ZVOX AccuVoice AV835 review

The AV835 takes the ZVOX approach and adds the one feature many families ask for: HDMI-ARC. With one HDMI cable to a modern TV, the soundbar follows the TV's power and volume, so an older viewer can keep the remote they already know. ZVOX lists 20 levels of dialogue boost here, ten AccuVoice and ten SuperVoice, which gives finer control than the AV157. Output Leveling tames loud commercials and also lifts low dialogue, and two built-in woofers give fuller sound than the smaller ZVOX models from a cabinet under 2 inches high. The 3.5mm line out supports headphones, a wireless transmitter or a powered subwoofer. There is no Wi-Fi, voice assistant or app, which suits people who want a simple device. At $249.99 it costs more than the AV157, and the extra levels matter most to viewers whose hearing needs a strong boost.
