Best system!

Amazing System! Works very well with our sony tv and connected very easily. Connects very well with the phone through bluetooth as well.No problems what so ever. If we could give this a 10 star we absolutely would! Highly recommend.

Great Surround Sound System, plays well with Vizio

This is a very nice surround sound system, the subwoofer and satellite speakers handle the job very well. If there's one downfall, the center speaker seems a bit week. All in All tho, I'm pretty pleased with this purchase.

Easy to installed, Horrible to configure, Sound OK

So-So. Overall. Wired Rear Speakers a real turn-off. Blue tool were out of stock, wish I had waited would have been worth the price & wait. Programing the features is horrible. No instructions with unit and online assistance is a waste of time. The sound quality and performance is good if you can figure out how to use it. I'm guessing this product will or is discontinued. Unless they provide better instructions and you don't mind wired rear speakers, it should be.

reply from VIZIO

Hello OldDummy, our apologies that your sound bar didn't come with the User Manual. If you purchased it from a 3rd party re seller, it's possible that something happened to remove the manual that was outside of our control. A great way to find the User Manual online would be to head over to https://support.vizio.com. When there, you will want to select the User Manuals box and on the next page, you will need to enter in your sound bar's model number, M51a-H6. If you’d like any assistance adjusting these settings, our customer support team would love to help you dial in the sound bar to your preference as well, you can reach them at 844-254-8087.

Limited cables

A bit difficult to hook up with older smart tv. If your older smart tv does not have the newest HDMI port you will have to use the optical port and they no longer provide that cable. The remote is a big confusing until you learn their cryptic abbreviations. The sound is good and variable. The woofer is no longer a large thinner piece to fit nicely behind a sofa, but box shaped. They do not include the rear speaker stands pictured, but do provide wall mounting pieces

Works great with new LG TV

I replaced my 2016 M series Vizio TV with a new LG 65” due to the native apps like YouTube TV were no longer supported (which stinks on an otherwise good TV). The reviews on the LG sound bar combined with the listening experience of the display model in store convinced me it was not the best idea to replace the sound bar with the LG. However, the old Vizio sound bar did not have HDMI necessary to control it with any TV. I decided to by the VIZIO sound bar similar to my old one but with HDMI. Totally pleased with my decision as you don’t see the brand on the bar below the TV and it sounds amazing. I have another Samsung TV with a Samsung sound bar and wish I had done the same and matched it with a Vizio and saved a bunch of money.

I highly recommend.

Great sound overall; plenty of bass; frequencies are discrete, not muddled. I have some hearing loss, so dialogue clarity is important. Great for dialogue. The various speakers' volume levels are controllable. I shopped around a lot for this item; very happy with this purchase. Price was good, too, in comparison. I recommend!

Above average

The price & the quality are great. I was expecting just a little more bass with it though. From testing it out in the store to seeing it up at home, due to the space difference, it doesn't quite have as much bass as from the store. Other than that, it has been doing us well.

VIZIO 5.1 M-Series Sound Bar

The 1st one was a defective unit Sam's Irving took it back no questions ask. 2nd one RAWKS THE HOUSE ! I did ask how the extended warranty worked if I decided to purchase for the 2nd one , when I found out it was a second party that was a no. If the extended warranty was through Sam's I would have purchased . I did not purchase for the 1st.

Great Soundbar!

I bought this as a replacement for my Sony X950H tv. I had 4 different soundbars (Yamaha YAS-209, YAS-106, Klipsch Cinema 400 & the Cinema 800 5.1) before I bought this one. This soundbar blows the other 4 out of the water! It offers the most adjustment, clarity, best bass, the sound stage is great and the sound blends with the rear speakers/woofer seamlessly! I can't recommend this system enough, for me it is the Best value available for small to mid-size rooms!
