Great Sound for the Price

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can’t see paying as much for a soundbar as a TV. This soundbar fits the bill for everyday family use. If you are an audiophile you well probably go for a more expensive one.

Sound bar

We love the surround sound. Great bass. We had to move our router and cable box one shelf down in our entertainment center due to interference with the subwoofer. Works perfect now. Great sound. The satellite speakers are great.

Great sound!

I researched Atmos soundbars for quite a while and this consistently ranked highest in it's price range. The sound is amazing for both music and movies. I would recommend this to anyone!

Atmos!!!

I can never go back to regular sound. After hearing the Dolby Atmos in this M-Series I am blown away. The bass, the fidelity, and the overall quality has exceeded my expectations.

Good sound. Hard to set up and get audio synched

I like the sound. Dolby Atmos does well filing the room with sound. I have issues where the sound bar does not turn on when I turn on tv, and issues where the audio cuts out so it forces tv sound to take over.

Sounds is Great. Keeps turning off.

Vizio M series TV, xbox series X, this product. Hooked up properly via hdmi arc. Updated to current firmware. Better with the new firmware but clearly a patch not a fix. Need more work on coordination between devices using e-arc hdmi.

Not Compatible with Sony TV

The Vizio M51a-H6 soundbar is not compatible with the Sony RMF-TX800U remote which comes with the Sony XR-75X90K. The Vizio soundbar cannot be programed so that the Sony remote can be used to control the volume.

Unbelievable sound for such an affordable price.

I did not think of Vizio as a high end audio equipment, I could not be more uninformed. This system is their low end product line with higher end sound quality. It make me want to go to an audio store to experience their higher end equipment.

Best sound I have heard for a Television

The M-Series 5.1 system was more than I expected. Once I found out how to adjust the settings it was like a new experience enjoying my shows I have seen before.
