Vizio M-Series 5.1 soundbar review (M51a-H6): The bar to beat

At first glance, the M-Series 5.1 may look a bit … boring. But that's sort of the point. The soundbar doesn't call attention to itself, and I consider that a good thing — you should be able to hear the gear without it being a visual intrusion. Vizio...

eARC, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X support Impressive subwoofer Seamless surround effects Comprehensive control Excellent fidelity

One HDMI input Less suitable for larger rooms

People go into budget-friendly soundbars with managed expectations. For most, as long as it sounds better than the TV’s built-in speakers, it’s usually fine. But the Vizio M-Series 5.1 defies those expectations and, as such, I think listeners will be...

Vizio M-Series 5.1 (M51a-H6) Review

Powerful, theater-like sub-bass and solid overall balance ; EQ and dedicated levels for individual channels ; 5.1 surround with Dolby Atmos support ; Generous array of included cabling

Only supports Bluetooth wireless. Middling height performance. No graphic EQ.

The Vizio M51a-H6 is impressive for mixed usage. Out-of-the-box, it has a very neutral sound profile that's suitable for listening to lots of different types of audio content. Its dedicated subwoofer adds a little extra kick in the bass range that's...

Vizio M-Series 5.1 M51a-H6 review

Vizio's M-Series 5.1 M51a-H6 gives you a lot for the money, but you need to work to get it to sound at its best.

True surround sound with Atmos support ; Lots of audio and input options ; Affordable

Bass lacks detail ; Takes work to get the right sound ; No upfiring speakers

But, neither of those come with satellite speakers, or offer Atmos support. If you’re looking for true 5.1 surround sound with Atmos and want to spend less than $400, the M51a-H6 is the one to buy.
