My Honest Vizio M51a-H6 Soundbar Review
Look I am neither an audiophile or an expert in technology. I watch a lot of television and like fantasy and science fiction films. I just purchased an LG C1 65″ OLED TV to replace a Sony Bravia LCD from 2009. To summarize, I never felt the sound from the C1 was all that horrible given how thin the TV is. But I wanted greater sound and something with more depth/surround/3D than my TV provided. I didn’t want to spend a bunch either.
So far, Vizio m series 5.1 soundbar has blown me away, particularly considering the price of $249. The item arrived in what seemed to be original vizio packaging. Each component was flawless. Setup was mainly straightforward because to the dedicated earc – I later discovered that only one HDMI port on my TV had earc, so I had to switch to that port. No huge deal. The device will go through the process of looking for a connection on each of its many inputs, but you may bypass the search and simply choose the input you want. I’ve now connected my 4K Blu-ray player to the soundbar, which will subsequently connect to the TV. This feature is fantastic (called pass through). The Dolby Atmos system sounds fantastic. I don’t miss the upfiring speeches at all. Granted, I’ve never used them, but the sound from the front (soundbar) and back (tiny satellite speakers + subwoofer) is fantastic! I watched a couple high-action movies using Dolby Atmos and the sound was flawless. It was fantastic and sounded fantastic. WOW. This system is fantastic, and I strongly suggest it. The variety of feedback is fantastic. I like how the power for both the subwoofer and the soundbar is a simple tiny two-prong socket rather than a large adaptor.
The interface / unit indication on the Vizio M51a-H6 soundbar itself is represented by a series of dots. The guidebook on what all the different patterns of dots may indicate is enormous. Fortunately, the remote has a little LCD screen that shows you what you’re doing. Deciphering what the dots are saying takes a WWII code breaker. We’ve have to be able to do better than a sequence of illuminated or unlit dots in 2022. It’s not a major problem, but it’s also not ideal. When you change an input or a setting, it’s as if God’s voice is coming through the vizio soundbars to tell you what you’ve done. Consider God speaking to Moses on Mt. Sinai and saying “bluetooth” or “movie.” It’s much too extravagant.
Because it was rebuilt, I added an additional two years of coverage for $25. I really like Vizio series 5.1 m51a-h6 sound bar system and am happy that I purchased it. If you want a low-cost, high-quality atmos system, and best audio experience this may be it!
