    The sound bar is great but the electronics manager said I would be receiving a $45 rebate. It didn't happen.

    I bought this product based on the salesman's recommendation, and I feel like I have been duped. The sound quality is poor, considering how much I paid for it. I regret this purchase, and I wish I could return it, but it has been over 14 days. I bought it during the Christmas holidays and due to time constraints I was only able to set it up 2 days ago. Now I am stuck with it.

    Not the great sound system I had hoped for. Surround speakers are weak as is the bass woofer. Adjustments on the soundbar make minimal change, almost a waste of time trying to adjust.

      VIZIO’s Sound Bar audio systems are designed to give you a realistic theater experience. You should hear the bass rumble during explosions, planes flying, earthquakes, action scenes, and anything that would normally have a deep tone. You may not get these tones when watching something like a sitcom or the nightly news. If you have a VIZIO television there is a channel on the ‘Watchfree’ service that plays action movies with no subscription or rental fee, this might be a good place to find some content to test your sound bars limits. If you are already watching content that should be giving you bass, visit support.VIZIO.com and click on ‘Contact Us’. We’ve got agents ready to chat, text message, or speak with you on the phone to adjust settings and help optimize your sound bar. VIZIO

    Love Vizio!

    This product is absolutely amazing! I have only ever owned Vizio soundbars. This one is far better than any I have owned! When you are watching something that has Dolby Atmos audio, you can really tell. It gets louder and the sound really moves throughout the room. The sub has nice, deep rumbles, without any distortion. It is also one of the best sounding soundbars when playing music on it through bluetooth. I am extremely impressed with it. I recommend it to anyone!

    Best sound bar for 5.1.2 ATMOS

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Received as a gift. Don't write many reviews but for IMO this is one of if not the best, ATMOS sound bar systems on the market without breaking the bank. The sound is amazing sound and easy setup to my TV for seamless interaction. Very nice design and the kids love the ends that pop out and light up when you play ATMOS. 5 Stars!

    Atmos speakers are a gimmick

    Sounds small and tinny. Good localization but the Atmos up firing speakers don’t add anything.

      Hello Joey, VIZIO’s Sound Bar audio systems are designed to give you a realistic theater experience. You should hear the bass rumble during explosions, planes flying, earthquakes, action scenes, and anything that would normally have a deep tone. You may not get these tones when watching something like a sitcom or the nightly news. If you have a VIZIO television there is a channel on the ‘Watchfree’ service that plays action movies with no subscription or rental fee, this might be a good place to find some content to test your sound bars limits. Another good test of the ATMOS capabilities can be done by playing an ATMOS test video on the YouTube app. If you are already watching content that should be giving you bass and ATMOS effect, visit support.VIZIO.com and click on ‘Contact Us’.

    Movie theater in my bedroom!

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have a P-Elevate (P514a-H6) in my family room so decided to get the new M-Elevate (M512E-K6) for my bedroom and I absolutely love it! Just like the P-Elevate, the front height speakers actually rotate up internally when the bar auto-detects Dolby ATMOS content, plus the end caps pop out with colored LEDs which you can control which is very cool. The sound is full, rich, with crystal clear dialog, and the bass unit (althogh smaller than the P-Elevate), packs a punch delivering deep bass which really adds to the movie experience. My bedroom feels like a movie theater. I mounted the bar under my TV and it looks very slick. Setup was simple, connected the sound bar to my TV via eARC with the included HDMI cable, which is the preferred connection method to fully experience Dolby ATMOS content. TV recognized the sound bar right away which allows me to adjust the sound bar volume using the TV remote. Very happy with bar!!

    Movie theater quality!

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Do not look passed this sound bar! I researched for days and went to multiple stores to listen to a lot of them! If you want that movie theater feel plus some, you wont be disappointed. You can adjust the EQ with a small screen on the remote and choose different audio modes as well. The bass is HOUSE SHAKING! if that's not your taste, simply turn the bass down with the remote. Overall 10/10 !

    This sound bar rocks! It delivers a true fully immersive sound experience. Watching atmos movies on netlfix and amazon prime are now so much more enjoyable. Installation took all of 15 mins to unbox and connect to my TV with all the cables included. The bar has front height speakers that auto rotate up and illuminate when the bar detects atmos. Well worth the price for the quality of sound output.

    Very good system, some minor problem with syncing

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Very good for almost all material, but some sources lead to very slight delays in syncing audio with video--noticeable when people's mouth movements are milliseconds ahead of their speech sounds. This varies with the source and probably has to do with audio processing. There is an adjustment via the remote for syncing, but it doesn't seem to help much. All in all, a very good system, particularly impressive with movies that have surround sound and loud bass sounds such as cannon fire. There is an adjustment via the remote for syncing, but it doesn't seem to help much.

    The Best Home Theater Soundbar

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I just got this soundbar and I can say that it was totally worth it. The soundbar get LOUD, like really loud. The Dolby Atmos really makes it feel like you are at the movie theaters at your own house. I watched Top Gun and the you can really hear the jets fly over your head. Super cool and impressive. Would definitely recommend!

    Truly a Unique Sound Experience !

    Vizio hit a home run by designing the Dolby Atmos speakers so that they rotate, which makes the sound feel like it’s coming from all around you. The sub woofer offers room shaking sound with a compact design!

    Amazing Balanced Movie Theater Like Sound

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have two of these M512e-k6 5.1.2 sound bars and I liked them better than the M512a-h6 soundbar because the dialogue is more pronounced and the sound is more balanced overall. I am even on latest firmware update and no issues at all with the soundbar. Those with issues, try Holding the Bluetooth button and Volume down(-) button the soundbar for 5 seconds. Sometimes a physical factory reset fixes most issues.
