    The unit appears to be well made and very easy to install on the wall using the provided template and easy drop-in mount pegs. The connections are simple and well-marked. As soon as we turned on the power, it was recognized and the sound was an improvement over the speakers in the back/bottom of the TV. You will notice that issue on all the flatter LED type screens. The only drawback we have so far is trying to get the item registered with Vizio. The chat option on a Sunday leaves more to be desired.

    Just needed something that was an improvement over the speakers in my TCL QM7. This soundbar fits the bill. It wouldn't be satisfactory for delivering a true home theater experience though. I was able to connect the soundbar to my Echo device via the TCL Assistant skill, so many of the its operations are voice-enabled now. That's a plus as well.

    Very happy with this soundbar. Work great with my older D58u-D3 with CEC enabled whereas another brand (Yamaha) would not. Maybe it helps that they are the same brand, and I would not doubt that Vizio intentionally causes their TVs to only work well with their brand of sound bars. Either way, it sounds great and I am happy to have the improved sound from these speakers. The different EQ modes (direct, movie, dialog, music) are nice to have too.

    Our Polk Signa Solo stopped working, so we replaced it with this soundbar after a little research. We wanted to stick with a single speaker solution. We are very pleased with this Vizio! Though the surround simulations aren't as good as the Polk, the frequency response range is outstanding! Bass is truly deep enough for movies and music, and highs are very crisp. Nice design and very easy setup. If you prefer to use optical instead of HDMI, you should find this soundbar to be very suitable for you.

    We are a household of people obsessed with sound. Well, ok. Maybe it's just me, but we have a full Dolby Atmos system in the living room, an Echo Studio in the dining room, a patio and pool area surrounded by speakers, and so on. We bought this particular sound bar to improve upon the absolutely horrible audio produced by the smart TV in our master bedroom. The room is on the larger size for a bedroom at about 23 by 17 feet. This little bar does a pretty good job of reproducing trebble, midrange, and bass audio. The trebble can be turned up so high as to be harsh, but EQ adjustments allow you to tone that effect down. Mids are clear, and dialog doesn't get swallowed up by everything around it. The bass won't shake the room the way a system with a dedicated sub will, but that's not really what I want it to do in my bedroom. Overall sound quality is great for the price and considering my initial hopes and expectations.
    The sound bar includes HDMI, 3.5 Mm, and bluetooth connectivity, and switching between inputs is easy. Switching between pre-configured audio modes is also simple, and there's even voice feedback as you switch from one to another.
    The reason I am writing this review is that I just recommended this sound bar to my sister for her living room, and I realized that I hadn't previously written a review, even though I bought the device more than a year and a half ago. I'd definitely like all of you and my sister to know that, in my opinion, you probably can't buy a much better sound bar at this price point. If you're looking to improve the sound coming from your TV in a small to medium room without breaking the bank, and you don't really need or want true surround sound, don't hesitate to pick one of these up.

    Just to get this out of the way - if you look online for impressions of this soundbar like I did, you'll probably see audiophiles gripe about it only being 2.1 and its subpar Dolby Atmos performance. But if you're looking into an all-in-one soundbar at this price like I did, you're probably not an audiophile and you'll probably be just as happy with this as I am.

    I mainly got this because I was getting tired of the tinny sound coming from my Hisense TV, and I definitely think the difference in audio quality with this soundbar is night and day - the directional sound is clearer, the bass is much more noticeable, etc etc. And I love that using HDMI-ARC means everything works out of the box and I don't need to sync the soundbar to my video game consoles or anything.

    This soundbar isn't going to win awards if you want the best audio experience imaginable, but for the average TV watcher it's absolutely a worthwhile step up from TV speakers.

    First off - I'm not an audiophile. I just want a good sound that I don't have to keep adjusting. My old soundbar didn't play 5:1 audio and I was looking for one that did at a reasonable price. After researching opinions on various soundbars, I opted for the VIZIO M-series All-in-One. Couldn't be more pleased with it! First off, it's low and doesn't interfere with my TV's infrared location when I need to turn the TV on and off. My old soundbar was higher and I had to hold the TV remote almost over my head to get it to link to the TV. This one I don't so one plus there. There are various options for input such as bluetooth, optical, etc and you can easily switch inputs if needed. However, once you set up your HDMI input on the TV, it will automatically find that setting and lock it in. Plus number 2 - no more having to manually choose it each time I turn the soundbar on. Finally, the best part - the sound is really good and it adjusts the sound level so you're don't have to crank it up to hear speech then get your ears blown out when explosions or jet engines come on. Commercials aren't louder either, which apparently was a common thing a while back. It's easy to hook up, the sound is great and it cost less than $200! Win...win...win! Highly recommended!

    I have a Panasonic 55 inch TV with pretty good sound quality, however, like most TV's the speakers are located in the rear of the set making the sound less effective. I purchased the Visio M series with the hopes of improving the clarity and quality of the sound so that we may not have to rely on Closed Caption to understand what we are viewing. It was an easy install but I had to study the instructions a little. (Complete instructions are NOT INCLUDED and you have to print them from the On Line web site.) So far I am pleased with the results but I will have to fine toon the sound, ei(Treble and Base) I saved myself quite a bit by purchasing it from Amazon on the Prime Promotion Days.

    After our previous sound bar with a separate subwoofer malfunctioned, we were in the market for a replacement that offered similar features at a comparable price point. The Vizio sound bar caught my attention due to its integrated Dolby Atmos, built-in subwoofer, and included wall mount kit.

    Features and Performance:
    - Integrated Dolby Atmos: Provides immersive audio experience with realistic sound effects.
    - Built-In Subwoofer: Eliminates the need for a separate subwoofer, saving space and simplifying setup.
    - Wall Mount Kit: Conveniently included, allowing for a sleek, furniture-free setup under the TV.

    Installation and Setup:
    - Mounting: Despite discarding the provided template initially, the installation was straightforward. It would have been helpful if a level was included, but I managed with one I had on hand.
    - Security: The sound bar sits securely on the brackets, even without being bolted down, which was pleasantly surprising.

    User Experience:
    - Sound Quality: Delivers powerful sound suitable for both TV watching and gaming, enhancing our living room experience.
    - Versatility: Smooth transition between different audio sources (TV, video games, music) without any issues.
    - Compact Design: Packs a lot of power and features into a compact size, ideal for smaller spaces.

    Conclusion:
    The Vizio sound bar has exceeded our expectations, offering impressive sound quality and functionality in our living room setup. The integrated Dolby Atmos and built-in subwoofer provide a rich audio experience without the clutter of additional components. Despite minor inconveniences like lacking a built-in level, the installation was manageable, and the sound bar securely mounted to the wall. Overall, it's a worthwhile investment for anyone seeking high-quality audio performance in a compact, all-in-one package.

    Sound is very good considering the price, deep lows, crisp highs. I was worried about wall-mounting it because the wall mount slots on the bottom of the sound bar are oriented such that the R/L sides are flipped when wall-mounted, compared to sitting on a flat surface below the TV - so I imagined that wall mounting might cause the sound to come out the wrong sides. But I was wrong! The sound bar automatically redirects L/R correctly when wall-mounted, it must have an accelerometer to sense the direction of gravity and correctly direct L/R channels no matter what the mounting orientation. Brilliant!

    This soundbar sounds great but it is in my bedroom where the ceiling is lower and the room is smaller. I have a big Yamaha soundbar in my living room, it sounds good, if course the ceiling is higher and the room in bigger. I'm going to swap them out and see if the Vizio still sounds better in a bigger room. I doike the Vizio though. For a company that isn't known as well in making speakers like JBL, Klipsch, Polk Audio, Sony, Sonos, Bose, etc... the Vizio sounds pretty good.

    I picked this up on an awesome deal for $149 and it was delivered next day. It is perfect for my needs(Samsung QN90C - 77") which were:
    1. eArc Connection to allow the TV to control the volume and pass through the audio. As TV's continue to get thinner they unfortunately loose some fidelity particularly in sound depth and width. This sound bar really filled that gap at a very affordable price. it really sounds good!

    Would it be nice to have full surround sound with Atmos? Of course, but movies are not my primary viewing so in most cases stereo reproduction is just fine for me. I will say though the bass performs better than I expected on this device so not have a dedicated subwoofer isn't missed too much and the width/clarity of sound compared to the TV alone also makes up for not having the additional surround channels.

    It would be nice also to have a legit EQ but I find that i prefer the pass through modes on both the tv and soundbar(direct mode) and those presets present well and sound great. I haven't connected other bluetooth devices to it yet(normally for music I use a different system or headphones) but can give an update once i get there.

    Regardless of price I like the sound and simplicity however at this price I consider it a very good value.

    For years I only had one unit to serve my TV, computer and aux (Logitech Z625) and while sound quality was THX certified, I wanted to try a soundbar that has separate mid and tweeters. Man I should have gotten this thing sooner. weight and size is decent showing it's not cheaply made. I believe it says subwoofer built-in... The bass is clean and tight. I can finally hear crisp highs and mids. TV audio isn't muffled now. Movies sound like theatre and songs sound like concerts. Ok maybe i'm exaggerating but seriously the sound stage is outstanding for the price but don't expect Polk Audio quality. for a 55 in TV this will do just fine and even more so. Very satisfied with this purchase especially if you need to minimize/don't want to have a bulky sub.

    I have a Vizio 70" and this sounds bar works absolutely perfect! I can hear everything and it sounds like I'm at the movie theater 🎥

    The one thing that's noticeably great is THE BASS!!!! I can't tell how many times I think there's someone outside with subwoofers on, only to find that it's my own system.

    The setup was ok. I had called support just to make sure I did it correctly and even they seemed a little lost. None the less, with the help from customer support, I have the sound bar turning on with the TV and adjustable to the TV remote.

    I went and got the $24, 3 year protection an because honestly, this thing does a lot. I haven't even played with the settings yet.

    It's easy to use and set up and it sounds good. It has bass. It's a nice deep bass. But be realistic here. If you're looking for deep loud booming bass you can only get that out of a sub woofer. This sounds clear and has several presets as well as separate high n low adjustments.

    Some of the options like TVOL and VRT:X was hard to figure out because there was no user manual. I had to look it up online. 🤔 All the options make noticeable subtle differences. Vocal clarity is good. It never sounds too tinny or too high pitched or rattling bass like it's struggling. The bass does drop in richness the higher the volume. Probably so it doesn't blow.

    Bottom line it's a good sounding soundbar with good options and for the money completely worth buying. 👍

    I needed to improve the sound of the terrible factory TV speakers on our living room TV. I also didn't want to mess with wires for remote rear and side speakers. The Vizio M-Series All-in-One 2.1 (M213ad-K8) was exactly what I was looking for. It sits low and wide in front of the TV and delivers room filling sound from its built in six speakers. It worked so well that I purchased another for my parent's TV. They always complained that they couldn't hear the voices on their flat screen TV. Now they compliment the TV sound every time I visit. I have since recommended this system to multiple friends.

    The Vizio M series sound bar is an upgrade to TV speakers in a small space but not powerful enough to fill a large family room. I am using it in a small den. It would work in a bedroom or other smaller space. It sits low so it does not block the TV. It sits on a black entertainment cabinet and it is not very visible. I control it with an Apple TV and thus I can use the passthrough HDMI and the ARC HDMI on the TV and turn all three on with the Apple Remote. You can use the Apple Remote to control the volume so you only need the Vizio remote when changing the input. The Dolby Atmos impact is minimal at best but for an all in one sound bar the bass is pretty good and music sounds good through both the Apple TV controlled apps and bluetooth connections. I have an Echo Dot hooked up to VAUX input and can use Alexa through the bar for various normal echo uses. I think that this soundbar is worthwhile having as long as you don't compare it to larger 3.1 or 5.1 systems with more power and soundstage. I recommend it for a smaller space but not for true surround sound uses in a larger family room.

    I was genuinely surprised by the fullness of the sound generated by this soundbar. I purchased it to use outdoors with a portable projector, but it really surprised me and now I’m considering using it to replace my current Samsung HW-S50A, even though that one has a dedicated sub and rear speakers.

    It is the perfect soundbar for someone who does not want or have space for a separate subwoofer. The bass is deep but also very well controlled (no rattles) and can actually be felt, which is hard to accomplish without a separate sub.

    Although there is no dedicated center channel, it sounds as though there is one. Voices are crystal clear and distinct.

    Connectivity is great, as it has HDMI input and output, meaning you can hook up a streaming device directly to the soundbar and free up an HDMI port on the TV or eliminate clutter behind the TV. I use it in conjunction with an HDMI transmitter/receiver to place the soundbar and streaming stick under the projector screen and connect wirelessly to the projector about 10 feet away.

    The simulated surround sound feature is probably the only thing that fell short for me, as I just did not sense anything more than directional sound coming from the front. That being said, the sound does fill the room, so although it is not directional it is still very immersive. There is no discernible distortion at max volume.

    I can’t imagine there is anything better at this price point or in this form factor.

    This is an excellent addition to my Vizio tv... For some reason the TV has always sounded like the sound was going behind it. It was so hard to hear without cranking it up ALLLLLL the way, but this knocked out the problem.

    The sound bar comes with two black pieces you can screw into the wall to slide it on and hang up. I made some 3d printed brackets to screw the pieces into and hang it above the tv on a shelf I had.

    If you have ARC HDMI (i think thats right) it will allow your regular TV remote to turn this up and down without using the provided remote.

    It has buttons on it as well if you want to use them to changes modes like connect to bluetooth.

    This thing has like 6 ways to connect it to your TV.

    The bass in it sounds pretty dope too.

    Don't be like me... remember to go into your TV menu and basically turn off TV sound so the sound bar "actually works" *face palm*

    Will this sound bar compete with a 5.1 system with a powered subwoofer? No, of course not. If you're currently using the speakers from your TV as your primary audio source, then this is product would be an outstanding upgrade. Sound quality stays tight even at high volumes, bass is surprisingly good even at the default setting. I love the Bluetooth functionality, as it lets you play music from your phone directly to the speaker without needing to turn on your TV. For those of you with a limited set of HDMI ports this speaker has a HDMI input (Nintendo, PS5, etc.) and output (to the TV) so you won't be losing any of your precious HDMI ports on your TV. HDMI CEC works as expected when you connect a device to the HDMI input. At $200 this speaker is a great deal, keep an eye on the price as I was able to get it for about $50 less when it was on sale.

    This is my second Vizio soundbar without a subwoofer. I was very happy with the quality for the price of that one, and over two and a half years later it is still running strong. However with the release of Dolby Atmos and many shows on Netflix including this upgraded feature, I wanted to enjoy this novel sound experience. So in Vizio released the soundbar, I was excited because they're one of the few companies that actually create an option without a subwoofer as they are some of the few that understand the practical challenges of owning an audio system. Honestly the technology's got so good now, that unless you live in a large space, the value of a subwoofer is really not justified it seems. The sound on this speaker is of excellent clarity. Voices come through clearly. Bass is excellent as it enhances the watching experience to have a more dramatic impact rather than just simply being punchy. The atmos orientation of the speakers is very effect. Watching shows like drive to survive which involves formula 1 drivers racing around, actually feels like cars are driving past you, not just on a television. For those who use an Amazon fire stick device, make sure you plug it directly into the soundbar HDMI in port. From there route the HDMI cable from the arc port into the TV. There's a slight delay in processing, which is most prominent in the lag of the closed captions to keep up with speech. The remote is well laid out and the same one used across many devices. It is not entirely intuitive, so I recommend you read the user manual to know how to adjust things like the treble and bass. Night mode is a useful function so as to not disturb folks sleeping by turning down the bass an appropriate amount. For some reason all the equalizer presets aren't available. I'm not sure if this is because I have an older Vizio TV, it is due to the Amazon fire stick, or some other reason. Also there is a true volume button which equals out the noise level across different media to prevent jarring differences from one channel or source to the next. This is really what I love most about Vizio, they are in some ways like the new generation of consumer electronic companies that understand is not just about the hardware, but also the user-friendly design of the units which actually allow optimal use and thus full extraction of its value. Good job fellas.

    This is a review of the 36" soundbar with integrated subwoofer. I don't know where I rate as an audiophile, but I just want the sound produced by my computer to be as close as possible to the sound that was originally recorded. In my opinion, that is what "high fidelity" really means.

    I tried to use an old set of Logitech 5.1 surround speakers with my computer, and it sounded muddy and distorted. It was way better than tiny laptop speakers or my gaming headset, but it still wasn't quite right. I thought maybe it was just my poor memory, telling me that I had once heard crystal clear sound that was closer to reality.

    Then I plugged this sound bar into the eArc port of my Vizio TV, and viola, that clarity was back. Speaking and singing voices are clear and crisp. Mids are smooth and distinct (I can hear harmony like it was recorded on a separate track). The bass is not overdone like so many small speaker systems trying to overcompensate. Honestly, the large subwoofer unit on my Logitech 5.1 still gave me a headache even after I had turned it down as far as it would go.

    So I have a theory about why this soundbar sounds so good. One is that all the connections right up until the driver are carrying digital data. In my old speaker system, the wires are RCA cables, so clearly they are carrying analog signal which is lossy and subject to distortion the longer the cables are (and nearby interference.) Of course the biggest factor should be the drivers in the speakers themselves; they just get old over time and pick up distortions just from being what they are. I don't know how the speakers in this sound bar will hold up in the coming years, but right now they sound AMAZING. You can pay a LOT MORE to get even better audio fidelity, but bang for your buck these are a steal.

    I'm an audiophile (sound snob). I won't play music if it is not of good quality. When we moved I had to give up a great setup. So I bought a soundbar for the TV. Not happy with it. Bought this Vizio soundbar based on various ratings. Wow. I can finally enjoy music again. Great clean bass. As pure a sound that you will ever get for under $1000. For only $200.
    I could rave forever. EQ has a number of modes, all effective. The dialogue mode truly does produce clear speech. I like playing music that I put on USB keys. But get a USB extension cable, else it is cumbersome to insert and remove the USB keys. And I can play my extensive music database on my computer via the Bluetooth mode.
    The TV is connected via the HDMI eARC input. The TV sound is as good as it gets. And when I stream music, I say again - Wow.
    A couple of "not so good". Dolby Atmos does not seem to make any difference in the sound output. And the Virtual mode, although producing more of a surround effect, does not sound as pure and full as the non-virtual mode. But again, the sound you can get is great, especially for the price.
    I have been in the silence mode for over a year. I am back to enjoying all of my music. Thanks Vizio, and Amazon for the discount.

    Let me just put out the disclaimer that I am not an audiophile by any means. Also this is my first sound bar.

    I live in an apartment and was looking for a budget sound bar with in-built sub-woofer for an easy setup and to avoid upsetting my neighbors. I like to do a good amount of research on the internet before I buy any device and I narrowed down on YAMAHA SR-B20A & Sony HTX8500. Both of which have good reviews and ratings. However upon watching a review for this new Vizio M213ad-K8 on YouTube by Digital Trends, I decided to give it a try as it is a brand new device and it fits my sub $300 budget. Since this is a brand new sound bar, there aren't too many reviews or ratings available to rely on.

    Looks :
    The sound bar looks fine. It does not stand out and blends right into my TV base. After a while you forget that it's there. Also, it's not too tall so it does not block my TV view.

    Setup :
    The sound bar is extremely light weight and an easy 1 person job for setup. The setup for the device was a breeze and it was up and running in 5 minutes. There are very few cables to connect to get it running.

    Performance :
    I am extremely impressed by the way it sounds. Despite the low price and small size, it sounds great. I have watched few movies & videos so far and have enjoyed all of them. It has few pre-defined EQ settings and I ended up going back to the movie mode for most of the content including songs. At 60% to 70% volume level it gets plenty loud for a small to medium sized room. Even at high volume, there is no distortion.

    Negatives :
    My only negative for this sound bar is that it lacks slightly in the base. The sound bar allows base adjustment and I have pretty much set it to its highest level. Don't get me wrong, you can definetly feel the base but in few action sequences I felt the need to have additional 20%-25% more base. For the price and the in built sub-woofer setup I shouldn't complain. But just wanted to share my experience. For 95% of my viewing habit though this fits my needs perfectly and I am extremely satisfied with this sound bar.

    Summary :
    This is a great sound bar for the price. I am extremely satisfied and am definitely keeping this one. I hope my review helps other potential buyers.

    I will keep updating my review if anything changes.
