"I was sitting there wondering why this thing was getting as loud as it was for as cheap as it was. ... At that moment I felt satisfied with that purchase. Some thing of which I never felt with the Sony or Samsung because of their price point."
"best bet for a budget soundbar"
"Found a Vizio M series for 80 bucks, it was a steal."

"I can’t believe the amount of bass from the cute little sub."
"Call of Duty sounds the best while using DTS as it seems to offer the most depth/range of bass."
"massive improvement over the tv speakers"

"The difference between these Vizio DTS DTX supported surround sound systems and even a high quality 3.1 is dramatic. ... I've had it for about 2 years now in February ... I found that even if I jumped up to about $700 the system that I purchased is competitive because the atmos feature is really hard to pin down."
"I would go with Vizio if you want surround sound (Left, Center, Right, Rear Left, Rear Right, Subwoofer)."
"Vizio also has Atmos-Surround solutions with their Elevate series."

"when I get info from the soundbar it says Dolby digital surround when using DTS but when using Linear PCM it only says Stereo and that absolutely drives me crazy."
"For me I don get 5.1 LPCM over eARC. ... I get a simulated 5.1 that appears to be 5.1 but for example in the switch test the bass doesn activate and rear speakers get activated when they shouldn and the rear left and right are the same, and that s the symptoms I ve heard from pretty much anyone who has extensively tested it, even on PC. ... In other words the surround is messed up."
"I have to use HDMI-IN for LPCM, from any source(PS5, switch, PC), to get proper surround."

"Can be a little harder to figure out placements, especially since they are wired to the subwoofer."

"The Dolby Atmos speakers are on the bar towards the center so it's kinda hard to make out over head effects without doing it virtually"
