Great upgrade coming from the Vizio 2.1 system. I love that the surround speakers connect to the sub woofer instead of the sound bar. For the price, the sound is amazing.

I purchased the Vizio M51ax-J6 specifically because I wanted a soundbar with 5.1 “Dolby Atmos” and dual stereo mode for YouTube music. My old soundbar would only play music from the front/center & sub speakers. This soundbar did the trick. I now get great sounding stereo music from all 5 speakers, and killer movie/tv surround sound. I also wanted a soundbar that could be mounted flush under my new Samsung QLED 60” tv. This worked with inexpensive L-shaped brackets I purchased from Amazon. Pretty much all other soundbars I looked at with Dolby Atmos specs have up-firing speakers which they do not recommended mounting under your tv as the sound could be obstructed. This soundbar does not have speakers on the top. The up-fires are in the front & sides, angled up I suppose. Who knows if I’m getting true Dolby Atmos, but I’m definitely hearing a new-to-me type of surround sound which is awesome. I tried a few different connection configs, and found this works the best: 4K Firestick into HMDI E-ARC on the soundbar, soundbar out to HMDI E-ARK on TV. All 3 devices are in sync and sound great!

I have a Vizio 2.1 soundbar in the living room and bought this to go in my bedroom. It’s not audiophile. I own audeze and sennheiser headphones. But, on the music preset, it’s like listening to my favorite songs for the first time. I’m impressed. Switch to the movie preset and movies come alive. I wall mounted everything with the included wall mounts, using drywall anchors I already had. The surround speakers i mounted directly to my left and right, not behind me. Setup was automatic. Just plug everything in.

Excellent sound from a small package. Fits perfectly under the 75” Sony Bravia and allows passthrough with Xbox series x and features Dolby atoms.
