Polk Audio Signa S2 vs Vizio M-Series M512a-H6

Verdict

The Polk Audio Signa S2 is a great soundbar for its price. It is easy to set up and has a variety of connection options, including HDMI, optical, and Bluetooth. The sound quality is good with the HDMI and optical connections providing the best audio experience. The bass can kick in when desired and it can be connected to your phone via Bluetooth for music listening. However, some customers have reported issues with the woofer delays coming on or not being reliable when using an optical cable.

Verdict

Overall, the Vizio M-Series M512a-H6 is a great soundbar for those on a budget, offering a versatile performance with support for Dolby Atmos content and discrete surround speakers. The subwoofer delivers a deep, thumpy low-bass suitable for action movies and bass-heavy music, and there are granular audio controls for adjusting the bass and subwoofer levels. However, some users have reported issues with connectivity and the upfiring speakers not creating a 3D sound environment as advertised. Despite these drawbacks, the Vizio M-Series M512a-H6 remains a solid choice for those looking for a quality soundbar under $500.
