Samsung HW-S60A vs Vizio M-Series M512a-H6

Verdict

The Samsung HW-S60A soundbar is a decent option for those looking for clear dialogue and overall performance with movies and TV. It has good soundstage, but lacks Dolby Atmos support which may be disappointing for some. The setup is not as versatile as the Sonos, but it does get the job done. However, there have been reports of the remote control malfunctioning and difficulty connecting to Alexa.

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.
