Sennheiser AMBEO vs Vizio M-Series M512a-H6

Verdict

The Sennheiser AMBEO is a well-built soundbar with lots of premium sound enhancement features, including a room correction mode as well as a graphic EQ and presets to help you customize its sound. It offers an impressive performance with surround and Atmos content, thanks to its AMBEO 3D mode that offers a wide and immersive soundstage. However, its large and bulky design may not be ideal for all listeners.

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.
