I bought the Vizio M213ad-k8 last year based on your review and recommendation of it. I have zero complaints on the sound quality and impressive bass for what it is. The only gripe I have is it very occasionally will not turn on and it needs to be unplugged and "reset" and it works just fine again. I would recommend this to anyone who just wants a soundbar only.

This is the show off when someone come visit and ask about the sound system.

@brianhallilujah 5 месяцев назад

Hi Caleb! I bought the M51ax-J6 with your recommendation 6 months ago and have absolutely zero regrets. The sound quality is fantastic and having 5.1 surround sound with virtual atmos (thanks to my slanted ceilings the up firing speakers would’ve been wasted on me) I can honestly say it’s the best setup for my situation. Thank you so much and keep up the good work!

@FrostyBud777 4 месяца назад

HOW DO YOU LIKE IT? i am about to buy it right now. I have a TCL Q7 tv and I LOVE IT. 10/10 perfect! But I tried their Q class 5.1 surround sound and the box and TCL website lied , it only has a 5.5 inch sub , not a 6.5 inch as labeled right on the box. A quick tape measure test and sure enough, it's only 5.5 inches.. LIES!!!! That alone makes me want something else. but the BASS IS NOT CONTROLLABLE enough. I have to crank the volume really loud in order to get the bass up. On your soundbar, m51ax-j6, are you able to keep the volume pretty low and crank the bass up really high? LOTS OF THUMP without the soundbar blaring loud?

@AnthonySkatz 5 месяцев назад

As a Sonos Arc with 300s and Sub owner, two comments: 1) The comment about "if music is a priority, get it" comment is very apt, and I think that makes it extremely versatile. More importantly 2) Like the Bose Smart Soundbar Ultra, the Sonos Arc is also modular, meaning you can also buy only the bar upfront and then add different Sonos speakers and sub(s) later. As someone who originally thought I only had space for just a bar and was looking for Dolby Atmos to pair with an Xbox Series X, especially considering this was two and a half years ago, this was a MASSIVE selling point to me, and it was considered arguably the best "All-in-One Atmos standalone bar" at the time. So if you're going to claim the Sonos Ultimate Immersion set may be your favorite system on the list, I think people should be aware that you don't need to drop the $2000-2500 upfront.

@AnthonySkatz 3 месяца назад

@@ravantgarde1899 I have an LG CX. I can't say I've noticed any lag with Atmos, nor is it something I've ever thought was happening at least when using apps that support it. I do think there's a very slight delay on Xbox, but apparently that's an Xbox issue.

@andreisandulescu9171 5 месяцев назад

I’m here because Caleb told me to tell you all about the Vizio All-in-One M213AD-K8 and, well, he ain’t wrong! We have a smaller living room with little space for a subwoofer, so I bought the AIO per Caleb’s recommendation, and man oh man. I still can’t believe it was only $150. The audio fidelity is amazing. Dialogue is clear and crisp, and music sounds amazing. It also gets quite loud. The bass profile can’t quite match the low frequency rumble of a separate subwoofer, but, if you turn it up to 75% or so, it comes surprisingly close! All in all, if you’re looking for a TV audio upgrade minus the sub, the M213AD-K8 is it. Enjoy.

@itsmini6175 5 месяцев назад

I have the Vizio All-in-One soundbar in my family room. It’s a solid choice for a medium sized room. As he said, the stereo separation is pretty good and it surprisingly has great low end. I only use it for TV and movies. Music sounds subpar on it but for $150, it’s hard to argue.

@mikehailer9353 5 месяцев назад

Have the Vizio M512A-H6 with a 70" in the living room & WE LOVE IT. Fantastic. As for the Vizio All in One - It's paired with a 55" in the bedroom & it sounds GREAT too.

@ShearluckStudios 5 месяцев назад

Awesome video! I bought the Vizio M512a-H6 about six months ago and absolutely love it! It offers a really great Atmos and 5.1 experience. The fidelity of the sound also felt like a huge upgrade versus the basic LG soundbar I upgraded from. And the subwoofer is designed to be placed in the back of a room, making it way easier to set up in rooms where a traditional home theater wouldn’t work. For the price I feel like I’m getting way more than I should be.

@Cesar-Avila 4 месяца назад

Agreed I got it on sale for $300 one year and it truly does feel, look and sound more premium than it should for the price. And I got a Bose 600 for the bedroom when I sit in bed once in a blue moon. And it’s amazing. Mostly used more for music

Hey there, fellow Caleb fans! I bought the Vizio all-in-one soundbar almost exactly one year ago today, and I can confirm it sounds extremely impressive for its price! The clarity is exceptional and it can get ridiculously loud, so you definitely don't have to worry about volume. For those of you who have a JBL Flip 5/6, I'd say it's roughly equivalent to pairing two of those together in stereo, if that helps give you any reference. Anyway, hope this helped, and always a joy watching and learning from your videos Caleb! Happy holidays!

@brianperhamus5227 2 месяца назад

I've been wanting to get a soundbar but unsure how exactly it would improve the sound of my TV (Hisense U6k) and I actually currently have a JBL flip 5 that I use to play music so this comparison is perfect! looks like I'll be placing my order for the Vizio!

@an3k 5 месяцев назад

I bought the HT-A7000 (without subwoofer or surround speakers) and immediately returned it. Instead I bought the HT-A9 and this system is amazing. I later bought the bigger subwoofer too. I can't really blame the HT-A7000 because it's just my apartment and tv placement that doesn't work with soundbars at all. On the left I have 7 meters of open space and on the right there's just 20 cm. And because I had no surround speakers I didn't got anything but "stereo". HT-A9 solved all of the problems, especially because you can also manually adjust where the TV is placed compared to the speakers and also where your listening position is too.

@michael-4k4000 3 месяца назад

What happened the HT-A7000 not float your boat??? So many reviewers raved about it. I think with any of these small bars you need dedicated back surrounds and a sub. It’s that simple. That’s why the A9 is such a great option, you get 4 speakers with up firing capabilities, the virtual center is fine, but it would be cool if Sony offered a dedicated center if desired.

I just bought the Samsung 930c a few weeks ago and love it. The wireless rear channel surrounds are just what I was looking for. This thing packs a punch!!

Thank you for the great video. Since I know very little about soundbars, I am looking to replace my out-dated Bose Accustimass system with that HUGE subwoofer which has been taking up a ton of floor-space. Question, can you connect a soundbar (and sub) to a receiver or, do you even need a receiver?

The Nakamichi Dragon cassette deck was a classic. Just sold my dad's one for £2500. Nice to see the name throwback.

@jimbird1985 5 месяцев назад

I have the Vizio all in one and I absolutely love it. Great sound and big bass out of this tiny box. Not full Atmos but like Caleb says this thing pulls off some amazing audio. Works great with gaming too. For $150 you can’t go wrong.

Hello I just got the sound bar the other day and I noticed that when it gets very basic the chassie vibrates. has anyone else experienced this with this sound bar or is the sound bar just maybe bad. it seems like when you bump off the base it gets a little bit vibrating at the chassy can't handle it.

@byron7583 5 месяцев назад

@@stevensitessentials3281yeah keep the bass level at the default level (the solid 3 white lights in the middle when you adjust it) can also put it down a few pegs if needed. I put the bass level up 5 or 6 levels and it was way too bumpy and vibrating. I honestly leave the bass and treble at the middle default setting, have VRT:X and TvVOL off and the EQ setting on Direct, and it sounds great. I find it to be the most accurate sound you can get with this soundbar without all the processing

@billlesesne872 5 месяцев назад

Thanks again for content, love your advice. Quick question: are the surround speakers for the M512a-H6 powered by the subwoofer just like the J6? If so, what is the length of the cord(s) that keep them all together?

@joshmo24 5 месяцев назад

Thanks Caleb. Absolutely addicted to your videos currently. Q930c is definitely what I'm going with.

Hey Caleb! Just a correction on the comment you made about the JBL soundbars, the Bar 800 & Bar 1000 have USB-C charging ports on their detachable speakers. I haven't had experience with the Bar 1300, but i'd assume it'd be included with that system too. Hope this helps, love the vids!

Thanks again for great information. I have the HTA9 with SW5 woofer. I do like it a lot for spacial sound but feel it lacks a little in clarity some how. I was looking at the Sony receivers with spacial 360 built in. Have you tried this with good wired speakers. Im curious if any receiver and quality separate speakers would be better to the point of justifying the work and upgrade. Thanks again

Got a Vizio 5.1.4 Dolby Atmos system for $500 a couple of years ago (soundbar, 2 rear speakers, subwoofer) at Costco. This was the cheapest 5.1.4 system I had seen. Before that I had only been using TV speakers. This was an amazing upgrade.

@B_Ahmed1234 5 месяцев назад

@@modalsoul6511 Ah, I understand now, no worries and thanks. Yeah, I was originally planning to get just a $100 soundbar to hear dialogue more clearly. I never really thought sound was that important (I was wrong). I didn't know anything about dolby atmos and stuff, but I went down the rabbit hole when I was looking for sound bars. The system I got had a price cut at Costco, so I used my mother-in-laws membership to order it online. I never had surround sound before at home, so it was a big change to my movie/tv/gaming experience.

@ManishKumar-ok8lm 5 месяцев назад

Came here to say that. I compared both Bose soundbar 900 and sonos arc with sub and surround. Sonos was good for music but trash for movies - the dialogues were not clear and the music was way too overpowering even with the dialogue setting on. It was too much of a headache to constantly turn up and down the volume. Oh and you absolutely need surround speakers for Bose 900 setup - it makes a huge difference.

Heads up most of the "top tier" JBL bars that have the detachable rears allow you to charge them via USB, so they don't need to be re-attached to the main bar. But still outclassed by alot of product here. Wish we had Vizio available to us in the domestic New Zealand market. Sweet intro btw!
