Bose Solo 5 vs Vizio M-Series M512a-H6

Verdict

The Bose Solo 5 TV Sound System is a great choice for those looking for an entry-level soundbar with included subwoofer. It has good sound quality and gets loud without distorting. However, it does not have an HDMI connector, which may be a dealbreaker for some users.

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.
