So my only real gripes about this thing are familiar - same as what I had with my old Vizio sound bar. Old gripes with Vizio's sound bars remain here. This sound bar sounds pretty darn good, and I'm not going to let perfect be the enemy of the great. I know when something sounds good, and I know when something sounds bad. ( Vizio's top-shelf offering has an additional five speakers withing the the 5.2.1 frame, and a greater frequency response across the board. At $500 this is one of the less expensive Atmos setups you can get, and is the least expensive in Vizio's lineup. We do have to temper our expectations here just a tad. The not-so-good stuff Vizio Dolby Atmos Sound Bar What I Didn't Like

It's just fine as a Bluetooth target, has Google Chromecast built in - it does all the sound bar stuff that you'd expect, really. Would you notice the difference if you plopped down on my couch and watched a flick but weren't told that Atmos was a thing? I'd like to think you would.Īll that said, this also is a perfect capable non-Atmos sound bar. This remains a fairly simple Atmos setup - remember it can technically handle nearly three dozen speakers - but even so movies have a completely new depth to them. They're now above you and diagonal and all over the place. Sounds don't just come at you from the left and right, and behind you. But Atmos (if you'll excuse the cliche) truly takes things to a new level. And my $200 worth of Vizio sound bar gear has worked great. It is a feature in which you absolutely should invest, should you be the sort who at all cares about audio. But for the purposes of this "what I like" section, let us stipulate that Dolby Atmos is a thing you want. Now it does so to different degrees, depending on the audio source. This Vizio setup (no, I'm still not going to use that god-awful product designation) absolutely fills a room. (And it is quite good.) It's just not the same as multiple speakers.
But it's still just one speaker, good as it may be. My Sonos Play:5 fills a room quite nicely. "Room-filling sound" is a phrase that doesn't actually mean anything, of course. You get the ease of the Vizio experience with the magic of Dolby Atmos. The difference (in addition to just generally being newer, better and more expensive) of course comes into play with Dolby Atmos. Having had cables strung all over my living room in the past, it's a huge improvement.Īll in all it looks and acts like a Vizio sound bar setup - same as what I've had for years now. Those three units connect wirelessly (and effortlessly, I should note) to the sound bar itself. Then there are the two rear speakers, which connect (via wires) to the relatively not-huge subwoofer. In the sound bar itself there are three forward-facing speakers, and a couple that point skyward. That is there are five speakers up front, one subwoofer, and two rear speakers. This sound bar is what's called a 5.2.1 deal. The good stuff Vizio Dolby Atmos Sound Bar * What I Like* Updated buttons atop the Vizio SB36512-F6 sound bar are visible, but not obvious.
