Recently I found a good deal on Vizio Soundbar 2.1 (M Series) which comes with a 5-inch wireless sub woofer. I bought it for $99 which is a great bargain price. It’s from Walmart and was delivered to me within 2 business days. My guess was it doesn’t go wrong for a $99 price tag. Originally this model was released for $299 and over the span it got discounted to $100-$150.
The specific model that I bought is VIZIO M-Series 2.1 Premium Sound Bar with Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Wireless Subwoofer M215a-J6.

Some of the Negatives in Vizio Soundbar
- If you have an old TV that doesn’t support ARC or eARC ports, you may not be able to enjoy the rich dolby atmos sound.
- This is not very loud in a big room so if you’re living space is larger, this may not be a best soundbar. It’s best suited for smaller living spaces like apartments or basements.
- You have to tweak the settings a little bit to get a better sound.
- There is no equalizer option with this Vizio soundbar.
- Sub Woofer looks like a cheaper build.
Final Thoughts on Vizio Soundbar
For this price, Vizio Soundbar M215a-J6 does a great justice and an excellent buy for budget shoppers. If you don’t own a sound bar, try this one and you’ll have a great audio experience. It actually blown my old Samsung sound bar out of water in terms of audio quality.
