Vizio's affordable new soundbar trades excitement for simplicity

It should come as no surprise that Vizio infused the AIO with stellar sound for a reasonable price. From the V Series 2.1 to the company's impressive Dolby Atmos bars like the SB36512-F6, Vizio has built quite a reputation for packing its audio products with exceptional sound without reflecting it in the bars' retail price. With a six-driver array, simplistic equalizer options, and capable DTS Virtual:X, the AIO is well-equipped in the sound department among products in its price range. As inevitably tends to be the case, however, the savings come at a cost. The dual "subwoofers" built into the bar may be convincing for casual music listening, but are exposed when movies and TV shows demand more of them.
