Why I Recommend It
The Vizio Elevate SE SL512X-08 is the 2024 refresh of the outgoing m06 model and it gets a number of welcome upgrades. It offers an immersive 5.1.2-channel audio experience with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support, delivering a cinematic soundstage. Its unique rotating height speakers enhance the vertical dimension of audio, providing a more dynamic listening experience. The compact design ensures it fits seamlessly into various room sizes without occupying excessive space.
While it lacks certain features like HDMI input, remote control, and wireless streaming capabilities, the Elevate SE compensates with its high-quality audio performance and affordability. It’s an excellent choice for those seeking a budget-friendly entry into immersive surround sound systems without compromising on audio quality.
While the price is low Vizio have made it that way without cutting corners in the most important area, the sound. You might not get all the high-end smart features like on the more expensive soundbars on our list, but if you want bang for buck and sound is your priority, this is well worth your attention. Also, be on the lookout for discounts as we regularly see this come up with something off the already good RRP.
