Seems to be a normal sale price. $199 and I would bite.
I believe you may be confusing this soundbar with the M51 which is a cheaper unit. This model normally sells for $500 & usually goes on sale for $400.

According to CCC, this is a good price. It's gotten down to $300 on Black Friday on Amazon last year though.

I did a search on M512a-H6 and saw many previous posts showing it being sold for $349. So no, I don't think I was confusing it with a different model.

A lot of places tend to have sales on items at the same time.
Amazon has it on sale for $349 also; though it does show regular price as $499.

There is a cheaper Vizio soundbar with a similar name that sells for under $300 regular price.

this one has actual upfiring speakers. The one you linked is good but it's 'virtual' ATMOS.

I would only use these particular sound bars in a bedroom. They would struggle big time in larger rooms.

I have the M51a-H6 from Costco which I got last Black Friday for $180 or so. It has been great, there have been bugs, but firmware updates (need to download and install via USB drive) have made it much better, I think. The sound is amazing for the price and for the size in a medium sized room.

This M512a-H6 has the same capabilities, but includes two up firing speakers. I would expect it to sound just as good, but have better height sound if you have relatively low and flat ceilings for the sound to bounce off.

The M51ax-J6 someone linked from Walmart is the updated model that I have, but looks the same and has the same capabilities.

All can support Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, have HDMI eARC that will send uncompressed audio via compatible eARC TVs.

All three also use the same firmware, found here:

No up firing Atmos speakers on the J6 Sound bar. Smaller overall dimension length and width as well. There could also be the previous years version of the M51A-J6 available which is the H6. STAY AWAY! A large percentage of those units have power supply failures. Ask me how I know.
