Vizio VSB210WS review: Vizio VSB210WS

Vizio VSB210WS

Stereo sound bar speaker with 2.4GHz wireless subwoofer; easy setup; gloss black finish; includes remote; eliminates the need to buy an AV receiver.

Has trouble emulating true surround sound; skimps on video connectivity options; frustrating LED indicator system; some remote control limitations.

The VSB210WS, Vizio's very first sound bar system, delivers reasonably full-bodied sound for a very affordable price.

Vizio VSB210WS Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer Reviewed

You have to be impressed with the look of this Vizio soundbar with its polished ends and sexy looking hardware. Add in a wireless (there is an AC power plug) subwoofer and you start to see why Vizio is also eating up market share in the soundbar...

There's only so much criticism you can give a $349 sound bar withoutsounding like a bully. So let me say this: I like the Vizio VSB210WS,however there are a few items I would love to see addressed, perhapsfor future incarnations. For starters, I kind...

Despite the current economic situation our need for entertainmentcontinues to grow, though our ability to pay for costlyentertainment-driven expenses and/or luxury goods, like a dedicatedhome theater, is dwindling. What's a person to do?

Excellent for the money

Sound is crystal clear, a very fine product. Installation is very simple. Although they forgot to send me a remote.. Bust rest assured, Vizio directly replaced it at no cost to me, after 5-7 business days.
