The Vizio VSB200 soundbar speaker system?offers amplified stereo sound for an HDTV in a small living room or den at a budget price of just $149.99. The VSB200 is a two-channel, stereo soundbar that lacks a companion subwoofer. It measures 3.7 by 39.6 by 4.3 inches (HWD); the included stand raises the height by roughly one inch.
Like all soundbars, the VSB200 won't deliver audiophile-quality performance, as they lack the stereo separation, higher-quality drivers, and larger cabinets necessary for proper imaging and resolution. That said, the better soundbars do a convincing job of making audio sound bigger and bolder, with more bass rumble, than you'd get from built-in TV speakers?much like how an iPod speaker dock works, except for home theater sound instead of just music.
We haven't tested the Vizio VSB200. We did test the comparably priced Insignia NS-BAR-A Home Theater Soundbar ($199.99), which didn't quite measure up to expectations: while it did reach impressive decibel levels for a budget soundbar, its audio quality didn't measure up even against its peers, and the bass seemed to disappear as we increased the volume.
