Like the Polk Audio SurroundBar 6000, the Vizio VHT215 improves on the basic soundbar model with a wireless subwoofer, making it easy to add room-filling virtual surround sound to any HDTV — and the Vizio does it for about $150 less. The VHT215 has loads of useful features, including multiple remote-accessible audio-processing modes and a wide range of inputs, including two HDMI ports, optical audio, and 3.5 mm. The VHT215 may not be a substitute for a full surround-sound system, but it's a lot easier to set up — and a lot more affordable.

Overall this is a great product for the price and I am happy with my purchase. I installed it with an LG 47LM7600 TV in my bedroom. I didn't want to run a full surround setup in the bedroom. The inclusion of SRS TruVolume was important for me, allowing the sound bar to normalize dynamic volume...
