The expanding array of VIZIO wireless audio devices utilizing Wireless HD Audio technology enables consumers to enjoy audio from almost anywhere in the home. For example, using the Wireless Home Theater Headphones, users can watch movies with full surround sound, without disturbing neighbors or others in the home, or enjoy their tunes from another room with proper set up. With Wireless HD Audio built-in to the Soundbar, the wireless subwoofer can be placed anywhere in the home theater up to 60 feet away, under optimal conditions, from the Soundbar without running wires across the living room.
"More and more consumers are buying Soundbars instead of typical home theater systems to use with their flat panel TVs," said John Schindler, VP Product Planning. "For the first time, consumers can now enjoy true 5.1 channel audio performance in a flat panel friendly Soundbar with multi-point wireless audio technology."
VHT210 Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer
With a sleek design perfectly matched for smaller-sized flat panel TVs, this 32" Soundbar also connects wirelessly to its subwoofer, with a range of up to 60 feet, and also works with other VIZIO Wireless HD Audio products. Exceptional audio performance is produced by the Soundbar with dual 2.75" drivers and .75" tweeters that deliver left right and center channels, all enhanced with SRS Studio Sound HD™ for an immersive surround sound experience and SRS TruVolume™ technology that eliminates sharp jumps in volume with channel and program changes.
With easy-to-configure table-standing or wall-mounting options and audio inputs including digital audio optical (S/PIDIF) and analog stereo (RCA), the VHT210 is an easy fit and a great performer in any home theater. The VHT210 will be available in Q3 at an MSRP of $299.99.
VHT510 Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer and Surround Speakers
For the ultimate home theater surround sound experience, the 40" VHT510 Soundbar is ideal for HDTVs that are 40" or larger and also includes a wireless subwoofer and rear surround speakers that utilize Wireless HD Audio technology. This premium surround sound system supports Dolby Digital®, DTS, SRS CircleCinema HD(TM) and SRS TruVolume(TM) for a truly immersive audio experience.
In addition to a digital S/PDIF input, two analog stereo RCA inputs are provided. A remote control selects inputs, playback formats and volume. The VHT510 will be available in Q3 at an MSRP of $399.99.
VHP100 Wireless Home Theater Headphones
With a comfortable over-the-ear design and high-definition audio through high performance 40mm drivers, VIZIO's Wireless Home Theater Headphones let you crank up the sound for a fully immersive audio experience.

Active noise cancellation provides maximum audio enjoyment in environments with high ambient sound levels, such as on airplanes or automobiles using the built-in 3.5mm audio jack. The rechargeable headphones fuel up by simply placing them on the base station, and features automatic power-saving mode to extend battery life.
