Digital Home Thoughts: Vizio Wants to Break Free From the Wired World

"Going without wires seem to be the in thing these days, and we will take a look at the VHT210 32" Home Theater Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer and the VHT510 40" Home Theater Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer today. Don't be fooled by their respective slim and slender form factors - they are more than capable of delivering big home theater sound with advanced surround sound technology. "

The audiophile in you is probably screaming that wireless technology will never be able to replicate the full sound that comes from a wired connection. That part of you is probably right. However, wireless audio has come a really long way and is probably good enough for most people. Of course, until science provides us with the ultimate in wireless power technology, these speakers will not be completely wireless, but the fewer cables the better! Soundbars definitely seem to be the hot trend for speaker set ups these days, but I seriously question whether or not they accurately reproduce the tone and quality of thousands of vuvuzelas at a World Cup game.
