I'm interested in purchasing a soundbar for my tv in my bedroom. I would like to keep the cost under 200. I have no idea which ones are good or bad. I haven't looked at the black friday ads yet either. If you guys got any suggestions please let me know.

I bought a Samsung soundbar a couple of years ago and have been more than happy with it. The HW-H450 might be one to consider. I don't know if the quality is as good in more recent models, but the reviews seem positive.

I bought an Insignia SB around 2 years ago. It was 89 bucks and had optical in and sub out. Was the cheapest I could find that had optical in at the time. Sounds loads better than the TV speakers and didnt break the bank.

That Vizio soundbar linked above is a no brainier for the price. Costco.com has it for 189 on sale

Vizio soundbars are highly rated. Klipsch has a good performing one, but many don't like the aesthetics.

The Vizio set up for $198 above is a great value and one of the few that offers REAL surround sound.

Real men use sound bars for wiffle bats :)

Just kidding, that one doesn't look bad.

That may fail the aesthetics deal for many. Looks like a good setup, but at 2x the price of the Vizio may not be worth it.

I have no problem with a full HT setup in my main rooms, but looking at soundbars myself for the bedrooms here.
