VIZIO has some really awesome plans coming up in 2010, with high definition audio products, including sound bar home theater systems and wireless headphones.

The America’s No. 1 company announced that there will be two 2-speaker soundbars and at least one with 5 channels during CES 2010 in January. The VHT200 is a 2.0 HD Home Theater Soundbar while the VHT212 2.1HD Home Theater Soundbar is similar with the only difference is the additional wireless subwoofer, a wireless iPod dock and its compatibility with the company’s wireless headphones. Both systems support Dolby Digital audio and features a new remote control.

The VHT512 5.1HD Home Theater Surround Sound System includes wireless surround speakers, wireless subwoofer, and a wireless iPod dock, similarly supporting the wireless headphones.

Meanwhile, there’s also VHP100 Wireless Home Theater Headphones that comes with an iPod dock.

According to VIZIO’s co-founder and VP Sales and Marketing Communications, Laynie Newsome, consumers find it important to have accessory components that come from the same manufacturer as their HDTV, and HD audio products are a very high priority for these customers. VIZIO taps on this market, and offers new audio products that carries the same approach as their televisions, and includes wireless connectivity for easy and seamless connections.

The company claims that the system delivers full 5.1 channel surround sound experience, and it is fully wireless. It incorporates the center, front right and left channels, and uses four 3” mid/bass speakers and two 0.75” high performance neodymium tweeters.
