Pros:

Powerful audio output with impressive bass depth for the price, Adjustable EQ, Easy to operate, Streams Bluetooth audio
The Vizio SB362An-F6 offers a high level of sound quality for very little money. The inclusion of Dolby, DTS and Virtual:X sound modes means the sound bar has a high level of soundtrack compatibility

Cons:

No HDMI ports, Can distort on tracks with powerful sub-bass at top volumes
Paying more for the Vizio SB3621 with an external subwoofer will bring enhanced performance. The LED display is a little hard to grok
