Which is better for a small TV in a bedroom?

The Cowin. It costs less, has a subwoofer for low-end at low volume, and its 17-inch bar fits tight spaces. Just set the TV to PCM stereo and turn off Dolby/DTS.

Does the Vipqv work with a TV that has no optical port?

Yes, if the TV has HDMI. The Vipqv lists HDMI input, while the Cowin relies on ARC or optical. Check that your TV's HDMI port is labeled ARC before buying the Cowin.

Is the Cowin worth it despite the 3.9 rating?

At $39.99 it is the safer buy of the two because you can read 1,904 ratings and buy from 3 stores. Most complaints trace to TV audio settings, so expect to spend time in the TV menu.

The Cowin on paper: 60W dedicated subwoofer out of 120W total. The Vipqv claims dual subwoofers at 80W max, but no frequency response is published, so the claim is hard to verify.

Neither has a published warranty or reliability record here. The Cowin has a larger buyer base, so failures would show up in its ratings; the Vipqv has too little feedback to judge.

Can I mount either on the wall?

The Vipqv is sold as a wall-mount style with a detachable design, so it is the easier fit. The Cowin is a 17-inch bar and would need a separate bracket.
