Excellent Soundbar

i bought this to replace another aging soundbar, and buy sony to go with my sony tv. . the contents were packed well and connection was a breeze. my existing sony remote was already compatible with the soundbar remote with the exception of programming the soundfield and subwoofer loudness. on screen programming was self explanatory.

excellent features

For what I am using it for...a master bedroom where occasionally I watch tv n movies....the sound is awesome...n not cluttersome...blends in great

Great sound

This is a perfect speaker or sound bar for household usage not for home theater room. The subwoofer is deepbase and elevates the sound quality of a movie or show you are watching. I keep it on always.Even now i started liking rymes played on youtube for my kids lol

But this soundbar lacks in few areas..
1. Most important: You have manually switch between HDMI inputs if they are connected tp soundbar. So i connected them with my sony tv. On tv hdmi’s are on call, means you press button of apple tv it switches from cable to apple tv automatically 
2. It doesn’t stop or pause other hdmi input if connected directly to sound bar when you switch causing more data usage or your any app on appletv or crome or amazon will keep playing if you switch to cable or whatever other hdmi. Where as sony tv sends a pause input to apple tv if connected to tv

Also you need to keep the remote of soundbar handy if hdmi’s are connected to soundbar.. thats a pain

3. Touch sound button on sound bar are not backlit

4. Last but not least the soundbar doesn’t connect to sony remote app, where as my sony tv does so i keep the tv remote in drawer. This should be standard feature.. i will say poor software architecture 

5. No switching of HDMI by tv remote so i connected all devices to TV and use sound input via ARC

Great Sound and base but..

Bought with a new Sony 4K TV , the sound enhances a great picture .

I coupled this with my XBR55X900E and enjoyed it for the first year. Great sound, really elevated the film and gaming experience, and never failed to instigate a greater immersion with guest viewers. Then I was out of town for six months and it wasn't used, upon return it no longer moves past "please wait", and has only functioned properly once in the past two months. A real shame as a year isn't enough to make this a worthwhile purchase, albeit providing the promised service. I upgraded the software, one of the three or four times it evolved passed the "please wait" opener.

Great when it works

I have had this soundbar for a year or more. The sub woofer has to be reconnected almost every time you turn on the TV. It is supposed to come on without you having to reach behind it and link it with the soundbar. Not very happy with this soundbar.

Not the Best soundbar...

I bought this Aug 3rd 2018 and it was exactly what I've been looking for. Price fit in my budget and the device is upgradable (wireless surround speakers), and I'm really looking forward to getting those, but without them

Best bang for the buck

I've had this soundbar for about a year. The only problem I have with it is the fact that it drops the signal to my Samsung TV. So I have to continuously turn my TV off and on until it syncs which can be up to at least three times. It takes at least 30 seconds for the soundbar to officially turn off before I can try turn the TV back on.Maybe it's because my TV isn't a Sony product, not sure.

Very good quality soundbar

Sounds awesome and it’s better then the newer model.

Best sound for the money

I purchased this soundbar in October 2016 along with a Sony 49" XBR800 TV. Very easy to set up and the sound it amazing. Does a great job of simulating a traditional 5.1 surround sound system. Bluetooth connection is simple and the range is at least 25 feet. I can't give the subwoofer enough compliments. The bass is wonderful and takes me back to my younger days when I had a trunk full of subwoofers. I often experience buyer's remorse, but I am still very happy with this purchase.

Audio Perfection

Hi I just opened the box two days ago, and still working on. I had previous Sony products and was please with quality and easy to set it up. My skill with electronics is pretty good so not issues in it! 

This product is some how no easy to tune in, couldn’t set it using hdmi cable included on the box had to buy a digital optical cable, now the issue is Im unable to sync the subwoofer, already went through the service manual try it all, but the sound bar doesn’t respond as service manual describe so trying on my thrird day! Will keep posted!

Still work on it!

The 'opened box' Sony soundbar was bought less than a year ago and after having connection problems with my LG TV, Sony offered to buy the sound bar back. However, after Sony realized the box was a previously opened box by a consumer before me, the warranty is no longer valid. I get that but it's certainly harmful to not know that after my purchase of this Sony device. The issue cannot be resolved since it was an opened box and the warranty is now invalid. I now have a paper weight that looks like sound bar.

Soundbar does not work with LG TV's

Died on me about 4 months in. Countless others as well. Just check out the sony community page for this.

Died on me about 4 months in

Bought this just over a year ago. Had to send it in to be replaced once and then sent in again to get repaired. Now once again the sound doesn't work. Also Bluetooth usually disconnects from the unit within a few minutes.

Horrible

Used with Sony Bravia TV and really pleased with depth & quality of sound

Excellent sound

I bought this product a week ago, easy to set up and compatible with my Sony tv , so far so good!

great sound

All SONY products are without doubt well made and of the best quality. This soundbar purports to offer 330 watts of power using its two speakers. The quality is ok but not really exceptional. It's just a typical soundbar and an overpriced one at that. Bass is reasonable although almost non existent on most terrestrial TV broadcasts. I don't believe this to be the fault of the broadcaster. The sound level is typical 0 - 100 although to get any decent sound on films it needs to be set to well above 75.

REASONABLE

excellent sound , not too many wires , good app , no complains

Best one

This is a great bit of kit, good volume and tone. It is easy to set up and use. Also for a "price"it can be expanded with aditional satalight speakers.

Nicely designed

I bought this product along with my Sony TV. Very easy to install, with great sound.

GREAT PRODUCT

I bought this unit in March of 2017. In October it just started changes channels on its own. I have tried to contact support but webpage keeps saying internal error and will not connect.

Problems

it doesn't do what it says.. no bass and I'm not returning it

very mild bass from the sub

bought this just last week to go with my new Sony Bravia 4k TV. I really like the look and sound - still have to get my head around all the features, disappointingly I do not seem to be able to get the soundbar connected via HDMI - cannot get sound to come out no matter which port(s) I use. so have connected via optical. not sure if this is affecting the sound quality

nice sound

This product keep breaking down you can do a simple search on how manny people they stoped having access to the home screen. I had my unit replaced after the second breakdown and now that one broken down and my 1 year warranty have just ended and Sony requesting that I pay for everything.

Buyer be aware

I bought this one month ago and it has a good sound

Good sound bar

Awesome awesome terrific soundbar. I’ve had a array of soundbars but this one truly blows them all away. Night setting is terrific and voice clear just as good.For me this is really really great couldn’t be happier. I had concerns if it would work with my other brand tv but those doubts were quickly smashed as I had no problem .The low profile of the bar is terrific it allows just enough of my TVs IR to be seen by cable remote so everything turns on with one button click.Home network for music with song pal terrific .

It really is wall rumbling 4K sound

This is the best sounding sound bar I have bought yet. It is loud and gives a good punch. Only downfall is the main menu is slow and clunky. It can also be slow to switch inputs ot turning on or off. I have already had to send it in to be fixed as the motherboard got fried.

Awesome sound!

Not the easiests to link to a SONY 65" 4K TV. Sounds like a echo chamber. Difficult to troubleshoot. Frustrated

ECHO CHAMBER STRAIGHT OUT OF THE BOX

I got this as a gift and loved it! The subwoofer sounded so good with movies and the bar itself was very sleek. However, after 24 days I tried to turn it on and no sound would come out! I spoke with a Sony rep and was walked through many steps to get it to work again. In the end, the rep told me to mail it to their shop for warranty repair. . Apparently, it just "locked up". Fortunately, the store allowed me to exchange it. I was back in business!. . .for another 20 days. I am now scheduling another trip to the store to exchange this soundbar once again. .BUY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY! I'm very disappointed with this system!
