Bass is non-existent

I purchased this about 2 or 3 years ago. I was disappointed with the subwoofer since the subwoofer was very weak. I rarely heard the bass and my experience fell short of friends' systems. I replaced this system with a Sony HT-ST5000.

Very Disappointing

I bought the soundbar, Sony Bravia, and Sony speakers less than 2 years ago. One would think they should work together seamlessly. Not so! The soundbar disconnects each time the TV is turned off. The only way to connect is to reset by unplugging the soundbar and reconnecting through settings menu. I have contacted Sony Tech Support multiple times and tried all their suggestions without resolution. I called the Best Buy Geek Squad to fix it and they were unable to do so. The Geek Squad Tech said he owed the same system with the same issue. Sony forums show owners of this model experienced the same issue dating back to 2016. No solution was mentioned. Since the soundbar has only a 1 year warranty, Sony said to take it to an authorized repair facility. It's extremely frustrating to own an expensive soundbar that doesn't even last 2 years! I haven't used it much. Maybe once a day to watch TV. I cannot recommend buying this soundbar.

This sound bar is JUNK!

Purchased with a complete Sony 4K TV system. TV is good, sound bar and subwoofer are junk. Sub woofer can never stay connected to sound bar. Have to turn up the sound over 50% just to hear in a normal quiet room. Again, JUNK!

Great sound

I loved this soundbar , i had it hooked up with my Sony 65 Bravia 930 the sound was great. until it gave out on me after 2 years . The sub woofer started having trouble staying connected to my tv. so i used my geek squad insurance and exchange it for the Sony Z9f soundbar .

Great sounder, stopped working & fixed!

My unit STOPPED to work after just few short months. Did some research after being tired of seeing this nice system sitting in my living room and I found that the MOTHERBOARD (A-2122-677-A) is a common problem for these units. Replaced the motherboard and NOW WORKS perfect!

Fantastic soundbar

Sony HT Nt5 is definitely one of best soundbars out there. You just need to tweak it to your specifications. Very clear dialogue and bass is perfect. Anyone who say that there is no bass should go to laryngolog. Very happy with it highly recommended

Solid hardware but plagued by software issues

I've owned this soundbar for about six months now and have gotten used to its pros and cons. The pros are the physical construction. It's built well, feels like a premium product, and looks great next to my TV.

Sony HT-NT5

Sound quality is about the only good thing about this product. The bluetooth is not easy to pair with any device, nor can you control the volume from your device. To add to the struggle, the display stopped working! I would return this item if I were able to...

I bought this unit on sale and was not disappointed. The set up was effortless. The soundbar found the sub automatically and that was it. Easy to use and great sound in any mode.

Worked great, until it didn't

Worked amazingly for about 8 months but then started having major issues (really long start time, couldn't switch inputs, wouldn't power down). Unfortunately I'm beyond 1 yr warranty

Wonderful product

I replaced my other Sony soundbar thinking of a Samsung top of the line soundbar, but when I try both in the store I realize I have to go for another Sony. I’m glad I did, very happy with my purchase it’s everything I expect from Sony

Awesome sound and features!!!

It's been 7 months that I own this soundbar, I am not a fan of writing product reviews but this product deserves a recommendation. yes, you have to learn how to install it, if you do, you can fully use it and take advantage of all the features that come with it. And after that you will undoubtedly enjoy every part of it!!

Garbage

Model HTNT5. Lip sync is not working correctly and the sounds turns off all by itself. Bought in March 2017 and by October 2017 the main board had to be replaced. Now it is doing it again May 2018. Customer support wants me to call them back with case number when I am in front of the spreakers to trouble shoot them. I doubt this is going to work.

Static and not synced with lips

I bought the system with wireless speakers 2 months ago, and immediately the sound started dropping and all I would get is static and the lips not in sync. I have to continuously change the channels to get the sound to come back and for the lips to sync up, it last 20 mintues or so then the static and starts again. I have gotten so frustrated that I just pretty much stopped watching tv in that room. My wife has been on me for the last 2 months to fix it. I have tried many times to fix the issue. The manual and internet have been no help. Will not buy again!
