Product Reviews

Again another well designed product with enough features at a price point that makes it very compeling piece of kit. Having it hooked up to my Sony XH9505 & Sony bluray player UBP-X800 you do get the max AV experience when playing UHD discs that streaming can't match. Also with it's bluetooth means you can beam the radio or other devices through it without the TV being on, again less clutter, no seperate speakers. A very solid and weighty component.

Best all-around small room and TV speaker! Boosts volume and sound projection, decent subwoofer. Sleek looks! Excellent value!

Works well wired, less so Bluetooth - too many RF devices in small area.

Really like the sound quality, surround sound system. Comes with a set of presets on remote which is quite handy. Sometimes, dialogues are not too clear and sometimes there is a lag in lip sync. However, I like this soundbar.

Bought this month ago, had initial problems connecting it to my older Samsung TV. But once connected with the required cables, worked reliably and wonderfully!

Had a couple of months now and am happy with the sound it plays. Haven't been able to test the Atmos yet as I currently have an older Samsung tv that does not have an eArc input. I have a new Sony 77 inch tv coming which has one and can't wait to get that hooked up to the soundbar.

Added to my Sony x90j in bedroom. Speakers surprisingly come close to surround sound. Sound has some height to it and at times sounds come in from left and right beside you. Used in a smaller space like a bedroom or office type space is probably best for this model. Bass hits quite well for being built in. I would like a few more bass level settings then just 3 though. Only issue I’ve had arise is when watching HBOmax movies that have Dolby atmos sound will blip then turn off. I have not had this issue with any other apps that I use that offer Dolby atmos though. So I’m pretty sure it’s something to do with the HBO app not the soundbar itself. Over all excellent product great for movies, video games, and regular viewing shows.

Sound wise, it has a wonderful sound and very good bass. Performance wise: I connected everything through it so I could have 1 source of sound (everything goes through an HDMI splitter because I wanted all of my devices to work through it), for the first 1.5 years, it worked flawlessly, then it started giving me crackling sounds and turn off the sound all together with all the lights flashing. The only way to fix this was to either disconnect all the cables from it or pull the power plug from it and turn it back on.

Makes the TV slower to work and the quality of sound is not much better to compensate for this.

I bought this mainly for Dolby atmos and Iam extremely impressed. I know it’s a 2019 model but it perfect .

Quite good sound reproduction. Dolby Atmos works great too!

I've had it a month......... cccvv v. Bb no. No. Mmm

So far the sound quality is good. Value for money.

Less than a month from date of purchase, now I need to send for repair. I can’t on the sound bar. I’m quite disappointed as I trusted SONY!

This Soundbar is exactly what I needed for a Toshiba C350 Fire TV. This is used in a bedroom and improves the sound of the TV dramatically. Sony hit a home run with this unit. Could not be more pleased! Currently using all default settings with a HDMI earc connection. Have not even tried any options and still very impressed with this unit.

Easy to set up, looks good, great sound. good value for money

We had the previous model for 3 years and only went into the SONY shop for a stroll and didnt intend to buy anything, but the salesman is very patient, courteous, meticulous and has answered all of our questions without being pushy on the new model. So we went back to the shop 1 month later and bought it instantly from the same salesperson! Life is never the same again when you watch your SONY TV, and we can never go back to the old and traditional sound again especially when we watch any films on Netflix or Amazon, or even watch any news. The 3-D sound effect adds another layer of listening-ability and pleasure to the ears and heart.

Sound quality was great even though it had a built-in sub-woofer. Perfect for a small apartment like mine.

Mulriple configuration options are truly best in class. Ive owned some expensive audio bars - wish I'd found this first

I bought this as a replacement for my old but larger Sony soundbar and the quality is as good if not better . Really happy!

Very impressed with Sony sound bar. Good value for money great sound.

Easy and friendly. Sound quality is good. Most function available to adjust to your hearing

Quality product. Looks good. Sound good. Great value

A good budget range intro. Into sound bar territory!!

Got it in April & a month later the device is performing flawlessly. Great sound quality especially in streaming TV platform like Netflix & Amazon Prime. Slick design & easy to setup.

Bought together with 42” tv rouse in conservatory Although excellent sound disappointing to find that 2 Sony products bought together on curry’s recommendation are not compatible via Bluetooth. Works fine from phone and tablet etc.

Disappointed.by the dialogue feature..................

Very good, would like to be able to adjust the sound. Bass is a little weak.

1 month of testing.Regret to buy this garbage...........,

Hand set only works with in a meter of the box is this normal

Im not sure if it's the sony TV 55in or the sonud bar but when i turn the tv on the sound bar comes on but does not activate on with the tv it uses the tv speakers till i manual turn speakers on with tv.

The sound is alright once you've pressed about a million buttons but the bar is really let down by some minor things. Also some sound setting seem to be useless, maybe its what we're listening to so that is open to investigation. 1. Remote layout - are all the sound mode or special affect buttons placed together.. No they're not 2. On screen display - managed to have this when you change the volume but for anything else you either use which LEDs have lit up (the ones on the left or right) or just a guess because the same LEDs indicate when turning on and off. Its like a game bit a really awful one 3. Connection - want to add to your sound bar no can do. I mean the thing is huge, surely there was room for some extra ports, or just use the existing wireless connections. This was a fair bit of money for us and the little thing really do take away from the excitement of finally getting a sound bar.

I bought this soundbar for a double sized bedroom 40" TV, and wall hung it accordingly. I always struggled to hear voice through the TV speakers and wanted something that would give clarity, a bit of base and any effects would be a bonus. This soundbar ticked these requirements with abundance. And I don't need to have it up loud either....which I am sure will be of some relief to the neighbour. In a room this size the Atmos effect works remarkably well too. Whilst I paid more than I might have meant for a bedroom amplifier, I am glad that I did and well pleased with the purchase.

really thought it sounded much better at Best Buy, and knowing bets buy it was probably another speaker system I was listening to. The control is very unresponsive and it cuts in and out. I have always tried to purchase the top brands any Sony was almost always on top the list. As with most things these days I believe they are selling their name from bygone days when they were on top. Trust me , for the money one can do much better and it the future that will be my direction, away from the name and more into research.

I bought in Dec 2020. I like the functions and overall sound of this soundbar. The soundbar is compatible with my TV remote.

Just purchased, have all Sony TV's and Audio set up. This was for the bedroom. Sound is very clear and fills the room. Super easy to set up and has some cool audio features. I love the voice feature which amplifies the speech on the movies. Great buy and value for the price point

I purchased this for my conservatory as as was sick of not being able to hear the tele when it rained. I needed a boost and this fits the bill I placed it onto of my TV and it works perfect Looks good and blends in

I used to have a wired surround sound with a sub woofer, but my wife didn't like the wires so we went for the all in one. The surround sound is really deceptive, sometimes I hear sounds and wonder where they come from. It sounds like the other room, but its coming from the soundbar straight in front of you.The only problem is the led display on the top, you can't see it, it should be on the front.

Two weeks into use very happy with product sound great

Great sound coming from box in my apartment ,sport sounds good because I have dolby plus UHD

Bought to replace old sounder with separate subwoofer. This sound bar is very neat and looks great under the tv. The sound is very good especially on cinema mode

Just bought this today and I'm so happy with it ,, the sounds are fantastic.

Bought it last week and works very well. Was very easy to set up and connect to TV.

I bought this just before Christmas along with a Sony Bravia android smart TV. Has great sound and features and goes very well with the TV.

Will not connect to a Sony Bravia with ARC HDMI, only the optical cable, been through all soundbar and TV instructions and Sony on line help and still no joy. If I am doing something wrong then why do all the instructions and help line not put me right? I would have expected Sony to be a click and play when talking to other Sony products

I bought this 2 months ago and the atmos function works very intermittently , contacted sony support pretty unhelpful , just send out pages of user manual which don't resolve issue, they then ask you to contact one their support agents , nearest one to me is 60 miles away and also expect you to pay postage costs in my case £30.00 , will never buy sony again , very poor value for the money paid

Very good sound bar, but I’ve had issues with the sound disconnecting.
