Product Reviews

Bought this for a fairly recent Sony Bravia TV. I should've checked the connections required, but then again, Sony should clearly specify what you need. Your TV needs to have either HDMI-AC (or HDMI-IEEC + optical out), not just HDMI. If you have only HDMI, you can't connect this directly to your TV (only indirectly via another up to date box or sound system). It's all to do with decoding Atmos or Dolby sound recording on films/series etc , and it's way beyond anything I was prepared for. If your TV has optical out, you might be ok (an optical cable is supplied, but note: you will also need an HDMI cable - NOT supplied - why not, Sony?). I gave up & returned the unit. It might be great for all I know!!

short and simple -> worth of money got it at an offer and this is my 2nd unit, guess that explains every things ya?

HT SF 160 soundbar is brilliant sound and bass I know its not dolby atmos or 5.1 , is only stereo better then tv sound

Failed after a year. Sony refuses to support it. Horrible service

I bought this sound bar 2 weeks ago and it’s amazing

Top value. A very decent sound at the price point

I bought this to work with a 75" LG TV which had terrible built-in speakers, and the Sony soundbar works great! Install was easy and no issues, and really helps out with the sound via the TV. I also use it for Blue Tooth audio via my phone, and once again, no issues and delivers good audio. For the price, I couldn't be happier.

Does all I need it to do—great product —easily paired with Snoy Bravia TV

Used with my rewards for $40 off. I was able to set this up without extra support or other help. The sound is good enough for me, better than built in TV speakers, not as good as a major home system.

Been using it for a month. Satisfied with performance & strongly recommend it

Sound quality is poor especially human voice. Bass is also very poor.

Have been using it for 4 months. mmmm and still not 100% happy. 50% of the time the sound from the sound bar doesn’t always sync with the tv. Turning the tv and sound bar off and on again usually fixes the problem, but it happens many times when the tv/ soundbar don’t sync. Disappointing TV, Soundbar, HDMI all Sony?

Sound is good…..but Sound doesn’t always sync, turning it on and off again works, but sometimes it needs doing a few times!

Works good so far. Seems to be all that I expected to be

This soundbar can only be used for normal tv sound output. No bass and no option for EQ.

Bought this a little over 2 months ago. I don't watch tv that often though but lately it is not making any sound. I can mute the TV but none of the buttons on the bar's remote will do anything or increase the volume. Very poor instructions to operate. I'm connected via the optical digital cable provided.

Sound Bar definitely helps me better hear the spoken dialog on my Sony TV. However the optical cable provided with the sound bar is very very difficult to fit into the Sound Bar. It took me forever. The input jack is in a very bad location. Please relocate the input jack!!

So happy with this soundbar. Fits perfectly between the wide leg settings on my Bravia. Compact size is more powerful that the size would suggest. Great sound quality.
