Sony - BRAVIA Theater Bar 6, 3.1.2ch subwoofer, Dolby Atmos/DTS:X compatible - Black

Great sound bar system for a medium sized living room space. At times you can feel the rumbling bass as if you were in the movie theater with the subwoofer. You just have to mess with the settings on the small remote that it comes with to get it to the right sound. Overall Sony did well with the Sony Bravia Theatre Bar 6. Literally the only reason that I bought it was so that I can feel like I’m at the movies at home.

I purchased the Sony BRAVIA Theater Bar 6 expecting a solid home theater experience, but it has been a bit mixed. The sound quality is decent, and it works fine for everyday TV watching and casual movies, but it’s not especially impressive if you’re looking for rich, powerful, or highly immersive audio. One of the biggest downsides is the connectivity and app experience—the system tends to disconnect, and reconnecting it can be frustrating and more difficult than it should be. I was also disappointed with the Dolby Atmos performance, which doesn’t seem to work well, especially in a room with a high ceiling, where the height effects are barely noticeable. Overall, it’s usable, but for the price, I expected more reliability and a better Atmos experience.

I absolutely love the Sony BRAVIA Theater Bar 6 with the subwoofer. It completely changed the way I watch movies and made everything feel so much more magical. The sound is rich, immersive, and honestly makes it feel like you’re sitting in a movie theater at home. The bass adds the perfect touch, the dialogue is super clear, and every movie night now feels extra cozy and special. I’m obsessed with this setup and would totally recommend it to anyone who loves a cinematic experience at home I’m

This is a good soundbar hampered by very poor software on the app and the unit itself. For context I’m using this with a Sony A80K OLED, so theoretically there should be no issues. It should just work right? But it doesn’t. First, the app keeps resetting the volume levels and other settings of the soundbar. Volume cranked all the way up, sub turned way down or all the way up, sometimes not connected at all. At first I thought it was just the app, but no, not so fast. Set it up with the app (and this is not optional) and then maybe just delete the app? Same things happen. Numerous resets of both app and soundbar have had zero effect. When it’s functioning properly it’s great. Big soundstage and voices are well placed and have proper tone if the sub is set to “0” which is its neutral setting. Right in the middle. Set the volume level settings for the sub in the main tab of the app and dial in the level further in the sound settings tab of the main settings menu. I prefer that at 0 too with a slight lift in the height channels. All these make the bar sound far above its modest sale price of $450. But what good is it if the soundbar can’t retain these settings consistently and resets them all at random. Basically anytime the bar gets powered off or is left to sit for a period of time then new content is played. Also for the record I’m using quality HDMI 2.1 cables from Audioquest and have all settings on the TV correct except for Bravia Sync because that’s one more feature that doesn’t work. The volume jumps in 3 level increments up and down and is extremely slow to respond. So yea, big potential but half baked product with unreliable software in the app and the bar itself. I’m past the return window so I’ll be calling Geek Squad about this and hopefully they’ll replace it or give me store credit since I got the 4 year extended warranty.
