Good sound, not so good with voices.
Shinji Posted
I’ve had this soundbar set for a few months now snd it wirks great with good sound, but it really struggles with voices and dialogue even when you hit the Voice button on the remote. I dug through the menus which is more than a bit tedious since there’s no TV menu and tweaked a setting or two that slightly helped with voices, but it’s still hard to hear them.

I went into Best Buy with cash, but they ended up hooking me up w a $3,000 credit card, w 0% interest APR for 24 months bc I bought this w my Sony Bravia OLED, love the system it basically set itself up just had to plug it in and pick the correct features I wanted for my viewing pleasure. Would recommend Best Buy! They had PS5’s available within an hour pickup time, when I couldn’t find them at any other store this year. I got this Sony Sound Bar and got the matching Sony Bravia TV w it, couldn’t be happier!

In our 20x16 den this bar and sub does the trick several settings to adjust to your room size. You won’t be dissatisfied with this system setup ease. Looks good and a rock solid piece of equipment. Not critical where the subwoofer is placed really sounds good. Dolby Atmos with Supported devices I use Apple TV.

Sounds encredible, looks great.
Nate Posted
I have this paired with a x750 65" Sony TV and they integrate seamlessly. The simulated surround sound is great. And it has Dolby Atmos, ready for the newest tech. I really like the "night mode" button so the sub isn't keeping everyone awake in my building. I also like that the sub is wireless.

Amazing Sound, Easy installation
veritech13 Posted
I had the HT-G700 for a week and have used it everyday and explored some of the features that benefit my setup the most. I have to say it is a very nice sounding soundbar and i love the design. Setup: The setup is very straightforward and simple, it has wireless (bluetooth-wireless thru compatible Sony Tv's) and wired (HDMI). I decided to place this soundbar/subwoofer with my computer setup as i watch a lot of movies, do a lot of gaming and enjoy videos. I also wanted to see how versatile it was without hooking it up to a TV. The set up was very quick and painless, the bluetooth option was quick to pair. It offers BT5.0 and the connection is solid and stable. I also don't experience any lag between the video and the soundbar. The touch buttons on the top of the speaker are reminiscent of sony's wireless headphones WH-1000XM3, same tactile feel. The performance is amazing, you would think overkill for a computer setup but i have (2) 34 inch monitors and the picture quality for is amazing and i wanted the matching sound quality to go with it. The sound is very versatile and with the added remote it makes it pretty simple if i don't want to fiddle with any menu options on the pc. The wireless pairing of the subwoofer makes placement very easy and since i tried to streamline the wires the wireless center speaker/subwoofer make for a very clean setup. Some of the options i use the most, hopefully it helps others decide on this awesome soundbar For gaming i love the AE-audio enhancement option because it upscales audio up to 7.1.2 and it fills the room with the sound effects- the center channel speaker is very clear and the sub provides that deep background for those tense action sequences. I use the cinema option when watching Netflix and the sound just pours out of the speakers and wraps around the whole room. The remote is much handier than you would think, the ability to quickly switch sound modes, subwoofer volume makes it quick and easy to get the sound you want when gaming or watching movies. NIGHT MODE - when the gaming-movie sessions go longer than it thought into the late hours NIGHT MODE an easy option button click away that quickly subdues the sound not to wake others in the house. The remote is simple but it has all the options you need at your fingertips. The design of the soundbar is pretty cool, it has the built-in hooks on the back for wall mount installation but i chose to install it on my PC desk. The design makes keeping it clean easy, gone are the days of cloth speaker screen getting dirty and dusty and unable to clean it. The mesh on this speaker is a wire mesh so cleaning it with a damp cloth is very easy. The subwoofer has a very sleek design, prone to smudges but you should be handling it anyway. The all black design with the wire speaker mesh also makes it easy to clean and looks great. OVERALL a very nice looking speaker that offers great sound with not a ton of sound options but it has what you need and does it extremely well. If you are looking for a wireless option with great sound that looks pretty cool then this is it...i definitely recommend it.. Hopefully i answered a few questions you might have.

Good system to spend around 300
JeremysMini2 Posted
Good sound bar and bass addition. I did get a deep discount when i bought however i would have returned this this if bought at the rather high suggested retail price. Sound is clear though and haven't heard any distortion from the sub. If your one to lose remotes a lot this system is not for you. Under 300 I'd recommend it

X900H + HT-G700H = Match made in heaven
feddewaperman Posted
I bought this to pair with my new Sony X900H and PS5, and—I’ll be honest—you’re not going to get true spatial sound, but the engineering in this soundbar is so good that it’s still pretty darn good. It’s perfect for mid-size rooms or husbands with wives who won’t let them connect speakers everywhere. Dialogue is better than on my old Sony soundbar and the the comparable Samsung bar I tested in-store. It also passes HDR10 and Dolby Vision 4K through, making it superior to the Sonos Arc on that front. Not a lot of bells and whistles, no on-screen menu but it’s a sturdy, well-crafted set it and forget solution.

The Bad then the good
JohnnyM Posted
The first item that was shipped came in 2 plastic bubble wrappings with no remote. The items were scratched and the wood on the sub was broken in pieces, i purchased excellent condition. I contacted customer support and they said they could replace it. I sent the broken item back and received the 2nd item in athe original box in excellent condition. They should have done that in the first place but they did fix it so thank you.

Excellent Soundbar and Subwoofer System
Brandi Posted
Great Sound Bar System. Is very easy to hook up to the tv and the wireless subwoofer is really fantastic as it can be put anywhere in the room. Sound is clear helps drastically with the music that is sometimes played louder than when people are speaking. Different audio selections are great as well. Two thumbs up!

I love the sound in genral, nice surround effect but sometimes I can hear a little “crack” sounds even when I have the volume level at 50% I’ll keep paying attention and if needed will update my review.

Hi UriH, While we are glad to hear that you are happy with the sound quality of your new HTG700, we are sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with the audio while playing at 50% volume. We'd love to help out troubleshoot the issue and make this a better experience for you. In the meantime, please follow these steps to troubleshoot the issue.
Unplug the Soundbar power cord and plug it back in
1. Turn off the soundbar.
2. Unplug the power cable from the wall outlet.
3. After one minute, replug the power cable back to the wall outlet.
4. Turn on the soundbar.
Verify if this resolves the issue.
- Disconnect the HDMI cable or the optical digital cable and then reconnect it
- Disconnect the cable from the soundbar and playback device and then reconnect the cable.
If the issue is resolved, the issue may have been caused by a faulty connection with the cable.
- If there is a device nearby that generates electromagnetic waves, such as a wireless LAN or a microwave oven in use, locate the system apart from it.
- If there is an obstacle between the bar speaker and the subwoofer, move or remove it.
- Do not cover the top of the bar speaker with metal objects such as TV frame, etc. Wireless functions may become unstable.
- Locate the bar speaker and the subwoofer as close as possible

Dolby Atmosish
outquick Posted
Sounds good but I needed an AudioQuest Carbon HDMI cable($100+) to get the voices clearer. But if on sale it’s worth it, Dolby Atmos is there and you can hear something moving across the room, kind of.
