Q: QuestionDoes this TV need a soundbar?

Asked 3 weeks ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Hi there, Thanks for your interest in our television. We can certainly help you with that! The K-65XR80M2 is a fantastic TV and actually comes with a pretty solid built-in audio system that even supports Dolby Atmos. So, the short answer is no, you absolutely don't need a soundbar for a good viewing experience. It sounds great right out of the box! However, if you're an audio enthusiast or you're setting up a dedicated home cinema and really want that extra layer of richness, deep bass and truly immersive surround sound, adding a dedicated Sony soundbar would definitely take your audio to the next level. For that top-tier upgrade, we have two excellent options that are designed to perfectly complement your TV: the BRAVIA Theater Bar 8 (HT-A8000) and the BRAVIA Theater Bar 9 (HT-A9000). We hope this helps! Thank you for making Sony part of your purchasing consideration! Best regards, Estefany

Q: QuestionI will have a large window near this Sony 65” Class Bravia 8 II OLED TV - will the colors be muted due to the reflection off this TV’s screen? Does this TV’s screen have some form of anti-reflection glass/screen to prevent reflection and glare?

Asked 1 month ago by Timbecausetimistooshort.

• A:Answer Thank you for contacting Sony, Tim. The BRAVIA 8 II OLED excels at preserving color and contrast in bright rooms due to its self-illuminating pixels. You won't see colors muted; the high-quality panel ensures vibrant picture detail. Regarding reflection, the screen material helps absorb ambient light to an extent, but this model does not include a full, specialized Anti-Reflection coating designed to combat harsh glare. For the best possible performance against direct light and reflections, the BRAVIA 9 Mini LED series features our flagship Anti-Reflection screen and would be our top recommendation for a room with a large, nearby window. We appreciate your interest in Sony products.

Q: QuestionDoes the 65" Sony Bravia 8II OLED have an adjustable stand to sit on a 30" in width console table?

Asked 1 month ago by Avs.

• A:Answer We love our Sony Bravia 8II OLED; however, we did not need to purchase a center stand that the salesperson said would come with the TV, but it doesn't. It is sold separately, so we bought the center stand separately, so it would fit our console.

Q: QuestionIs the Sony 65” Class Bravia 8 II OLED model recommended for a very bright room (or, what specific model would be the best recommendation for a very bright room)?

Asked 1 month ago by Timbecausetimistooshort.

• A:Answer Thank you for contacting Sony, Tim. For a very bright room, the Sony 65" Class Bravia 8 II OLED is a good choice, but not the best. The Bravia 8 II (OLED) is much brighter than older OLEDs and has great reflection handling, making it a viable option. The best recommendation for maximum brightness is typically a high-end Mini-LED (LCD) TV, such as the Sony Bravia 9 QLED. This model can achieve significantly higher sustained brightness to overpower intense daylight. We appreciate your interest in Sony products.

Q: Questioncan the tv speakers be connected as a center channel in a 7.1 set-up?

Asked 2 months ago by touviere.

• A:Answer Hi touviere, Yes, the BRAVIA 8 II TV has a feature called Acoustic Center Sync that allows the TV's speakers to be used as the center channel in a 7.1 surround sound setup. This works by connecting the TV to a compatible Sony soundbar or AV receiver. This makes dialogue and sound effects appear to be coming directly from the screen, providing a more immersive experience. Thanks for choosing Sony. Best regards, Eliab

Q: QuestionWhat are the major differences between the sony a95l and the sony bravia 8 2

Asked 2 months ago by Byron.

• A:Answer Hi Sheriff! Thanks for reaching out with your question. We're happy to help clear this up. The main thing to know is that the BRAVIA 8 II is actually the successor to the A95L. Think of it as the newer, updated version. They're both top-of-the-line QD-OLED TVs, which means you're getting the best of both worlds: the perfect blacks and incredible contrast of an OLED, with the vibrant, pure colors and brightness of a QLED. If you're looking for the absolute latest and greatest in terms of picture technology and you're buying a 55- or 65-inch TV, the BRAVIA 8 II is the one to go for. However, the A95L is still an incredible television, and since it's an older model, you might find some really great deals on it. You truly can't go wrong with either one, it just comes down to what's most important to you and your budget. We hope this helps. Thanks for considering Sony products! Best regards, Estefany

Q: QuestionMy husband watches TV while I sleep. He needs a headphone. Is there a headphone jack or is it compatible with wireless headphones?

Asked 2 weeks ago by NS.

• A:Answer Hi NS! Thanks for reaching out. The Sony K-65XR80M2 TV doesn’t have a headphone jack, but no worries, it works great with wireless headphones via Bluetooth. You can easily pair popular Sony models like the WH-1000XM4 or WH-1000XM5, and many other Bluetooth headphones should work too, as long as they support the standard Bluetooth audio profile (A2DP). So your husband can enjoy his shows without disturbing your sleep!
