    I could not be happier with the sound and the separate bass speaker. It also works easily with my Bluetooth so it is as if I have a stereo! Easy to install and totally worth more then the cost.

    Overall, this is a killer setup for the price. I use it with my xBox One & 65" Sony TV in my living room. I gave it 4 stars because I was expecting a little more customization ability with with sound. The Music preset is what we leave it on all the time for the clarity without losing the low ends, and the movie & game presets are okay too. the rest of them are not enjoyable to use. I bought the JBL 2.1 system first, and wound up returning it for this one. IMO this is the best system for under $500 I could find.

    I recently bought this soundbar for my new apartment. the sound quality is exceptional. The entire range of sound is reproduced without distortion. The basses are strident. The initial configuration was fast and intuitive. I've been using it for a month, and I have not had a single connectivity problem, both for wifi and for Bluetooth. The Chromecast built in feature is spectacular.

    I'm so happy I got this soundbar. The sound is very good for the price range. I ended up also getting two of the Sony SRS ZR5 Wireless Speakers to use as wireless surround sound speakers for my system. They linked up perfectly with this soundbar and sound really good!

    Bought the system already used from best buy. They assured me that it had no issues, or damage, and nothing was missing. It sounds amazing. Better than what I expected. You can even link your phone through Bluetooth and play music without any issues, skipping or delays. I've had this product over two months now and haven't had any issues or complaints. I know there are better systems out there, but they could be pretty expensive. If you can't afford those systems this is a great product for a cheaper price.

    The HTCT800 is a great sounding sound bar from Sony. Very good sound quality, very clear, very loud and the subwoofer is very powerful, makes my house shake. Has 3 HDMI ports to connect you’re devices, all are 4K HDR passthrough, so you’ll get the best picture quality, has built in Bluetooth, and googlecast, so it’s very easy to play music and what not from an external device. Overall a very good Soundbar with great sound quality and really great feautures, would definitely recommend if anyone wants to add some pop to their home theater, sounds great for movies and video games alike.

    I originally listened to the demo at best buy for the next model up, but could not afford it with my wife's budget she gave me. :) I went with this model, and I could not be more impressed with it. I added the two wireless sony speakers for surround and it is incredible. You need to adjust the sub, and speaker output range in the settings menu. The bass is powerful, and is very crisp. It is too loud for my living room even at low settings. Amazing sound, I read all of the reviews, good and bad before making a purchase, and I am hear to tell you, this is a great sound system for the money.

    A Great Multi Purpose Sound Bar

    After reading all of the positive reviews on this sound bar, not just on Best Buy, but across the internet, I had to experience it for myself. They weren't wrong - this thing rocks! Yes, it's a little more well suited for music than movie dialogue and the sound spacing could be better, in terms of left/right separation, but overall, for the money (compared to a Sonos or Bose at $1200+) it kicks out the bass and delivers crystal clear, powerful audio. I've not experienced any of the wireless sub connection issues others have mentioned. The one thing that is a little too complicated is setting the audio connection across different devices - making sure the audio is routed the right way, but once you get that down, you're golden.

    I bought this sound bar w/bass because as you 'll know these new slim TV's have terrible sound! It was easy to hook up because I have a Sony Bravia TV and a PS4 Pro. The HDMI ports are 4k ready which was a big deal in my decision since I'm mainly using it for 4K gaming. The bass is great! My wife is always telling me to turn it down and I no longer have to always turn the volume on the TV up during dialogue and down for action scenes. It stays the same volume the whole time. Great sound bar for the buck with beep bass tones for movies and gaming!!!

    I am a big fan of Sony products so this was a no brainer. I was debating between this model and the NT5. I chose this bar simply because of the lower price point. I am very happy with my choice. The volume and quality of sound is great. Placement is a little tricky because it blocks the IR receiver on my TV as well as sits on the TV stand itself. But because of its design, there are multiple options for mounting.

    I recently purchased the Sony 2.1 sound bar, and I am incredibly please with the sound quality. I spend a lot of time researching products, going through every review, to assist in my final decision before buying a product. Some reviews say the subwoofer is not loud enough, it is plenty loud, you can feel the thunderous base while in other rooms of the house. The subwoofer is only activated when the movie, tv show, etc. is designed to activate it. Also, factory settings are set very low, you need to go to the menu and adjust the db output of each speaker. Great sound bar! Make sure to get the sony wireless speakers for surround sound, it is well worth the money.

    I went into the store to buy another SONY sound bar but as the display was having problems. it was a sign of future problems. I was recommended by the very helpful Best Buy associate to this one, he told me it was the base model for the higher end ones, i didnt like the base model part but..... once i heard the demo he made a believer out of me it sounded awesome i was sold. and when i got it home it actually sounded even better than at the store. the setup could not get any easier, i recommend this sound bar to everyone it's definitely worth the money. Bass is as loud or as low as you want, the highs are crisp and DO NOT distort even at high volume. I love this sound bar.

    Make sure you buy the digital optical cable and you will be more than happy with this system. Sound is really awesome. We almost walked out of the store trying to find a nice soundbar + sub for our needs and budget until we heard this one at the store. Got it for $299.99 on sale, we would had not paid $499.99 honestly.
