    First soundbar I've ever owned and I must say, I am impressed.No high mounted speakers or ones behind you. Only thing is that the sound is so good that you don't realize how loud you have it!

      Hi urloozn, we're glad you like our product. The 2.1 channel Dolby Atmos/DTS:X soundbar with Vertical Sound Engine, our latest surround technology, lets you enjoy the thrill of Dolby Atmos from a single slim unit. No matter what type of room you’re in, two front speakers reproduce “vertical” audio, creating virtual surround sound that seems to come from all around you. Thank you for choosing SONY. ~Earl Sony_US

    Sounds good, some issues

    The sound is a major upgrade over standard TV speakers. There are however, some issues. I have a Roku streaming stick plus which allows Dolby Atmos on certain apps. For the sound bar to play Dolby Atmos, the source must be plugged directly into the bar and not passed through the ARC channel on the TV. The problem is that when the Roku is plugged directly into the bar I get HDCP errors, occasional sound cutouts and occasional black screen. When you do get an Atmos signal playing through the bar there is no indicator on the bar or the screen to let you know you are getting Atmos sound, but you can hear the difference. Roku and Sony customer support have been useless. So I am stuck going through the ARC channel - no ATMOS- and even worse- using the ARC channel there is no indication on the screen or the bar itself as to what sound mode I'm in (vertical surround on/off, cinema mode, auto mode etc.) When I did hear the Atmos signal it was really very good, but not worth the other problems that come with it.

    I had to shop a new way and go curbside for this sound bar. I own another Sony sound bar that is great and has WiFi capabilities, so I felt confident in buying another. The sound was flat for music and movies were a little bit better. I ended up returning the sound bar. Purchasing and return experience was great.

      Hi Cape, we're sorry to hear that you returned the unit. The X9000F does have adjustable listening distances and gain levels to help fine tune the soundbar to your listening environment via the soundbar’s onscreen Graphical User Interface (GUI) menu. We hope you will consider Sony again in your future purchases. Sony_US

    A very nice compact sound system for UHD TVs that supports (i.e., simulates) Dolby Atomos. Installation required one HDMI cable (included) using supported Audio Return Channel (ARC); subwoofer is wireless.

    My impaired hearing has made it a requirement to use Bluetooth technology in prior sound bars, but this sound presentation is so good that I can listen to it as do all others with normal hearing.

    This sound system was great for about 1.5 years. The sound was good and it was really easy to use. Too bad the sub stopped working after about a year and a half, the the Bluetooth connectivity kept connecting and And disconnecting around the same time.

    This was a great addition to our new Sony TV. The Sony had good sound but it is great now with this. And having a wireless sub-woofer means it can go anywhere in the room.
