    Solid performing. Not as good as receiver/speaker configuration, but much better than any TV's own speakers. Plus takes up less space. HDMI-CEC is also an advantage.

    This speaker system seemed like it would be great with two subwoofer speakers in it as well as treble and midrange.

    I purchased this soundbar for our office/workout room. The sound was okay until one turned it up. Then the sound became distorted. I did not feel I was expecting awesomeness from something so small. I was however expecting more. I have the HT-ST5 and the HT-ST7 sound bars and both are amazing for the money. This product would be okay for a student with a small tv and no way to get a higher end quality sound bar into the space.

    Being as our new t.v. is in our bedroom we figured we'd need a little extra help from a soundbar. This one has done the trick.

    my daughter implied that she wanted vivosmart hr+ for a birthday gift. because I got her sister one for her birthday. As it turned out it was the best birthday gift so far. She enjoyed it everyday when she exercises plus the gps is such a plus.

    The instructions for setup make the usual claims that a 6 year old could do it. Sony leaves out the fact that multiple setting on your TV need to be changed/altered for the device to work. I made a call to Sony customer service and the tech had to take remote control of my TV and it took him about 20 minutes to adjust all the setting to get the sound bar to work. Lucky I also have a Sony TV.

    It's a good sound bar but the maximum volume is a bit too low in my opinion. Other than that it is great.

    This unit looks sleek and modern- a great complement to my new Sony 49" XBR 49X800E 4K television- a new model for 2017. The unit paired easily via Bluetooth, and I made the connection via the included HDMI cable to the tv's HDMI/ARC port per the instructions. However, the volume was so low, that even at maximum levels, they were a quarter as loud as my tv's internal speakers! No matter what I did, I couldn't increase the volume. Sony support was of no help- despite the fact that I was using this speaker with the latest Sony television! You would think it would be plug and play, but this was definitely not the case for me. I had to return it- a pity, because it looked very sharp with my tv, but ultimately, it failed to function.

    I purchased the Bose Solo 15 II first and I was kinda undecided about it. Then I purchased the Sony - 2.1-channel Soundbar With 4.72 Subwoofer And 170-watt Digital Amplifier and it didn't come close to the Bose Solo 15 II. I kept the Bose and return the Sony.

    I bought this hoping it was good at last years xt1 model, but it's not. This unit seems underpowered even though it has the same specs as the xt1. The sound is weak and sounds like it's stuck in music hall mode. I am considering returning this and looking for another xt1.

    This soundbar is designed to sit under your TV but the feet on my tv are spaced too far apart. Also, the soundbar is too tall to sit under my TV so it didn't work for me. Just make sure the feet on your tv aren't too far apart and will sit on this sound bar.

    This sound bar is too big. It takes up too much space as it filled our entire television stand. We took it back and bought another one that was smaller. Make sure you check the dimensions of the product out before buying.
