Big sound for a great price.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This has surprising big sound for its size. Using it on a 32" tv in the basement with an apple tv box. Optical cable but has bluetooth capability. . Apple tv remote works great with this sound bar. The miniature woofer fires downward as an fyi if you wall mount it.

Sound Bar a Little Off
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For some reason, there is a split-second delay between people’s mouthing words and the actual sound. It does not occur when the sound bar is not in use and I have no idea how to troubleshoot it.

Pretty good soundbar
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound bar is pretty good like the title says. Nice for smaller rooms. Built in subwoofer helps bring you a sound that feels bigger. Good price point.

Great for a teenager or a small room
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You really don't know how loud it is because it doesn't have a counter for the volume. It resignations pretty well for a small bedroom and TV. All and all I have been very satisfied with the product
I would recommend this to a friendGreat sound bar for the $$
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this as an inexpensive way to be able to hear a TV on my patio. It does exactly what I needed. Keep in mind it is a budget friendly sound bar. It doesn’t provide a “cinema” experience but it is far, far superior to the TVs built in speakers.

Meh
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Exactly what I needed, but for the price (199) its disappointing. It doesn't get very loud which may or may not be an issue for you. The sound reproduction is acceptable but not great. I'm keeping it because it's the right dimensions for my need and sounds much better than the tv speakers, the built-in subwoofer makes a noticeable difference but overall there are much better options for the price.

Sony always wins
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this for the man cave tv.

Upgrade TV sound in Bedroom
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wanted to upgrade the sound on the 46” Sony in the bedroom, but didn’t want anything too overwhelming. I had purchased a 2.1 with separate subwoofer, but found the sound very tinny and yet overwhelming for the bedroom. I saw this a looked at some reviews and for the price figured I’d try it out. I’m pleased with it, it better than the TV sound and good enough for the bedroom. I recommend this of you want better than TV sound for a small room. But if you want the “ boom” and “Pow” of a theater than this is not it.

Decent soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent soundbar. Not powerful for a home theatre, but good for a workout room / a desktop speaker. I bought 3 of them. 1 for gym room, 1 for my desktop (it is much more space efficient than regular desktop speakers), and 1 for my gaming room.

Sony 2.1-channel soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The speaker is, for the most part, very much to our liking. However, it occasionally "mumbles" the sound and makes it difficult to distinguish what is being spoken.

Okay sound for the price
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This speaker is a good buy for the price. However, I noticed right away that the voice audio doesn't separate from other sounds too well. So, in order to hear the voices better. I had to crank up the volume a bit louder than I wanted to just for voices to be heard better. But, if that sort of thing doesn't bother you. Go for it!
