Best sound bar out there
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought a used store model with a Sony x900E 75inch TV and a Sony Ultra HD Bluray playrer. Both the TV and Bluray player paired nicely with this Soundbar. Very first thing to do is update your firmware. You can do this two ways, either by using old school method by using a USB stick, or by using build in WiFi. I did it by using WiFi method, took less then 10 minutes. I benchmarked the soundbar by paying random youtube music, and it sound great. Then i played a 4K HDR movie called Animal Planet, and the sound was great. Even connected my computer from upstairs using bluetooth and it connected with no issues.

Blown away
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing packs a ton of power, has fantastic features, sound is perfect, voices are clear, bass is amazing. All of this in a nice compact package. The Bluetooth works seamlessly. Sounds much better than my Bose and JBL speakers. If you are in the market for a high end sound system, this compact one is perfect for you. Movies, games, sport, and TV all sound perfect. The only downside is that I cannot use this to its full potential or the entire block will file a noise complaint, yes it can get that loud.

Exceptional sound Bar!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got an Open box deal on this one! It was really pretty much as new!!! Phenomenal sound! When I paired with my Sony Bravia 75” TV A very steep investment for sure! But, it blows the lower quality Sound bars out of the water. Definitely a great pair to a great TV......... You spend big on a quality TV, Do not settle for the TV sound system.... A world of difference. The sound is now Just as immersive as the Picture!!

Great Sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This unit has great sound and can fill the room. Its still a sound bar so don't expect it to replace a good component system. But this sound bar gets close.

Good, not great
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great huge sound with clear dialogue. The Sony speaker Home Screen set up can be a little clunky but it’s usable. The surround effects are there but mediocre in a big room. I bought it with hopes that I would have an immersive feel without rear speakers but it just didn’t fill my 30’x20’x11’ room. If it wasn’t for that, it’s be perfect.

Amazing soundbar for the price!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing by far is incredible, well worth the price it costs which wasn't cheap but well worth it. It creates a 3d surround sound effect around you when your listening to anything from music to watching a movie and even to playing a game. It immerses you like you wouldn't believe. I just recently found a setting that allows me to individually increase the people's talking which comes in handy for my older parents and where some soundbars sound muffled this is as crisp and clear as you can get. Highly recommend it if you've got the money to buy one!

Nedd more volume for de price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just to expensive for what you get. I think more power will bet a good choice for the price. Even the optical cable is not include.

Better for music listening.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product isn’t that great for movies or shows unless you plan on bumping the volume up to 80-90 just to have it decently loud. I don’t really even notice how it’s Dolby Atmos enabled if it’s typically only using 3 of the front speakers. I’ve tried putting my ear up against the other speakers and even touching them and they’re never in use unless I enable the 3D surround sound but it still doesn’t seem to sound like it’s actually coming from everywhere. I personally don’t think this is worth the amount I payed for it of about $1,619 after tax. And what really made me mad is the fact that the price literally dropped $200 after I bought it. So now it’s $1,200 before tax. I would return it but I destroyed the box and threw it away. But besides all that, this speaker actually has a excellent subwoofer with incredible bass. It even has a magnetic removable front speaker grill to show off the aesthetics of the speakers. So...at least it looks very appealing and premium with outstanding bass.
