Nothing like having a home theater in your living room.

This sound bar packs a punch. Great for a small living room.

Sounds OK but not the best out there but still pretty good purchase for a discounted price

not as good as I thought. not as clear as my previous sound bar and sub

The bass on this product is too loud. We’ve already tried to update the settings and we can barely hear people talking, it’s all background noise. Thinking we should have gone with a different brand.

THIS BUNDLE PAIRED MAY BE GOOD FOR A SMALLER ROOM, BUT IT WASN'T QUITE ENOUGH FOR OUR LIVING ROOM; IT ALSO HAD SOME POPPING AND WE DIDN'T KNOW WHY. WE RETURNED IT AND UPGRADED TO THE BRAVIA 8 BAR WITH A SEPARATE WOOFER.

Sounds great when the sub works. shuts on and off. I have to hit the side of it to get it to come on then it shuts off a few minutes later then repeat.

The Sony BRAVIA Theater Soundbar is an excellent home theater sound system. I have Sony systems already in my home and love them, so I had high expectations for this soundbar and I'm happy to say it didn't disappoint. For my review I tested and compared it to my complete Sony HT-A5000 theater system (5.1.2) and my Sony HT-S2000 Compact soundbar (3.1). The sound quality on it is top notch, it can get booming and loud for large living rooms/ theater rooms and for smaller spaces its crystal clear without shaking the walls, and the bass from the subwoofer is rich and deep. It has the Surround Sound Field technology which when paired with tweeters/rear speakers creates a 360 soundscape. Set up and getting to learn the controls is insanely easy even for those that are new to the Sony line of products. One little detail I loved about this soundbar is the included little base pads or feet, which might not seem like a crazy big deal but its actually a welcome addition since my two other devices didn't come with any. There are only two minor details I didn't like and they're so minor they don't even knock a star off. For one, the controller is the same as the HT-S2000, so either remotes could control either device. This means I can't have them powered on simultaneously or nearby because one remote would try to adjust both at the same or the other when not intending to. Second, there isn't a more easily recognizable way to know when Sound Field is On or Off. When toggled only a little light blinks on the soundbar, the sound quality is audibly different so it's not impossible to tell but compared to my other two devices which show (S.F. On or S.F. Off) when toggled its a minor detail that seems weird to change. Overall, I love the Sony BRAVIA Theater Bar, it's sound quality is top of the line, it's so good it's bumped out my HT-S2000 from the TV it was connected to. I would absolutely recommend it if you want to take your home theater to another level.

I got this sound bar no even 2 months ago and the subwoofer stops working, I took it to the Best Buy in Braintree and they said is going to take 4 to 6 weeks to repair. I paid $650 for this …. No more Sony and no more Best Buy.

I've been using soundbars for over a decade now and throughtout the years have tried quite a few. With every generation, I've always been impressed with the sounds profile. They've been getting better and better. So when getting this Sony Bravia Bar 6, I was curious on how they where going to improve or do better than my other soundbars. Well, what Sony did was not revolutionary but I think improved on all the little things. Let's start off with the design. The bar itself has a great low profile build, it's a matte black which is my preference. My last soundbar had a shiney finish and my eyes are always catching the glare when everything was turned off. The corners are rounded and the back is flat. Also the 2 input, HDMI EARC and optical. The back has a cutout(?) that you can plug your cables in but still be able to mount the soundbar flush against the wall (there is only 2 inputs btw). The soundbar itself has only a power button, which I'm kinda not liking. I'm old so always want physical buttons just in case something freaks out. It does come with a remote with all your basic functions but to really do anything, Sony expects you to use their app. To set up the soundbar, you will need the app. It gives you step by step instructions on how to set it up and helps calibrate the speaker system to the room you put it in. The subwoofer is a good size, meaning not too large and not too small. The punch it puts out is really incredible for it's size. Speaking of sound, I have a medium size living room, which is where I placed this soundbar, and it did an incredible job of filling room with sound at 50% volume. I have yet to turn it up more than that because the wife says it's too loud, LOL. Although I didn't get that feeling of sound behind me, I felt it everywhere else. The soundbar also is bluetooth capable meaning you can play audio through all your other different devices, but that ain't nothing new. I'm really happy with this soundbar and it being a Sony, I'm pretty confident, this is going to last awhile.

At its best, this is a great sound system. The bass is full and the sound is rich. However, I am continually finding myself having to adjust the volume to be louder or quieter while watching a movie. This is especially problematic at night as the volume will suddenly be loud during an action sequence and then so quiet you can’t hear well during a following scene. The companion app has an option for Night mode, as well as to limit the variance between the high and low points, but neither of them seem to work sufficiently enough. When I have the audio mode set to cinema, the general sound of everything sounds amazing, but then dialogue is difficult to understand. When setting the audio mode to enhance the dialogue, it works well for that, but then the rest of the audio is less full and rich. When playing the same movie through this soundbar and previous speakers, there’s a noticeable difference in how ineffectively the sound bar handles changes in the source volume. I’m overall fairly disappointed and the problems I’m seeing can likely fixed through a future update, but in its present condition, I couldn’t recommend it.

The sound is not working when sound is outputting to audio

So far I’m not very impressed with the sound. Perhaps I have not set it up correct in settings.

I recently replaced my TV with a Sony Bravia (K65XR80 model) and was extremely excited to get an opportunity to pair it with one of the new Bravia-specific surround systems, in this case the Theater Bar 6 3.1.2. Right away I'm going to mention that when you are dealing with 3.1 systems there is inherently going to be some limitations as far as the size of the room while still getting decent results. If you are trying to use one in a really large family/game room or something with very high ceilings, you just are not going to get the same experience someone in a dorm room, smaller office, or similar is. So please keep that in mind when looking at ANY surround system. There is a reason there are 3.1, 5.1, 7.1 (etc) systems. With that in mind, I set this up in my gaming office and what a simple, straight-forward process. No wires, simple remote, the app is very (very) easy to navigate through to get things sorted in a couple of minutes. Having a Sony TV the remote pairs right up with the soundbar so there's no need to keep both out. You only have a single HDMI connection point, no optical or other options provided. I get keeping things simple, but removing a secondary connection option is something I don't necessarily agree, it comes off as nothing more than a way to save a few bucks during production, but I digress. Not enough to warrant removing a star, but wanted to mention it as it's really the only flaw I had with this system. The whole range is capable of handling Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and DSEE. Coupled with Sony's "Voice Mode" and you have an excellent listening experience on your hands. Plenty of conversations (no pun intended) have been had over the last decade or so about how hard it is in modern films/shows to hear dialogue; "Voice Mode" just about solves this annoyance. Bluetooth connection of other devices is instant and consistent. There's no needing to toggle on/off, pair/unpair. I have other Sony bluetooth speakers and can confidently say they are one of the best in this realm; you'd think by now this would be a non-issue, but it's crazy that in 2025 there are still products out that that will not consistently connect via bluetooth and require constant "fiddling" to get sorted. All in all, this is a great little piece of kit. It's small, yes, but it packs a decent punch when used in the right environment. It's Sony, so the quality is there from materials to the app interface, top to bottom a great system for anyone wanting a quick and easy way to get a quality sound experience. Highly recommended!

I got this soundbar to go specifically with my Sony bravia x90l series tv. I have it set up and have just been using the tv speakers for about 4 months and I love the tv, but miss the fullness of sound I have with my main surround system on my other TV. Thus comes with 2 power cables, and an hdmi cable. You have to download the bravia connect app and follow the instructions. The app was easy enough to follow, and set up went without a hitch, other than I didn't get the cable hooked into the TV initially and it wasn't connecting, but I found I hadn't pushed the cable in the last mm. Once that wad done the app controls volume and voice and surround setting if you wish, but it’s not necessary once you have it set up. My in laws will use this system a lot and I want it to be able to just turn on and go. This sldoes that, and the tv quickly adjust to external speakers. If this got shut off, it will go back to tv speakers. The volume was seamlessly controlled by tv volume and app and screen matched on level. As for sound, I kicked the bass up all the way and watch several movies in 4k atmos with heavy action and also dialogue. Voice was clear and the action was done well, very spatial with directional quality. Helicopters went from left to right on the screen, bullets flew from right to left and past me. Cars drove by and away well. I have this in a mid-size living area and I was sitting about 14 foot back and it fell like it was around me. Bass and tone are crisp. Dialogue very discernable The price point on this competative for low/mid premium bars with a sub, sound is not quite as good as my bose soundbar for dialogue and regular TV where sound varies with broadcasts, but for movies and action right there with it. Capatability and ease of use, this was a snap, and matched my tv without issues, making it a good option for that tv. I’m very glad I got this. I won't deduct points for this on anything, though I am old and prefer an actual user manual and not a qr code electronic one, I will not penalize them for going with that trend. There is a 5.1 channel version of this, but this does very excellent without the satellite speakers. It realy does a great job without them surrounding the viewer with sound. I do reccomend this without hesitation.

This Sony sound system has amazing sound and even comes with a subwoofer to get all the bass you want. The size is not huge like some sound bars. This one comes in around 37 inches long, 2 1/2 inches high and a little over 4 inches deep. The subwoofer is pretty heavy and of good size, so I have that on the floor near my TV. The sound bar will fit nicely on a lot of TV stands or can be mounted to the wall which I have done right under the TV so I can use it for the TV and since I have a music app, the sound is awesome for just listening to music off of the TV. The look is stylish and simple. It is covered in a black metal mesh that doesn’t affect the sound and hides the speakers. There is an HDMI port on the back to connect to your television. This is the only connection, so make sure you have an HDMI Arc port on your television, otherwise this will not work with it. It even comes with an HDMI cable!!! There are no buttons on the sound bar itself, but it comes with a small remote control. If you lose the remote, Sony has the Bravia Connect App to control it via your smart device, so I advise downloading the app when you set it up. You can change the volume and other settings to optimize your sound system on either. The app even gives tech support and gives access to the latest software updates. Dolby Atmos is a technology that is surround sound without all the added fixed speakers. This gives you an amazing sound experience that is realistic and you feel like you are right there in the movie, TV show or at a concert. There are other audio features on this sound system also, such as the clear voice algorithms. This is good for people who have a hard time hearing vocals because it makes the vocals clearer to hear. This also comes with the Multi Stereo mode. This makes regular stereo sound feel richer and fuller. The sound bar also has Bluetooth technology so if you want to listen to music from your phone or tablet, you can easily set it up. I recommend this sound system for the rich sounds and immersive audio. With this price range you really get what you pay for and then some.

Included- Soundbar, subwoofer, remote, 2 batteries, HDMI, 2 power cords, manuals The Sony BRAVIA Theater System arrived well packed and organized. Once unpacked, you will find a QR code In the manual to find the Bravia Connect app you will need to download. Create or log into an account and follow the directions to set it up. It was really easy because it walked you through step by step. It was detailed enough so that I was not confused. Once everything was plugged in, it could detect the soundbar and it paired it with the app. It asked a few questions about the distance of the soundbar and subwoofer in relation to the ceiling and the sitting/listening location so it could adjust the settings accordingly. It only took a few minutes and it was done. In the Bravia app, you can customize the overall sound to have the best listening experience. You can adjust the volume, base, audio, sound settings, system settings, wireless speaker settings and HDMI settings. I have the Sony BRAVIA Theater System 6 connected to my Epson EpiqVision Ultra Projector. I always felt that the sound quality on the projector was mediocre, so I've been wanting to upgrade it with a soundbar. The result is now great. It is like night and day adding the soundbar and sub. There are three spatial speakers in the sound bar that support Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X®.1 formats. It really makes watching any show or movie or listening to music an awesome experience compared to what it was previously. It's not claiming to be a surround sound system, it's stating to be a cinematic spatial sound system. I think it delivers on what it says it is. It looks good in any room with any decor with its basic black design. I like that it was simple to set up and it's a simple system. I don't like lots of components to a sound system so this is what I was exactly looking for. I appreciate that the sub is included in part of the system. I have the bass turned up to the max setting because we like it that way. It's not shaking the house but it does deliver a nice strong deep sound. I'm honestly very happy with the Sony Bravia Theater system.

Nice speaker to add to your TV. This speaker and subwoofer combo pack a punch. I added this to my bedroom setup. As it provided a dramitaclly better soundstage and clarity over the built in TV speakers. Lets dive in. This unit is a 3.1.2 setup. Providing the front stage 3 speakers Left/Center/Right then 1 subwoofer and 2 upfiring surround speakers. Completely fills the room and provides good volume and voice clarity. Unlike other bars this size - this one has a center channel for better voice dialogue. It helps a lot. Hookup is simple only requiring the 1 hdmi. It utilizes the ARC functionality of HDMI. ARC is the audio return channel. So you can be limited by the number of HDMI connections on your TV. This method makes input selections easier and to your TV. But connecting the extra device leaves a cable coming down the wall vs being able to hide it behind a table. But it works otherwise very well. This speaker takes all the normal codecs of Dolby DTS ATMOS There is a voice Zoom3 feature for compatible Sony TVs that enhances voice even more using AI mechanisms. Great sound bar. Minimal look approach. Works as expected and simple to setup.

The Sony Bravia theater bar 6 is a convenient, compact, stylish way to liven up your viewing experience. It is a 3.1.2 channel soundbar, meaning you've got three primary speakers, one base speaker, and two upward facing speakers for Dolby Atmos spatial sound. All of the speakers except for the subwoofer are contained within the soundbar, and it is less than 2 in tall, meaning it can fit under most TVs that are on a stand. The installation is incredibly quick and easy, just connect your HDMI cable, preferably from your eArc hdmi port on your TV to to your soundbar. Run everything else through your TV as normal, and just enable CEC, or computer electronic control. This will allow you to adjust the volume of the soundbar with your TVs remote control. The subwoofer just quickly pairs to to the soundbar, and just works. The sound is amazing, as soon as you get this and get it set up, jump on YouTube and look for some speaker tests, both surround sound tests and Dolby Atmos tests. You will be amazed with the performance of such a quick and easy installation.

Sony BRAVIA Theater Bar 6, 3.1.2ch is very impressive. Packaging and shipping. Box is very sturdy and durable. Soundbar and subwoofer were placed and packaged nicely. Lots of cardboard surrounding both pieces and shape of the box kept everything in place without moving or sliding. Soundbar review: Soundbar was easy to unpack and setup. Came with HDMI and power cable. I plugged both in and off to the app I went. Soundbar is attractive and slim. Sits nicely below my TV as if it was made to fit the space. Sound fills the room and is very rich and fulfilling. Subwoofer review: Subwoofer connected quickly and effortlessly to the soundbar without fail. Sounds are rich and vibrant coming from the woofer. The size of the subwoofer is easy to place, small footprint and yet big sound. Sound overall: Impressive, dynamic and fills the room wonderfully. The bass is very deep and soothing as well. I have watched a few action movies and feels like I am in the action. Amazing design to fill any room. Voice clarity is amazing as well. I can understand words better than ever before.
