Sony Bravia Theater Bar 8
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This soundbar works seamlessly with Sony TV's, especially when using the S-Center Out to link up with your TV speakers. This works very well with wireless Sony speakers and wireless Sony subwoofers. The bass in this soundbar is really good, but a dedicated wireless subwoofer completes the sound profile. I would recommend adding a sub before adding rear speakers if you are on a budget. As the rear speakers help, but the sub makes more of a difference.

OK but pricey.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wanted to get a sound bar to replace my old Sony stereo hookup for the TV. Sound was OK but the product was hard to set up and operate. Considering the price and the fact that I was hooking it up to a new Sony TV it was disappointing.

Good But Not Worth The Price
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The soundbar is attractive, well made, and easy to install, but the sound quality isn't any better than soundbars half the price. In order to get good quality sound, you'll need to buy the subwoffer, which is another $500. So, $1500 is far to much money for what you get.

Posted .Hi BillFlag,
Thank you for your feedback! We're pleased to read that you found our soundbar attractive, well-made, and easy to install. However, we regret that the sound quality did not meet your expectations compared to less expensive models.
While our soundbars are designed to deliver high-quality audio, we also recognize that adding a subwoofer can significantly enhance the overall sound experience. The subwoofer enhances bass frequencies, providing a richer and more immersive sound.
We understand your concern about the additional cost. We recommend checking out our HT-X8500 model, which includes a built-in subwoofer at a more affordable price point.
We appreciate your review and are continually looking to improve our products based on customer feedback.
Thank you for choosing Sony!
Best regards,

Bravia Theater Bar 8...Great value!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased along with a new Sony 85" Bravia 7, and the sound quality is noticeable. Easy controls and remote. I stream via DirecTV and it was linked to my remote very easily, but I occasionally use the SONY remote to enhance the sound. Voices come across much clearer than with the Sound Bar that the Theater 8 replaced
