    Very satisfied with the ease of connecting and overall sound quality. Originally purchased a Bose sound bar but every day, I had to unplug it and back in again to get it to work with my TV. Have not had to do this to the Sony Theater Bar 8.

We engineered the soundbar to create an incredibly immersive, three-dimensional soundscape that makes you feel like you're right in the middle of the action, so it's great to hear that it's working so well for you.

      Thank you again for choosing Sony and for sharing your experience. We hope you continue to enjoy a fantastic sound experience!

    Replaced a HT-A3000 with the Bravia Bar 8. Very much worth the upgrade price. Purchased it to see if the new Voice Zoom was as good as the hype. We have to say it is. Voices are much clearer/cleaner/easier to understand as compared to the HT-A3000. Other sound effects of the Bar 8 are much better than the A3000. Using the Bar 8 stand-a-alone: no extra rear speakers or subwoofer. The Bar 8 is connected to a Sony XR-75X90K & all works well.

    Honestly, I got this sound bar to replace my a7000 thinking this would be a huge upgrade with the additional two speakers that are side firing, versus the side firing tweeters. Seems like a lot of features have been stripped away and I don’t like that I’m forced to use my phone to make any changes. I don’t like not having a visual on the sound bar that tells me what mode I’m in, etc. The sound actually does not have as much of a deep dynamic feel as the a7000. I think I’m going to go back to my a7000. Some people may be happy with this new. “Upgrade” but I am not.
