||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This does not perform as well as the sales associate lead us to believe
No, I would not recommend this to a friendPretty good sound, when it works!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this from Best Buy in Nov 2024. Earlier in 2025 I started experiencing a sort of “brick mode” from the soundbar. Sony has failed to properly diagnose the issue now 3 times. When the soundbar has been shipped to Sony it was no longer bricked, and they shipped it back. It was working for 1-2 weeks upon receiving it back and then bricks again. As of this review it has now bricked for the 4th time. Sony has indicated exchange is likely, but I would not be surprised if this happens on the new one as I have read of several orher users experiencing the same exact issue. Good luck!

Sony Bravia 8 sound bar
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is okay, had to buy the sub to make up for poor sound quality of sound bar, still not impressed, for the combined price of these, I'd go ahead and upgrade to the Sonos sound bar, much better sound quality and the use of the streaming makes it a better value.
