Best Choice for Sony Bravia TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best Choice to compliment your Sony Bravia TV. Works seamless with Bravia. Pair it with SARS5 rear speakers and SW5 subwoofer then you have great surround home theatre.

Great Sound Bar
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony Bravia Sound Bar 8 is one of the best I found. Checked on multiple other bars but this was the best on Bass sound clarity and is very sleek and easy to handle. It has 11 speakers and with this bar I did not feel the need for any external woofers or speakers. But its your choice to add if you want. Overall value for money and highly recommended.

Bar 8
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Made the change from Onkyo A/V receiver, a sub woofer, center and front speakers. Much improved sound quality With the Bar 8 and the Sony Sub woofer. Mounted Direct tv and Apple TV behind my 85 inch Sony Bravia wall mounted tv. Cleaned up inside cabinet below tv and now more speaker on floor and the center on top of cabinet. Geeks guys mounted sound bar under tv. Great sound and setup. Hit a sale and saved.

It’s Fine, Missing Pieces
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed a new sound bar since our old surround system was too big and needed to go. Bought this as an open box excellent condition item to save some money and didn’t believe this was worth the new value price. Speaker was in new condition but no hardware was included to mount the little feet on this nor the remote control. A lot of settings to play around to get the right sound. Most of all this is very easy to use with our Sony TV which is ultimately why we went with the sound bar. Would recommend if you want easy use with a Sony TV and single Sony remote otherwise I’d skip on it.

Sony Bravia Bar 8 & Sony XR-75X90K
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
