    The Bravia soundbar enhanced my overall viewing experience. I bought this with the optional subwoofer and rear speaker. It replace an old Bose system that was outdated but sounded fine. This Sony Bravia setup puts the Bose to shame. Very happy with my upgrade!

    It’s Fine, Missing Pieces

    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.

      Thank you for sharing your experience with the BRAVIA Theater Bar 9!

      We are very glad to hear that you have space for all the speakers and are happy with the comprehensive nature of the system. We also appreciate your note about the heavy packing; we utilize robust, protective materials to ensure the components arrive in perfect condition, and we understand that this can make the unboxing process a bit difficult.

      We hope you're now fully enjoying the immersive sound experience it delivers!

      Thanks for choosing Sony!
