    Total sound immersion! Sound comes for multiple directions and the 3D excuse amazing. Plenty of power to add multi dimension sound. Especially when pair to Sony’s bass and rear speakers.

    I bought a new Sony Bravia TV and this soundbar at same time. Easy to hookup and it sounds great. I had an older Bose soundbar but I like the Sony much better.

    [Employee of bestbuy] Being honest I expected way more when I purchased this soundbar considering the high price point. The soundbar was bad it kept disconnecting from the tv every five minutes. I have to turn it off and and on again in order for it to work. Also the sound quality was not great either considering the price there are many options with way better sound at this price.

    [Employee of bestbuy] Pricey but worth it if you are going for a full home set up. The bar 8 would be a close runner up in my opinion but if you get it for a good sale definitely consider getting this system.
