Terrible and WAY overpriced! Look elsewhere!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you value any sense of audio fidelity and even surround sound imaging this is not the soundbar for you. At this price point absolutely terrible. Bought four soundbars for a comparison. This one, Sonos Arc Ultra, Polk Magnifi Ax and Sennheiser Ambeo Plus. All three on sale far exceed every sound characteristic, from vocal to surround sound. Hard to believe anybody would buy it and you owe it to yourself to try others!

Posted .Hi rkmovies, We're sorry to hear that you are not happy with your BRAVIA Theater Bar 9 speaker. This is definitely not what we wanted you to experience. To improve the sound quality on your HT-A9000, you can try the following steps:
1) On the Sony｜BRAVIA Connect or Sony | Home Entertainment Connect app, go to Settings → Wireless Speaker Settings → Wireless Playback Quality, and set it to "Priority on Sound Quality".
2) On the Sony｜BRAVIA Connect app, go to Settings → Sound Settings, and disable DSEE Ultimate.
3) Ensure that your HT-A9000 has the latest firmware update, which includes stability improvements. You can check the current software version and update it if necessary.
4) If you are experiencing audio sync issues, connect the source device directly to the Home Theater System or Soundbar using an HDMI cable. This can help improve the synchronization between audio and video.
5) If you are using a Bluetooth connection, ensure there are no obstructions between the unit and the connected device. Place the devices closer together to improve signal transmission. Additionally, turn off any nearby Wi-Fi devices that might be causing interference.
