    I had to return it after 5 days it would stop working when playing a movie. For the price I expected more from this product. I love Sony products that’s all I own. I returned it and bought the A7000 soundbar and love it I just wished I bought the RS5 speakers to go with it.

      Hi TerryW, We're sorry that you are disappointed with the performance of the BRAVIA Theater 9 bar. This is definitely not the experience we wanted you to have, but we're glad that you like the HTA7000 together with the RS5 speakers. We take this as feedback as it can help us improve in the future.

    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.

    I was very disappointed with both the soundbar & sub! I set it up with the app as it said, but it sounded NOTHING like it did in BestBuy. I don’t know if it’s because of the higher ceilings or what, but the cheaper one I already had sounds better in my house. I couldn’t justify keeping it so I took both back

      Hi CLAL,

      We regret to hear that you were not satisfied with the soundbar. Rest assured that your feedback will help us improve our products and services.

      For optimum performance, it is recommended to install the latest software version of the soundbar (via the Sony BRAVIA Connect app). Sound quality may vary depending on the source content. You have the option to adjust the settings of the soundbar to fine-tune the sound quality depending on your needs. Additionally, with Sound Field Optimization, it optimizes the sound field effect according to your setup or environment.

      Thanks again for sharing your review and we hope you will consider Sony for your future purchases.

      Hi TerryK, It's great to hear that the BRAVIA Theater Bar 8 meets your sound needs without requiring a subwoofer. The BRAVIA Theater Bar 8 features 11 speakers and 360 Spatial Sound Mapping, which provides a remarkable theater-like surround sound experience. This setup is designed to deliver optimized spatial audio that envelops you with every intricate sound, just as the creator intended. While the system can be expanded with an optional wireless subwoofer and rear speakers, it seems that the built-in capabilities are sufficient for your current setup. Enjoy your enhanced audio experience! Thank you for choosing Sony! -Carl Sony_US
