Quality control needed
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Sony Bravia 8 sound bar
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Sounds different in store
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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
