Exellent Sound Bar with a few caveats
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I found this sound bar to be a excellent sound bar but there is room for a bit of improvement. While sound clarity is good with the bar alone you do need the subwoofer and surrounds to get the true cinematic experience especially in a larger room. Another poor decision for me is not having the ability to adjust treble and base. The software can be clunky. At times I have unplug it and disconnect tv for changes to take effect. Iike the integration with the Bravia TVs. It is also a bit overpriced in my opinion. Overall if I had to I would but it again since it works so well with my Bravia TV.

Good bang for a budget purchase.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall it’s a good sound system. On its own it wouldn’t pass 3 stars. The Subwoofer is a MUST. It does reach 4 stars if it’s Paired up with a Sub and rear speakers as well as a Sony Tv that can act as a center speaker. It will sound more “mutted” than the A5000 but cranking up the bass and volume will definitely fix that. The Bravia App is a must for adjustments and updates. if you have WiFi connectivity you won’t have to rely on a USB to add updates.

Great sound bar
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We upgraded out TV and decided to upgrade the sound too. We were used to having surround sound and bought this along with a subwoofer when we purchased the TV. It is doing really well for us, we also have the subwoofer and added rear speakers. Sound is really nice, my husband is a sound man and has training operating sound systems. He has mentioned several times how good the sound is.

Sound is Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a problem with the Bravia 8 sound bar - the sound kept cutting out, so I went to the Bravia & still the sound is cutting out, not as much but still doing that
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi THOR,
Thanks for your feedback about the Bravia sound bars. We're sorry to hear the sound keeps cutting out, even after switching to the Bravia 9. That kind of interruption definitely isn’t what we want for your setup.
Here are a few quick things you can try: Make sure all the cables are connected tightly; sometimes even a small looseness can mess with the sound. If you’re using Bluetooth or another wireless connection, keep other electronics away from the sound bar to reduce interference. Restarting both your TV and sound bar can also refresh the connection and fix minor hiccups.
It’s worth checking for any software updates for both your TV and sound bar.
For instructions on updating your sound bar’s software, please refer to the detailed steps on the following link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/sound-bars-home-theater-systems-sound-bars-surround-speakers/ht-a9000/software/00346076
If the issue still persists after following those steps, we strongly recommend reaching out to our technical support team using the link below.
