A Solid Clear and Crisp Sounding Home Theater Bar
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really attractive and provides clear and crisp sound. There is also an option to increase bass. A nice subwoofer though might be a better approach.

It’s Fine, Missing Pieces
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed a new sound bar since our old surround system was too big and needed to go. Bought this as an open box excellent condition item to save some money and didn’t believe this was worth the new value price. Speaker was in new condition but no hardware was included to mount the little feet on this nor the remote control. A lot of settings to play around to get the right sound. Most of all this is very easy to use with our Sony TV which is ultimately why we went with the sound bar. Would recommend if you want easy use with a Sony TV and single Sony remote otherwise I’d skip on it.

Great soundbar with annoying app requirement.
|Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased it as a present and they love it! Also purchased a subwoofer to go along with it (The SA-SW3) and they did not even use it, feeling the bar itself was good on its own. The downside, as is the downside with a lot of products coming out in recent times, is that it needs an app to allow customization. It's not Sony exclusive issue (I have Bose earbuds that also make you download an app) but it's quite annoying at this point.
