Posted .Hi Maximo,
We are ecstatic to learn that the BRAVIA Theater Bar 9 gave you that incredible "wow" factor! Comparing it to our flagship BRAVIA Theater Quad is a massive compliment, as both are engineered to redefine what home cinema can sound like. We are glad that the Bar 9 is delivering that same immersive, expansive soundstage that makes you feel like you are right in the middle of the action.
That stunning audio is largely thanks to our 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology. While the Bar 9 is a single sleek unit, it uses 13 speakers—including up-firing drivers and side beam tweeters—to create phantom speakers all around your room. This mimics the multi-speaker setup of the Quad system, enveloping you in sound from every direction and ensuring that every explosion, whisper, and musical score feels breathtakingly real.
Thank you for trusting Sony to bring a true cinematic experience into your home.
Regards,
Dominick

Great soundbar, worth it!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Paired with the Theater Bar 8, RS5 surrounds, and SW5 subwoofer. An amazing Sony setup! The sound field it creates in the room is wonderful. Looks good underneath the 77" Bravia 8.

Great Soundbar, though Expensive!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great Sound, good voice synching, great to be able to control it from the TV screens, and bass is so good you don’t need a sub for most rooms. Only thing I don’t like is that the Xfinity remote doesn’t seem to like to control the sound bar consistently, and there is no visual of the sound level on the TV screen if you use the Xfinity remote. Shoudl be better integrated.

Posted .Hi KitchenGuy,
Thank you for sharing your experience with the BRAVIA Theater Bar 9! We're glad to hear that you're enjoying the great sound, voice syncing, and deep bass without needing a sub in most rooms.
Regarding the remote control issue, we understand how important seamless integration is. While our soundbars are designed to work with a wide range of accessories, third-party remotes may have varying levels of compatibility. We recommend reaching out to their support team to check for any available settings or updates that could improve the integration.
We appreciate your feedback and hope you continue to enjoy your Sony setup!

Very clear and crisp
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.At my age and having multiple surround sound set ups, I was looking for something that was very clear and I could hear more detail. The salesman suggested this first and I absolutely love it. It does exactly what I want: it is very clear, no distortion, no overwhelming bass and easy to use with the app. It’s the first set up my wife has ever approved.

Sony Brava Bar 9 Soundbar
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds Good, you do need to get a Sub to make it sound great. Easy to set up as long as you download the Brava Connect App first. I bought this as an open box and did not have any issues with it, the only missing part was the remote which is not needed if you want to use the tv or the app to control the soundbar

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.
