    Great sound, easy setup, and not bad on the pocketbook. I normally wouldn’t buy a matching set (TV and Soundbar) but this one seriously makes you think someone is whispering behind you at times! Definitely would recommend!

    When we listen to the sound system in the store, it sounded great. However, when we brought it home and set it up for the instructions, we had to turn off the rear speakers in order to hear the voice. Think something must’ve been the matter with the sound bar, I told them when I returned it. They had a Samsung system on sale last year‘s model and we bought that and it works fantastic true theater sound in our own living room

    Great clear robust sound. If you want to hear exactly what people are saying this sound bar fits the bill. It would help if there was a way to tell the level of the setting. Sometimes I increase the level and it all of a sudden blasts out. I can’t tell how much I am adjusting the sound level.

    Great sound, the atmos does fill the room. I did enhance the sound with the Bass and rear speakers (lower model). The only problem is that my Sony TV is from 2021 and so I can't fully control the speaker bar settings. Bought it all on sale so I mark the value higher than I normally would.

    Don't expect room filling sound effects. Helps with dialog though. I wear hearing aids so combined with my Bravia 9 using the tv speakers in conjunction with the Bravia theater bar 9 really helps with dialog.

    It is amazing. We have the subwoofer and rear speakers as well. Our livingroom in very open and we were impressed with how the room was filled with sound. Make sure they connect the s cable during install. It does make a difference. Voices are clear and you can hear much more detail than before.

    Does exactly what irts supposed to on a 55” Bravia tv, with the small (#3) Sony subwoofer. Ths model 9 is overkill for amaller tvs and rooms, unless you watch Top Gun at full volume every week, or live in your PS. Great product, great installers.
