Good bar for TV and movies. Not good for music.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds great through the HDMI connection. The rear speakers can be a bit much. Need to be adjusted down. Continually drops Airplay and Bluetooth connections, including to the app on your iPhone or iPad. Very frustrating. I went though all the install and troubleshooting steps. Tested it on multiple devices. Still encountered the issues. If you get your music through a streaming app on the TV like Amazon Music, this would be a solid option. If you stream music from your phone or iPad, look for something different.

Not worth $10 - let alone $1000
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to replace the HT-S7000 and accompanying subwoofer. I should have returned it when I had the chance. The remote is worthless. There is no display on this like most of its predecessors at this price point. They force you to use their Bravia app. It continuously disconnects from my bar/woofer and refuses to reconnect. Sad. Genuinely sad. The HT-S7000 still sounded better. Even without Atmos.
