    Powerful Surround Sound-Feels Like a Real Theater

    The Sony BRAVIA Theater System 6 is an outstanding home-theater upgrade that delivers rich, immersive 5.1-channel surround sound with deep, powerful bass from the subwoofer. Dialogue is clear through the dedicated center speaker, and movies and sports feel far more engaging thanks to the surround speakers and Dolby Atmos/DTS:X compatibility. Setup was straightforward, and once running, the system fills the room with clean, cinematic audio that’s a huge improvement over TV speakers or basic soundbars. Excellent sound quality, strong bass, and great value make this system easy to recommend.

    We have an open layout for our main floor, essentially a family space, dining room, and kitchen all in one with 12-14 ft ceilings. We used to have a hard time making out voice from the background noise, this system has helped resolve that issue. The base is pretty insane (in a good way). Only wish is that the speakers connected together via Bluetooth so we didn’t have to do as much cable management.

      Hello LindsFar!
      Thanks so much for sharing your feedback with us.
      It brings us great satisfaction to hear that the HT-S60 is helping you hear every word clearly, especially with those high ceilings and your open floor plan. We're glad the bass is giving your family space that extra punch and we hear you loud and clear on the preference for fewer cables!

    I picked up this beast for $499 on sale, and it has exceeded every expectation. It’s been almost a month, and I can confidently say this system is an absolute powerhouse. The sound quality is phenomenal. The bass is deep and impactful without being overwhelming, the clarity is crisp and detailed, and the two satellite speakers create a truly immersive surround experience. Whether I’m watching movies or listening to music, the audio feels rich, dynamic, and incredibly engaging. I did run into a small issue initially — my Sony Bravia TV had the audio output set to PCM by default, which prevented the system from delivering its full potential. Switching the setting to “Auto” (Send compressed audio without change) solved the problem instantly. After that adjustment, everything worked flawlessly. The Dolby Atmos experience has been outstanding. It genuinely feels like bringing a cinematic theater experience into my living room. At $499, this system is an exceptional value. Easily one of my best purchases — worth every penny.

    The Sony Bravia Home Theater delivers an excellent cinematic experience at home. The sound quality is powerful, clear, and well-balanced, with deep bass that enhances movies, music, and sports. The surround sound effect makes you feel like you are in a real theater. The design is sleek and modern, and it connects easily with Sony Bravia TVs and other devices through Bluetooth and HDMI. Setup is quick and user-friendly. Overall, it’s a great choice for anyone looking for premium sound quality and a reliable home theater system.

    For the price i wish it was cordless. Premium quality and sound. It has many customization features and controls on the app once paired. It had no issue with my hisense u7 tv. A dislike to me is when raising or lowering the volume it does not feel instant as it would without having a sound system, like a second delay for it to send the request.

    Amazing, amazing, awe inspiring. This was my third choice when purchasing... and yet I'll never go back to anything that isn't Bravia. This system never goes above 70%volume and yet it sounds as if we're in a movie theater. It shakes the walls in my entire downstairs. This system is freaking awesome. Also the app makes things so simple. You can change EVERY setting right on your phone, no worrying about a slightly shaking hand throwing your current setting out of line. So simple and easy to use. The setup was also very easy- hang your speakers and use the QR code to get the app. Follow the directions to add your system and there you go. I got the 3 speakers and great sub with the recievers for under $900. Including the insurance for the next 4 years. That's a huge relief but also WHAT?! The system was like $699-i think? But either way it was an amazing deal and i will not only buy another when it comes, but i will and already have recommended this system. Thank you Best Buy

    This sound system is like having a movie theatre in your home, the sound is powerful and precise. Now my partner and I get so excited to watch movies! Music sounds incredible as well, deep bass with pleasing highs and mids. The unboxing experience was wonderful everything was packed neatly and the you could feel the overall quality of the system, nothing felt too light or flimsy. The app works well and you can even change it from Dolby atmos to Dolby digital if need be, and you can adjust the satellite speakers and bass. The shopping experience was great as well the Best Buy team member helped us pick out speaker stands and played with the demo for us. Couldn’t be happier!

    Wife wanted a sound bar for a cleaner look and I wanted a classic surround sound system. Happy medium product with rear (side) speakers. Sound is very bass heavy! The quality is okay for the price, but has some trouble with dialogue. Bass is good and subwoofer seems to be a proper size with the soundbar, even though it's a ported subwoofer. Voice zoom helps, but could probably benefit with a smaller center channel. I'm not a fan of sound bars in general though, being spoiled previously with a 7.1 system. The integration with a Bravia TV is awesome. Constantly turning on "night mode" when we are watching tv while the baby sleeps. This seems to cut down a lot of the bass tones. Using eARC to a Bravia TV was seamless. However standard eARC issues are still present, like changing the volume takes a second to process and will register multiple clicks at once in bulk. Overall good, voice zoom to max, bass to -1 is generally our base settings on this system.

    Do yourself a favor and skip over this surround set up. Wires everywhere for everything. Even the tech that came out couldnt believe how stupid this setup was. The satellite speakers are wired to a hub, the hub plugs into the wall. So you cant move the speakers too far from the hub. What makes it even worse is the soundbar sub wopfer combo. You have to have the soundbar plugged into the subwoofer with a wire. By the time you run the wire from the soundbar, behind the wall/tv. Youre left with maybe 3 feet. The wire is so short, i cant even get the subwoofer next to the tv. Nevermind anywhere else in the room. I will be returning this.

    Excellent sound - took some messing around with the app to get it just right, but it sounds awesome. We have an awkward room setup and not a traditional sound/speaker setup so I was skeptical that this would sound very good at all especially after using a stereo and speakers for many years.

    The system aounds amazing in the atore no doubt about it but there is a hitch. Like most people i keep my subwoofer hidden but you cant do that unless your hiding spot is 10' away. You need to connect the soundbar directly to the subwoofer with a cable that has a special connector. If it was plain old speaker wire no problem just spice it but when you look in to it you cant cut this wire or it becomes $700 junk. I dont know why would sony make the wire so short or make it that you cant splice it. I bought it on sale so i cant even return it. So now i have to find someone that will buy it off me or just let it collect dust. The salesman at the store hadd no answer for me as to why and could only apologize. Thanks bestbuy and sonyfor not thinking things through

      Hi JimboC,

      We are sorry to hear about the frustration caused by the subwoofer cable length. We understand that every room layout is different, and we appreciate your feedback regarding the proprietary connection.

      To ensure the best possible audio performance and signal integrity for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X content, this system utilizes a specific shielded connection. While the cable is fixed to maintain these standards, we recommend placing the subwoofer in a corner or near the front stage if possible to optimize the 5.1ch experience. If you require further technical assistance or have questions about your setup, please visit our support site: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support
