Eh, not happy with design
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It sounds great at the store, I ended up not setting it up in my house because of the 2 hdmi connections, on opposite sides. That would have messed up my cable arrangements from all my TV connections. Why couldn’t have Sony made it with one HDMI for it work instead of one in and one out.

Sony soundbar atmos??
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.not sure how they consider this an "atmos" soundbar, it doesnt have height speakers, there are 3 speakers in the bar! sound quality is good overall and better than the TV speakers. sub is good, no issues with wireless connecting or staying connected. overall decent soundbar but labeling it atmos is a bit much.
