Decent Soundbar, Good Bass
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This soundbar produces great bass and clarity for the money. I bought it because it comes with acoustic center sync for Dolby Atmos pairing with Sony Bravia TVs. Make sure you get a wide tv stand it barely fits in front of the feet on the X90L.

Soundbar does not disappoint
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound quality and love the upward firing speakers. They really do change the dynamic of the sound, especially when watching movies. One thing to note is this soundbar is large (see photo comparing this to my old sony bar). If space is limited measure it out first to be certain.

sounds great in a small room using a subwoofer.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When we had it connected to our Hitachi 50c61 we were getting occasional sound drop. We unplugged a WII and sound was better. when we upgraded to a Sony xr-50x50j it was recognized by the tv during the setup and now let's us use the true Dolby sound
