Moved from traditional 7.1 and very happy
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Moving away from hardwired 7.1 system and so glad I purchased this product over others I have heard. I did purchase with the subwoofer and wireless rear speakers and subwoofer. the only downside is the weight. It was too heavy for the universal mounting system I purchased.

Soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This bar is ridiculous. Speakers fire straight, out the sides and UP! Nice simple setup, install and remote. Add it to the TV and you don't have to go to the theater again. Nice solid black build, if it's right under the TV you can't even notice it.

Great sound but get a subwoofer too
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound! But you have to get the subwoofer too. I did not get the additional speakers though. I think I'm good with what I got.

Outstanding sound at a price.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We chose the Sony 7.1.2 sound bar over the Sonos ARC and Bose 900. We felt that the sound quality especially with Atmos was a notch above the others. We also purchased the wireless subwoofer and rear speakers. Once we tweaked the system to our environment, I can say it was the right decision. We did have some trouble with the wireless speakers stuttering but switching the soundbar parameters to 'Connection' versus 'Quality' corrected the problem. The built-in setup routine is ok but we had better luck tweaking the sound manually. The surround effect is exceptional for newer shows, but even older media is improved. The voices are very clear, and the room fills with rich distinct sound. The system would have gotten 5 stars if it wasn't so expensive. It's pricey, but we can honestly say that this is the best sounding system we have ever had.

Great Sound Bar
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This sound bar is easy to set up and provides superb sound. Go through the easy set up and then cue up "Master and Commander" on your DVD player. You will want to duck for cover. It is very heavy so you won't want to plan on moving it frequently.

Almost perfect
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I live in a rental and this soundbar is perfect for my set up. I didn’t want to buy the rears because I wouldn’t be able to place them anywhere my wife would approve. And didn’t want to buy the sub because, neighbors. Honestly, even by itself it does a pretty decent job. And sometimes it even manages to surprise me as the sound can be truly immersive with a very wide soundstage. I rated it 4 starts instead of 5 because this won’t replace an audio system with dedicated speakers. There hasn’t been a single instance where I thought the sound was coming from behind me or above me. But if you don’t have such expectations, this sound bar is perfect. Keep in mind that you will most likely need to play with the sound settings to get the best out of it. But if you refer online forums, you should find the settings that will work for your environment.

simple
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While pricey, one of the better soundbars out there if you pair it with the 10inch sub and surrounds. It's overpriced, but with a Sony TV it's simple and for the room it's in it worked great for us.

Great with the Subwoofer
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a very good sound bar as long as you have the wireless subwoofer. Thin sounding even in a small room without it. Great sound for a sound bar but it's odd that Sony has already discontinued it after only a year. The previous Sony flagship sound bar the HT-Z9 was current for several years.
