Good but there are better, cheaper alternatives
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased an open box one and the unit apparently had defective LED front panel - that thing was very temperamental sometimes it’s lit up but then after 15mins or so it’d froze (the front display) and would just completely disappear after power recycle. I didn’t want to deal with the hassle of dealing with warranty so I just returned it to BestBuy. But my review here is for the sound - because the sound works just fine despite the front display glitch. I find the dialogue in movies to be slightly under powered- it’s a little hard to make out the dialogue compared to a Bose soundbar. The Sony 360 music is so great but that format is not common. The midrange on the Sony is more expansive than the Bose. Unfortunately the dialogue mode in Sony is not as good as the one in Bose hence I went with Bose. It’s too bad since I have Sony TV (though one that doesn’t have S-Center support). Perhaps if paired with a higher end Sony TV with S-Center support the end result for dialogue clarity will be different?

Great sound, a little big and heavy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.World class sound, but a bit pricey and large. If setting in front of a tv on a tv stand it may block a bit of the bottom of the screen so be aware.

Open Box Excellent - Received in Bubble Wrap
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I ordered an open box excellent condition for a good price, but was really surprised to receive it in a bubble wrap. If BestBuy have changed their open box polices then it should be reflected on open box item page correctly. I was too worried and returned the package as it was to the store. As for the soundbar, I have heard it at a friends place and it's really good if not the best. Hence I would recommend this product if found in good condition/new.
