Happy with the purchase
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have been using the sound bar for a week now (installed on 12-25-2021). Still getting to know the various settings, and it is a huge improvement over the TV speakers! Have discovered that when watching TV, if we rewind the DVR too many times in a row, the sound bar loses the sound and we have to turn the sound bar off and then on again to retrieve connection for sound. Seems like there are times the volume increases of its own accord - seems to be mostly during commercials. Set up was relatively easy.

Posted .Hi WYO307, We are so glad to hear that you are happy with your purchase! Vertical Surround Engine, our advanced surround technology, lets you enjoy the thrill of the latest theater audio formats like Dolby Atmos/ DTS:X in a single slim unit. Its three front speakers, combined with unique Sony signal processing, reproduce "vertical" audio, creating virtual surround sound that seems to come from all around you. -Carl

Pretty Good - But Sony Can do Better
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Still trying to tweak this - bought to use with my Sony x850-series TV. Works great for most things, but some audio weirdness on a few channels (my wife loves Hallmark movies and the background music is just way overpowering on that channel). Would help if Sony provided some hints for appropriate settings to make TV and soundbar play nicely together. Sound quality for most uses is great, good soundstage and solid bass with wireless subwoofer. Overall I am happy and like the big sound, but I expected seamless compatibility between my Sony TV and my Sony soundbar - not quite there.

Solid purchase
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s loud, crisp and easily connects. I set this system up myself and paired with a Sony TV which automatically connected. This was a solid purchase for my living room. I love that I can connect to my tv but also to my phone via Bluetooth.

Good for the price!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the cost I think this is a great sound bar. When just casually watching tv I do wish the vocals were a bit louder and there’s no easy way to adjust sound settings. Music sounds amazing, way better than listening to tv or movies for some reason. Set up is really simple (idk why other reviewers had issues, it’s just 2 HDMI cables..). Unless you want to go all out and spend a bit more $ I think this is a great option!

Currently, pair with Sony TV KD-70X690E
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I picked up the Sony Soundbar on sale for Black Friday. Currently, pair with Sony TV KD-70X690E, and both work great together. I can't compare to any other Dolby Atmos Soundbar because I've never owned one. The elevation and immersive sounds are great but I'm sure it's not true Dolby Atmos with no up-forward-firing speaker. I was going to return it because I wanted to pick up a soundbar with the up forward-firing speaker but my wife loves the darn thing so much and the active Subwoofer makes the whole Soundbar to great to let go.

Good mid priced soundbar

Sound Quality is Fantastic. Subwoofer is a Must.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fantastic sound quality and works great for both music and for TV! Expect a lot of base from the subwoofer, though the sound from the soundbar itself is everything BUT the base. With that said, the subwoofer is a MUST. The one reason why I am giving this a 4 rather than 5 star, is because the subwoofer almost always has to be separately turned off itself. Turning on the soundbar does NOT turn on the subwoofer. Quite an annoyance that is an extremely easy fix, and is something I did not expect of Sony.

Perhaps the best I've owned
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been buying sound systems for a lot of years and this may be the best one yet. The highs are clear and the attack crisp enough to feel the finger plucks on a Segovia guitar piece. The mid range presents each instrument's individual notes distinctly. The "Immersive Audio Experience" allows you to pick out individual instruments in some bands, I am hearing new things on albums I've had for decades. And, of course, the subwoofer, positioned across the room from the sound bar, fills the room with rich and powerful base notes.

Best Atmos Value w Sony magic
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When you use Dolby Atmos on this bar you'll be glad you got this! It gets loud! I've had this for almost 2 years now and I'm astounded how clear the highs and miss can be while the sun can rumble the living room floor for that full cinematic experience! Will this compete with a fully discrete higher end system? No. However, at this price point it's sure to impress and will be hard to beat. Very happy. Compliments my QN90A very well. I do have some issues when using eArc dropping out and it seems to be fine wo it. Not sure what I may be losing out on there but to my ears at this price I still find it to be a great value
