    I’ve tested multiple brands, but this one stands out for its balanced sound and rich bass. This is hands-down the best soundbar I’ve ever owned! The sound quality is phenomenal—crystal-clear dialogue, powerful bass, and immersive surround effects that make every movie feel like a theater experience. The sleek design fits perfectly under my TV, and setup was effortless with HDMI ARC. Wireless streaming works flawlessly, and the included subwoofer adds incredible depth. For the price, it outperforms many high-end systems. Highly recommend!

    This little guy made a huge difference! I set this up for a non technically inclined familiar member and it was pretty straight forward since the TV we were using it on had an arc connection. An arc connection makes it a breeze IMO because you can use your existing cable remote or television remote instead of having to always reach for an additional remote for volume, power, etc. This soundbar also has an optical connection you can use if you do not have an arc HDMI connection on your television. Before setting this up the sound from the Samsung TV was very tinny and the speakers on the TV were pretty much blown out from years of use and the bass especially was very irritating. At first after setting it up I was worried because it didn't sound good, but in addition to setting up the exterior speaker on the Samsung's sound menu I actually had to also hit the "reset sound" option because for some reason it sounded bad before that. Once I luckily figured that out we were off to the running and the thing sounds great. It's a huge improvement not just in sound quality but also with nice bass and most importantly a vastly improved voice performance as this sound bar was developed with a an extra center channel specifically for voice enhancement. Music sounds great and the voice is extremely clear and it really fills up a larger size room. We didn't opt to get the additional subwoofer at this point in time since we have the bass level to 3 (Max level on this device) and like mentioned above it packs enough punch. I was able to purchase this on a great Best Buy promotion that was taking 200 dollars off but even at full price it's a quality item from a quality brand that you could trust. I prefer Sony over most of these newer brands since I have never had issues with their products. So to reiterate, this soundbar is an extremely excellent addition to your viewing experience and I'm even thinking of purchasing another for a different TV and maybe the wireless subwoofer as well. Also one last thing, the soundbar feels like quality too, heavy and and built nicely. It has a Led notification description on the front. It comes with an HDMI cable to connect to your Arc HDMI port. It does not come with an optical cable if you need that for your setup you will have to purchase it separately.

      Hi Mpatel,

      We're so glad to hear you're enjoying your HT-S2000 soundbar and its sound quality. You've hit on a great point, unlocking its full potential often comes down to making those fine-tuned adjustments. For a more detailed guide on all the remote's functions and how to optimize your settings, we recommend checking out the full help guide or the "Sony | Home Entertainment Connect" app, which provides an intuitive interface for all the settings.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

    This all in one, soundbar works fine for regular tv viewing and listening to music in our living room. Unfortunately, the app to control by cell phone is difficult to connect to after multiple tries of removing app and reinstalling so just use the remote provided with the soundbar.

      Hi FrancisL,

      We are glad to hear that the HT-S2000 soundbar is performing well for your regular TV viewing and music listening in your living room, but we sincerely apologize for the frustration you are experiencing with the Sony | BRAVIA Connect app connectivity. This issue can often be resolved by ensuring your soundbar’s software is updated to the latest version and by deleting the soundbar’s Bluetooth information (which may appear as "LE_xxxxx") from your phone's Bluetooth settings before attempting to connect again via the app. Since the app is required to unlock full functionality and the latest features, we recommend trying a full power cycle of both the soundbar and your Wi-Fi router, then attempting to connect through the app while your phone is close to the soundbar.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

      Best regards, Eliab Sony_US

    I had a sound bar from another major company, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say the name here. But this soundbar definitely blows the other one away. This soundbar can get much loader and still be much clearer than the other soundbar. I really didn't think that this sound bar would sound as good as it does. And on my Sony Bravia TV that I also purchased at Best Buy, It's the Sony 75 inch X90L model., I can use the TV's remote to control everything, the TV and the sound bar. You may want to play around with the sound settings on the TV to get the sound bar to sound perfect like you'd want it, but once you do, you will be impressed.

    I bought this back in October 2023 and it’s an amazing sound bar It’s great for watching movies or listening to music. it has a good amount of bass even without a dedicated subwoofer. Also, Dolby atmos is great for watching movies. It’s a good bang for your buck and another great audio product from Sony!!

    I think this sound bar has excellent sound quality as a standalone option. For tv , sports and movies it seems very good. It has direct compatibility with the new Sony tv with the specific arc link. The one issue so far has been the xfinity remote seems to disable the automatic startup of the soundbar while the Sony remote doesn’t cause that. It’s difficult navigating to the control to reactivate the external speakers in the sound field in settings.

    The Sony Atmos SoundBar works really well with the Sony TV. But the best thing we did was have the Best Buy Geeks install the MantelMount, TV, and SoundBar for us. It was very tricky and we were happy to have the experts do the work for us. They were polite, on-time, and knew the products.

    I recently purchased a Sony Bravia x90l and wanted to upgrade my sound bar also (previously had the H-S100F) which actually sounds a bit louder than my s2000. Recently went to a friends house and help setup their Samsung b550 and love how it sounds so i will be going back to exchange. I do feel if i would’ve added a subwoofer and rear speakers i would’ve gotten the full immersive sound, i just don’t want to pay the extra money. I did like the sound field option that might’ve been it.
