    Makes my TV the right sound and bass combo. For the price of the Sony surround sound system it’s worth every penny spend on it. Also the geek protection plan gives me covered so I can watch my shows the way I want to watch them with excellent sound at the control of my fingertips.

    Awesome sound for the price! Very clear and the subwoofer that it comes with is a big plus. I would highly recommend this.

    Sub cuts out/disconnects

    I have owned this for just under a year. For the price, quality is exceptional. I love the sound when it works together. Sound bar is connected via Optical. Every 2-5 minutes(no exaggeration) the subwoofer cuts out intermittently, green light blinks as an indication of attempted reconnection. I have followed Sony’s instructions to reset and ‘fix the issue’, however, does not fix the issue. Very irritating. Considering switching brands as I’ve had better experiences with less commonly known brands..

      Hi BaileyKilgore,

      Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we sincerely appreciate your kind words about the exceptional sound quality of the HT-S400 when it's performing as expected. We are genuinely sorry to hear about the frustrating issue you are experiencing with the intermittent subwoofer connection.

      We want to ensure you get the seamless, powerful sound you deserve. Since the basic reset has not resolved this persistent issue, we strongly recommend allowing our dedicated technical support team to conduct a more in-depth diagnostic. They have advanced tools and knowledge to explore potential wireless interference, firmware issues, or other factors that might be causing the subwoofer to drop its connection.

      Please contact our specialists through the link below so they can walk you through further, advanced troubleshooting and work towards a permanent solution:

      Thank you for considering Sony!

    Still a lag

    Sounds fantastic, but even though its connected to a Sony tv via optical cable, there is still a noticeable lag in the sound coming from soundbar vice the tv speakers. When connected via HDMI, the only way to control the volume is with the sound bar volume control (not the tv's) - which is a slight inconvenience because it requires a configuration change in the settings menu. Until they can fix the sound lag issue on all sound bars, I can only give a "good" rating.

    Frustrating pairing instructions

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Set up is always more complicated than one would expect, but the directions don’t provide any insight into needing to pair with certain streaming apps independent of pairing with the TV. That seems to be the only real downside. I did pair it with a Sony TV and that is certainly not intuitive. Sound quality is fine for the price, but if you are not technologically savvy be prepared for some installation pains.

    This is the perfect sound bar that is reasonably priced. The sound is clear with no cracking/scratchy echoing going on. If you put it on full blast, your house will vibrate lol

      Hi JessicaC! We're thrilled that your HT-S400 soundbar is delivering a true movie theater experience for you at home.

      The feeling of being immersed in the sound is due to our S-Force PRO Front Surround technology, which works to create that wide and cinematic audio field without needing extra speakers all around the room.

      Thanks so much for choosing Sony!
      Best regards,
