I would recommend this to a friendeverything has trade off's
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.which trade off's does one feel they can live with? I have tried 3 set up's recently and all 3 have their pluses and minuses. most lower cost sound bar systems seem to use lower quality speakers in the bar and, with simple sealed enclosures and use the sub to make up the difference. This system did great with quick bass (something the Bose bass module 500 does not do) drums, mid bass, maybe not rumble the floor sub bass but I would rather give up sub bass for harder hitting bass that this has. I had a hard time dealing with the holes in the frequency response and generally lower quality vocals and highs vs my Bose TV speaker. this system really hated the Halo video game (the title screen has some monks singing and you can barely hear them for some reason) but, with other music this system did great! watched the movie Drumline and it really did well with the drums. anything you would have at a party this does well to and it gets quite loud. you just have to try to make a educated choice and see what characteristics work best for you. this system might work very well for many.

Solid soundbar and subwoofer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is excellent. Setup was simple. I used the HDMi cable so the system can be controlled by the TV remote. The only complaint is the inconsistent volume when using different streaming apps. Not a deal breaker by any means. Just something to be aware of.

Posted .Hi ZahidS, thank you so much for the 5-star review! We're delighted to hear you're enjoying the excellent sound quality and found the setup with the Sony - HTS400 simple and seamless—especially with HDMI control through your TV remote.

Excellent sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound easy to install, but at leat once a month loose conextion with the TV (SONY) via Bluetooth, 3 years and still working fine. I will buy it again.

Posted .Hi LD69! It's fantastic to hear you're loving the sound and easy setup of your HT-S400! We really appreciate you sharing that great feedback and it's awesome that it's still going strong after three years.
We're sorry to hear about the occasional Bluetooth connection drops, though. Since you're running into that once a month, you might want to try using an HDMI cable instead of Bluetooth for the connection between your soundbar and your Sony TV.
Connecting with an HDMI cable, specifically the one labeled HDMI ARC on your TV and soundbar, often provides a more stable and higher-quality signal than Bluetooth.
If you'd still prefer to stick with the convenience of Bluetooth, our best recommendation to keep the connection steady is to make sure there aren't any other strong wireless devices (like routers, cordless phones, or microwaves) sitting right between the soundbar and the TV, as those can sometimes cause interference. Also, double-checking that both your TV and soundbar have the latest software updates can sometimes help improve Bluetooth stability!
Thanks for choosing Sony! We hope this helps.
Best regards,
Estefany
It's worth for the price
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a soundbar with subwoofer. And I came across this and because of my good experience with Sony in the past, after doing some basic research I bought this one. Didn't got disappointed. Depends on the content quality the output varies but for most of the contents the vocal quality and the bass effect in my experience is perfect for the price. Will recommend this one for anyone looking for a budget friendly soundbar with sub under $200

Great Sound Bar and Subwoofer to add to any TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great soundbar and Sub Woofer for any TV. We paired it with a 75" TCL and it integrated nicely. IT is basically plug and play and the wireless Sub Woofer paired right up out of box. This systems sounds better than my previous Sony 5.1 surround sound. I like the fact that the Bass can be adjusted separately from the main volume and has a nice Voice Clarifier mode.

Wonderful!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely love! I wanted a soundbar with some umph but didnt want to spend a lot. This is the PERFECT soundbar at an affordable price. The bass is great and the detail is amazing. I previewed a lot in the store and wanted to spend closer to 150 but decided to spend the extra 50 to get this instead of another and so glad i did that ! I would have regretted getting the other one for sure !

Sony Sound Bar
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound, good base, easy hookup and good looks
I would recommend this to a friendInexpensive, easy to set up and use.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very simple to set up. Not a lot of tweaking needed. Plug it in, connect to ARC/eARC port and ensure your TV recognizes it. Sound is really good for small spaces (office, den, bedroom, etc.). Very dependable and easy to use. For the price it's a great value. I bought two of these for two TVs in 12x12 rooms and they provide all the sound, clarity, and punch from the subwoofer you should need for that space.
