Issues with this sound bar…going back!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This sounds bar sounds great and was easy to setup, unfortunately it constantly drops out of TV mode into BT pairing mode randomly. Sony tech support tried to update firmware to latest version but it failed each time.

I would recommend this to a friendNot good sound quality and not adjustable
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Poor sound quality and not very adjustable. The sound bar sounded very dull and had no way to adjust the bass, mid and treble separately. I ended up returning this and going with a JBL SB 550

||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was excited to get this sound bar, however I am disappointed in the sound! We have the volume up to 54 and the sound is still low! Thinking about returning it! It was easy to set-up!
No, I would not recommend this to a friendCant get the sound i want
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A little disappointed that I’m having trouble getting the sony sound bar to work the way i want with a sony tv. Connected using the HDMI cable, the sound is low and i have to increase volume up to 50 to get a comfortable level. Then tried Bluetooth but if I remember correctly you had to use the sound bar volume control . Not happy with the sony partnership of these two products. I usually buy Samsung products.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendMeh
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had to use optical because i didnt want to give up my eArc port which is also my hdmi 2.1 port. Witeless with Bravia TV isnt in sync with the tv. Also this bar is limited on its audio codecs.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendSONY Soundbar/SONY TV = A Listening Experience
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm impressed by the listening experience. If you're considering adding a soundbar, just do it. This was the perfect choice for my SONY TV, and it was a great value!
I would recommend this to a friendMediocre overall audio performance
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Performance commensurate with the sale price, but not worth full SRP + Strong bass. + Minimal (though discernible) dialog sync issues - No voice sync adjustment - Lacks treble and any control to adjust treble. - No volume leveling while maintaining standard equalization. Night mode also applies special equalization (reduced bass) - Can't turn LED display - distracting. I'll look for another sound bar and would not recommend this one to others. -

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's ok. Sound could be clearer and the Sound Speaker. Surround sound is not as good as we expected.

||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Subwoofer started sounding distorted and wasn’t working very well after a month of purchase. I would not recommend this. I may have purchased a device that was defective but honestly you can find better.

Posted .Hello BREANAC,
Thank you for considering Sony products.
We sincerely apologize that you're experiencing issues with the subwoofer on your HT-S400 soundbar. That's definitely not the quality experience we want you to have, and we're here to help get it resolved.
To help fix this, please try the following:

2. Reset and re-link your subwoofer:
Hold the power and volume (–) buttons on the soundbar for 5+ seconds until you see “[RESET]” on the display. Then unplug and plug back in the power cord.
After that, manually re-link the subwoofer by following the steps in the manual here:

||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Could not be more impressed with this bar/woofer combo. Absolutely fills the room at less than half volume, crystal clear and tons of bass to round it all out.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price it performs very well. There is some distortion at higher volume levels but it depends on the channel, movie, or show.
