    I have owned several sound bars before this Sony. Each of the ones I owned before this or more expensive. Despite the cost differences though, I would say this Sony falls right in the middle. That is actually very high praise considering one of them was pretty much top-of-the-line. This Sony does not beat that one, but I would not have expected it to. However it did beat out the other one I had which was several hundred dollars more. I found set up to be a very simple process, not just for someone who has had sound bars before. It’s much simpler than other types of speaker options since you really just place it in front of your TV, connect and go. What really blew me away with this particular sound bar though was the excellent sound quality, particularly at this price point. The bass module adds a good amount of depth to the overall sound and I have to say, it was a little shocking to me that I enjoyed the sound so much on this. It’s immersive and felt like it filled the whole room. I have a fairly small family room where my tv is located, so maybe that contributes. I can’t say for sure how this would work in a larger space but I would guess it is still pretty impressive. I think Bluetooth is fairly standard these days on most sound bars, but I still think it’s worth mentioning here. I especially appreciate that you can connect the bass module wirelessly, which gives you far more options on where to place it. This is a great product at a pretty great price. Definitely recommend.

    Small footprint, big sound

    I was very impressed with this sound bar! The footprint is fairly compact, even the wireless subwoofer can be hidden away due to its compact design. The sound bar itself has a nice clean look, very basic controls on the unit and the remote control. The remote can be a little frustrating as the buttons are kind of squishy, but they are a soft rubber and the sound bar can be programmed to change volume with your TV remote. The sound is pretty good for movies and great for everyday TV shows! I believe it would be perfect for a bedroom or small to mid-sized living room, but anything too open and you'll lose sound quality further away. The setup is very easy, you can use the included optical cable or the ARC HDMI from your TV! The latter being the preferred method because you can use your TV's remote to change the volume to simply the system even further. The sound bar also has Bluetooth to connect your phone or computer, and the wireless subwoofer connected without any issues. All we had to do was plug the HDMI into the TV and sound bar, plug into the outlet, and it was ready to go! Overall, this is an excellent choice for someone who is looking for a clean, simple setup for adding good sound to their TV!

    Great soundbar for spare room or elderly parents

    Unlike a lot of modern sound bars with dtsx or Atmos, this is a fairly barebones soundbar… but that’s the beauty of it. I set this up in my elderly mother’s room. She gets easily confused with the 7.4.2 system in my living room, and really just wants something that makes her bedroom tv sound better. This was really simple to set up, and is easy for her to use. The soundbar, an appletv, and the tv. The soundbar fits perfectly under her tv, and not too big. Everything is easy peasy to use. Audio is crisp, and dialog seems to get extra attention from the processing algorithm, so conversations are easy to follow. The wireless subwoofer is the perfect size to place near a bedside table. It’s more than enough LFE for my mother, but I was able to get some pretty decent bass out of it before it started to warble. For the price, it’s impressive. TL;DR… if you are looking for a main sound system to rattle the walls, this isn’t it. It’s not even trying to be. This is the perfect soundbar for a spare bedroom or elderly parent who just wants something better than the 5w speakers in the average tv.
