Humble option for modest taste
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.bought this JBL Soundbar for home , but unfortunately, my husband didn’t like it and so I returned it. While the sound was decent, he found it lacking in bass and overall depth compared to what he was expecting. It’s a good budget option if you’re looking for basic sound improvement, but for someone who really loves great sound quality, it didn’t quite cut it. The return was easy, though, so no issues there.

We're glad to hear your HT-S400 sounds great! It's common for acoustics to change when a soundbar is wall-mounted versus placed on a stand, as surfaces affect how sound reflects in the room. We appreciate you sharing that observation!
Thanks for choosing Sony.

Sony sound bar
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Provides great sound, easy to use. Pugged in and it worked.
I would recommend this to a friendNice sound system for the price.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for something to enhance the Sony tv sound for a 14x14 room and didn’t want to spend a lot. The Sony soundbar and sub woofer fit the need pretty well. Nice bar for smaller room, great bass as well well. I would search for something more robust for a larger room.

||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This sound bar is good for small to medium size rooms. It's only two channels so don't expect it to fill a room. However the subwoofer is really good. It provides plenty of bass (like movie theatre bass).

Theater Sound!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best investment I have made because this makes my living room replicate a theater! Very crisp sound, very clear with vocals when listening to music. If I could rate this higher than 5 stars, it would be easily a 6!

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
Great sound bar the money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.very happy with this purchase. I totally recommend adding this to your home theater. Sound quality is great and you can actually feel the base in our living room from the subwoofer. My last sound bar was a Bose and I like this one better.

Good value
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the money I think it’s a great. Subwoofer is more than enough (tucked into the corner of the room for added effect). Soundbar could be better in terms of sound output but for the price it’s okay(I know the wattage is low).

Great affordable sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound for the price. Gets the job done. Easy set up.
I would recommend this to a friendMuch better than TV speakers once it was setup
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds great once I got it working. I have a 2017 Sony Bravia tv that has an HDMI/ARC port but it took a lot of playing with settings to get it to work right and I still had to connect the optical connection. But now I can control the soundbar and the tv with just the tv remote. One big challenge was to reduce the audio latency so it was not noticeable, which again took a lot of playing with settings. I think this is the problem with my older tv, not the soundbar, although I have seen reviews where the latency on this model is not great. One really great surprise feature is that there is an IR blaster built in, which is a good thing since the soundbar blocks the IR receiver on the tv. I might have gone with the Roku pro soundbar, that was my second choice.
