Simple soundbar for 55in TV or smaller
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy Bravia sync with Sony TV. No preset sound modes. 1 surround option, front facing speakers bring solid Dolby Digital crisp clarity. Comes with an optical cable. Bluetooth communication is good and does not disconnect to subwoofer. The sale price of $200 at time of purchase was very resonable for the performance.
I would recommend this to a friendAn ok sound bar
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own multiple Sony TVs and have a strong affinity for the brand. I was eagerly anticipating setting up this particular TV for a movie night. After configuring the sound settings and making adjustments, I was disappointed to find that the sound was still too low, even at higher volume levels. Ultimately, I found that the Vizio sound bar not only worked but also delivered a significantly better audio experience. This experience left me disappointed with my Sony TV's sound quality.

I would recommend this to a friendGreat sound
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound although be aware that it comes with optical connection and not HDMI. I had this installed by Best Buy and was told during the install that if it had a HDMI cable instead of optical, they could have synched the soundbar to my Samsung 32" remote. So now I have 2 remotes to deal with which I try to stay away from.

Posted .Hi leopold,
We’re sorry to hear about the audio delay you’re experiencing with your HT-S400 and optical connection. To fix this, we recommend adjusting the A/V Sync settings in the soundbar’s menu or your TV’s audio settings to align the timing, and also ensuring your TV's digital output is set to PCM or Auto for the fastest signal processing.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab

Posted .Hi VetOfAirForce,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the HT-S400! We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying that deep bass, but we’re sorry the overall sound quality hasn't quite hit the mark for you yet.
We want to make sure you're getting the best experience possible, so we’d love for you to try these quick steps to see if they sharpen things up:
-For the best audio quality, use a wired connection (preferably HDMI ARC/eARC if your TV has it) and set your TV’s digital audio output to PCM.
-Ensure both your TV and soundbar have the latest firmware updates installed. https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/sound-bars-home-theater-systems-sound-bars-surround-speakers/ht-s400/software/00278020
-Experiment with the soundbar’s built-in sound modes, such as “Voice” or “Sound Field,” to see which one sounds best in your room.
Hopefully, these changes help clear up the audio so you can fully enjoy your new setup!
Thanks for considering Sony and sharing your feedback.
Warm regards,
Estefany

I would recommend this to a friendIt's ok
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's okay, definitely better than most TV speakers. I would recommend it for people that live in apartments but if you don't need to worry about making your neighbors mad, you can find much better products for a similar price.

Posted .Hi BigCheese,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on the HT-S400 soundbar. We appreciate your honest review and are happy to hear that it's a significant improvement over your TV's built-in speakers.
We understand your point about the volume and we're glad you find it suitable for apartment living. For those moments when you do want to enjoy a fuller sound experience without disturbing the neighbors, we encourage you to explore the "Voice" and "Night" modes.
The "Voice" mode enhances dialogue, making it clearer, while the "Night" mode reduces the intensity of loud sounds, allowing you to enjoy movies and music at a lower volume without missing any of the details.
Thanks for considering Sony. We're always working to create products that fit a variety of needs and lifestyles and your feedback is invaluable in that process.
Sincerely,
Estefany
