Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy set-up plug and play. Sub automatically connects. Sounds good. Looks good.

Sound is great! However, it seems it’s only wall mountable or stand alone, rather than mountable to a TV or specifically a pull down TV mount. We had to rig up something to our TV mount bracket in order to attach it under TV. I didn’t want it taking up mantle space, so this was the fix. Had to be mindful that all the function buttons are on top of the soundbar, so had to leave a pretty decent width of space to get to them in the event we lost remote or something. But, it worked. We are enjoying that it isn’t taking mantle space and it pulls down with our TV down over our mantle. And enjoying the great sound.

The Sony HT-S400 2.1ch Soundbar with a powerful wireless subwoofer is a compact audio solution designed to enhance your home entertainment experience. As an avid cinephile and music lover, I recently had the opportunity to test this soundbar, and I must say it delivers a significant audio upgrade compared to built-in TV speakers. Design and Build Quality: The HT-S400 boasts a sleek and minimalist design that seamlessly integrates into any home theater setup. The soundbar is compact, making it suitable for various room sizes, and the wireless subwoofer adds a touch of versatility by allowing flexible placement. The build quality is solid, and the overall aesthetics are modern and unobtrusive. Audio Performance: One of the standout features of the HT-S400 is its audio performance. The 2.1 channel configuration, coupled with the wireless subwoofer, produces a balanced and immersive soundstage. Whether you're watching movies, playing games, or streaming music, the soundbar delivers clear dialogue, crisp highs, and a surprisingly robust low end. The wireless subwoofer, in particular, adds depth to the audio, making explosions and bass-heavy music genres more impactful. Wireless Connectivity: The inclusion of a wireless subwoofer not only contributes to a cleaner setup but also provides flexibility in subwoofer placement for optimal bass response. The soundbar itself supports Bluetooth connectivity, allowing you to wirelessly stream music from your smartphone or other compatible devices. This feature adds a layer of convenience, making it easy to enjoy your favorite tunes without the need for additional cables.

Easy set up, great sound and good price. We can now hear the TV.

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.

We love this soundbar setup! The subwoofer is nice and has strong bass. Different modes that allow best experience for gaming, movies, and music. Bluetooth setting for phones too!

I like it. Easy to use and sounds amazing. The base unit is absolutely worth the extra space. Like night and day compared to the non base unit.

I purchased this to improve the sound of my sony bravia tv. Its setup is easy and the sound is very good. Not as good as an expensive home theatre but well worth the money. I also have a 2.0 soundbar on another sony bravia tv that doesn’t have a sub woofer and this with the subwoofer is definitely better sound especially when playing music

I liked the sound. It was very clear and loud went perfectly with my 75 inch tv. It made the game sound amazing when we watched it and felt like I was in a movie theater. It was adjustable to be any volume you prefer and still sounded nice at any volume.

This soundbar has connected seamlessly with my Sony TV, and the sound has been pretty swell all things considered. Sometimes the bass is lacking but overall a great product.

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

Works and sounds great for living room easy to hook up and sounds great would recommend

Very easy to set up and can quickly switch between TV and Bluetooth (turntable/phone) Sound quality is amazing for the price (better than a TV speakers but obviously not as good as a full surround sound system)

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.

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 !

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.

Good sound, easy hookup and an overall great deal on sale. Gotta love this sound bar/subwoofer combination!

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.

Excellent sound, good base, easy hookup and good looks

This is the first sound bar I’ve ever purchased, but combined with my new Bravia tv it’s turned my living room into an incredible theatrical experience! The settings and features allow you to tailor your sound to be totally immersive without needing to be loud, which is nice because I’m usually watching tv after everyone in my house has gone to bed, not having to sacrifice sound quality for volume is amazing.
