This sound bar combo will work with any TV with either a HDMI ARC once cable or optical connection, but if you have a Sony BRAVIA TV it will receive audio wirelessly to reduce cable confusion! I have a Sony BRAVIA TV and I can say the wireless connection is flawless with zero lag, and the sound bar settings appear in the TV sound settings! It also features Bluetooth connectivity for audio streaming. The sound bar has HQ Dolby Digital with S-Force PRO front Surround that really makes you feel like you’re in the middle of the action. The front speakers are called “X-Balanced” and are rectangular to maximize the output. The wireless subwoofer has a 160mm speaker and which provides a deep bass sound. The remote is compact and has dedicated buttons for volume, sound settings, input, bass, mute and power. The sound bar gives you the additional choice of a “voice” setting for clearer speech, a “night mode” which lowers the volume/bass and “Sound Field” which converts stereo audio into surround. And the sound bar has an OLED display that gives feedback on the remote-control functions. And this is the only sound bar I’ve had that has a completely flat back so you can flush mount it to a wall. This is a really great unit for those with limited...or unlimited space that just want great sound!

soared above expectations for a sound bar with no Dolby Atmos honestly this is such a solid sound bar you don't even notice its gone and the bass quality is insane.

Solid performance for under $300. Easy installation, great instructions. Great deal...

Easy set up with killer sound. Wireless subwoofer and BOOMS. Took 15 minutes to set up to our TV. Sound bard produces loud clear sound and a great replacement for a full room surround sound. Inexpensive

This is probably the most basic sound bar I've had, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. One of the limiting factors that may make this one less attractive is the lack of inputs. This soundbar is designed to work through HDMI ARC mainly but also includes an optical input. If you need a coax digital input or analog input, this is not the hardware for you. Be sure your TV supports ARC before moving forward! There is also bluetooth connectivity. I set up my laptop through BT and was impressed at how accurate lip sync is. There was no latency that I was able to observe, making this ideal for improving the sound from BT devices. Latency may vary by type of device though. The remote is very basic but feels sturdy. The bar offers very basic sound functionality and there are buttons to turn on a virtual surround mode, boost voices and to turn on night mode, which mellows out the sound a bit. You can also adjust the level of the wireless subwoofer. I keep confusing the rocker switch for the sub with the volume, which is actually mapped to the large circular button on the remote. There are otherwise no other tone controls. The main speaker can be flush-mounted to the wall. There is no hardware included, but there are two "Keyholes" on back that simply slip over the top of a screw head, so nothing exotic is needed other than a couple sturdy screws into studs. The overall look is sleek and clean. There is a small display on front under the grill that shows the mode or input briefly then disappears and is not distracting. The subwoofer is slightly larger than I thought it would be and has a matching appearance. At first I wasn't too impressed with the bass but found that it improved with different placement. Be sure to try it in different places for the best sound. One way to do it is to put the sub in your viewing position (i.e. on your chair) and then wander around the room until it sounds good to you. That's the spot you should place it. I wouldn't recommend this for a serious home theater setup, but this is ideal for basic use if your TV doesn't have great sound on its own.

Sounds great and easy set up! Really makes a difference when watching movies and sports

Easy to use great and Pretty decent sound from both subwoofer and sound bar

Easy setup. Great sound! We used order pickup which was super convenient.

Good value for an entry level sound bar. Don’t expect much from the low powered subwoofer. Very easy and simple to set up.

Great sound and easy to set up the sound bar and the subwoofer.

I love this sound bar. It's loud, the base is deep and looks good.

It's better than Nothing. It was decent sound for a Lower End Sony Sound Bar. Entry Level? Since HDTV's don't really have any Volume forcing you to buy a Sound Bar. I could Not get it to Pair with TV Volume. Always had to use Sony Remote to adjust volume as Opposed to the Cable Remote. 2 remotes is annoying. Which was also Annoying because I had a Sony TV I was using it with. (You would think they would Pair) Apparently there's no HDMI on the HT-S400 and you need that to use with the ARC HDMI on TV, I think. Anyway I bought the next one up on the Sony food chain when it was on sale and now new one Pairs with TV remote by using HDMI cable frpm bar to tv.

I enjoy this speaker system for our TV. I am older and having some hearing issues. My biggest beef is you have to tweak around with the settings to get the voices clearer. The good news is it can be done. It's an improvement over the TV speakers on my fairly new TV.

The performance is decent but I have a hard time distinguishing the vocal track in my favorite show, Billions. Many of the actors have deep/timbered voices and even the 'voice mode' for this soundbar doesn't provide a good experience. Despite that, the sound is of course an improvement over the built-in speakers of my Samsung TV, so it is a welcome addition. Music sounds great and there's plenty of bass from the subwoofer. However, installation is hampered by the far-too-short electrical cords. I had to get an extension to simply reach from the top of my dresser down to the floor where my outlet is. This is an area of improvement that may leave people simply unable to use the setup altogether. As my TV doesn't have HDMI ARC capabilities, I'm running off the *included* (very nice!) TOSLINK (aka Optical Audio) cable for my setup. No issues here.

Great little subwoofer for cinema effects but the crossover from soundbar to sub might be a tad too high. l find that the voice mode isn't enough to compensate for the midrange deficiencies even with the bass turned right down to the minimum. Overall, an improvement over my TV's built-in sound for effects and stage size but, for content with a lot of dialog, voices are more easily understood via the TV's built-in speaker system. I didn't find better soundbar and sub for the same low price. TV: Sony X90L Age of Ears: 64 Reference cinema speakers: Harbeth P3ESR/Yamaha YST-SW315 sub.

Delivery was very quick. Great sound. Very easy to install.

Solid sound bar and subwoofer. Nothing fancy but does the job. Hits the sweet spot between value and performance

We replaced an older Bose speaker with the Sony World of difference most likely from development of new tech

Great sound for games and movies. This was a great present i received .

Excellent sound, consistent reliable Bluetooth connection, and decent variety of sound options. Would recommend.
