Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have a 70" LG TV that is mounted over my fireplace. The distance between the base of the TV and the fireplace mantle was minimal, and I wasn't sure I could mount a soundbar without actually moving the TV bracket upward. So that was the very first HUGE benefit of this soundbar. It is extremely compact in both height and depth (at about 2/5" tall and 3.5" deep). The fit was great, but I could only buy it if I could switch it on while it was covering my IR Receiver on my TV. Here is where the second benefit comes in, and I'm not certain it is well understood. This unit comes with an "IR Repeater", which means once you activate it in the settings (after reading the manual), it will actually transmit the IR signal from your remote control through to your TV... even when it is covered by the soundbar! Check out the image I attached and you'll see just how tight the distance was which was solved by the IR Repeater. Now onto the quality of this unit. The soundbar itself is well-constructed and solid. It is quite versatile, compatible with Bluetooth, Optical, HDMI ARC, and more. I chose the HDMI ARC connection, which I find superior to Bluetooth as it does a great job on lip-synch, and allows full control using your TV remote. I was so pleased to find my LG TV was completely controllable using Sony soundbar functions! Finally, about the sound quality. You become immersed in theater-like sound. The bass is crisp and clear, and there is even a setting to allow voice dialogue to be brought more to the foreground. The upgrade from my built-in speakers on my TV was incredible. I highly recommend this soundbar. I purchased it while it was on sale at a $100.00 discount... and it was a steal!

This sound bar and subwoofer has GREAT quality. We use this in our game room with projector for movie theatre quality sound and it’s been fantastic for us. My daughter is noise sensitive so we haven’t even used this at max sound and it’s plenty loud at even just half max volume. Sound is crisp and clear especially for marvel movies (what we spend the most time on). The wireless subwoofer let us place it in another area of the room which gives more surround sound quality to the set. The bar is about the same size as our 32” tv and was easy to mount. Very easy to connect to our Bluetooth projector for quality sound every time. Highly recommend!

I’ve never understood the need to spend as much money on a soundbar and subwoofer setup as I did for my TV alone, and this little bar and woofer combo from Sony solidifies that standing opinion. With the Sound Field feature turned on, the sound and volume range of this bar absolutely decimates the TV’s speaker capabilities. The subwoofer produces clean, rich bass, especially when you’re watching a movie that can take advantage of all the bass frequencies. Here’s the crazy bonus I discovered: if you pair this setup with a Sony TV, then your factory Sony TV remote will operate the sound bar! When you install the sound system, the Sony TV auto detects the setup and overrides its own speakers. This means automatic control of your soundbar with the TV’s remote, and your TV’s speakers are deactivated, so you don’t experience any of that weird echo phenomenon! Also, when you turn power on your Sony TV, it automatically powers up the sound system. When you power off your Sony TV, it puts the soundbar into standby mode! As you can see in my pics, the little soundbar remote just stays up there on the mantle as a backup. Once you turn on Sound Field, that setting is saved. Just put your little soundbar remote someplace safe as a backup, because you won’t need it if using a Sony TV! This is a fantastic, value-minded setup.

It’s a great sound bar. I love the base and the additional volume. I wish it had a little more clarity at the louder volumes. Also can’t figure out how to get the battery cover back on the remote all the way. My son couldn’t even do it and he’s our resident techy. Other than that, I am competely happy with my purchase. I would buy it again

I’m very happy with this soundbar! The sound is clear, the bass is deep, and it really makes movies and music come alive. Setup took just a couple of minutes and everything works perfectly. The design is simple and elegant, fitting nicely into my living room. For this price, it’s an amazing value. Highly recommend to anyone who wants great sound without any hassle!

This soundbar is truly exceptional! The bass and volume quality are unmatched, delivering an immersive audio experience like no other. After meticulously testing at least 10 different soundbars, this one stood out as the ultimate choice. It’s a decision I’m thrilled with and would highly recommend to anyone seeking premium sound performance.

If you own a Bravia TV and want a solid entry level audio system, this is the one. Great sound, literal seamless connection, which allows use of only 1 remote. Plus, it is thin enough to fit under our TV, which gives an even cleaner look. Very happy with the purchase.

The system adds great depth in the room. As the action on screen heats up, the subwoofer adds a mellow rumble. And Bluetooth ability is terrific. P I am very pleased though I may have shaken a few pictures off the wall!

Sony HT-S400, and I’m genuinely impressed with what it delivers for the price. The sound quality is clear and immersive, with the wireless subwoofer adding deep, rich bass that brings movies and music to life. It’s perfect for enhancing TV audio without the hassle of a full surround system.

Easy to setup and gives much improvement with the sound quality of my 55 inch Sony!!! Just make sure you have a high speed HDMI cable (not included). Sounds like an IMAX movie theater.

I’ve had this system for a little less than a month and I am overall happy. The sound is great clear and has different modes so we can listen to it at anytime. Install was easy and set up was easier. The only gripe I had is sometimes it doesn’t automatically grab the source I need it to. Takes some playing with but it’s rare. For the price it’s worth it.

Fantastic, clear sound! Great bass. Had to turn bass down to -5 for our apartment, but it’s still very rich and clear! Once we move into a house, it will be more than enough bass for my wife and I!

Couldnt be happier with my Purchase! Sound quality is great, and being able to control the bass and enable night mode allows you to still enjoy it even in the late hours of the night. One thing to note is that the subwoofer sometimes produces this thump that tends to be louder than the volume its been set to. Its been pretty spontaneous but it isnt much of an issue if you pay it no mind. Another small thing about volume control is that its not nearly as fast or responsive as i would expect a soundbar to be. But again, if that wont bother you then this is a great purchase for either a bedroom or living room!

I was kinda worries anout the price (cheaper than many others) but after installing it which was sooo easy with my Sony TV, it sounds awesome! Also easy to connect to bluetooth so i can listen to Metalicca! Worth the price and ahipped right to my door!

The Sony HT-3400 2.1 ch soundbar and subwoofer has amazing sound quality and is extremely easy to install and connect to your tv! The quality is more than I expected for the price! I would recommend this product to anyone I know!

This amazing tv speaker surround sound fills like we are in a movie theater and it was affordable and we just love it, that’s why we always shop at Best Buy every item we get is so amazing! I will always recommend this store for the best deals and quality of products, I’ve gotten a 85 inch tv, freezer, PlayStation, 2 phones, Apple Watch, Amazon Echo, and so many other products from here! Great!!

I wanted a soundbar to go with my new tv. This sound bar was exactly what I was looking for and is louder than I thought it would be. I have to keep the base down because of our neighbors. It sounds like a mini movie theater. It does more then gets the job done. I definitely recommend if you’re looking for a more budget friendly sound bar!

The soundbar’s wireless subwoofer delivers deep and rich bass, making it perfect for watching movies or listening to music. The sound quality is impressive, with clear and detailed sound that fills the room. The soundbar features S-Force PRO Front Surround technology that creates a cinematic audio experience, making you feel like you’re in the middle of the action. Overall, the Sony HT-S400 2.1ch Soundbar is a great choice for anyone looking for a high-quality and affordable sound system. It is a great value for the price, and it will provide you with an immersive audio experience that you won’t forget anytime soon.

This is hands down the best purchase I have made this year. I am all smiles. The price was right in my price range. The staff knew exactly what I was looking for when I told them how much I had to spend they pointed me in the right direction. I would definitely recommend this product as well as the store. Very friendly and effective service. They even offered me water while I pay for my purchase. If you were looking for a great gift for the holidays or just because you wanna hear some nice tunes. This would be the perfect product to buy. Thank you to the whole Best Buy staff. You guys rock.

Very powerful and clear. Easy to connect. Works well with any tv that is not a Sony
