Great with Sony Bravia
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was late to the party understanding that Sony Bravia works seamlessly with a Sony sound bar. I am a fan of Yamaha and could not get my Bravia to cooperate. Caught this Sony bar and wireless woofer on open box deal and fell in love. Have in my large master bedroom with 54’ Bravia and the woofer on wall (15+ feet away) next to my bed. Super clear audio for speaking that doesn’t disturb anyone else at night and pleasant rumble on deeper bass sounds. My daughter says it’s surround sound effect is like being at movies! Solid performance for a mid price audio system.

Sound Value
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the money, which is relatively low in the sound bar world, it is a good value. If you’re looking for premium sound I’d spend more. But for casual tv/movie/sports etc watching this is better than your tv built ins by far.

Gets the job done
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted to punch up the sound of my Sony TV without the hassle of a separate AV receiver and 6+ speakers. My room is 15' x10' with 12 ft ceiling. I've read numerous reviews on high end soundbar/subwoofer combos that convinced me that that even they will never sound as good as a full home theater system. Also had read about wifi/Bluetooth connection problems with some if not the same brand as the TV. So I opted to go cheap and chose this one from Sony. I've got to say this is just what I was looking for. The subwoofer punches up the bottom end in action movies and even music nicely. Mind you this subwoofer is not anything near audiophile grade and the sounds can be a bit muddy, but there are easy adjustments to make voices/dialogue easier to hear. Connection of the soundbar to TV was under a minute with the HDMI cable, the sub connects to the bar automatically. Keep in mind the Sony TV's speakers already are of good quality for a TV but the soundbar's speakers arre ever so slightly better. For $180 on sale I am happy with this, I've since seen the price up to $300 and if that's true I wouldn't pay that for this. As long as you don't expect full home theater system performance this system is a nice upgrade for minimal $'s to plain TV sound.

Sony is still making top quality products that just sound fantastic to the ear. Setup in less than 5 minutes and linked my bluetooth and tv with no problems. The bass trembles the room and the mid-range and treble are crisp. This setup is incredible value for the price, would recommend to everyone.
