    Geat sound bar! I was impressed with the sound level. It works great in my large master bedroom, I was surprised with the amount of bass it has. Just make sure you place the sub somewhere along the wall that the tv is on because some of the voices come out of the sub and will create an echo if placed to the side or behind your listing position. Overall geat little package for a small apartment or a medium to large bedroom.

    Best investment I have made because this makes my living room replicate a theater! Very crisp sound, very clear with vocals when listening to music. If I could rate this higher than 5 stars, it would be easily a 6!

    Comparing it to Bose 900

    I have Bose 900 sound bar with 700 woofer: then I bought HT-400 at 1/8 the cost for another home. I am so amazed at stunning bass and excellent sound quality especially for streaming music. Yes it does not have ATMOS and other fancy sound effects but it will definitely work for whatever you need it for. At this price, it is a steal.

      Hi Cbandzzz,

      It’s rewarding to hear that you’ve chosen the HT-S400 for a second time to power your home audio experience!

      There is no higher compliment than a returning customer. We take great pride in the durability and consistent performance of our soundbars, and it is wonderful to know your first unit served you so well for over two years. The HT-S400 is designed for seamless integration, and we are glad the auto-sync feature and the powerful bass from the wireless subwoofer continue to make your setup effortless and immersive. Knowing that the sound quality remains "amazing" to your ears is exactly what we strive for.

      We really appreciate you being part of the Sony family.

      Regards,
      Dominick Sony_US

    The Sony HT-400 is an affordable soundbar that delivers clear dialogue and solid overall sound, offering a significant improvement over standard TV speakers. It features multiple connectivity options, including HDMI ARC and Bluetooth, but lacks deep bass and advanced features. Ideal for users seeking budget-friendly, easy-to-setup audio enhancement.

    This is my second Sony Sound Bar (my first one lasting 8-years OUTSIDE) I have this sound bar installed under a water proof deck exposed to the hot and cold extremes. With that said, the sound from the bar is very loud and the bass is phenomenal. I Bluetooth this to my iPhone and works seamlessly. The include remote works well too.

    Excellent sound bar. With good bass and very good connectivity. The weak point of the product is that you can't equalize the sound, but Sony left the default settings very well balanced. . You can connect it via Bluetooth, optical and the recommended one, HDMI.

    This sound bar is sleek looking and has amazing sound quality! The subwoofer provides plenty of bass and compliments the bar itself perfectly. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a quality product at a great price. I can have this playing music from my phone inside and hear it clearly outside without being turned up too high.
