Great bang for the buck!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound and output quality. The only thing I would change is adding a “mid” range eq option to go along with the existing “treble” and “bass” eq options. Overall, though, great product!!

Glad i bought it
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is lower than the television I purchased, but the sound is clearer, crispier than the TV. If i used the original TV sound it would echo in my room, this really cleaned that up, and the bass really makes me feel like i am in the theater(small room)

Good not great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good soundbar for price. Only negative is subwoofer needs to be +3 volume to get good base on most content

Posted .Thank you for sharing your feedback on the HT-S400, Rj25. We're pleased to hear you find it a good value for the price.
Regarding your observation about the subwoofer: subwoofers are designed to reproduce low-frequency bass sounds, which can sometimes be less pronounced depending on the type of content played and individual room acoustics. It's not uncommon for users to adjust the subwoofer volume to a higher setting, such as +3, to achieve their preferred level of bass—especially with content that doesn't emphasize low frequencies by default.
If you find you consistently need to increase the subwoofer to +3 for satisfactory bass, that's within normal use parameters, and many listeners tweak this setting to match their preferences and listening environment. For optimal bass performance, also make sure the subwoofer is placed in an open space, away from obstacles like walls or large furniture, as these can affect bass perception.
If you ever notice sudden drops in bass or have difficulty hearing low frequencies even at higher subwoofer levels, checking the connection and ensuring the subwoofer is not in standby mode can help maintain consistent performance.
We appreciate your input and are glad you're enjoying the soundbar overall!
Thank you for choosing Sony!

Perfect for what I need
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is really good for a small/medium apartment. Great deep bass. There’s other soundbars that are way better, but for my apartment it’s great, I can’t play it that much loud because of my neighbors, but I enjoy the quality of the sound never the less. The only thing that I don’t like is that the led display is always on, it should fade out but no, as long as it’s turn on it says “tv” or whatever you have it conectes. The subwoofer also has a light always on.
