Customers are saying

Customers are satisfied with the HT-S400 2.1ch Soundbar, especially its sound quality, ease of use, and powerful bass. Many find the setup process simple and appreciate the Bluetooth connectivity for audio streaming. The design is also praised for being simple and elegant, while the size is considered perfect for many TVs. A minor drawback is the absence of an included HDMI cable.

    Bought as an open box, great item for the price but i feel like the sound bar iteslf lacks a little with bass and lower sounds compared to my older LG sound bar. Sub makes up for that a bit. Only small complaint but overall we are happy.

      Hi Kyle,

      We’re happy to hear you’re enjoying your new soundbar! To improve those lower frequencies, please ensure "Night Mode" is turned off and use the BASS buttons on your remote to boost the output. Experimenting with different "Sound Field" settings can also help deliver the richer, deeper audio profile you're looking for.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

      Best regards,

      Eliab Sony_US

    Good value for the money on this sound bar and subwoofer combo. I didnt realize how bad the speakers in my tv were until we added this setup. It really makes all the difference. Its probably not enough for true audiophiles but for those who feel like their tv offers a subpar listening experience, this might be just what you need.

    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!

    Easy Bravia sync with Sony TV. No preset sound modes. 1 surround option, front facing speakers bring solid Dolby Digital crisp clarity. Comes with an optical cable. Bluetooth communication is good and does not disconnect to subwoofer. The sale price of $200 at time of purchase was very resonable for the performance.

    This is a decent soundbar for the money. I like that the subwoofer is wireless, allowing me to place it anywhere in the room I want. My only gripe (a minor one) is it could be a bit more powerful. But the sound is good, dialogue is clear when watching tv.
