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.

    This speaker is great for a small room. It has enough bass to sound decent without being overbearing to other people in the house. This speaker would do great in a game room or a kids room. I would go with something with a little more power for a main room.

    I bought this open box and to be honest i was skeptical at first. But i got it hime to test it out and OH MY am I please. Sub alone was worth it. Only complaint is the volume jumps here and there and its not compatible with a rear speaker package but hey still amazing to me

    Plenty of bass. Speech has good separation. Virtual Surround is disappointing for a Sony - but that's not what i bought it for. Configuring it through the remote, the buttons on top of the sound bard and the tiny LED readout is kind of clumsy, but once it's done it's done.

    Recently bought a Sony 55" Bravia big screen but the sound as most know has a lot to be desired. So, I knew a Sony soundbar would be a big upgrade to match the tv...and I wasn't disappointed in the results. Simply followed the instructions included and the set-up wasn't too hard to figure out and the wireless subwoofer makes a real difference for the room. Just remember to connect the skinny optical cable too.

    Easy set up, paired with the Sony tv so simply. the BB sales person was helpful in guiding me to this one. I didn't need something that was going to be too overwhelming as I live in an apartment. This adds a fuller sound to anything we watch even if the sound is low.

    I am a bit of an audio snob, this soundbar does a pretty decent job to my standards at this price point, it delivers a very punchy and clear bass and it integrates perfectly with my samsung TV, using an HDMI + Optical Cable did the trick, I can control the soundbar with just the TV remote. I was a bit skeptical at the store but I have 0 regrets and I'm keeping it
