Easiest setup and big improvement over TV speakers
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easiest sound bar I’ve ever installed. Pairs with TV and no wired connection needed. I was surprised that it could sync audio with the video so we’ll over a wireless connection.

Decent for price

Get soundbar!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This system packs a punch for the price you pay. It was a bit of a challenge to set up and get working properly but that had more to do with my TV than the soundbar itself. The sound is amazing and takes my TV to a whole new level.

||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent for Small Spaces, Lacks Power for Larger Rooms The Sony HT-S400 works well in a small apartment or dorm, delivering clear sound at moderate volumes. However, when I tested it in my large basement rec room, the audio quality became thin and lacked depth at higher volumes. While it’s an affordable option for compact spaces, those needing richer, more powerful sound for bigger areas may want to consider an upgrade. It gets the job done, but there are better soundbars out there for the price.

Posted .Hello tsav23,
It's great to hear that the HT-S400 soundbar delivers clear sound at moderate volumes in small spaces such as apartments or dorm rooms. The compact design of the HT-S400 is indeed ideal for smaller environments.
Regarding your experience in a large basement rec room where the audio quality became thin and lacked depth at higher volumes, it's possible that the room's acoustics and size played a significant role in how the soundbar's performance was perceived. Larger spaces usually require more powerful audio equipment for optimal sound distribution and quality. The HT-S400 is designed for compact spaces, and while it may not meet the needs for larger areas, we appreciate your suggestion for those seeking richer, more powerful sound to consider upgrading to a higher-end model.
We value your input as it helps us to improve our products and meet customer expectations more effectively.
Thank you for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
-Fred

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this soundbar to go along with my new Sony tv. I’m a bit disappointed. I find the sound is pretty average. It’s not very loud. You have to turn it up to a high level just to hear it. A little pricey for the sound quality

great sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony HT-S400 system's audio quality is pretty impressive. I believe you receive a decent sound for the money you pay. This system was put up in my living room and drastically altered the sound, similar to a movie theatre.
