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.

    Got it on a sale for 200. Wireless is good and sound is nice quality. Had it for about a month and only issue that I have seen is the volume controls for the TV remote is slow to register input.

    This is an excellent sound addition to you television, especially at the price point. It has excellent sound output, and the bluetooth aspect of it is nice as well for playing music in the room. Worth the buy!

    This is a small but mighty soundbar that punches above its weight. The one caveat is it's really meant for a smaller room.

    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.

    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.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback, Golelie!

      We are very happy to hear that your HT-S400 soundbar is working very well for your everyday use!

      However, we are sorry to hear that you are experiencing sound breakup or distortion when the volume is set to maximum. This is certainly not the intended performance for this product.

      We'd recommend checking the bass level settings, as sometimes high bass combined with max volume can cause distortion. If the issue persists, we recommend reducing the volume slightly or reviewing the sound mode settings, as some modes may push the drivers harder than others.

      Thank you again for choosing Sony, and we hope you continue to enjoy the soundbar at its best performance!

      Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team Sony_US

    Newer TV’s have small speakers so it helps to have a good sound bar to be able to have good sound quality.
