    Bought this sound bar to have a better sound quality over the from the sony bravia tv that I own. Sound sucks on this sound bar. The TV sound was bettter then the sound bar. Had the sound bar connected through HDMI and Bluetooth with no sound improvement. Hand to have volume at 35 to just hear the TV through sound bar. Yes sound bar was compatible with TV.

    I just think that you can do a lot better for the price point they are decent quality don’t seem to do much for the money I return mine wasn’t doing for me when I wanted them to the base was poor and the sound was echoey I got Polk Sigma 4 this brand supports all Dolby audio and Atmos and the price difference is not very much

    The sound wasn't much more improved that our television, so we returned this item and when we did, there was a big problem because the person who sold it to us, put the wrong item # in and everything had to be re-looked at carefully. For us, it just didn't work out, but it might work better for others in different circumstances.

    Was excited to buy this. That quickly went away when it started blasting to 100% volume randomly throughout the day for 5 seconds or so. What a headache (literally) and waste of time.

    Great Sound Quality!!!

    I'm blown away by how amazing this Sound Bar really is!!!! The sound quality is just over the top and the deep bass is of great quality. For me, the deeper the bass, the better. I love that loud boom boom!! The louder it gets you can still listen to the sound nice and clear. This Sound Bar along with the Subwoofer will definitely wake the neighbors up. The set up was very easy, just get it out of the box and plug in. It comes with a optical cable but no HDMI cable, I do feel that at this point everyone owns one so that was no issue.The Subwoofer is wireless, making it easy to move around and not having to worry about cables showing all over the place. This Sound Bar makes movies sound more intense and keeps you very well entertain. Listening to music is just as easy as 1,2,3 just turn on your bluetooth and you are all set. Its the best 300 dollars you will spend. I definitely recommend this Sound Bar and SubWoofer to anyone that wants to take their entertaiment to another level.

    Would really give this 3.5. Sound's not bad; neither is it outstanding. I have to crank the volume up to get good fidelity out of the soundbar. I was going to buy the Samsung bar but they were out of stock. I impulsively bought the Sony, thinking it would be fine. Turns out the Sony was just that: fine.

    Don’t Bother

    Wish I would have kept the box and everything so I could return it. First off, the instructions seem straightforward, but they didn’t help when I had to reset the whole thing out the box. After it connected, the first couple days were great. Then I encountered synching problems where the sound wasn’t accurate with what was on our Flat Screen. Then the subwoofer started disconnecting. We don’t have other wifi devices around it. The most annoying thing is that, at least twice a day, when we go to lower or turn up the value, it will suddenly get EXTREMELY loud for 5 seconds. And it doesn’t stop no matter how much we try and turn it down, before it finally lowers the volume. At this point, if we put it back at the volume level it was at before trying to turn up or down, it suddenly sly sounds quieter even though it’s at the exact same volume it was at before. Don’t bother wasting your money. I did this out of convenience because we have a high end latest model Sony flat screen that easily connected. But, now I regret it.

    Really wanted this to be a good system. Action scenes were loud with very good bass. Unfortunately dialogue was very hard to get loud enough. Ended up returning the system.

    Poor sound quality and not very adjustable. The sound bar sounded very dull and had no way to adjust the bass, mid and treble separately. I ended up returning this and going with a JBL SB 550

    Best Buy installed the sound bar annd Subwoofer, it worked for four weeks. Called Best Buy and was told to contact Sony. They instructed me to unplug the system and it would reprogram its self. After having to unplug the system to have sound we called Sony three times before they instructed me to sent the Sound Bar and Subwoofer to United Radio Sony’s repair company. They could not duplicate the issue. And informed me that we’re shipping it back. They said If I still had the same problem call Sony. What happen to the days when your could return product that does not work?

    Sound quality is ok, but volume needs to be turned up to very high levels, at least (30's to 40's) to hear dialogue clearly even when only about 6 feet away. Bass needs to be turned down to hear voices clearly. The subwoofer doesn't seem to have much output. The same criticism applies to the Sony Bravia XR90K TV, volume needs to be turned up quite high to hear dialogue

    At 1st I didn't think it was gonna be easy to set up but then using the really tiny cable to set it up with my smart TV really worked out as a plus so I love it thank you for recommending this for my Home.
