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.

    It’s OK for the price. It’s not phenomenal. It may be my mistake that I was hoping for a better stereo sound.

      Hi OrlandoC,

      Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing intermittent issues with the subwoofer performance on your Sony HT-S400 system. To ensure your audio experience is consistent, we recommend trying the following troubleshooting steps:

      1. Unplug the soundbar and the subwoofer from the power outlet for approximately 2 minutes. Plug them back in and test the audio again. This often clears temporary communication glitches between the units.

      2. Check the subwoofer’s power indicator:
      If it lights red, move the subwoofer closer to the bar speaker until the indicator changes to green or amber.

      3. If the problem persists, reset the speaker system as follows:
      Press and hold the power button and the volume down (–) button on the bar speaker for more than 5 seconds until [RESET] appears on the front panel display. This will restore the system to its initial settings. Disconnect the AC power cord, then reconnect it and turn the system back on by pressing the power button.

      If these steps do not resolve the intermittent bass, our dedicated technical support team is ready to assist you further. You can reach them directly via this link:

      https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=ht

      We appreciate your patience and are here to help ensure your system performs as expected.

      Thank you for considering Sony!

      Regards,
      Dominick Sony_US

    great compliment to my Sony TV. I bought mainly for consistent functionality via HDMI. Not the best sound I ever heard but great for the price.

    The sound coming out of this thing is pretty underwhelming. Please previously had an LG soundbar Which sounded pretty good, but switched to this one because we got a Sony TV and wanted to control the TV and sound with the same remote. The sound quality from this soundbar was significantly worse for a similar priced item.

    The sound bar did not have enough adjustments. As it turns out the Sony Bravia TV I bought has high quality speakers and I did not need the sound bar. The sound was more crisp and clear without this bar.
