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.

      Hi ShermanJ,
      Thanks for reaching out and sharing your feedback regarding the HT-S400.
      We're really sorry to hear that the sound quality wasn't up to your expectations. That's definitely not the experience we want you to have, especially since you already have other speakers you'd like to use.

      To get to the bottom of this and figure out if there's anything we can do to help improve the performance, we highly recommend you contact our support team directly. They have the expertise to walk you through setup checks and discuss all available avenues.
      https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=ht

      We appreciate you being a Sony customer.
      Sincerely,
      Estefany Sony_US

    It works very well as it should but... it has a tendency of turning on by itself all the time. I shut everything off (sound bar, tv, console, etc) but the sound bar will turn on by itself 30 seconds, a minute, 5 minutes, or even an hour later by itself. I went through every setting possible even Sony's website and Reddit's suggestions but still turns on on its own. Not a deal breaker but annoying.

      Hi AlirezaR,

      We are sorry to hear that the sound quality of your HT-S400 soundbar has degraded significantly after 11 months of use. This is certainly not the expected performance, and we need to help you resolve this. As a first step, please try power cycling both the main soundbar unit and the wireless subwoofer by unplugging them from the wall for five minutes and then plugging them back in; this can sometimes reset the audio processing. If the poor quality persists, please contact our support team immediately, as your unit is still under the standard one-year warranty and we will need to arrange a service or repair: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

      Best regards, Eliab Sony_US

    I bought the open box which says excellent condition, however the wood was a bit swollen in a few places and definitely not excellent condition. Product was not even cleaned before sending, it had a lot of white spots.
