    Bluetooth compatible for iPhone makes my playlists sound amazing..the clarity and whopping thud of the base bass is staggering and watching movies sounds like it’s true a true cinematic experience,PS5 sounds incredible..my partner has her own musical tastes,she listens to movie scores and classic music and I have to admit hearing live instruments on this system is outstanding..don’t waste time thinking it over,buy it..completely worth it

    This sound bar is amazing!! Im an automotive tech and i bought it as my sound system in the shop at work, and let me tell you…….THIS THING IS LOUD!! Sound quality is awesome! I even still have the bass at 0 if that says anything. I tried these out in the store and they blew everything away in the same price range and eveb some of the more expensive ones!! Very happy with this product!!….The only negative thing i have to say is that sometimes the subwoofer will make a sudden extra loud thump at certain times, other than that 10/10.

    I use this with my TCL 50" TV in my workout room. The price is fantastic & the audio is good. I'm sure by paying much more money I could improve the sound to excellent but I am satisfied with it, especially for the price!

    This unit has some great powerful sound when needed, and at same time for normal speech and action sounds adds just the right amount of bass for a good sound. It's not a 1000 watt/dollar unit to rattle the windows, but it fills my room with excellent loud sound. This unit is integrated with my Sony A95L TV and once set up, it works with the tv remote control. It has it's own remote control that can be used to vary some of the setup features.

    I was late to the party understanding that Sony Bravia works seamlessly with a Sony sound bar. I am a fan of Yamaha and could not get my Bravia to cooperate. Caught this Sony bar and wireless woofer on open box deal and fell in love. Have in my large master bedroom with 54’ Bravia and the woofer on wall (15+ feet away) next to my bed. Super clear audio for speaking that doesn’t disturb anyone else at night and pleasant rumble on deeper bass sounds. My daughter says it’s surround sound effect is like being at movies! Solid performance for a mid price audio system.

    I wanted to punch up the sound of my Sony TV without the hassle of a separate AV receiver and 6+ speakers. My room is 15' x10' with 12 ft ceiling. I've read numerous reviews on high end soundbar/subwoofer combos that convinced me that that even they will never sound as good as a full home theater system. Also had read about wifi/Bluetooth connection problems with some if not the same brand as the TV. So I opted to go cheap and chose this one from Sony. I've got to say this is just what I was looking for. The subwoofer punches up the bottom end in action movies and even music nicely. Mind you this subwoofer is not anything near audiophile grade and the sounds can be a bit muddy, but there are easy adjustments to make voices/dialogue easier to hear. Connection of the soundbar to TV was under a minute with the HDMI cable, the sub connects to the bar automatically. Keep in mind the Sony TV's speakers already are of good quality for a TV but the soundbar's speakers arre ever so slightly better. For $180 on sale I am happy with this, I've since seen the price up to $300 and if that's true I wouldn't pay that for this. As long as you don't expect full home theater system performance this system is a nice upgrade for minimal $'s to plain TV sound.

    For the money I think it’s a great. Subwoofer is more than enough (tucked into the corner of the room for added effect). Soundbar could be better in terms of sound output but for the price it’s okay(I know the wattage is low).
