    Very good sound quality, especially for the price. We looked at other brands and models that were a lot more expensive and we ultimately felt that this soundbar was totally sufficient for our needs, within our price range.

    I previously owned an LG Sound Bar and Sub. After purchasing this system by Sony, it blows the LG system out of the water. The clarity and depth of sound is so much improved compared to the LG. In addition, the Sub is a much fuller and deeper bass.

    Probably the best physical speaker I have purchased that encapsulates everything I want in a speaker. With a wireless sub I can pick and choose where I would like this sub to be. The forward firing surround is a God send for that Game of Thrones finale.

    Easy to set up. To get it absolutely right you'll want to flip through the menus and be inquisitive as to what some of the options mean. Over time playing with it I think I have it dialed in pretty well.

    Solid performance but overloaded with functionalit

    I purchased the HTZ9F soundbar to go along with a Sony 75" X900F. This is my first soundbar after using the internal TV speakers on my previous TV's. Setup is fairly easy and Sony includes the HDMI cable to connect the soundbar to the TV. The specialists at Best Buy recommend running sources through the soundbar and using the HDMI-3 Audio Return Channel (ARC) to feed the TV. The soundbar only has two other HDMI jacks, limiting the number of sources. The HDMI jacks are set at an angle on the back of the soundbar. The inner most jack can be difficult to use with thicker HDMI cables. Thicker cables make mounting the soundbar challenging as to not over bend the HDMI cables. The front of the soundbar has an LED display that provides feedback on which source is is in use and other messages. There is no functionality to rename HDMI jacks so one has to remember which source is associated with each jack. The HTZ9F provides better audio than the X900F TV's internal speakers. But for the price, that is expected. A big selling point is the Vertical Surround Engine (VSE). After trying various adjustments, I couldn't tell a huge difference with standard HD material. There are controls for adjusting the volume of the sub and rear speakers independent of the main soundbar. This makes it easy to increase or decrease the amount of bass depending on if you want to shake the house or not. The HTZ9F comes with Chromecast, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and and LAN connection functionality which I question the value add. Why do all devices (TV, soundbar, players, etc) have these redundant features? Hopefully there will be software updates which would make the LAN / Wi-Fi useful. I am using the soundbar with a Sony TV and there have been no integration issues or problems with voice sync. It works well with the Sony TV and BRAVIA Sync makes controlling the soundbar and TV easier after figuring out the various options. Fortunately, I was able to get an additional price reduction on top of the sale price when purchasing the soundbar with the TV. If I had to pay the normal sale price I am not sure the soundbar would be worth the price. But for the price paid, it is a reasonable upgrade to the system.

    The Sony HTZ9F is a great soundbar. Very nice voice modulation. The wireless subwoofer is very effective, without being overbearing. The installation was very easy and it looks great under a 65 inch Sony OLED.

    The sound is very good. I replaced a component system with this soundbar. It's seems to be as good as the Definitive soundbar I have on another tv. But, with the way it integrates with the Sony tv, it's better. Glad I bought it.

    This sound bar was a little expensive for my taste, but we tried it anyhow. It ended up being a pretty good choice, but maybe could have done as well with a less expensive model.
