sony sound bar
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i like the sound bar better than having surround sound i am in fact getting rid of my bose surround sound system. the bar does not creep me out with noises that your jumping and asking did you hear that noise.
I would recommend this to a friend A must have for your TV
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Stepping from 2.1 sound bar to a 3.1 sound bar was more of a significant difference than I expected. The separation of dialogue from music and effects is making a huge difference for my aging ears. It interfaces and operates with my Sony TV without any issues at all. It’s got enough power to bring cinema level sound to our living room without taking up any space.

Great sound but has a manufacturer error
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got one a couple of months ago and it was working great till one day when I was just stuck at hello and wouldn’t connect to the tv. I had to ship it out to Sony to get it fix. Sony ended up giving me a new one but it was still a pain. Over all sound quality is ok but I think for the price there are way more options. Going back to the error, when it happened I saw on Sony’s blog that this is a common issue.

Music Like Never Before
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Watching movies with the sound bar has been amazing, but my God!! Listening to music has been an amazing experience. I'm listening to sounds I never heard before through my headphones. It is the best!
I would recommend this to a friend Phenomenal Sound yet discrete look
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a 5.1 surround sound system with wires running across the room, it sounded great but it was aging and the wires were not a desirable view. I went to the best buy at the Tustin Market place just too look nothing else. The sound bars were being set up by crews so check out others, like the SONOS, that was incredible but then I heard this one in the background and went to it like if I was starving and I smelled pizza. I saw it heard and took it. Love it and looks clean flushed to 55 inch Sony TV. I just need the back speakers and I am golden

Decent soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for my parents (in their 70’s). I read reviews that it was tough to install and set up, but I found it easy enough. My Dad loved it but my mom said it bothered her ears. She said it wasn’t a volume thing but sounded too airy and not direct. Perhaps it wasn’t right for their tv viewing room (not enough walls to bounce off of) We tried to change her mind over the 4 day weekend to no avail with various settings and seating placement. She didn’t like the sound at all. Had to return it.
