Descent but not great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Considering the high price of this Sony sound bar and woofer, the product is ok--certainly better than the built in speakers of the Sony tv' that we bought with the sound bar--but not as good as I hoped. Since it's a 3.1 channel sound bar, I really hoped to get great clarity of the dialogue on programs we watch. But to get that clarity, I then have to sacrifice the over all sound quality. I do like the variety of settings you can change on the remote (sports, cinema, news, gaming, etc.) and the 3 settings for increasing the voice clarity. I'm still playing around with those settings. Given the pros/cons of the sound bar, I would still recommend this to a friend--so long as you get it at the sale price, not full price.

Love It!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love streaming music via bluetooth on my android devices. It rocks the house. Watching movies is fabulous. My wife says I am too loud when she is upstairs trying to sleep.I have Directv so I am connected via HDMI. The only thing I wish is, being able to listen to bluetooth and still seeing my DirecTV programming. I can do that on my LG soundbar in another room. Any suggestions?? Thats why I dont give it 5 stars. Otherwise I love this Sony system!

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After owning multiple different types of Dolby Atmos sound bars and traditional 5.1 wired systems I’ve come to this conclusion. The newer sound formats are great, but only if do you have a true professional home theater installed speakers mounted in the ceilings and walls etc. This Sony HD ZF9 tries to do too many things at once. Trying to watch the news or a regular sitcom on TV the audience and surround the fax in the background end up being lower than the voice. So you turn it louder in the subwoofer gets louder than it needs to be despite the fact of you are you just did it.

So you turn it louder in the subwoofer gets louder than it needs to be despite the fact of you are you just did it. So then you increase the center channel voice boosting settings and then it just sounds Tinny and not warm. I switch to Sonos which just a standard Dolby 5.1 surround without the fake Atmos FX. And everything sounds so much better
