If you are buying new Sony Bravia line TV's then this neck band is a must buy. It sync so well with new TV's and does not require any additional transmitter which is needed for older bravia models. You can have different sound leval and at same time TV can have different sound lenel and you have a option to mute the TV voice. It sounds like you are sitting in a cinema hall awith its 360 surround sound technology. Its fun to watch movies with this neckband on.

Works well particularly when I don't want to shake the house but still have great sound. It can connect to xbox and ps5 via 3.5 mm connection to controllers. Plus it connects to any blutooth device- roku tv, apple tv, etc. The sound is great with eq settings in the sony app. Also ps 5 3d sound translates well.

Sony neckband speaker

This Neckband speaker is awesome. I have family so i can't just put on my headset because I always have to pay attention to what is happening in the house when im either watching a movie or playing video games. And compared to the last generation Sony Neck band this one has and aux cord so i can plug in to my xbox, switch or PS5. That is a big game changer for me because with regular speaker you dont get that immersive detail like you do with a headset but this does. My only complaint with this neck band which makes me give it a 3 star instead of a 5 star is that its has 2 draw backs compared to last generations sony neck band. That is that first its not as loud as the SRS-NS7 they are smaller and dont pack as big of a punch as the last generation and the 2nd one is that they are built a lot cheaper. The SRS-NS7 was a lot sturdier and it wasnt flimsy and this new model you have to continuously adjust it to your neck because its just to flimsy. Its so good and I want to give it a 5 start because I use it every day for movies and gaming but those two things just don't let me hopefully next generations they improve those two things and itll be 5 stars easy.

These Sony Bravia Theater U headphones are awesome. I plugged these babies to my xbox/ and Playstation controllers, and the bullets were flying past my ears. i thought I was actually getting shot. My head kept ducking until I realized it's from the game I was playing. The sound is like having a soundbar on your shoulders.
I highly recommend these for any gamer that does want to blast your volume when everyone else is doing their own thing at home.
Must buy A+++

HTAN7 Bluetooth Incompatibility
|

Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I have tried to pair HTAN7 wearable speakers with 3 different Samsung TVs and a Windows 10 PC with no success. Neither the Samsung TVs nor the PC will even see the HTAN7 as an available Bluetooth device, but my Android cell phone has no problem connecting and working with the Sony Sound Connect App.
The HTAN7 will connect to our cell phones, but not the TV it was purchased to be used with. The speakers sound great through the phone which makes it all the more disappointing that it won't work with the TV.
Apparently the HTAN7 Sony speakers only support a newer feature of Bluetooth that is almost impossible for customers to verify whether their TV supports it or not.
Nowhere on the product information does Sony say that this product ONLY works with A2DP supported Bluetooth devices. You have to dig through the questions to discover the product requires A2DP to work. Even then Sony tells the consumer to figure out if their Bluetooth devices are compatible with A2DP. Most TVs have scant information about Bluetooth other than the version the hardware supports. We have tried on hardware that 4.2 and 5.2 versions of Bluetooth with no success.
Can Sony update the firmware to support a more compatible Bluetooth connection?
Otherwise, Sony should change the product specifications and advertising to make clear that ONLY A2DP Bluetooth devices will work with this product. There are hundreds of thousands of TVs this speaker could work with if it offered a more compatible Bluetooth connection (even if this limits some of the features).
Otherwise I have to take these back because HTAN7 are not working with most of our Bluetooth supported equipment. Our equipment works fine with other Bluetooth connected devices.
Is there anything else Sony can do to help with this problem?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Hi KevinG,
We understand that you are experiencing difficulties pairing your BRAVIA Theater U to your Bluetooth devices. Please allow us to help you and turn this into a better experience. If the TV you are using supports the BLUETOOTH profiles for music playback (A2DP), then you can connect the neckband speaker to your TV via a BLUETOOTH connection and listen to the TV audio on the neckband speaker. To Bluetooth pair your BRAVIA Theater U (HT-AN7) to a compatible TV, follow these steps:
1. Set the neckband speaker to pairing mode. To pair a second and subsequent TVs (if the neckband speaker has pairing information for other devices) - While the power is off, press and hold the (power)/(BLUETOOTH) button for about 5 seconds until you hear a notification sound and voice guidance (Pairing). The neckband speaker enters pairing mode, and the (power)/(BLUETOOTH) indicator double flashes in blue. If your neckband speaker fails to go into pairing mode, repeat this step as necessary. 2. Operate the TV to connect the neckband speaker via a BLUETOOTH connection. - Make sure the Bluetooth is turned on, then select the BRAVIA Theater U from the list of available devices. If the BRAVIA Theater U is not showing as an available device, click pair new device. and then select it. - If your device asks for a password or pin, enter "0000". - When the BLUETOOTH connection is complete, you hear a notification sound from the neckband speaker and the (power)/(BLUETOOTH) indicator flashes in blue. ensure that the speaker and TV have the latest firmware updates and that no other Bluetooth devices are currently connected to the speaker. For more details, please visit this help guide: https://helpguide.sony.net/ht/7861/v1/en/contents/TP1001326162.html 3. If the issue isn't resolved, try resetting or initializing the neckband speaker.
You can also watch the video on this link to learn how to Bluetooth pair to a compatible TV (the same steps will work for most Bluetooth devices as well): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yWjOOxoxus
Note: - If you have it paired to multiple devices, it can sometimes switch when you power on a second device. If you haven't yet, try enabling the Multi-device connection via the Sony Sound Connect app. - If you're having trouble connecting, the neckband speaker may be connected to another Bluetooth device. Make sure the neckband speaker are disconnected from the other Bluetooth device, then pair the headphones and the desired device again. You can also check your TV's manual to see if you need to change the audio output method to PCM.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with our wearable speakers, TreyH! We're delighted to hear that you're enjoying the phenomenal sound while gaming on your PS5 and that they've enhanced your overall experience.
We appreciate your honest feedback regarding sound leakage at higher volumes. Since these speakers are designed for an immersive, open-ear listening experience, some sound may naturally escape when the volume is set above fifty percent. For the most private listening sessions or to minimize sound leakage, we recommend keeping the volume at a moderate level, especially in quieter environments. If you need to increase the volume, using them in a less noise-sensitive setting can help reduce any potential disturbance to those around you.
Your input is valuable to us as we continue to improve our products. We hope you continue to enjoy your gaming sessions, and if you have any other questions or suggestions, please let us know!
Thanks for choosing Sony!
