Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my second Purchase of this model coz the first one lasted for almost a year was damage when our homes was hit by lightning strike a year ago.You better secure all your home streaming devices by connecting it to the uninterruptible power supply( UPS) coz it regulates any voltage irregularities created during lightning strike.This 4K Sony player is a one of the high tier on all other competitive brands, and it has a lot of features.

The picture quality of this player is no doubt superb and I couldn't be happier with that. The completely blacked out front with absolutely NOTHING displayed on the front gets old. There are so many times that I pause a blu and would like to know how far I am into it on the front display (that's just one example). That solid flat black front panel is exactly as it will look once you plug it in. Even the power light is almost invisible. Sometimes I don't know if it's on or not. I liked that look at first, but functionality wise it stinks.

I recently bought Sony UBP-X700 because I thought it had everything I wanted. Then I discovered that UBP-X800M2 has DVD-Audio playback. I have some DVD-Audio discs because I used to own a DVD-Video/Audio SACD player. DVD-Audio is an obsolete high resolution audio format that lost the format war with Sony's SACD format. I would not have expected an Sony product to include DVD-Audio. DVD-Audio plays Dolby Digital 5.1 with lossy compression on DVD-Video players. On this player my DVD-Audio discs play 5.1 channels 96kHz/24bit resolution with lossless compression. Compare that to CD 2.0 channels 44.1kHz/16bit. My Beatles Love and Dire Straits Brother's in Arms anniversary edition sound perfect. Vinyl analog lovers don't know what they are talking about. As a video player UBP-X800M2 lacks apps for streaming services, but I have those on my TV. The network video player connects easily to my SiliconDust HDHomeRun connect.

This player has an incredible amount of settings that you can adjust. If you are using all new modern equipment, reading the user manual may not matter. However, I'm glad I reviewed all the set-up options for my situation, especially for sound. I combined this new Blu-Ray player with a new 2020 Sony A8H TV, but an old school Yamaha RX-V992 (doesn't even have HDMI inputs) and some older (late 1990s) NHT speakers (5.1 system). This unit actually surprised me how fast it loads and begins to play a 4K HDR Blu-ray disc. I haven't had any loading, skipping, or drop out issues while playing. The picture quality to my Sony A8H is excellent. I liked that this unit had a coaxial out feature because that was the only high sound quality input I had remaining to attach to on my old Yamaha. After reading all the sound set-up options in the users manual I was able to get some fantastic sound out of this old audio system playing through the UBP-X800M2. I played the 4K HDR movie Bohemian Rhapsody. The incredible sound coming from my old audio system with Queen playing at Live Aid literally had me sitting there in awe with a little tear forming in the corner of my eye. I couldn't be happier with the sound reproduction out of my old audio system thanks to the many audio set-up features/options of the UBP-X800M2.

Before buying, I searched the net for a reputable 4K UHD Blu-ray player WITH Dolby Vision. This model came up onmultiple lists.. Since using I've watched; Ford vs. Ferrari, 1917, John Wick just to name a few. All films looked great. My LG GX actually displayed the Dolby Vision tag and the Atmos audio processing has been great too.

High quality 4k player, just wish it automatically switched to Dolby vision

Fantastic 4k player with hi res audio capability for my dvd audio and sacd collection. One player that does it all. Dolby Atmos sounds fantastic! I run a Sony 4k tv and it syncs perfectly with this unit. Glad I picked this one up while it was briefly on sale. I’ve got 3 of these for all my locations and need a 4th one but I’ll wait until the price comes down to normal

Dolby Vision and HDR playbook looks great. Hasn't glitched on any 4k disc. I have a dozen DVD-audio discs that sounded great in high resolution surround. Manually switching to Dolby Vision is a minor inconvenience. Media player off USB worked including dts music files. Interface is like browsing PC folders. All in all I'm happy with the purchase and the jumanji and Spider-Man discs included.

Very easy to setup definitely sastisfied with the HD audio quality. HD picute quality is great and especially enjoy how qukckly the deive responds. Looking to get a additional backup of the same model.

Yes! I received my BLU ray machine today! It is very good quality! It was EASY to hook up! It took me 5 minutes snd I am no tech genius. The picture is clear, sound is great! DVDs and BLU Rays look and sound better than ever especially 4K ones! I love it! Easy to hook up, easy to operate! Love ❤️

We actually was able to find this as an excellent open box for a great price. Hooked it up to our 4k Sony Bravia TV the picture is outstanding. The upscaling is pretty good from regular Blue Rays.

Sony x800m2 is a phenomenal unit. Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision, HDR10, Bluetooth, 4K, 3D, SACD! Sturdy chassis design to ensure stable disc playback. The two exceptions, not a great streaming device, no front panel display. However picture & sound are INCREDIBLE. Other brands are cheap in comparison, or, they lack features and cost the same $.

I enjoyed the ease of use The picture was great 4K and Blu-ray and regular DVD all played as I expected it would I would recommend this product to anyone

As usual, Sony equipment works great. (as long as you stay away from their entry-level products) The full-size frame is rigid, which means it stays quiet when playing disc media. The upscaling from DVDs and standard BluRay media to 4K is excellent. The upscaling improvement is really noticeable with old TV shows.

So far, so good. Sony products have always been great quality and built to last. Underwhelming amount of apps for streaming, but I'm smart enough to know that's not why I bought a Blu-ray player.

For the price I love it and I think hard copy is still the best way to watch movies. Price, quality, features and cosmetics are all on point with the price.

I bought the 4K player to match my av receiver from Sony so far only play regular Blu-rays and it looks beautiful haven't tried 4k blu ray yet I can imagine it look better than regular Blu-ray I only gave it four star because it's not a streaming device I only got three apps and there is no way to download more apps so for streaming its not good go for a Roku or a Nvidia shield pro! Other than that it is a good it is a good 4K player! Highly recommended

Ok I owed the Samsung UBH-k8500 which was great in the beginning. Then was having issues with the hdmi 2 port. They sent me another player and after a year the same problem. So I lost having a True Dolby experience. Overall the picture quality was great with that machine. Now my new Sony UBP-x800M2 the Dolby Vision looks fantastic. The only downside is you have to keep turning it off for blu-Rays that are not Dolby Vision. Overall A+.

The player's video quality is excellent, including its upstreaming capability. On the negative side, the audio HDMI output does not work (even after replacing the unit). Fortunately, the coaxial audio output works fine, so it is not an issue, but it is annoying nevertheless. The player is a little bulkier than one would have liked, and is also relatively heavy (which does however help provide stability and presumably reduce jitter.

This 4k blu ray player has been the most reliable blu ray player of the several different ones ive owned. The only complaint i have is that you can't add apps to it. It only comes with like 3.
