Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was mainly looking for the audio capabilities in this unit combined with the massive framework and weight that gives it stability. I've been using Sony Blu-ray players for several years now in order to play SACDs, DVD-Audio and Blu-ray audio discs in surround sound. The units were so lightweight that they slid when I just tried to push in the disc tray. This new unit plays all the audio formats that I need from it, and it's like a rock--it doesn't budge while I'm closing the tray, and I'm sure that also translates into less vibration during playback. The 4k is just a bonus for me, but since I've got it now, I went ahead and bought four discs. They do look great and Blu-ray discs also look great on it.

Bought open box excellent. Quality as described, and came in original packaging. Would never know that it was an open box product by looking at it. Works great!

I bought this player mainly because I have a high end audio system and want the ability to play SACD, DVD Audio and other hi-res audio formats. It is setup in a two channel system connected to a stand-alone digital to analog converter and a Vizio P-series 65 inch UHD TV. The functionality of this player is outstanding. It loads quickly. SACD, DVD Audio, Blu-Ray audio and good old Redbook CD play seamlessly with no need to toggle into settings when you change formats. The on-screen menu allows for reasonably quick adjustment of both audio and video settings. The need for manual switching for Dolby Vision is a hassle, but since I am primarily interested in audio, I don't mind. My one complaint is it lacks a 12V trigger, but this feature is not available on most other players in this price range. My main entertainment center is a 5.1 system and I am strongly considering this player for it.

I bought this Sony 4K Blu-ray player to pair with my Samsung 65 in 4K tv and couldn't be more pleased! Great quality, features and ease to setup and use. Great player for the price and works great with my TV

Excellent picture and sound over the Sony 700 series in my humble opinion.

Nice sound good lpcture.and a better picture. Good for 4k.

Sleek, easy to operate, bright picture, simple features

Solidly built component that plays the majority of dvd/cd formats. As noted by others, it would be nice to have a small digital screen while playing audio cds so you don’t need to turn on the tv. For me, I’m not sure the next level of players is worth the return on investment especially with this model being a third of the price. Not knocking the quality of other players only that Sony has this model at a fair price point for the options it comes with.

I was thinking between Panasonic ub8 series and this one, ended up buying this one. Satisfied with play quality, audio quality, time to load the disc. One time it got stuck in close to 2 months usage. Overall happy with the purchase

I play CDs on it and they have amazing fidelity. Plus it can play various forms of HI Fi music. Results in very clear, like in in the group, in my living room clear. Item was easy to set up and connect with my wifi.

I've had this player for a few months. The picture is amazing. It has all the features I wanted (SACD, Dolby Vision, HiRes audio), super quiet, and came with a couple of movies. Leagues better than my previous Blu-Ray player.

Well made and it works well with all dvds, blueray, and 4K. Great picture quality.

When you view a 4K disc, you have the ultimate treat in picture quality definition. There is nothing that compares to the crystal clear spectrum of colors and pinpoint details that come alive like no other format. Blue Ray is good but second best compared to 4K. And the SONY 4K player is a top of the line 4K player as one would expect from a quality mfgr. Controls & remote are intuitive; straightforward and easy to use; no learning curve required. The discs load quickly w/o delay and picture quality is second to none. Although one could pay a great deal more for a 4K player, it is doubtful it could surpass the build quality, picture display, and dollar value of the Sony UBP X800 M2. Hours of research and reading "reviews" of all the 4K offerings boiled down to choosing the SONY.

Perfect for HiRes Audio. Purchased since it will play SACD and DVD-Audio disks (older formats) for multi-channel surround sound music. Audio sounds fantastic and this device can play multi-channel and hi-res audio in almost any format. Have been enjoying playing Bluray Audio and older DVD-Audio discs. I do not use this player to play movies or videos. Only negative so far is that the remote is not the greatest. For the intended use (only audio) it is a bit expensive. But for SACD and DVD-Audio the alternatives are limited. For playing audio, works perfectly and sounds incredible.

I’ve had the original X800 for years and never had any issues with it whatsoever. Never used it as a streaming player and don’t plan on using this one that way either so I won’t comment on that at all. As far as playing 4k , Blu-ray, or DVD discs, this thing is tops. Solid, heavy build, and great looks. Replaced my original in the main room with this and moved the original to the bedroom. Highly recommended.

This looks great and performs great. I've had an LG which was terrible and didn't display 4k videos that great. This is a huge improvement and works flawlessly with my Sony tv

Excellent Device. The quality of sound and video; and it is easy to set up and connect to many other devices in different brand. the structure of the body this player is so good. it run quietly.

Easy To Set up and use. Doesn't take up much room and upscales to 4K video

great integration with my sony oled tv. Very happy with the performance and ease of use. Sony quality as a really good black Friday price. One caveat is you need to manually enable the dolby vision settings when watching dv content. This could be a deal breaker for some. Just an observed annoyance.

This Blu Ray rocks. I have to add more characters to make this review matter. I hope this satisfies the criteria. Generally, less word make more of an impact...
