Customer Ratings & Reviews

This player has many positive aspects. The picture quality is great, and it upscales to 4K really well. It can play pretty much any disc, including super-audio CDs. The sound quality is very good, and it feels like a solid build. What is somewhat annoying is that Dolby Vision is a manual setting, rather than being detected automatically. Other players do this, so Sony should be able to also. It would also have been better to have some front display, especially when playing audio discs. There is no way to get track information, for instance, without having the TV on to get that information displayed. Overall, this is a good quality player for the price.

This is my second X800M2; the first one died after 2 years (be smart and purchase the extended GS warranty with this). Great audio and video quality from this player - it can't be beat for the price ! I set the upscaling to 4K and all my MP4s, Blurays and DVDs look great in 4K. HDR and DolbyVision are amazing. Both players have crashed every 2-3 weeks and require unplugging and then re-connecting to the wireless network. Be sure to have easy access to to the power cable ! Only three apps for this unit , but I only use 2, so that's fine. Set up is intuitive and east to understand. Don't worry about manually turning off/on DV, it's easy to do.

I got this player for about month. Only watch one movie on it that is 4k ultra. I have one time condition where disc freeze, also when watching movie can't see confirmation that watching in 4k, i got notification uhd disk or something like that, i do have 4k tv it is xr90k by sony. Other than that i think that this 4k player is really good and can bring you good viewing experience.

Works great but you need the high speed hdmi cables to get the best sound and picture. Only thing missing from this player is the ability to update and add new streaming services.

Limited streaming apps. A big reason I bought this one was for internet streaming services as well as bluray. It's for the "other" TV that's a bit older and doesn't have builtin streaming services. Unfortunately it only supports Netflix, Amazon, and Youtube (which I don't use). NOT Hulu or HBO. And probably never will. Picture looks good on blurays, but doesn't meet my needs.

Works reliably and delivers great picture and sound. 4K is so much better than Blu-ray even on Sony 65in TV. Device is easy to use. Would buy again.

looking to upgrade from older technology to newer is always a hassle, ie Component to HDMI connectors, HDMI 1.1 to 1.4 etc. What is great about this player is it has two HDMI outputs, which can be setup to route audio to one and video to the other. Whatever you situation, HTR cannot process 4K of do not want the amplifier to process video, direct connect to TV, projector, etc, this player allow the flexibility to do this until your ready to upgrade or separate audio and video. The player is a great HDR player and works well with an Epson projector and Yamaha HTR (separate connections) and the price point is not a killer.

Great 4K player. We paired it with the Sony A8H OLED TV and the picture looks awesome. Easy to use, and the blu ray discs look great as well.

This beast is a must own for moive\bluray watchers. it upscales blurays way more than the tv or xbox could ever do. I use it daily and I am impressed with the picture everytime. It takes a while to adventure through all the settings and adjustments but it is worth it

My expensive Oppo ceased playing blurays after just six years, even with multiple interior cleanings. It was time for a new one and despite not having a 4K tv yet, I knew I had to go with a Sony player. I am blown away by this one. I feel like the Oppo was actually holding back my home theater set up. The sound was immediately more powerful and livelier. The picture quality stunned, too. The colors are more vibrant and the details are sharper than they were before, by far. Netflix on it is amazing. The Animals docuseries almost hurt my eyes, the detail was so incredible. The Bluetooth headphones feature is a huge plus for me, too. It works so well with my Sony headphones. The quality is so much better than when I use them with my dinky random Amazon transmitter. I only have one 4k disc but it is so cool that I can watch it now, downscaled to 1080p. The color was off but I didn't mess around with that setting yet. It will play 4K files off of my external hard drive, too, and they look perfect. That's really cool and convenient. It plays DVDs perfectly, too! I am nuts about this player. Sony was my very first DVD player in 1999. It feels good to have one again.

I bought this player because it includes Dolby Vision HDR which provides a significant improvement in picture quality to my 4K UHD Blu-ray disks. I like that it adds Dolby Vision to pictures that did not include this in the original program content. A minor issue is that for video streaming, the player only includes apps for Netflix and two other services for which I am not a current subscriber. Neither the owners manual nor the Sony website provide useful information for subscribing to a different service.

My last 4K player stopped working all the sudden and needed a new one fast. Saw this one on BB app and well Sony is a good brand anyway. Player works great, easy setup and use, Movies play great and love how it comes with Netflix, Prime Video and YouTube built-in.

I got this 4k blu ray player when I took in my old 4k blu ray player in for repair which is a lower end model Sony when I choose to get a refund and get a new 4k blu ray player. The picture quality is amazing on my 4K blu ray player on DVDs, regular Blu ray movies upscales amazing on 4k. Both Dolby vision and HDR 10 also looks excellent on my TV. Colors really pop out in Dolby vision depending on what tv you have.

This Sony UBP-X800M2 player is worth the price. I now have 3 of these. I was so impressed with the first one I bought. I've had my first one for over one year and no problems at all. These players are heavy duty and my 4k discs look and sound super awesome. Super satisfied with this model.

Overall, satisfied with the player. It did freeze up a few times watching Top Gun-Maverick but all other discs that I have played have been fine. When the scene froze, I had to go back and replay the chapter to continue. I assume the issue is with the disc though it was a new disc played the first time. Picture quality is nice and upscaling to 4K on the BR discs I tried was very good.

The sound out of this bar and rear speakers/bass is pretty good. I got it for the Atmos. Atmos seems to be pretty hit or miss because there isn’t a standard that the studios have to meet for the home market. I’ve been pretty selective on the discs I’ve bought to get the most out of it. It’s kind of a pain in the butt remote, and the ap won’t hook up. Once I found the best settings I was pleased.

So I bought this to use with a Sony 900h tv. Up until now I’ve been using Xbox one or series x as UHD blu ray player. Immediately I noticed a big difference. Not only does it allow Dolby vision from uhd disc but hdr 10 looks fantastic and even upscale Blu-ray’s are vastly improved. Honestly this has turned the tv from acceptable to me to WOW. Easily worth 150$. Unless you’re insanely picky I wouldn’t spend extra money for one of the best in class Panasonic. And I would save 50$ and go for the cheaper Sony. THIS IS THE WAY.

Perfect player for all disc types. DVD, Blu ray and 4k all work as advertised. 4k with HDR looks very nice. Of course make sure your TV has HDR capabilities to see this affect. Has all the "smart" features but i got this to get away from streaming apps. Remote is straight forward and easy to use.

Very glad I got this I had all these UHD dvds that wouldn't play it automatically plays dvd it has a nice picture I highly recommend it

Bought BP-X00M2 10/29/2023. It is a nice player. The one feature I want to mention is the fact it clears up the picture fuzziness of old DVDs in lower resolution really well. I'm playing Peter Sellar's "Cosi Fan Tutti "Opera I have on DvD. the image quality of this Opera is basically the same as a Laserdisc (better than VHS, but not as good as the usual DVD. Ive owned this DVD for many years. and can say the image is only fair. But.. The Sony UBP=X800M2 clears it up! I does take about 20 seconds for the image to improve. Subtittle edges take a bit longer, like a minute to get really sharp. The image improves so much I am just amazed at what this DVD player can do. I have thousands of old DVDs and this player makes them better. I have no comparison to any other 4K players. I can only say am pleased with this Sony
