I love this sound bar! It's long...about 4ft. Its the same length as my 55-inch Sony TV. It takes a little time to set up the pairing, but it's not difficult. I almost purchased a slightly less expensive one, also a Sony, but I'm so glad that I didn't! The sound is so rich, and the range is great. You cannot beat the true Dolby Atmos sound. The sound also really tracks the action on the TV well. Action sequences and vehicle chases sound awesome. Cars or aircraft appear to really move left to right, ect. The upfiring speakers set this bar apart from others, and the way that the bar adjusts itself to the room it's in is some pretty cool tech. It will pair wirelessly with a subwoofer and rear speakers as well, but sounds excellent on its own. Since the Sony TV also pairs with the soundbar, both turn on and off from the TV remote, or my Cable remote. So that's handy. Although I have both TV and soundbar on a TV stand, wall mounting brackets, specific to this bar, were included. So you have options. I have been going back and re-watching all of my favorite movies to hear them through this amazing soundbar. I am very pleased, and I'd recommend this model to anybody looking for quality sound.

This is an amazing soundbar and works even better than I hoped it would. I purchased this in hopes of replacing our receiver with all the surround speakers and wires that go along with that and so glad I did. That type of set up has it's place in this world but not fur us anymore. I did look at many brands and models of soundbars and cheap stuff ain't cool and cool stuff ain't cheap. If you're reading this you're probably in the market for a soundbar and I recommend you do the research and find the best application for your space. The initial hit to the pocketbook may be difficult for folks but you'll be better off in the long run. if you do your homework and spend wisely. I really appreciated the ease of the set up, how well it works with our Sony Bravia tv and that I received an amazing deal on an open box buy. Couldn't be happier with the decision to purchase this unit!

This soundbar has very good performance, especially when combined with a subwoofer. There is no point buying or evaluating a soundbar without a subwoofer. The sound is very realistic for watching movies. For music I found some of the mid and high tones are not as clean and distinct, this can be simply attributed to the fact that the speakers are smaller in size and really can’t compete with larger bookshelf or floor standing speakers. I strongly recommend the SW5 subwoofer if you have a space larger than 200 sq ft. However if you have an apartment or smaller space the SW3 is pretty good. To avoid neighbor issues, you may want to place a subwoofer away from shared walls and even on top of a table (not on the floor directly).
