Sony - HTS100F 2.0 Channel Soundbar with Bass Reflex Speaker - Black

Pros, reasonably priced, multiple ways of connectivity, decent sound for the price, links up to my Xfinity remote. The need to knows, no display to show the volume, no app to adjust the sound, it’s done by choosing one of the 6 modes. Sometimes it turns on in mute and you have to click the volume once for the sound to come on. I understand the mute issue is a factor of the TV connecting slower than the sound bar. This unit comes with an optical cable but not a HDMI cable. This sound bar sounds better the louder you turn it up, it’s probably better for a larger room to take full advantage of the sound quality. Linking it to my Xfinity remote was not as straight forward as they instruct, you need to find a YouTube video to do it but it’s easy. Oddly the signal to the sound bar interferes with my LED tv backlights and randomly turns them on blinking. I had to unplug the LEDs. Overall, I do like it and I would recommend it! Nothing that I listed as a con should discourage you from loving it.

Pros: This speaker sounds great!(I bought it for my Sony Smart TV and it's great fit for it.) Why not try it on high volume? I have watched a few movies & a lot of anime etc. every since I received it and the volume sounds great for all of them. There's no bad sound or anything like that coming from it. I know this speaker is 120 watts and the Smart TV I have, have less watts than it so that should do it well with that speaker. Even though the Smart TV sounds good as well, this speaker is worth it for louder sounds. Enjoy your movies with this speaker because it's easy to use. It comes with a remote control to use volume(up & down), to turn it off, with features like input, night, music, cinema, voice, auto sound, standard, fast forward, rewind, play & pause. You can control the speaker with the Sony Smart TV controller when it's plugged in to the TV. No problem. Now with all the good of this Sony speaker there's a problem which it's no surprise. I bought the speaker and when it came and I was home the whole time and someone stole it. I talked to the customer care and they believed me and cared so they was able to refund me for the speaker and today I have it because of them. I ordered another one as soon as possible and was able to pick it up in store near by instead of delivery and everything was good. Cons: I haven't found out any since I don't think their will be any. Everything was working fine and the instruction was good. So HDMI is what you use to get the sound on the speaker and the other one that you get from buying the speaker. Do have a extra or buy a HDMI for this speaker. Thanks BestBuy and Sony!

I needed a sound bar for a 42 inch Insignia "non-smart" TV with a bit of volume and clarity in the mid- to upper-frequencies, that is as wide as possible without exceeding the width of the TV. It will eventually be used for a kitchen environment, but more immediately as a remote A/V unit to display a slideshow and play background music in a backyard setting. It will be plenty loud enough for background music, but I will be using a small subwoofer for the outdoor event. . When I bought this unit, I also needed to buy a mounting bracket to host the soundbar with the TV when I mount it on the swinging wall bracket I will use in its final mounting place. . If I were not looking for a higher wattage, I might consider the Insignia NS-SB21, which only rates 40 Watts... compared to this Sony HTS100F (120 Watts). It also has a small subwoofer, which I'd be hard-pressed to find a place for in my usage. I am seeing other soundbars than when I made my purchase that I might have considered.

Sound bar sounds great, was easy to set up and size is great. Mounted it above the TV due to location and space. This unit has plenty of volume capability for our Studio as part timers.

I needed better ‘hearing’ with my TV without having to blast the volume or use headphones for hours when binge-ing. This Sony soundbar really works well, sound is good and reasonable now, and the Best Buy price was decent. I chose it because of its size, ease of use, price, and it’s a Sony since my TV is a Sony, never had problems (knock on wood)!
