Best soundbar quality, bar none

I did extensive research about this unit before purchasing. Coming from a new LG SJ9, I was impressed with the bass and overall audio quality. The ability of this soundbar to take 3 HDMI inputs and route them to the TV using 1 HDMI (with ARC) is a standout feature. This makes install quite easy, and the bar automatically switches to whichever input is active.

For sound quality, it can't compare to dedicated speakers for the surround effect, but for rooms that don't already have rear speakers, it is the best solution aside from adding your own.

The price is high, but good audio equipment that has this much technology is going to last a long time, and delivers quality cinematic experiences despite it's small size.

Overpriced mediocrity

Best thing about this Soundbar is that it turned on. Extremely bulky, HDMI connection either require a big cut out in the wall or a shim to space it off the well (not enough room for the cable return). Speech intelligibility is horrible. Either one does not understand a word or the "effects sound" (anything but speech) is so loud that the windows rattle. No sound leveling between program sources - which is a joke considering the price for this unit. DSP setting very limited, Clear Voice setting does exactly nothing and 3D Sound is an imaginary option. Remote control has horrible lay out, hard to read and just plain ugly.
Anybody looking for a Soundbar is clearly better off buying a Vizio or Polk unit for a 3rd of the price and will get better performance!!!!

Satisfied product![sony]

So far the sound quality is very good for a sound bar system. To me its just as good as a surround system with its multiple speakers. The UI(user's interface) settings onscreen settings. Takes some practice for those that are not tech pros but fare enough to understand atleast for me. It is dolby built inn height speakers but requires a device that enables its function features. Like an Xbox system a pc or gaming laptop or any device that is dolby capable. The sound even at low literally shaked my room a little that is intense at volume 50 or higher. It is wireless for the subwoofer [less cord connection] and display led screen helps to know what function your operating on. I've purchased this on October and got it on November of 2020 and so far it works perfectly. The e arc helps to send tv sounds smoothly to your sound bar and improved framerates for gaming I believe. And the supplier from eBay is good. No issue purchasing from the company. Great audio device. The sound is breathe taken.Read full review...

Atmos soundbar

This soundbar has excellent sound and also acts as a video switcher. The included HTML cable is good, better than one I had that said it was compatible with high speed (it isn't). Movies sound great and my Xbox is awesome. Regular voice is clear as well.Read full review...

A solid soundbar indeed.

I've owned my Sony soundbar for about a month now and it is a very nice piece of equipment. The sound quality is excellent and design is very sleek. It has built in chromecast so connecting it to a phone or tablet is a breeze. I do have a few things to point out. I had to buy a new TV stand with a mount because the soundbar itself sits pretty tall and blocked my IR on my TV. Also this particular model doesn't allow the wireless rear speakers to connect like other Sony models, so if you want to upgrade, as of right now there's no way. Here's high Hope's of them fixing that soon with a software update. All in all 4/5.Read full review...

Awesome Sound Bar! Better than expected

Sound bar is awesome, you can hear the effects on all of its features without needing to raise the volume all the up and the best feature which I LOVE is the blue tooth feature which can become a transmitter and connect to my Bose Q35 headphones and enjoy hearing sound from whatever content I’m watching on the TV or playing games from Xbox/PS4. Size is also great, not too long and fits perfectly on top of my fire place below my TV. Definitely recommend. Price is really good, saving lots compare to the big retailer stores.

Only slight negative is set up of the bar to TV. No issues with sound bar only that my 4K TV settings would automatically change without my knowledge whenever I connected to the TV and produce a bad picture quality. at first I thought it was the sound bar that was causing the issue and After hours and hours of diagnosing the issue I learned that it was simply my TV picture settings that were completely off. I just reconfigured again and back to my awesome 4K pictures.

Solid

Sony HTST5000 have had it for a few months and love it. Great sound quality and easy to use. It is a very heavy piece at around 60 lbs. including sub-woofer. All are made well and movie sound comes out clear and loud (if you want it that way).

We have high ceilings and feel like the upward pointing speakers do a good job of creating a surround sound environment without the extra rear channel or other speakers. It synchs up with our Sony 4K TV and Xfinity 4K cable box perfectly.

We had Magnolia set everything up and got the right 4K cables and all to connect everything. We got all new and compatible Sony units to make sure everything was compatible and it works well.
