It also seemed to have some issues with optical audio (which is the only way I could connect it, since my TV didn't have an ARC HDMI connection). For certain shows the audio would spontaneously cut out for a few seconds, which got really annoying. There aren't really any configuration options for the optical audio on my TV or the sound bar, so there wasn't a lot I could do.
Cons: too long for my 32" tv; sony should make a shorter version of this to fit under their smallest tv; the bluetooth volume increments do not work right with my iphone - the volume starts to low and one click its way too loud, no in between,
We bought a new TV and gifted our 65" in mother in law.... as we all know the speakers on any semi recent tv.....stinks!
So purchased this Sony to enhance the vocals for MIL
MIL is hardly an audiophile, just a bit deaf and wants to hear the news... This sound bar is perfect.... She loves it..
For me the sound is a bit ...hallow... and a bit too much treble.. Would be nice to have an EQ to make some minor adjustments.. but I couldn't find one...
So will it be a fantastic improvement from just the TV? You betcha!
But for me the sound is just a bit wanting.... not horrible by any means and for the price it is fantastic... just be aware it isn't going to sound like an 11 ch $1000 system....
But does nicely for what it is...
The install with a good quality HDMI ARC cable was easy. It took longed to conceal the cables in the wall. After a few setting adjustments on the TV, the soundbar worked perfectly responds to our Dish, Samsung, and Sony remotes. Our only issue would be the loss of the Sound Level Indicators on the TV. But for us, that's really not a big deal.
So the good first since I’m on the topic. After an easy connection to the tv via hdmi arc, this soundbar clearly had better sound and was louder than the other 2 bars I was evaluating. This was surprising since all the soundbars I order were rated roughly 120 watts. The low end of the volume were all similar but this one out shine the others at top volume. It was no comparison. I tested music (from YouTube), an action movie (from Netflix) and a streaming tv show. All tests were done without modification to the default settings of the bars (minus the sound volume). Bass, dialogue, and ambient noises were all acceptable relative to their respective media played. Note: this bar is pretty basic. It doesn’t claim to support various high end audio features but that didn’t seem to affect its performance.
Now onto the bad. On initial connection, the device did exhibit a bit of a crackle. Our basement is super quiet so any noise is noticeable. The crackle did go away once sound actually began to come out of the bar. I’ll monitor this to see if it’s an issue that continues and is cause for concern. The bar also did loose audio once upon boot up which required a reboot of both the tv and the bar. Not sure why that happened but is note worthy and will also monitor that for frequency of occurrence. The last (and largest) issue is the boot up time of the bar. No audio will be outputted (tho the led lights appear to be completely on) when the bar is started up with the tv for a range of 10-20 seconds. I was not expecting such a delay. None of the other bars I’m evaluating has such a long delay before audio is output post power up. I can foresee this being a stumbling issue for my kids who will immediately turn up the volume if the tv is on and no sound comes out. If we keep this bar, it may have to be something we’d have to live with for on the tv in the basement.
All in all, this seems to be the keeper of the 3 bars I’m evaluating. It being the one with the least amount of cons especially for the entry level price.
The only issue is a lag time of response when powering TV on or off, and same lag time when adjusting volume. This is a minor nuisance because the sound is incredible, and the price is great.
If your like me, and have kids, animals, and other environmental noises, your TV's audio is lacking (like my TCL TV), or your simply hard of hearing (i have all 3 issues!).. this soundbar is perfect!
It has several different sound modes, so you can switch between various modes depending upon if you want a "home cinema" feel for loud action movies, want the sound of the voices to stand out during long dialogs that would usually be hard to hear due to background sounds/music in the show/movie, or want to have a better gaming/music experience.. this soundbar has a mode for your needs.
It's simple to set up (plug and play), simple to pair to for Bluetooth, and has a clean/sleek design for mounting and/or placing in your entertainment center.
Overall, it's a solid 5 star for me based on price vs quality
It was a little tricky to set up at first, but my favorite feature is being able to connect my phone via Bluetooth without having to turn it on with the remote. Good for gaming as well 🎮
The sound quality is impressive for such a small unit, with clear vocals and balanced sound. The bass reflex speaker adds some depth to the audio, though it’s not quite as punchy as larger soundbars. But for casual music, video calls, or even watching shows in a smaller room, it works great!
The build quality feels solid, and I appreciate the integrated tweeter for a cleaner listening experience. Overall, it's a great option for anyone looking for a budget-friendly, compact soundbar with decent performance.
I knocked off one star just because the bass might not be enough for those who want a more powerful sound or the voice setting. But for my home office, it does the job.
Yeah yeah yeah I know this is only supposed to be for TV but you know what they work perfectly through the Bluetooth feature with my phone and I think I only spent 100 bucks on it.
A couple leftover L brackets from some curtain rods that I didn’t need to use at the time and I’m absolutely golden.
Work well with my GFCI outlet Dawn to dusk motion sensing porch light too!.
Up under the eaves where it’s never ever going to get wet unless we have a hurricane I guess - Here in Texas anything is possible.
I was surprised how good the sound quality is. I have the sound bar connected via Bluetooth and it works great!
It looks great, is durable and light weight. I guess the only negative (if I had to pick one) is that the top volume is not too loud so if you have a big loud room, it might not be loud enough.
I ultimately returned it to Amazon and purchased another more expensive one with a Bluetooth sub woofer. It was almost twice the price, but if you want great sound from any soundbar, you’ll need to spend more and get a subwoofer.
TV.
The TV sound is what you'd expect from almost any TV. It wouldn't have noticed if the display wasn't so good. Enter the Sony Soundbar. It provides a simulated theater experience and strong sound for outdoor. This soundbar provides everything you'd want for small to medium TVs. I found an open box in excellent condition for $60. If you want a larger theater experience, you'll want a more premium system with at least a subwoofer. I love this bar, and it's fit for this purpose. It's the best upgrade to complete your viewing experience.
The Omni TV was one of the best finds and values. I wanted a lightweight TV for a rolling stand to use as a guest TV and a football TV on the deck. When this popped up as a Prime sale for $270, I couldn't resist. As a nerd, I compared options under $500 before narrowing it to this size and model. Many reviews say the 55" version is a better viewing experience. If so, I can't imagine how good it must be. This is on par with our older Sony TVs for picture quality in a smaller size. It does not have the higher natural refresh rate you might want for gaming. It's bright enough to watch in full daylight, but reflections degrade the image. Initially, I thought about buying a larger size for the deck. The size, weight, and quality of this one make it a perfect mobile TV, and I won't upsize it.

The Sony soundbar fits and looks very sleek under my TV. The sound is very adequate. To avoid echo, you need to disable the TV internal speakers in most cases. Hint: if you can't disable the TV's internal speakers using the TV settings, Google how to access the menu for "Hotel Mode"on your TV, turn it on, then select volume of "0". Power off, then power back on and you are in business.
I was able to make use of my Yamaha soundbar with my office PC, which has a Sound Blaster card with optical output. Win-win.
I only give 4 stars because I wish this soundbar had a more expandable ecosystem for connecting an external subwoofer or surround sound.
1. Press the Home button on your remote control, and then select Settings (All Settings).
2. Navigate to General, and then select External Device Manager.
3. Select Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) to enable.
4. Navigate back to Settings (All Settings) > Audio (Sound) > Expert Settings, and select HDMI eARC Mode. Then, set it to Auto.
The quality is good but I really wish that the sound would be visible as a number. You have to look at the leds on the speaker itself to tell how loud the volume actually is. The manual has what the blinking leds mean as to how loud it is. For example, all three leds (white blue white) blinking once is max volume. I would rather have seen it as a number so I can tell that way easily, that's why I rated this a 4 star speaker but it is very good value for the money.
Basically, this will work great for:
- most TVs with an optical port or HDMI ARC
- for MUSIC (not video) over Bluetooth
- a gaming PC setup if your PC has an optical port
It will not work for:
- anything requiring AUX
- connecting to a gaming PC over USB (unresponsive) or HDMI (ARC only) or obviously AUX (no AUX connector)
- Bluetooth audio for watching videos or taking video calls (due to audio lag)
I've connected this to a tv with HDMI ARC and a PC using Optical, and the sound quality is great.
The Bluetooth works and produces great music quality, but the Bluetooth is completely non-usable for video output (Netflix, Zoom calls, etc) because Sony included an older standard of Bluetooth on this soundbar (4.4). Again, it's fine for music, but for watching video, your audio will lag about a half-second behind for anything that transmits Bluetooth 5.0, such as most Apple products, most laptops, tablets, etc. So the audio on Bluetooth won't match peoples' lip movements in movies and tv or video calls. That said, Bluetooth connection from smartphones, laptops, etc is quick and easy and connecting from one devices takes over connection from an existing device (it accepts bluetooth from any device without any kind of code or manual pairing step), which is as it should be and feels seamless and makes it great for putting on music in your living room with friends over. Don't buy this soundbar if you're planning to *wirelessly* output a video's sound from a streaming box like Apple TV or any brand of smart TV.
There's no 3.5mm/AUX port. This is a bad design choice, but it is as advertised. 3.5mm/AUX is a ubiquitous standard and lets this device be immediately compatible with many more devices than just a TV, which is especially important since they also use an older standard of Bluetooth. There are good technical arguments for why 3.5mm/AUX is "worse" (lower signal quality) than, say, optical or HDMI, but leaving off a 3.5mm port sacrifices a lot of compatibility. That said, they don't claim that this has an AUX port, so if you're reading this review, you probably already know there's no AUX connection.
There is a USB port, but the instructions that come with this soundbar don't even acknowledge that there's a USB port and doesn't provide instructions on how to use it. Certainly, 99% of devices will not actually connect to this soundbar and play sound using USB. I hear a rumor that these USB ports are for flash drives that contain MP3 files, but who on earth stores and listens to music that way? I am honestly asking.
The HDMI is *only* ARC. It's worth taking 5 minutes to Google HDMI ARC if you aren't already familiar with what it is. Basically you can only connect to this soundbar via HDMI through a port explicitly labeled "HDMI ARC." Connecting to your device via a regular HDMI port most likely won't do anything. This is a standard only made for TVs, so again no compatibility with anything that's not precisely a TV.
Finally, there is "optical" output. It's the small, square-ish thing, often with a little plastic covering. If you have any desire to use this with a gaming PC, this is what you'll use, since most gaming motherboards have an "optical" sound output natively (essentially the same thing as the S/PDIF). This is also a good option for connecting to a TV, since a lot of TVs that lack HDMI ARC do have an optical output.
For us, this is a Godsend. We have a higher end Sony Bravia 42” LED flatscreen TVs purchased in 2010. From day one we used this TV permanently connected to an ex excellent audio system, bypassing it’s internal speakers. We have now purchased a 65” Sony Bravia to replace that set and moved the old one to the bedroom. There, we began to use for the first time with it’s internal speakers, and we’re very disappointed with their sound quality. (But we are used to the very best sound). That TV has rear firing speakers and this was no doubt a concern to our neighbour on the other side of our townhomes shared wall.
This Sony sound bar has made a huge difference to the sound quality. It’s front firing, aside from a single rear port for bass reinforcement. This port can be padded down with a foam plug (not included) if desired to reduce its effect on neighbours. It beats the TV’s internal speakers hands down x10. But .... It’s ideally suited to bedroom use. It is NOT a replacement for a dedicated audio system of good quality. It will play loud if desired, but critically to us it plays super clear at low volumes.
I suspect that many negative reviews here are from people with unreasonable expectations. It’s NOT a boo box, and frankly a device of this size will never produce earth shaking bass. Physics dictate that. Importantly is does not EXAGGERATE bass.
As for connectivity using Bluetooth, and sound quality using music devices, I cannot say. We bought it sold for television use. I wouldn’t expect this to provide HiFi quality music reproduction.
It’s pricier than many of the Asian designed and built ones, but well worth it. It’s a real bargain compared to many of the higher priced brand name ones that are 2 and 3 times the cost.
