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...
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.
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.
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.

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.
