A low profile soundbar that's full of life
I picked this soundbar up to eliminate my larger bookshelf speakers and center channel after changing my TV entertainment stand.The sleek low profile design appealed to me and I was eager to get it setup and going with my entertainment system. This soundbar accepts a direct audio input however this is only suited for an AUX input and not really compatible with an AVR or Active system. The other available inputs are HDMI Input, Bluetooth and ARC (Audio Return Channel) via HDMI.I tried to use an HDMI output from my AV Receiver going to the HDMI input but this didn’t serve the purpose I was looking for and the full surround was only available using both the Soundbar and my AVR in combination.Using just the Soundbar had incredible sound but was missing the required surround sound and low frequency bass.At this point, I made the decision to change my configuration and eliminate the AVR in pursuit of the matching compatible surround speakers and subwoofer.With all speakers now in place my system came together with awesome sound and a very easy setup and configurationYou download the Sony app to setup the soundbar and then connect the associated surround speakers and subwoofer.Setup of the soundbar and other speakers were a snap. You connect the soundbar to Wifi and you can then control the soundbar and audio inputs and settings.The app on your phone becomes the tuning microphone and you setup the soundfield using your phone where you would typically sit to listen to movies and music.The full soundfield of the soundbar fills the room with sound and the surrounds and sub then add the fullness to the system.There is a demo music track when you finish setting up the soundbar and it sounds like you’re sitting in the middle of a forest with animals, insects and breezes moving around around you.The surround sound audio from this system is breathtaking. The audio is crisp and clear and you don’t need high SPL levels driving out of your speakers to feel the impressive quality.The soundbar features speakers in several directions that send the sound out into your room from multiple angles helping to enhance the room filling sound.

I first want to say that when it comes to home theatre sound, I'm pretty picky. I have my own "home brew" setup for home theatre with KEF speakers and subwoofer driven by an Emotiva AV Receiver and other such gear. A few years back I tried one of these sound bars (different brand) and was pretty disappointed. However, since I got my Sony Bravia TV last year, I wanted to give one of these Sony sound bars a try. Why because in as much as I enjoy my current HT system, it really takes quite a bit of space and have to be careful with cabling, wiring, etc. So, let's call it a want for convenience. After trying it for over a week (including a 48h break-in period) below are my thoughts:
* Sound fidelity: one of the informal tests I run with all my audio equipment is sound fidelity. I want to hear, before all equalization and any spatial effects, how the audio compares with my reference monitors. In this regard the sound bar does well, though I wasn't expecting much because it's not the "job" of a HT bar to be clinical or reference. But again, all things considered, did pretty well.
* Another thing I like to test on these small-format speakers is the low range/bass. This is challenging for these because at certain point physics will limit how low a speaker of that size can go. However, this bar did very well. Full-body, chest pumping lows could definitely be felt. Again, you can't compare with a 10 or 12'' dedicated subwoofer, but for the size, it's pretty fantastic.
* Immersion. A key aspect of any HT system is the sense of immersion/spatial effects. This unit is impressive in this respect. While watching Dune 2, my wife and I kept looking at each other because this sound bar had us impressed. We felt truly the sounds were coming from the right direction and those lows and special sound effects came through amazingly. I also tried it with Elden Ring -- which, btw, has possibly the best purpose-made music of any RPG out there -- and was very pleased with how well the sound effects and the music came through. Spatial sound was especially helpful for PvP.
* Misc: Sony recommends you install an app on your phone to control and setup this sound bar. This is wholly unnecessary step. You can just hook your ARC/eARC into it and presto! Ready to go. We're still undecided whether we want to go through the process of hanging the TV and bar of our wall. We like it in the little shelf and our PS5 and other players hook easily into it.
Overall, I'm very impressed with this sound bar. It certainly punches far above its weight and far above my expectations. Unreservedly recommend it.
