Great Soundbar, awesome upgrade from my wired setup
I bought this soundbar a few months ago, I was tired of the wired management with my older system (Sony 7.2 Channel Surround System) and thought wireless would be allot cleaner and easy. I also bought the RS5 rear speakers along with this for better sound immersion and coverage. That all being said, it’s great I’m really happy with it. Shows, music and movies come in clear and haven’t had distortions or connectivity issues.I use my old XBOX ONE as a glorified ROKU or FIRE player and it does the job. The soundbar comes with an HDMI IN and HDMI OUT and it’s simple plug and play. If you have multiple things you plan on using then a HDMI switch would be a good investment.The 5000 is a big, long boy and has a little weight to it and I didn’t want to use the wall mount/shelf holders that came with. I bought the “GOFLAME 48” Narrow Console Table, Modern Entryway Table with Faux Marble Tabletop & Black Metal Frame, Slim Accent” for it to sit on, and it’s a perfect size in my opinion.As far as sound customization, it’s very simple and customization is limited but seeing as the system well meets my needs and expectations I can’t complain.Overall, it’s a good product, and I highly suggest this Soundbar along the RS5 speakers too. Good Buy

Big improvement over TV speakers
I added this to a new Sony XR55X90K TV and it added a lot of depth and clarity to the sound. The TV sounds good but not enough sound. Music sounds a lot better too, which is what I use a TV for most anyway during the day. Connection is simple and quick. It includes an HDMI cable and an audio cable for using the TV center channel. There is Bluetooth connection to the TV also. The outer case and speaker mesh is all metal and the unit feels solid and well built, and it looks handsome and unassuming. A nice coincidence is that it is just about the exact same width as the TV.

Don’t pair it with a Sony TV or a PS5 !!
This sounds really nice for action movies…. That’s it. If it’s mainly dialogue like a documentary or reg tv, it’s not great. Worse than that, if it’s paired with your Sony TV and or PS5, your forced to power the sound bar on then back off every time you change apps such as prime to Netflix or YouTube unless you want to listen to the terrible soundbar dialogue sound. In other words, change from prime, to YouTube with the sound bar powered off, you lose all sound until you power the soundbar on then back off to get your tv speakers working again. Crap design. As a fix for the time being, I unplug the soundbar power so it’s not connected at all. then if I want to watch and action movie, I have to plug it in and re sync it. All of this has made me understand that I will never buy another Sony TV or soundbar.

Great Soundbar!
The soundbar is awesome! It is definitely a step up in sound from the cheap TV speakers. Sound is crystal clear, even at low volume. A couple of parts were missing, when I received the item. The seller worked diligently to make sure that I received the missing parts. Great seller and would purchase from them again. Thank you!

Just what I needed
I recently moved from a spacious home to a large rental apartment. Previously my several years old Samsung TV was in my bedroom with surround sound speakers in a 5.1 setup through my receiver. Now the TV is in my living room and I did not want to run cables through the walls.So I have my TV on a TV cabinet and although the sound from the TV was not bad for normal programs, it needed help. After reading reviews of all the sound bars. I decided on the Sony; and I am glad I did.For normal TV it’s great but for movies I decided to add the RS5 rear speakers and the SW3 subwoofer.Now the experience is even better than my old surround setup! I love the remote and the set up was super easy. I also connected a DVD player directly to the Sony.Eventually, I will probably replace the old TV with a Sony which will add additional benefits.

Love it
Sound is great. Some difficulty initially logging into wifi – if your wifi has an apostrophe in it, eg. Smith’s it won’t log in. I had to create a guest wifi, without the apostrophe, then it quickly connected.

Worked great – for a year
Really loved the sound and performance of this speaker. It stopped working just after a year and no amount of troubleshooting would fix it.

Give it a chance to impress you.
I had an older version from 2013. It was good. $800 good? Maybe.This new one didn’t overly impress me, at first. Yes, it is great for TV, movies.But, when I supply it with a clean audio source, and take the volume above 50?Now, I hear it’s capable of amazing sound. The definition, and spatial separation are superb. Honestly, I am not even using the Sub. And the audio quality, is stupid. Too, good for words, but absolutely perfect.

Facile a installer et configurer, un peu grande pour une tv 48p. mais le son est excellent.
