Bass is there but not very loud but overall quality good

While it states Dolby Digital sound, It works well when using Apple TV, Netflix, Prime Video.Unfortunately total waste for HBO Go as it does not disseminate 5.1 channel sound. The sound is better amplified with Blu Rays and 4k offering Dolby Digital/Atmos sounds. It impressed me even further when I hooked up my X-Box series X and PS5...thats where the sound gave a real triumph ! The background noises, the swishing and swishooing of things flying past the screen...All i need now is a projector to convert my room to a cinema hall.Well Done Sony!

Good decent sound with affordable price. Good enough for a small 3-bedroom apartment.

I have use this speaker for a month so far so good. Sound quality is great and price is affordable

I could say that this is one of the cheapest 5.1ch on the market. Given the price, the sound is very impressive. I like rumbling of the bass plus the surround speakers.

The product is good for a small-sized home, the sound quality is good, but the volume handling is a little hard, on some applications the sound is loud, and on some it is not so loud and requires high volume of around 70+

I bought this a few weeks ago. I love the sound. It would be good if the display can be on the soundbar instead of the woofer. I placed the woofer on the floor. It's very difficult to see especially when using the menu to make adjustments. The woofer volume can be adjusted individually but not the rear speakers.

Easy to connect BT via Bravia TV , set up very easy , packing well.

Happy with the purchase. Great design, easy to setup and linked to TV.

My sound bar is not working anymore so I shop for a new sound bar within my budget. The design & bigger watts are what I am attracted HT-20 SR. After two weeks of burn-in, the speaker sounds even better. Like many sound bars, the mids from the central speakers are over-shadowed by the thumping bass. This can be remedied by switching to ‘voice’ mode. HT-20 SR is indeed worth the money with its features.

Have had a Yamaha amp before and bought a Sony Bravia tv .thought I would upgrade amp as it was old . Got the Sony for comparability but so for not impressed. Ordered new hdmi leads for earc hdmi sound but keeps loosing communications. Rear speakers work but don’t work when watching movies as Dolby decoding .

Bought this abt 2 months ago .Quality is good and simple to use.Would be better if it had wireless subwoofer.

A good deal for entry level soundbar system. Simple to use with great cinema sounds.

Great Surround Sound and good bass , preset equaliser ok

I recently bought this item and installed it in my living room. Once fitted it was excellent with great sound. It would have received five stars if there had not been a niggling issue. The cables to the rear speakers are not long enough. Rather than cut the cables I wanted to extend them but there is no extension connector available. Cutting the cables invalidates the guarantee but I couldn't fit the system into my room properly without extending the cables. In my opinion it is a major issue as many living rooms are too large to comfortably fit the supplied cabling.

Bought a year ago, to replace an older sound system,,and it works great, clear sound and bass at a reasonable price.also use it as a speaker from iphone playing music.

Many tries on using HDMI ARC connection with my Mi TV but failed. Tried changing HDMI cables also. At the end the Optical Fibre is connected without fuss. The amplifier is soft if the source sound is weak. Need to select PCM setting in your TV as passthru mode doesn't always work. Bluetooth is easily connected.

I'm very happy with my new 5.1 u can always guarantee quality from Sony

I'm reasonably happy with htis soundbar. For the product price, it's a satisfactory soundbar which enhances the sound quality - I'm now able to hear the movie dialogue better and enjoy the music videos more. The subwoofer gives an extra oomph!!

my first soundbar which i have owned for few months, incredible sound especially when used with right software on a computer.

I have had my sound bar for just over a week now and so far I have had no problems. I would have given full five stars but the wire was a bit short so I could not place the rear speakers whare I wanted. Maybe Sony could offer extension leads for the wire on thare Web site for a small charge.

Purchased Sony sound bar 2 weeks ago to go with a Sony bravia TV purchased 1 month before. Connected with HDMI cable and had to change to optic cable. HDMI cable could not get system to sync so speech was not synchronised with vision. No instructions with unit and only found solution via internet search. Not impressed with system speech is muffled and the mode systems for cinema, music, and voice do not appear to make any difference I thought a Sony sound bar would compliment a Sony TV perfectly but sadly they have not got it anywhere near.

Well the 2.1 and 5.1 was the choice I made but luckily i chose the 5.1 the surround was superb better than i had expected .. every weekend is a party to me

A brilliant bit of kit that doesn't break the bank. The sound quality is awesome.

Fair price as entry level sound bar, good for room size just nice for personnel use

Decent sounds that matches the sources especially playing movies from Disnxy + Quite good on bass too when playing free to air channels, lovely buy!!! Slim look & right sizes however if more finer build will be even more perfect!

still ok lur. items still able to use with the price

I bought this few weeks ago to replace my old sound system which was out of date for the connection of modern appliances for the price I was not expecting to be this good the sound is clear and powerful watching films with this sound system nearly as good as being in the cinema if you can’t afford to spend loads money on top end sound system this is a very good sound system,if you got a larger room the cable for the rear speakers might be bit short otherwise this a brilliant sound system for the money
