Our read on this product
This Sony soundbar aims to replicate a cinema's immersive audio in your living room, and it gets surprisingly close. The 13 speakers and Sony's 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology work together to create a soundstage that feels much larger than the bar itself, placing effects accurately around and above you. It's a significant step up from typical TV speakers, making movies feel more dynamic and games more engaging.
If you're pairing this with a compatible BRAVIA TV, the integration is seamless, allowing you to control both devices from the TV remote and even use the TV's speakers to complement the soundbar for a fuller experience. It also supports the latest HDMI 2.1 features, which is a nice bonus if you're a gamer looking for that extra bit of immersion.
What makes it stand out
- Sony's 360 Spatial Sound Mapping creates a more precise and enveloping sound field than typical virtual surround soundbars.
- Offers advanced HDMI 2.1 features for gaming, which is uncommon in many soundbars.
- Deep integration with BRAVIA TVs provides a more unified and intuitive user experience.
When this isn't the right fit
- You're looking for a simple stereo sound enhancement for casual TV watching.
- You already have a dedicated surround sound system with separate speakers.
- You're not invested in the Sony ecosystem and don't have a compatible BRAVIA TV.
Real-world notes
- The sheer width and height of the soundstage it creates can be genuinely surprising, making you feel like you're in the middle of the action.
- Seamless control with compatible BRAVIA TVs simplifies operation significantly.
- While it has a built-in subwoofer, serious bass enthusiasts might still consider adding one of Sony's optional wireless subwoofers for that extra rumble.
This is a confident pick for anyone prioritizing a true home theater sound experience without a full speaker setup.
