SonyHT-S400 2.1ch Soundbar with Powerful Wireless subwoofer, S-Force PRO Front Surround Sound, and Dolby Digital, Black

I freaking love this sound bar it thumps!! The bass is what I wanted and it delivered. I have bought two now because a friend stole my first one she loves it so much. We like bass and this things beats for being as small as it is. My neighbor's hate me when I'm drunk and use this thing. I'm sorry but I listen to rap sometimes and like to hear the bass. I have had better ones before that are a lot more expensive but his one is very good for as cheap as it is. Good quality sound bar also but it's the bass for me. It will shake the entire building!! If you don't like bass done buy this. If you live in an apartment probably will piss off your neighbors. Mine moved out because of this sound bar.

This has added so much to out TV watching experience. Woofer is just enough to know it is there but not be too annoying. So much easier to hear things and some things, like gun shots, can be quite shocking. Sound quality? My not be for audiophiles but for our ears it is great. Remote control for adjustment is nice - one set up you may not need to use it again. Bluetooth connections to our smartphones is easy and works a lot better than the smaller remote Bluetooth speakers. I like the fact that the woofer is a wireless connect - just plug it in and go.

Works great but, not a smart sound bar will stay on whole time even when tv is off.

This is hands down the best sound system in my house and the base and controls is supreme

Sony Support was very helpful in getting it set up as at first I was not getting any sound from it. They changed some setting on my TV and it started working. They also helped with a distorted sound issue I was having which was not related to the sound bar but my computer program playing videos. Overall for the price it is definitely worth it. Good quality sound.

Sony looses its reputation with me after 15 years of preferring their products. The software running this sound bar is based on windows 8.1 and is out of support. Sony no longer offers updates and any issues will not be addressed. As well, you cannot update online. You need a usb drive and have to move the sound bar from its mounting or placement to get to the back of it and install the one and only "out of date" update available from the Sony website.That said, the unit performs poorly because it turns off randomly during use. If connected using eARC, it turns off your TV too....right in the middle of shows, movies, whenever. Solutions offered by Sony blame this on hdmi cables and power problems, but addressing these do not fix the problem. New hdmi cables fail and a fiber optic cable performs better because only the sound bar goes off. This may seem like a minor issue, but is very annoying especially during intense times in shows and movies because the mood is lost. It then takes a few seconds to turn off before it can be manually turned on again. Sometimes this happens once a day, and other times it happens multiple times an hour.I thought matching a tv and sound bar brand would be a perfect setup, but further research using a reputable ratings organization online showed that there are better and cheaper sound bar options available. Think twice before choosing this product.

Got it used. Save a lot of money. Packaged great. Sounds great. Easy to set-up. Sounds awesome. Control with tv remote.

I recently purchased the Sony HT-S400 soundbar to replace my old Sony soundbar, which had started to experience issues with low volume playback. Overall, I am pleased with the upgrade, as the HT-S400 offers significantly better sound quality and bass. However, there are a couple of minor drawbacks that I would like to highlight.Let's start with the positives. The sound quality produced by this soundbar is impressive. Whether I'm watching movies, listening to music, or playing games, the audio is clear, immersive, and rich in detail. The bass response is particularly noteworthy, delivering deep and powerful lows that enhance the overall listening experience. Additionally, the build quality of the product is excellent, reflecting Sony's commitment to durability and aesthetics.However, there is one recurring issue that I've noticed with this soundbar, which is similar to my previous Sony model. When the volume is set at a low level, the sound tends to shake or become distorted. It's unfortunate that Sony hasn't been able to perfect this aspect, as it can be a bit frustrating when trying to enjoy quieter moments in movies or music. Nevertheless, if you primarily listen to audio at moderate to high volumes, this issue is unlikely to be a significant concern.Another aspect worth mentioning is the Bluetooth range of the soundbar. While it works flawlessly within a reasonable proximity, I have experienced some skipping and interruptions when I move too far away in my 500 sq foot studio. It would have been preferable if the Bluetooth range was more extensive, allowing for seamless connectivity throughout the entire space. However, this limitation can be easily mitigated by keeping your device closer to the soundbar.In conclusion, the Sony HT-S400 soundbar offers excellent sound quality, impressive bass, and a solid build. Despite some drawbacks related to low volume performance and Bluetooth range, I am overall pleased with the product. If you primarily use the soundbar at moderate to high volumes and don't require long-range Bluetooth connectivity, this is a great choice for enhancing your audio experience. Sony has almost perfected the product, and with a few minor improvements, it could easily become a top-tier soundbar in its category.
