Sony 2.1Ch Soundbar with Built-in Subwoofer Sound Bar, Black (HTX8500)

Nowadays tv have poor quality sound and this is a great fix. I don't want LOUD and BASSY as I don't wanna annoy the whole building and this has just the right amount of bass and good sound quality for a soundbar.EARC feature works great.

Phenomenal sound without separate speakers and sub woofer. Do need to keep the manual nearby to interpret the LED's on settings, but not a problem.

Definitivamente la mejor barra de sonido de una sola pieza, la virtualizacion del sonido de 2.1 canales Dolby Atmos y DTS:X hacen que la experiencia en una sala de mediano tamaño hacen que el sonido sea excelente, los efectos de las películas sean claros y parezca que se efectúan de partes distintas de la habitación.Una de las cosas que en un principio cuesta trabajo es la codificación de los focos para saber que tipo de configuración de sonido, ya que no tiene una interfaz gráfica.Ideal que tienes puerto e-arc para aprovechar todo su potencial, sonido con graves profundos sin llenar tu espacio vital de aparatos teniendo que ya está el sub buffer también integrado.

The market for soundbars without an external subwoofer is very small. And even smaller if you want better than "basic" options. This product is unique in that it has a built-in subwoofer and is dolby atmos compatible. On top of that, it's priced lower than the basic products of many reputable prosumer brands like bose or sonos.While researching, many reviewers have pointed out that the sound is not great; that lacks clarity especially in the mid range at high volumes, and is "boxy". But the same reviewers also don't make any correlation to their room size or viewing positions. For a ~200sq-ft room the soundbar gets way too loud before reaching any sound quality issues. Sitting about 8-10ft away anywhere in front of the tv, the soundbar delivers everything advertised. The voice enhancing and night modes work beautifully. And the vertical sound simulation working with any input is nifty although it's range is limited.Also like many have stated, the adjustment options are lacking but I don't think it's target market are people who are that much into fine-tuning their setup. You get this if you're ok with selecting a preset mode and maybe toggling a few customizations and let it do everything else. In its price range you just hope it's something built-in tv speakers can't do and is considerably better than the basic stuff less than 1/2 its price to make it worth the extra money. And the soundbar definitely fits that bill.

We bought this to replace our old SONY sound bar that had a separate sub-woofer. Eliminating the sub-woofer gave us more floor space and a cleaner look. The built-in sub-woofer on this sound bar delivers excellent sound for watching TV. Set-up was simple and quick. We also use it to play music from our phones and computers via Bluetooth. We're very happy with it.
