Great sound at a great price
on November 18, 2022

Verified Purchase:Yes
Amazing, high-quality sound for a great price. Not boomy or punchy like some subs can be. Added to a pair of powered speakers as my home theater system and it blows away any soundbar I've owned or heard. Highly recommended.

Here's the outlier
on July 12, 2022
Posted by: Jay123
Verified Purchase:Yes
I guess I'm the outlier that you always see in reviews, because I bought the soundbar, along with the sub and new updated rear speakers - and found the whole experience to be a huge disappointment. This seems to be a case of style over substance; it has all the connections, streaming, wifi, etc. you could want, and I got it primarily because it has more than one HDMI input - but the sound itself (you know, the most important thing with a speaker) is just plain average. I tried everything, from virtual height engine to spatial to manually upping the sound levels on each speaker to using the different sound modes. The sound from the rear speakers is practically non-existent, save for a few motorcycles or crashes here and there in movies. The center speaker overpowers everything else on the bar itself, even when turned down, and the sound from the tiny speaker is very tinny and hollow. And yes the voice assistant was off. Atmos effects are next to nothing but I expected that going in (you can't bounce sound off the ceiling, period). The sub is fine although nothing special. I owned the previous Sony soundbar (Z9F) and frankly this one doesn't sound that much better, and certainly not for the price.
This is the 2nd soundbar in a row I've returned (B&W Panorama 3 being the other anemic performer) so it's probably just me. I just wish I hadn't listened to all the hype because for the price they're charging, this product is simply not worth it.

The quality of the restoration, even on the digital downloads, is amazing. The book isn't that long but has great material in it, and all the packaging is amazing. A must-buy.

Not worthy of the name - or the price
on March 16, 2022
Posted by: Jay123
It's being pitched as an all-in-one solution for those that don't want a separate subwoofer, complexity, etc. That would be fine except for one thing: it doesn't sound any better than a Vizio or similar that's half the price. The connections are limited (just one HDMI), the speakers inside are just too small, and it doesn't support DTS and so on but that seems to be the direction all soundbars are headed. I could live with that if it sounded amazing. It just doesn't.

Big improvements
on June 12, 2020
Posted by: Jay123
Verified Purchase:Yes
The new MacBook Pro is much better than the previous model I had. Most noticeable is the quality of the speakers, which are on either side of the keyboard. It's amazing the quality of the sound they can get out of these tiny things. I don't find the processor any faster than my previous 13" model from 2014. The Touchbar works as designed but I find the whole thing to be a gimmick; it's more work to look at it and figure out what to press than to just use the touchpad and finger like I've always done. The 16" screen is a huge benefit for my eyes. Using Touch ID to signon is a HUGE improvement over having to enter a password every time. All in all, a very nice upgrade.

Good choice

Verified Purchase:Yes
I like the slim design; it works relatively fast; holds a lot. I had trouble with a previous drive when I couldn't unload it properly from my Macbook, so make sure the drive is disconnected completely before unplugging it (not sure if that was the computer or the drive that had the problem).

Satisfying sequel
on October 6, 2018
Posted by: Jay123
Verified Purchase:Yes
I enjoyed this movie in the theater and then again at home, maybe even more so because the UHD picture quality is very good. Although there's nothing groundbreaking here (slight spoiler ahead), they did try to add a slightly new twist by having the first half of the movie take place on the island and then the second half of the movie somewhere else. I found some of the secondary characters highly annoying. Sound quality is amazing using my Sony ZF9 soundbar with rear speakers.

Whether or not you enjoyed the movie, I didn't find the 4k version to look that much better than the regular blu ray version. I know the movie is 10 years old but still.

These earbuds paired instantly and sound about on par with the wired versions. Magnetic case is a good idea so they don't get lost.

By trvrkapit
Most people complain about lack of bass. Those reviews are very wrong. As long as you go into the app and adjust the setting I can feel the bass while sitting on my couch 7 feet away from this unit. The amount of power this bar can produce is awesome. Also, the height channels are very noticeable along with surround sound.
Finally, the remote pair works no problem. Just make sure you TV remote is in IR and not in bluetooth mode other wise the IR programmer wont work.

Good sounding subwoofer but returned it due to clicking sound related to speaker sleep and wake-up mode. Purchased a klipsch subwoofer and wow…big improvement in sound.

There is a switch on the back that keeps the sub turned on so that it doesn't make that clicking noise. It's right in the manual. I've used it.
