No issues with wifi interference or connection. Have had the 7.1.4 for a year and decided to upgrade to the 9.2.4 which is a big step up. Going from 35hz low end(7.1.4) to 30hz(9.2.4) with subs is noticeable. More punch and chest thump with the 10" subs opposed to the 8" sub's "boominess." More immersion now with side surround channels going to two of four satellite speakers as opposed to being channeled from the bar itself. Almost too warm of a sound profile from the bar itself since there is no tweeter in the front soundstage(LCR). Tweeters in the bar are on sides and used for wide dispersion. This system is VERY good and as close to receiver/speaker setup you can get from a soundbar. I use it strictly for movies whether streaming or physical and it is a movie monster.

Great movie of course for most have already seen it. This is a very good 4k transfer from a 20 y/o movie. Detail and clarity cleaned up from original bluray. Good blacks. But the atmos audio is where it's at. All the sound effects from a war movie you can expect with guns, weapons, and explosions panning thru surrounds. But the Helicopter flyovers are exceptional with impact, depth, and height effects. The 4k does not feel dated and was "remastered" well. Buy it audio enthusiasts.

Has always been a great watch since released in 2005. Love the movie. My review is based on audio/video quality. Finally got around to purchasing the 4k based on all reviews of the atmos being stellar. IMO it's just ok. Dated surround and channel editing. Center dialogue not much clarity. Very flat and warm, but still audible. Bass has been reviewed as hard hitting but I found it just slightly above average. The movie does get loud though. Video quality shows it's age as well. Heavy film grain doesn't allow any 4k clarity to come through. Just doesn't seem "remastered" for 4k. If you have the bluray, then this is not a must own imo.

Sound is great with great clarity even though the studio 2s get a little louder and have slightly more bass but the noise cancellation is a trade off.

Christopher Nolan steps back into the director's chair for this sequel to Batman Begins, which finds the titular superhero coming face to face with his greatest nemesis - the dreaded Joker. Christian Bale returns to the role of Batman, Maggie Gyllenhaal takes over the role of Rachel Dawes (played by Katie Holmes in Batman Begins), and Brokeback Mountain star Heath Ledger dons the ghoulishly gleeful Joker makeup previously worn by Jack Nicholson and Cesar Romero. Just as it begins to appear as if Batman, Lt. James Gordon (Gary Oldman), and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) are making headway in their tireless battle against the criminal element, a maniacal, wisecracking fiend plunges the streets of Gotham City into complete chaos.

3 out of 5Strong bass, low clarity
By Vics
Awesome soundbar set up since it comes with rear speakers and surround speakers, but as for the sound quality for music, it wasn't that great. Bass is awesome since it comes with 2 subwoofers, so that was nice to have, especially since I love feeling the bass in the music I listen too, but it was lacking clarity. I do have to give it credit for making movies sound awesome, just sometimes the voice would sound a bit low but still a very emmersive experience watching movies. Also another thing that I think people should know is that the rear and surround speakers feel very cheap, and the wiring that goes from the subs to the speakers are really thin and make me feel like it must not be sending the best audio quality. Also I had a popping sound on one of my rear speakers maybe only happening like twice while watching a movie.. I bought it for 950 dollars and I don't think people should pay more for it, just wait until it goes on sale. Overall, I returned it and got the Sony ht-st5000

low clarity
December 28, 2020
i agree with it having low clarity. that happened with the FW35 firmware update. Center channel dialogue and the soundbar itself had noticeably more clarity and sound quality with the previous FW33 firmware. FW35 added seemingly too much warmth with no highs. very flat now.

By MisterJay
I've bought Blade on VHS, DVD, Blu-ray, and now 4K Blu-ray. This 4K version is the best I've ever seen and heard for this movie. The techno music and action sequences sound amazing in Dolby Atmos with deep bass and excellent clarity, and the picture quality is nice and filmic, with a good amount of film grain intact and all. Can't complain.
If you're a fan of Marvel and Wesley Snipes Blade, definitely add this one to your collection. And if you've got a 4K TV and a good surround sound system, prepare for an awesome experience. Hopefully Warner Bros will eventually release Blade 2 and 3 later on.
Highly recommended.

The apple TV excels at video quality. Dolbu vision looks great. However if you have a receiver that decodes the latest codes, you are sacrificing on sound quality. Don't believe me. Get a roku ultra and stream your favourite movie with best sound effects. You will notice a significant difference. This is because apple tv does not bitstream the audio but decodes it to PCM and the dynamism in the audio is lost.

4 out of 5Great replacement of the HT-A9?
By GeorgeDC
Let me start started that we purchased this to address frequent sound dropouts from the HT-A9 (which admittedly got better once we deactivated the 160 MHz channel on our WiFi router, but still persisted at over once per hour) - which we otherwise loved for the surreal ‘bubble of sound’ in its Dolby Atmos content rendering, but was just ok for music playback. Below are my thoughts as a home theater/dolby atmos enthusiast/ardent music consumer.
Appearance: The new speaker look is highly polarizing, judging from internet AVS forums. Sony tried to come up with a more modern option and veer away from the traditional bland speaker look, and landed with boxy speakers that not everybody is enamored with. I think they look ok and they’re somewhat modern and innovative-looking. But perhaps Sony should consider consulting / hiring hardware designers to work with their engineers, so their products can look a bit more polished and pleasing to the eye. (May I suggest LoveFrom?) But right now, it is what it is, and your only options are to take it or leave it.
7/10
7/10
Set-up: Unlike the A9, you now need to download and sign up for the Sony Bravia Connect app, if you want to use your system. Of note (unlike some other reviewers have mentioned), you do not need to agree to all marketing prompts from the app to continue with set up - selecting no will still allow you to proceed to the next step. So setting up the four speakers that came with the box was pretty straightforward, until I tried to hook up the Sony SA-SW5 subwoofer we already owned with our A9. Despite factory resetting it and restarting it several times, the app would just not recognize it was available for about half a dozen restarts and re-set up attempts of the entire Quad. This was a several hours-long exercise in frustration, and the PDF manual (not included in the box) provides only generic information (‘if everything fails, reset to factory settings and restart’). Somehow, it was able to finally recognize the subwoofer on the 7th attempt, and it has remained connected to the system since. I do hope that Sony will get their act together and address these set up issues with a software update, and ensure in the future existing hardware is already updated and able to recognize and work with their new releases.
3/10
3/10
App: Probably one of the worse apps you have ever installed on your phone. Even after the initial painstaking set up, for the first 36 hours of usage, it failed to connect to the system every time I turned it on, asking for a re-set up (thankfully it only asked to connect to the phone & the Wifi, instead of setting up and optimizing each speaker from scratch). Sadly, you can’t make any adjustments to the system without the app (the new remote has very limited functionality - you can probably put it in a drawer and forget it exists). And the only way to verify what type of audio content you are getting (Atmos vs Dolby Audio vs LCPM and how many channels) is through the app. Sony, if you are reading this, please consider showing this on the box’s screen. Thankfully, things just magically started working on day two of usage, without changing anything from our end - likely a server-side software update (have the automatic updates to on).
3/10
3/10
Center channel sync: Unlike the HT-A9 which was able to do this wirelessly with compatible Sony Bravia TVs, this version now requires a cord (provided). I did connect it to try the sound with and without it, and I would say that it has almost no effect on the sound. Not sure it’s worth bothering with. Although, as stated earlier, it appears that our Sony A80J has not yet been updated with software to make it recognize the Quad. So who knows? Maybe it will sound better after it does. But for now, it neither improves nor worsens the center channel sound.
5/10
5/10
Apple AirPlay/Spotify Connect: Just like the connection to the Wifi and the Bravia Connect app that didn’t work for the first day and a half, the Quad wouldn’t appear on the list of available AirPlay speakers on our iPhones. And then, without us having done anything different, it just started working. We haven’t been as lucky with Spotify Connect. The Quad still doesn’t appear in our Spotify accounts, unlike all other compatible speakers from Bose & Sonos we have in the house…
5/10
5/10
Overall Sound: Overall, it sounds a little better than the HT-A9. Calibration and the 360 sound mapping worked as described, and ended up creating an even wider, more open, crisper, and more engaging sound bubble. And it should, as each speaker enclosure now comes with one additional tweeter, for a total of 4 (rather than just 3 in the HT-A9). Fidelity is up a notch. The sound feels more robust, with more presence, and the Atmos effects seem to be more precise for a more enjoyable listening experience for movies and atmos-encoded video content. Moving sound objects are more precisely located now in space around you, and their movement feels smoother. (Testing with Top Gun maverick from Apple TV, and Dolby’s testing trailers from Demolandia).
The bass is also more powerful now, and music sounds fuller and warmer. Using the same SA-SW5 as with the A9 and at the same setting (8 out of 10), and the neighbors immediately noticed rattling of the shared wall, which naturally made us to immediately lower the bass to 5. I have not tested this without an additional subwoofer, so I cannot comment on whether one will be needed, but the bass output from the Quad speakers alone is definitely higher than of the A9.
When it comes to music reproduction, it is still far from being as enjoyable as Bose and Sonos home theater set ups are. Just as with movies, the precise back and slightly above the ears position of the saxophones in Quincy Jones’ atmos-encoded Bossa Nova album could be enjoyed in clarity and detail in a remarkably well recreated soundscape. But the added warmth and fidelity didn’t necessarily translate to a more enjoyable music experience, and Dua Lipa and Taylor Swift sounded a bit muddled on the Atmos versions of their Radial Optimism and Tortured Poets Department albums respectively (tested on Apple Music). As there are no dedicated Modes (Movie, Music, etc) any more, deactivating the ‘Sound Field’ option makes things a bit better for music reproduction. Sadly, an equalizer is sorely missing - hopefully, Sony will provide one via a software update - that could address this major issue. I don’t thing there are many consumers left, at least in the US, who use their home theater set up strictly for TV/movies, and not for music also. The automatic upmixing of stereo content to 360 audio will enhance somewhat your content, with low frequency mostly sounds being conveyed from all 4 speakers and their up-firing twitters, but don’t expect any miracles. A big negative is that the only variables you can adjust is bass and rear speakers, and nothing else really.
If you don’t have a compatible Sony TV to use for the center channel sync feature, you will not miss anything. The phantom center speaker works incredibly well. And the new Voice Zoom 3 feature also picks up the voices and raises their volume. While it works very well and does what it’s supposed to do for truly improved voice recognition, the acoustics of the entire soundtrack deteriorate significantly, as if someone took your home theater equalizer and turned up the mid- and high- frequencies all the way up. So whether you use this feature or not, will depend on whether you prioritize voice recognition or overall sound quality.
Movies: 9/10
Music: 7/10
(Really hoping Sony will add an 5- or better still a 7-band equalizer to the Bravia Connect app, so the music can at least be fine-tuned)
Movies: 9/10
Music: 7/10
(Really hoping Sony will add an 5- or better still a 7-band equalizer to the Bravia Connect app, so the music can at least be fine-tuned)
Intra-speaker Connectivity: This is where the Quad is leaps and bounds better than its predecessor (and the main reason for the upgrade in our situation). Over the past week, we haven’t had a single dropout in the sound output, and we live in a densely populated urban area. If you’ve had as many connectivity issues and dropouts with the A9 (I know a lot of people just like us did and still do, based on hundreds of reviews and AVS forum comments), this is a very good reason to upgrade to the Quad.

4 out of 5Okay, these are nice...but I'm giving 4 stars.
By mrjlwilliams
So I like these no doubt, they are simply amazing with sound. So that is where I will start
Sound Quality - After you get these setup, you will REALLY enjoy the 360 sound these give off. They are labeled for all corners, and you can't mess the placement up for them. Once you have them in place, the sound that they produce is simply crazy good. Even though I don't have the subwoofer, there is still an option for bass boost. Turn it up folks, because it is pretty nice. It's not subwoofer level, but it's good enough to hear some deep tons.
Build Quality - They are built very well, with strong plastic and some metal parts. They feel well built, and solid when handling them. The mess around the speakers ripped a little while I was taking it out of the box, but that was my fault. I like the quality of these speakers. They also do not weigh a lot, as I have mine mounted on the wall. They are solid.
Now for some cons - Price; these are a little high in price to NOT include the sub woofer, it should have come with these.
Setup - Now when I set it this up, and begin...it has to go through an app. Now after I set mine up, I'm told I could have skipped it. Other than that folks, these are GREAT and will take your system to the next level.

Not saying you should be an audiophile or expert to review this, but he lost me at calling a $2500 home theater system "these". Like a pair of shoes. Should at least be an enthusiasts to give weight to your review of THIS type of product. Sounds more of someone coming from tv speakers straight into the Quad never owning at least a soundbar. Sorry just being honest.
