Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Easy to set up. Just plug and go. The instructions are super easy. Connects easily to my and minimal wires. Easy to connect.

The best bang for the buck on the market. It does very well. Really recommend this one.

Cons

The rear speakers have a super loud popping and squeaking sound if no audio is playing. Sound is very muffled and washed out.

Woofer was damaged in shipping. They also make you pay for packing materials to return it. Very disappointing for a sony product.

Movie dialog is muddy, even with the supposed presets. Configuration is also a pain…. Not an app to configure the system remotely.

Wiring is messy unless your tv sits on a console table and you plan to have the subwoofer nearby. It is not like a bluetooth or wi-fi connection and requires direct line of sight to sub. Range is suspect as it doesn't work mounted on my wall.

Quality

The system is excellent, easy to set up, great sound.

Easy to install so far, it sounds great

It randomly turns on the tv and mutes/unmutes itself, even when i disconnect the remote and ensure there are no other remotes nearby.

Despite resetting it and trying every possible connection with my samsung smart tv, the problem persists.

Price

Good sound for the money, great for a small room like bedroom.

Like better than expected for price easy to setup can control tv and sound bar with one remote good sound very satisfied

Background is what you would expect from a much more expensive system.

Shipping

Nor was i informed it had arrived.

The package arrived and literally within 7 minutes i had it setup and watching a movie through this audio.

Packaging/appearance

The video shows the product being unpacked.

This box was left at my front door naked, just like you'd pick up off a shelf, no wrapping whatever.
