Kinda Pricey for Basic Features, Decent Sound, but will it last 15 years?
$228, Sony HT-S400 2.1ch Soundbar with Powerful Wireless subwoofer, S-Force PRO Front Surround Sound, and Dolby Digital, BlackPros:- Decent bass and separate adjustability for the bass- ARC connectivity integrates well with Sony TV; Cable NOT included– Sony TV remote controls the system audio; no programming needed; be sure to set the TV to external audio– Has Optical inputs in case I ever need it- Volume goes from 0 to 100- White LED is not overly bright- Bluetooth connectivity is straight forward- Came with Batteries for the remoteCons:- Model has been around since 2022 and does not include eARC, but you won’t need it with only 2.1 channels- Fairly steep price for limited capability such as lack of surround soundI’m connecting to a 2010 Sony Bravia 1080 TV with ARC connectivity. Sounds decent with streaming services via Playstation 4. Bluetooth connects easily and sound reasonable. I don’t pay for the upgraded streaming plans, so no point in paying extra money to get Dolby Digital Plus (or 4K). But, surround sound features can be had from other manufactures at this price point. This sounds punchier and fuller than my 2010 Polk Audio Surroundbar 3000, which is still going strong. If this system can last 15 years, then I feel I will have gotten my money’s worth. Try to get it on sale; don’t may over $228

Works great for me
After using the basic little speakers on my Sony Bravia TV for quite some time this was a very welcome upgrade. It works very well for my small bedroom gaming/movie watching set up, just the right size. Sound quality is awesome especially with the quality sub woofer that comes along with the bar. Very easy to setup basically plug and play. I’d recommend it to a person whose looking for quality that isn’t really expensive

No top end definition but it has everything else
Lacks top end clarity, but, mids and bottom end are not harsh, but warm toned.It was initially purchased for the living room as an alternative to the center channel speaker in my surround sound but, it lacked the top end clarity I was hoping would separate it from my Bose center channel. It didn’t. So I bought and Onn 5.1 surround system at Walmart, and it sounds so good, I actually took my theater system down for it, instead. The Sony is in my bedroom because I don’t often watch tv there.

Living room turned home theater
I love this sound bar. I have it hooked up to a Sony tv using an HDMI ARC cable and the compatibility is amazing. One of the things I looked for in a sound bar is clear audios, especially for movies that the music overpowers the dialogue. There are times where it feels like the sound is a little cheap but I want to blame that more on what I’m watching/playing. Otherwise, the sound is so crisp my neighbors could watch my TV from my window and still hear everything if I have it loud enough. I’ve only had an issue with connectivity once but it was an easy fix once you get to know the system; a short nuisance if anything. I barely use the remote control since I control everything from my TV remote, but I do find it nice that I can use the sound bar remote to adjust the bass. I did get the speaker on sale, but I feel like it’s been worth every penny so far.

I would steer clear of this product.
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.UPDATE: It has been 2 years and still no solution to the random power cycling. After acting up multiple times a day a couple weeks ago I pulled the plug and bought a new “not-a-Sony” sound bar. I have been using the new sound bar for a week with no power cycling issues – NONE!Thought I would move this old sound bar to a small tv in the bedroom and more issues! First, all settings on this product require a combination of button presses on the sound bar and/or remote control while you read the huge map-like instructions. There is no app or screen settings, all done manually with results showing on the tiny scrolling single line screen on the sound bar. So resetting and configuring for an optical sound out connection (old tv with no HDMI out for sound) took over an hour – ARGH! Also, there is an issue now with the power button failing on the remote as mentioned in other reviews. Had to get up out of bed to turn it off last night, and it was so warm under the covers. I hate to say this, but seems like this sound bar keeps getting closer and closer to the recycle bin.

Si buscas sonido de calidad con buenos bajos para ver películas o jugar videojuegos sin gastarte un dineral está barra de Sony es la mejor opción, personalmente he probado otras marcas en barras de sonido con sub inalámbrico y puedo decir que ninguna se le acerca a la calidad y potencia de las barras de Sony, solo tiene dos detalles a considerar, viene con conexión de enchufe europea, pero trae el adaptador para México y el segundo es que la barra viene solo con un cable óptico, por lo que para exprimirle al 100% el audio tienes que comprar un HDMI para tener mejor calidad de sonido y controlarla con el control de la tele, si tienes tv con Roku probablemente te pase como a mi que no se escuchaba con HDMI, si es tu caso cambia la configuración de audio de Roku a audio nativo sin compresión y con eso la barra funcionará a la perfección con una tv con Roku, definitivamente un 10 de 10.
Keyboard not working the mouse it’s ok. Try change battery still won’t work. –
When I read the details. The country of origin is Japan, but when I received the item is from China. I’m still give 5star bcoz sound bar work good.

This is a great home theater surround sound system. It was easy to set up and had a minimum amount of wired to deal with. Most of the connections to the speakers is through Bluetooth. Once setup the sound is fantastic. It has deep base tones and clear trouble tones. Midrange is clear and really sounds good for dialog.Installation and demo provided by Nainesh Panchal – Om Services Baroda was very helpful and informative.

Perfect sounds and combination of deep bassThe product meet my expectationsIt priced wellGood product

It’s an excellent sound system with Sony’s crisp clear sound quality and high quality built and materials.While it’s not a full theater sound system and does not provide a full theater surround system experience, it still is a huge step up from the TV speakers. It doesn’t give a huge “wow” factor but it does a great job providing a crisp clear sound. The bass is not over bloated and is smooth, which is great for watching the movies. It’s ok for listening to the music but it’s not what it is designed for.The TV used to pair this soundbar with is Sony Bravia XR X90K. I tried to use Bluetooth connection, which was immediately recognized by both devices and the sound quality was good with no delays or whatsoever. Also, tried with an 8K UHD ARC HDMI certified high quality cable through an eARC port on TV. The TV immediately recognized that there is a Sony Soundbar connected and offered to complete a setup. The bass lines do sound slightly crispier through the cable but the difference between BT and HDMI is hardly any noticeable.
