5.0 out of 5 stars Great Sound, simple to set up.
Chose this set up as it was Sony and came with wireless rear speakers. The rear speakers are not completely wireless as they still connect using speaker wires to the small rear amp, however you don’t have any wires going from the rear amp to the front speakers which makes the install really clean.Initial set up was about 10 minutes out of the box as everything connects up automatically once plugged in, also has HDMI ARC so if plugged into a relevant HDMI ARC port on your tv you will be able to control the volume using your tv remote. It doesn’t have to be used with a Sony TV, I’m using it with a 55” Philips Ambilight tv and it works flawlessly.I ended up wall mounting the front speaker and running the cable from it to the sub in my wall for a neat install. Comes with a paper mounting template so you can make sure the screws are perfectly placed. Looks very neat and fits perfectly under my 55” tv.I find I don’t really use the different EQ modes on the device as they all sound very similar to my ears, so I just leave it on Cinema mode which gives me the sound I am after for both movies and music. I was pleasantly surprised how good music sounds through the system when I connected my phone using Bluetooth and played some songs using Apple Music.The best thing about this system is the BASS, its thunderous and really puts you in the centre of the action. However, if thunderous bass is not your thing this can be individually controlled on the remote from 0 and 12 so you can find the right setting for you. I did spend a little time after the initial set up balancing the system as the rear speakers were a bit quiet, however the instruction manual explains how to adjust the speaker distances and volumes using the menu system which is displayed on the sub woofer. The room I’m using the surround system in is only about 8sqm so balancing was important to make sure the sound was converging at the right place for the room size and the viewing position. It’s a little trial and error but overall I didn’t find it too difficult to get the sound how I wanted. Now balanced the vocals are clear and the rear speakers really give that immersive surround experience.I have read reviews that suggest this isn’t a proper Dolby 5.1 system, that is not true. I have ran Dolby 5.1 test files and movies through my system and I can confirm it is definitely Dolby 5.1 with separate channels.What I think others have been experiencing is an issue with the software or media player they have been using to play their 5.1 files. For instance I found issues when using VLC media player from the android play store on my tv and on some YouTube videos that said they were Dolby 5.1. I either got no sound from the rear speakers or it would simply play the front left and right channels also through the rear speakers. However, in this instance it’s clearly a software issue and is nothing to do with the surround sound system.I didn’t have this issue when using the onboard media player that came with my tv or with Netflix, Bolo Prime etc as all produced a perfect Dolby 5.1 experience.I haven’t had any regrets since buying this and I can’t believe I waited this long to own a surround sound system. It makes movies so much more immersive and I will never go back to just using my tv speakers as so much of the sound is missing without surround sound. At £299 I think this is an absolute bargain and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy again.
5.0 out of 5 stars Low Volume Satellite Speakers
The quality of this sound bar is second to none, It was hard work fixing the speakers from the small amplifier to the wall, also it needed a hdmi with ARC, mine was somewhere on the back of the wall mounted TV, so off it came to find it.The setup was very easy, i didn't even need to read the instructions that came with it. So the sound bar connects to the large woofer, then it is connected wirelessly to the small amplifier.Several modes available like sport, cinema, music and voice.Sadly I believe the small rear speakers could have been larger with a higher wattage, but that's just my opinion.Testing, i went along to youtube and searched for 5.1 tests, there were plenty of them, and they played a sound out of each speaker while showing which one it was.They all played perfect, you can increased the volume level of the 2 small speakers by pressing the menu button and navagate to speakers then select left and the right, changing values from 00 db and -xx down ive got mine on the highest value for testing, then will change back to the default 00 just to compair. Remember db the higher the number the lower the level, or something like that 😭When it comes to playing a movie, obviously it must have a 5.1 sound track else your not going to hear anything special happen.Tested "The Wall" and "Top gun mavaric" the both played very good with the left and the right speakers playing sound which would normally not be heard, for example i could hear a jet plane go from the right speaker across to the left and fly off.Some might say 5.1 is now obsolete, but there are many movies, dvd and tv channels broadcasting in 5.1.So overall, a nice system, plays 5.1 when you switch your tvs dolby Atomos off to hear it 🤣I love it and the price was right, you could pay twice this amount and get 2.1Cheers Sony for your telephone support, cheers Bolo for putting up with the many questions 😎ConnectionsHDMI WITH ARC ONLYORHDMI NORMAL AND OPTICAL TUBEORBLUETOOTHAll sounded good
4.0 out of 5 stars The sound could have been better!
The sound quality could have been better, as a Sony brand. However, am happy with it. I use JetAudio sound enhancement from the Google Play Store. Cost about £4 for the whole features. AMAZING! There are so many sound features that come with it. Go for it!!
5.0 out of 5 stars Wireless Bass that never drops out
I've had a few wireless speaker systems, and the bass drivers on all of them were prone to dropping out for a fraction of a second and then cutting back in.This system has been incredible. Not one drop.And the sound? Astounding!I had an old hardwired Surround System from 2003, and it was a great system. roughly the same wattage, and similar specs on paper. This Sony system has beaten it in every measurable way, from being easier to install and easier to use, to having better overall audio clarity.The individual speaker volume control has allowed our "off centre" setup to have a super consistent sound without having one side of the room seem much louder than the other. (decreased the output volume on one side, and it evened it out the listening experience.)Easy to install, easy to use, easy to listen to, easy to recommend.
5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic sound system
Have bought many home theatre surround systems before and had to take ages setting it up, but this one is really just plug in and play,and boy does it play ,the sound is as impressive as being in the cinema, it's belting good ,great for vocals,action movies and music am delighted with it ,and it looks so sleek and compact ,well worth the money too
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent
Had this since March when it was £299 and it’s well worth the money. It’s so loud and the sound sounds amazing with the small speakers behind you. The subwoofer and the sound bar do a great job of bringing the sound really alive. I’m so glad I bought this. The neighbours hate me from playing stuff so loud!

I was enjoying my musics
Sony
Prodotto ottimo per prezzo e prestazioni davvero non credevo! Consegna nei termini e senza intoppi.
Muy buen sonido
Para instalarla es muy sencilla, hay que conectar la barra de sonido por un cable al subwoofer y a mayores, los altavoces traseros conectarlos al controlador que funciona de manera inalámbrica de subwoofer. Una vez conectados entre si, se emparejan automáticamente al conectarlos a la corriente y encenderlos.Se pueden conectar por hdmi, óptico o por bluetooth, en mi caso al televisor por hdmi. Al encender el televisor se enciende el equipo de sonido automáticamente.Produce un sonido envolvente y de gran calidad, pero se nota un poco en falta una regularización entre el volumen frontal del trasero, estos últimos apenas se aprecian en un uso normal.
Great product
Nice prodouct
Ottimo sistema home theatre
Il sistema home theatre della Sony funziona bene, ha un suono pulito e anche potente.Facile da collegare, consiglio di collegarlo con la porta HDMI arc del televisore.Molto comode le casse sourraund senza fili.L'unica pecca e' che non supporta il dolby atmos.
