SonyHT-S40R 5.1ch Home Theater Soundbar System,black

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. Would recommend even if you are in a small place. You will not regret the purchase.

Setup was fairly easy; the sound is really good and works exactly as I'd hoped it would. The rear speaks are not wireless though - they plug into a router, but they are not wired to the main components so it is easy to mount them on the rear wall - but you do have to still run wires from the router to the two rears speakers.

Update: DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. And if you bought it and are frustrated that it doesn't work, DO NOT send it in for repair, just return it ASAP.We purchased this product and had nothing but problems with it. When we requested to send it in for repair, Sony said they would provide a box, then after multiple emails and calls we were told they would not provide a box, and we needed to pack it ourselves. We then paid $30 to have FedEx to pack it, and shipped it off. It was received and United Radio proceeded to send several emails keeping us updated on the status, letting us know they couldn't replicate the issue. Then out of nowhere, they decided the item was damaged during shipping. At this point, after multiple calls and emails to both Sony and United Radio, they will not provide us proof of the state of the package on arrival and are stating that there is nothing else they will do. Now we have a product that doesn't work AND that was clearly damaged while in the "care" of United Radio. I'm so disappointed in the utter lack of respect and care from Sony. I'll never buy another Sony product again now that I know they simply don't stand behind their products or their customers.---Be aware, the rear surround amp/BT receiver does not work very well.I have mine in line of sight with the subwoofer 8’ away on the floor. I am plagued with random connection issues, sharp audible digital chirps.The main front speaker & sub sound good for the price but the surround is virtually useless. I’m going to contact Sony to see if my surround unit is faulty. It’s possible mine exhibits abnormal behavior but if you buy and experience the same results, feel confident in a return.

Likes mostly. The sound is clear. Good voice and base. Background is what you would expect from a much more expensive system.

I’m enjoying the new set up replacing my previous Sony sound bar and subwoofer. It took minutes to set up. Putting together the rear speaker stands took more time than the plug and play. The rear speakers do their job perfectly as they are meant to do…the extra sound effects like glass breaking, the explosions, bullets zipping by, background chatter from the main character dialogue. Same with console gaming. I usually keep it on standard surround for tv, movie and gaming. The center speakers are a great upgrade from my other one with the three speakers and the sub does its thing. Playing music on the other hand is different, switch to the music setting reading out on the subwoofer. Can play for sure but you’re not having a house party with this setup. Busting the rear speakers would be awful especially for those who have blown car audio know what I mean. All in all…I recommend this setup for Sony fans, easy setup and sounds great.

Even though the product images don't show them, these speakers are wired. The center channel is wired to the subwoofer, and the rear speakers are wired to a Bluetooth module. Those are of course in addition to the power cables. If you are looking for truly wireless Bluetooth speakers, look elsewhere. Also, if you're planning to use USB for a PC or anything else, the USB port is inexplicably on the front of the subwoofer. I like Sony, but this product was designed with several strange choices.

Realmente me desepcionó mucho. Gastar tiempo desempacando y empacando todo no vale la pena. Estaba tan ilusionado de como se escucharía que sin antes probarlo empecé a abrir los hoyos en la pared y cuando lo encendi. La calidad de audio era tan mala que casi lloro. Tienes que ponerlo más del 80% del volumen para poder escuchar algo y si lo pones a un nivel normal a penas puedes escuchar las bocinas traseras. Totalmente descompensado.

Can’t beat the price, great sound for the money.
