Quick to setup, excellent sound

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2023

Style: HT-A9 Speaker System onlyVerified Purchase

This is the coolest home speaker theatre in a box type solution that I've seen to date. We didn't have a lot of room in our living room for an audio system. We also don't have any wiring for surround sound so I wanted to go with a wireless option. First off, I highly recommend also buying the SW5 sub-woofer for these. You really need that low end to round out the sound. Setup was super simple, I just plugged everything in including the sub then attached the little controller box that comes with these to the tv via the HDMI ARC port and powered it on. All of the speakers including the sub connected automatically which was great. While I was testing these I noticed speakers occasionally losing their connection and dropping out like some people have mentioned in other reviews. There was a little note that came with the speakers which mentioned going to Speaker Settings -> Wireless Speaker Settings -> Wireless Playback Quality and changing from "Sound Quality" to "Connection". After doing that I had no drop-offs at all and the quality of the sound wasn't reduced by any noticeable degree, it still sounds amazing. I also found that I had to reposition a couple of the speakers by a few inches to improve their reception, but other than that it all worked great. Once you have the speakers positioned the way you want them you just run through the automated sound calibration (make sure the room is quiet while doing this) and then you're ready to go. The phantom center speaker does work suprisingly well, however I've been using my 77" Sony A80J TV as the center speaker. If you're looking for the absolute best out of the box home audio experience for your tv and you're willing to spend the money I highly recommend these.

Don’t get a sound bar get this!!

Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2023

Style: HT-A9 Speaker System onlyVerified Purchase

I was very skeptical on this system but I didn’t want to run wires or deal with charging wireless speakers.
I had outlets right where the speaker would be placed so that already was worked out.

Setup:
Easy peasy they setup themselves practically
And linked right away.
Ran the calibration and boom welcome to spatial sound

Speakers:
Well constructed I don’t mind the color tho some may wish it came in black. They all syncd with no issue. Also I have not experienced any drop outs.
Keep in mind having a wireless router near these can cause issues I’d suggest moving it out of the area to another room.

Sound:
I have to say these thing do as advertised.
Sony has always been a top tier brand and this is a reminder why.
This witchcraft of audio is truly revolutionary.
Now with that said no it’s not going to be as loud as a home theatre but if you dont want to run wires and deal with that nonsense this is for you.
I’ve never had to go above 50 it’s plenty loud.
As far as configuration my room is odd and have the tv in the corner so the speakers are also at corners and let me tell you it still does the spatial and atmos thing beautifully.
I will advise you should get the subwoofer I opted for the sw5 and it shakes the house amazing .
Highs and mids are covered very well.

Streaming:
You can stream to the device (hta9)
With Spotify or Amazon music sounds awesome
Especially if you do some spatial sound music
Listening to music is def an experience with the “special effects”

Cost:
This is expensive yes I got this during a sale subwoofer and hta9 for 1800 which wasn’t bad in hindsight for how the system sounds.
Is it worth it over a sound bar. Yes!
I’d pick this system over any soundbar.

Cons:
Pass through of vrr is not supported yet
Not really a deal breaker as I would only use arc connection and have hdmi straight to the tv.

Overall:

Very nice top quality home theatre system.
Atmos and spatial sound are awesome.
Get it and forget about the money

Need the 300w Subwoofer

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2024

Style: HT-A9 Speaker System onlyVerified Purchase

The speaker system is flat and unappealing without the big subwoofer which needs to be even bigger. Don’t waste money on the smaller 200w subwoofer and don’t buy the refurbished woofer. They link and setup very easy. Make sure the Sony TV has the EARC volume turned up 100%. Took a while to figure that out. The system would play Bluetooth music and DVD but no TV sound. The speakers cannot be to close 36” or more apart and not angled at close distances. The area above the speakers needs to be open and not in a corner or against a wall as it has to bounce the sound. It does sound like a larger system. It will not go extremely loud. It can get fairly loud, but if you want to hear and feel like you are next to a rocket launch or airplane takeoff I suggest a different system with a 1,000watts as the 300w subwoofer not included and the 7# speaker are not strong enough. If you like normal listening music and normal romantic movies or a thriller, this will work well. It has not astounded me but the system simplicity and ease of use works well. The power cord for the speakers are crazy short like 5 feet, I had to buy 10 footers right away to get to an outlet. Although wireless, there is a power cord hanging down the wall on each speaker unless you hide them some way. I suggest a speaker stand with a cable management system. The Bluetooth works really well and once setup, you can forget needing to touch it again. It turns on flawlessly with my Sony XR- 55A80J and adjust the sound with the TV remote. Recommend Sony everything (Blu-ray, DVD, Play Station, TV) so only one remote is needed and not 4 or five. Is it worth the expense, I would say not unless you can get it on sale. Do not get refurbished, we tried that and the product was broken and terrible, it appears all they do to refurbished is make sure it turns on (powers up). Best of luck to you.

Wireless Sound with a hefty price tag

Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2023

Style: HT-A9 Speaker System onlyVerified Purchase

Convenient wireless surround sound that is easy to setup and has special setup if you are connecting to a Sony Bravia XR system. Fairly easy setup, price does not include a subwoofer but manageable. Just follow the setup on screen and you will have a great sounding system in less than 1 hour.

It works like I was expecting it too. If you can afford the sw5 subwoofer buy it. The system and the woofer sound good together. If I can give an advice , install the system at least 1foot and plus away from your tv and itch item as to be symmetrical to itch other

Mejor que cualquier otro sistema

Reviewed in Mexico on July 23, 2022

Style: HT-A9 Speaker System onlyVerified Purchase

Yo tenía idea de comprar ir recibidor e instalar bocinas, incluso cuando construí mi casa dejé todo cableado, pero el mundo del sonido está lleno de sobre de promesas que cuestan una locura y que son cero amigables o que traen features que a nadie le importan y los lo que si quieres.
Este systems ha sido simplemente lo mejor, se escucha espectacular y es lo más simple de instalar, si tuve unos problemas con sonido desconectándose, pero fue tan fácil como mover el cerebro de lugar y ya.
Es caro, pero simplifica tanto que lo vale, y un sistema mejor sería doblemente caro.

Sound breaks resolution

Reviewed in Canada on May 12, 2023

Style: HT-A9 Speaker System onlyVerified Purchase

After a week's use of the system, the sound this morning started to breakup.
1. Change the ARC HDMI cable... No difference
2. Unplugged the control box AC several times.
3. At one point when the control box was repowered, the HELLO salutation was on the screen but it stayed there and did not respond to any remote control command.
4. Depowered the control box, once again, and upon repowering, the control box resumed normal operation. In a subsequent instance where the HELLO remained fixed, waited 5 minutes and the control box resumed normal operation. Wondering if the sound glitch is something I will need to live with ?
5. I assume the control box was reset and configured speaker installation in my room.
6. Sound back to normal without glitches.
Finally: The problem is not the control box ! The following setting adjustment is the resolution:
Setup/Advance setup/Speakers/Wireless/RF = Change from Yes to No.
In spite of having RF OFF the sounds breaks off, press HOME then setup and on the tv screen to the right of Advance Settings, you will see RF... Turn it ON and see the software configure the speakers for RF and this will resolve the issue.
And another setting is available to have a stable sound with no breakups: Advance settings/Speaker settings/Wireless settings/Quality playback: Change from Sound Quality to Connection.
Unfortunately reviewers do not have the patience to find out how to correct dropouts... I invested the time and you can follow what I did.
BTW, I elected to take the 200 watt subwoofer, because I live in an apartment house and I am perfectly happy especially for music listening. I do have a problem with this SW3 woofer and that is the power cord does not lock in the device power port. I needed to secure with tapes. Cannot touch the unit because the power cord cannot ne anchored normally. Install Tapes over and under the cable connected to the woofer than install tapes across these two tapes so they wont move.
And, I always leave the sound on IMMERSIVE AE for all listening situations.

Well it's been a few months if near daily use I paired it w the sony 65 inch tv

I am happy! I live in a cabin with no immediate neighbors

I run on starlink

My walls are approximately 8ft tall

Solid pine home

This system is perfect for me

I upgraded the sub as i can blast whatever whenever no risk of complaints

At times if the speaker has been moved ot may cause a signal distribution problem

So all you do is use the remote and do a reset.

Be sure to be sure you have the speaker where you want and leave it

Be still while it reads the room to create that bubble you find yourself in

Different sound settings are nice

I am not a techi in anyway and i did this with ease

Be sure to have a power outlet close as cord is short.

Clean sound
House rumbling base

It's fun to listen to music and hear things i didn't before

Same with viewing. You appreciate things that you couldn't before

Costly yes. But be be honest with what you are waiting

The smaller sub though ive never used would be more suitable for say...city accommodations

Also be aware i have nothing to upset signals here

Condos apartments.....not sure.

HAPPY
