    Customers like the appearance of the speakers. They mention that it is great looking, sleek, and elegant. The sound bar is much cleaner and takes up less space. The surround sound stuff it does is pretty cool when you're listening to music, and the sound engine is quite impressive.

    Customers like the size of the sound bar. They mention that it doesn't take up much room, fits neatly under the TV, and is decent for a mid-sized room. The size works for just under the television and isn't too heavy. Customers also say that it fills up their room pretty well.

    83 customers mention53 positive30 negative

    Customers are mixed about the quality of the speakers. Some mention it's good for its intended purpose, improving on the sound coming from your small TV, while others say it often disappoints and is terrible. The subwoofer does the job well, but obviously not as well as having a separate one.

    "...The whole interface and remote are needlessly complex and confusing...." Read more

    "...The remote is great. I like the news and voice function when I'm not using the cinema function...." Read more

Some mention that it has clear, great sound, and has lots of options/adjustments based on their preferences, while others say that certain lights mean different settings, and there's no distinct way of knowing what's what. The remote control feels cheaply made, and the lights are confusing to understand.

    "Good size well built. Clear voice. Setting could be a little clearer, but once you read the manual it’s pretty clear." Read more

    "...It has a bunch of presets, stuff that specific to certain kinds of content, all sorts of options...." Read more

    "...The remote is tiny and with no backlight or different size/shape buttons to distinguish them...." Read more

    "...is the fact that it doesn't have a screen but rather uses lights to indicate mode changes...." Read more

    Sounds good easy to install
    We bought this device during a great sale so we saved at least 50% on the purchase. I am really happy with this sound bar.. it was easy to connect via Bluetooth and hang the bar under my TV. It took 10 minutes to install. Another plus is that it has many modes that allows to change the sounds as needed. For the price that we paid it’s well worth it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Sony HT-X8500 is a great choice for a small room.
    Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2021
    I bought a Sony OLED TV and a Yamaha 4K Dolby Atmos receiver. Surround sound worked with the cable box but wouldn't work when streaming. I could not get the TV to pair with the receiver while streaming. My son gave me a Toshiba sound bar and I couldn't get that sound bar to pair with the TV either. I couldn't stand the poor sound quality of the TV so I decided to get a Sony sound bar and hope that I could get the TV to pair with the sound bar. I have a small fortune invested in the Yamaha receiver and Bose speakers. I was looking for a sound bar that gave me value for my money so I selected the Sony HT-X8500. I read some good reviews on Amazon. I have a small TV room and the sound quality is excellent. It was very easy to install. In ten minutes I had it hooked up and paired to the TV. The sound bar has the sub woofers built in so there is no need to find a location for a sub woofer. The remote is great. I like the news and voice function when I'm not using the cinema function. The only thing that I didn't like was that it takes about 15 seconds for the speaker to switch from streaming to cable. If you want a sound bar for a small room you can't go wrong with the Sony HT- X85OO.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Audio excelente en uno solo
    Reviewed in Mexico on December 24, 2021
    Definitivamente la mejor barra de sonido de una sola pieza, la virtualizacion del sonido de 2.1 canales Dolby Atmos y DTS:X hacen que la experiencia en una sala de mediano tamaño hacen que el sonido sea excelente, los efectos de las películas sean claros y parezca que se efectúan de partes distintas de la habitación.

    Una de las cosas que en un principio cuesta trabajo es la codificación de los focos para saber que tipo de configuración de sonido, ya que no tiene una interfaz gráfica.

    Ideal que tienes puerto e-arc para aprovechar todo su potencial, sonido con graves profundos sin llenar tu espacio vital de aparatos teniendo que ya está el sub buffer también integrado.
