Review on Soundbar Sony HT-CT290/HT-CT291 by Alvin Yau ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Feel free to buy, for such a price, the quality is simply amazing.

A normal device if your task is to significantly improve the sound of regular TV speakers, while there is no task to surprise guests with "huge cool speakers with fashionable nameplates." The device is also not suitable for those who like very (!) Loud music at parties (so that the glass trembles and the enamel of the teeth cracks). Although if you decide to watch a movie at full volume, you are guaranteed a knock on the battery. Do not even try to assess the volume in a large store - you will not understand anything. Just compare stock speakers and soundbar. The device fully justifies the investment.

Pros
  • The sound quality is far superior to the 100K (55") built-in SONY TV speakers. Simple connection. Wireless sub. You can listen to music via Bluetooth from your phone or computer. The sound is controlled from the TV remote control and turns on with the TV synchronously. You can put it on a shelf, you can hang it on the wall. After the third glass, you can easily dance to it in a small room (25 sq. M) under Stas Mikhailov.
Cons
  • No authorization when connecting via Bluetooth. There is a suspicion that the neighbors can connect to the acoustics through the wall and cut something in the middle of the night. No wireless connection to TV (maybe in my case). HDMI (ARC) only. Sometimes the TV set loses synchronization with the acoustics and switches to the built-in speakers - the soundbar is turned off / on. This usually happens when switching sources heavily. So far, only the TV is working - there has never been a problem.
