Review on πŸ”Š Sony HTX8500 2.1ch Dolby Atmos/DTS:X Soundbar with Integrated Subwoofer in Black by Daryl Barton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great value if you're looking for an Atmos soundbar that won't break the bank.

I wanted to improve the sound for the 4k TV that my wife and I bought for our bedroom. I did some research on Atmos enabled soundbars. Most of them are extremely expensive and come with other attachments. While I don't mind a dedicated subwoofer, this is for the bedroom. So I don't want my neighbors to hate me, and as much as I would like the Sonos Arc, it's just not in the budget right now. I read many reviews about this product and decided to risk it. I'm not the least bit disappointed. This is a well-made (feels premium) and great-sounding bar. What you need to understand about using Atmos in the home is that unless you're willing to go all out with a full system, you're making some kind of compromise if you choose the soundbar. This device is loud enough and has a great soundstage for everything that matters: 4k content, Disney+, Netflix, etc. Tablet. You should really consider this as one of your options if you're in the market to upgrade your sound when buying a new 4k set. This soundbar connects to ARC, that's definitely a plus. I hooked it up to my TCL 5 series kit and highly recommend it.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Some small things
