Excellent Sound, … Disappointing Remote and Custom Controls… But Great Sound!
What great sound! This Sony sound bar is quite impressive when paired with my Sony tv. The set up was a snap as I used hdmi 3 on my tv, the arc connection. Next I paired it using -blue tooth- with my phone for music. I listen to Amazon music and use an I phone. I mention the I phone as the Sony OS is android (google tv) and some might think Apple users could have issues, not so in my case. Furthermore, I do not use any of the google settings on the Sony platform and instead run my tv through a Roku 4k stick, and great wifi, which is how the sound-bar operates as well. If you have a Sony tv, the integration will be automatic and work well. I did have some disappointment in the remote that came with the sound bar. Not much customization possible and even digging deep into the audio settings and sound field options on the tv there still was no way to increase or decrease treble, very minimal bass control, and no equalizer at all. Having said all of that, I am still loving my purchase and very, very pleased with the sound from both the hdmi connection and the bluetooth on my new sound bar. The remote is very basic, but works. I ended up putting an app on my phone as the little light on the front of the bar was on bright all the time. I knew there had to be a setting- it is called dimmer, and for some reason the remote that comes with the sound bar is missing that setting! The app I put on my phone is available using a QR code on the quick set up paper, it is called “Home Entertainment” and has the dimmer setting buried within the settings options. I also found other remotes from Sony that had the dimmer button included and have ordered a cpl to try. I am not wanting to grab my phone and open an app each time I watch tv- and the light will come back on (I turned it completely off) if you power off your equipment – I said power off, not turn off. Turning off the tv and bar leaves them in a ready state and they pop right back on… Powering off is what I do each night at the surge protector, or if I am to be away for the day.Overall this is a finely tuned piece of sound equipment that can more than stand alone as a tv bar, or bluetooth music streamer. The sound will surprise most, with NO satellite speakers of any kind needed. It is possible to add on, but for me this sound bar is very impressive and provides much better sound than the tv alone while giving me an option to bluetooth any number of music options from phone, tablet, or Alexa device. The bass is good, the depth of sound is very good and I plan to use it daily. You will fall in love with the sound as I have, and this price for “Sony sound” is an excellent bargain in my opinion… PS, if you ever carried a Walkman, you know exactly what I mean! Update: I did purchase a compatible remote w/ the “dimmer “ control, worked immediately- the light now stays off, have not had to change the setting since… purchased right here for a very low price, I actually ordered two different models to try and they both worked! Love my Sony sound!

Excellent Soundbar!!
Had purchased a new Sony Bravia 50″ 2024 model. My old LG soundbar would not interface consistently. It had a wireless subwoofer that I had turned down to zero (no sound). So, I was on a search for a new soundbar. I wanted just the soundbar with no separate subwoofer. I don’t need a blasting bass that you can feel. I just wanted clear, crisp, high quality sound for TV, steaming movies, and music. I was also looking for the smallest soundbar possible, particularly in depth. My old LG was very thin but in my research I found in current times, thin soundbars don’t exist anymore. Tried several soundbars. Some were the exact same price and some were more while others were less. My trials included Sonos, Yamaha, Bose also the Bose 600, Vizio, JBL, Samsung and others. Some of these had apps that were very problematic and some of the apps wouldn’t even work on my brand new top of the line Samsung cell phone. For an elderly, I am pretty tech savvy with these types of electronics so I knew what I was doing with every set-up I tried. 12 soundbars later I decided to try the Sony HT-S2000, in spite of some of the negative reviews that I was concerned about. I wish the depth of it was smaller and it didn’t weigh as much as it does. Other than that it is perfect in every way. Clear, crisp, fantastic sound with plenty of bass, across all platforms, and a very easy set up. This is an excelent soundbar that produces very high quality sound. Very happy with this purchase!

Good sound bar for the price
Very good sound bar for the price. Bought it during Prime Days and got it for $200 off. Sound is good, but wish it had more bass. Even with the three levels of bass it provides, I would still add a subwoofer. In addition I would have liked to have had the ability to adjust the mid ranges and highs. System does not allow for that. Great sound for watching streaming and movies. Voices are very clear. However, when listening to music, you need more bass, and again the ability to adjust the highs and mid ranges in the speakers.

Itworks OK on my very old Sony TV without ACR – I now hear voice over music on TV shows and movies
I use this on my very old Sony 52 inch TV and it does what I need it to do. It is more for the later TV’s with ARC and a center channel connection but it does work to allow the dialog over the stupid loud music on all of the new TV shows.I have to connect with the optical cable along with a HDMI cable. Very wasy no brainer installation.I like it and I am happy with it.

Had to make warranty claim but Sony was great about it
UPDATE: To my surprise, a Sony representative called me to apologize for my issues. They reimbursed me for the $40 I had to spend and extended my warranty an extra year. Increased to 5 stars.I have always been partial to Sony and have purchased many Sony products over the years. I am beyond disappointed in this soundbar and the warranty. The soundbar stopped working completely (would not even turn on) about six months after I purchased it. I filed a warranty claim and I had to pay to package the soundbar and to ship it to them at a cost of over $40. Some warranty! To make matters worse, it’s been in for repair for almost two weeks and I was just notified they are waiting on a part they will not have for two weeks. That means this “warranty” cost me $40 and I will be without the soundbar for about a month start to finish.

Meh
It works fine and easily connected to my Sony TV, BUT it sounds the same as my TV, no better. I guess if you have a cheap TV with bad sound it might help, but then again you could just put the cost of this soundbar towards a better TV and avoid the extra component.

For reference, I use the HT-S2000 in the primary bedroom, paired with a smart TV which I stream all content from. I also own two other Atmos soundbars, being the Sony HT-Z9F and Samsung HW-Q930B. I would not cross-shop the HT-S2000 to those as they both have the obvious benefits that come from separate subwoofer and surround speakers. However, I have used the HT-Z9F both with and without the surround and subwoofer, and the HT-S2000 is significantly better sounding in that scenario. Just make sure to set up this unit correctly!Where most reviews miss the mark on this model is that it’s better suited to rooms where you don’t want to add a subwoofer or surround speakers. Both the bass and the sound field from this standalone unit is impressive.For setup, you must change the Sound Field setting from Sony (default) to Dolby, as I found the Dolby setting gave me the clear and full sound I was hoping for. By contrast, the Sony setting sounded compressed and required higher volume level to hear dialogue. To emphasize how important this setting is, if the only option was the Sony setting, my rating would change from 5 stars to 3 stars and I would not recommend it. There is also a DTS option, but I wasn’t able to test it.Conclusion: This is a a perfect small room soundbar for watching TV and movies. It is loud and has enough bass to enjoy movies without a subwoofer. The Dolby sound field setting provides clear dialogue and good surround/Atmos decoding without the need for surround speakers. Highly recommended if your use will be similar to mine.

You need to know what you are buying. This sound bar is intended for bedrooms and small to medium sized living rooms. It does improve the sound of any tv but it wont be better than a real home theater setup nor more expensive sound bars. I’m using the bar alone without sattelite speakers and subwoofer and I found the sound quit nice, plenty of bass for a bar alone. Remote control is nice, small, responsive, and I like the voice function. The sound bar takes one to two seconds to engage the sound, it does not bother me but I can understand why others would complain about this weird behavior. Five stars compared to others in the same price range. Just watched Rogue One Star Wars (Disney +) and was really impressed with this upgrade. Remember to change your audio tv settings to passthrough to enjoy dolby atmos.
