Bar8 + Sub8 + Rear8
Bar8, Sub8 and Rear8 bought together during recent 50% cashback offer. Replaces a HT-ZF9 system with rears. Significant and worthwhile sonic and aesthetic improvement in each component. Only real quibble regards loss of ZF9's display/on screen menus. Otherwise very happy. Good value when on offer.

Best when paired with a Sony Bravia TV
Had it a couple weeks now and as I have a Sony Bravia TV, they couple so well together…the bass levels could be heavier but this is a good piece of kit…At some point a subwoofer will be purchased. If you are planning to use the the other HDMI port on the Bar for a firestick etc, the HDMI cable supplied with it cannot handle uncompressed Prime or Apple TV streaming and an upgraded to a classified Ultra fast cable is required to get the best out of the bar…

Terrible features
Having to have internet service to use this is ridiculous! Nobody makes anything that works properly anymore, they always need to be updated. Same for your disc players, they never work properly and I’ve got a 30 year old dvd player that still works just fine. Just make something that works out of the box without all of this garbage! The colours in Dolby Vision are muted from what I’m used to and now the picture is flickering

Good but flawed
Good quality but no visual display to show what input is being used is a backward step from my previous Sony soundbar.

Great soundbar.
I am very pleased with this soundbar. Gives you a fantastic sound from your tv. If you really want to go to the next level then add the SW3 subwoofer and RS8 rear speakers. You will not be disappointed.

Amazing sound from Sony Bravia Theatre Bar 8
I waited a couple of months before posting a review of the Sony HT-8000 soundbar The soundbar makes you feel part of whatever film or programme you're watching The 360 Spatial Sound Mapping really works; films that support Dolby Atmos or DTS:X have to be heard to be believed; just amazing quality Setup with a Bravia TV was so easy and enhanced the already great viewing experience

Surround sound not working with Bravia 8 Smart TV.
I purchased the soundbar and subwoofer, which were delivered in September. The surround sound does not work, and I only get sound from the TV. I could have saved a lot of money by just using the TV speakers.

Absolutely a game changer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the first sound bat I ever had. When I turned it on, omg, it blew my mind. I played Pirates of the Caribbean, it sounded like the pirates were literally singing next to me. And the soundtrack quality improves so much that I felt like being in the theater. This is absolutely a great buy if you watch TV at home. Also, my daughter loves to watch Ms Rachel on it too😂

You are missing out without it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s one of those things like … I didn’t realize how bad my sight had been until I had started wearing contacts. Same here. You don’t think you need it until you try it and you can’t go back to boring, flat sound. I love how it has upgraded our movie nights, Netflix sessions, sports and even the voices when we watch the news. Installation was super easy and it just connects to my Apple TV remote though I can pick more specific settings in the app as well.
