   Amazing for < $100 Wow I was not expecting much for a soundbar in this price range, but it's simply a great value. I got this to go with a very cheap 4k Pioneer 42" TV I bought for my office. Essentially my problem with the TV's sound was that it sounded like a tin can, but hey the TV was $240 at Bestbuy...The sound is good, obviously it is lacking a dedicated base, but for watching most things it is fine. It seems very good at enhancing voices so I like that. It also worked flawlessly with the tv's ARC port and the apple tv 4k. With almost no configuration the apple tv detected this and it started working with the volume controls on the remote and automatically turns on when the apple tv remote turns on the TV itself. It's honestly less hassle than using apple HomePods with the Apple TV.

   Good sound bar for HDMI ARC
   My issue on my Samsung TV was low volume when using our cable box. Worked fine with Netflix and Prime. Tried another brand and the opposite happened and volume was not great. Sent it back and purchased this SONY. Easy to install and worked great on all inputs using the HDMI ARC output. Sounds great and happy with the purchase.

   Great Compact Soundbar for Home Office Use
   The Sony S100F 2.0ch Soundbar is a solid choice for enhancing sound in a smaller space, like a home office. Its compact design makes it easy to fit just about anywhere, and the setup was super simple—took me just a few minutes to get it connected via Bluetooth.The sound quality is impressive for such a small unit, with clear vocals and balanced sound. The bass reflex speaker adds some depth to the audio, though it’s not quite as punchy as larger soundbars. But for casual music, video calls, or even watching shows in a smaller room, it works great!The build quality feels solid, and I appreciate the integrated tweeter for a cleaner listening experience. Overall, it’s a great option for anyone looking for a budget-friendly, compact soundbar with decent performance.I knocked off one star just because the bass might not be enough for those who want a more powerful sound or the voice setting. But for my home office, it does the job.

   Only when it works.
   I am giving this sound bar 5 stars, but with reservations. It is compact and not overly large. It fits on my mantle under the mounted tv. This is the second sound bar sent to me. The first one only worked a few days before I had to call Sony and troubleshoot it to find out it was defective. The price was good, however I had to pay UPS to return it to Amazon. I was told I would recoup the loss but as of yesterday that credit had not shown up in my account. First: pros- sleek, lightweight, good sound, good pricing, several ways to connect, seamless hookup with remotes, TVs, streaming devices, good sound. – Cons: I turn my tv off at night and then when I want to watch again, the sound bar won’t work. I am forever having to unplug the bar, tv, and fire stick to have any audio. This does not make sense. There is notations of the bar going into mute when you turn the device off, and it depending on what configuration you start up again, ie: tv first, sound bar first, streaming device, etc., it can go into mute mode. This is ridiculous. You want, or at least I do, one remote for everything so you don’t have to keep up with remotes for each device. I have a Sharp, interactive smart tv, and use a fire stick for my “cable”. I have no choice as I use the “gig” internet and that provider for my cable channels. My provider encourages you to use your own devices to receive the channels they offer so for us it’s the fire stick for cable and streaming. This should not be the problem with the bar not connecting and/or going into mute mode because of you turning your tv on. Since the description of this sound bar uses the seamless hookup as one of the advantages of purchasing this product, the manufacturer should design it to come on and work, regardless of what sequence your remote turns all the devices on. Amazon replaced the first unit (had it about two weeks, one using it, one trying to figure out what was wrong). Sony was good at troubleshooting but was no help at replacing the unit, even with me supplying the invoice, etc. After the troubleshooting, and me providing the invoice by email, I never heard from Sony again, so any compliment I give for customer service is to Amazon, which had me a new one ASAP. I might note that this didn’t start happening until this week. We have had the replacement only about two weeks now, so this occurrence may possibly be another defective unit. I bought a protection plan because of the reviews about this product. I maybe should have just bought another product than this one. Independent analysis of sound bars at the time I purchased the first one had this one as #1. I will update later if I continue to have to reboot everything to get it to work. I forgot to mention I am using the HDMI-ARC hookup which is the one suggested. Update: I think I found the answer on Sony’s website. Using an option on the remote – ie:voice – turns the HDMI-ARC option off. Since that is my connection method unconsciously I have been muting for restarting my connection, when trying to set the bar for better voice, less background. This bar does have good sound, very decent wattage and a reasonable price. I will stick with – now – 5 stars.

   Much improved sound
   I have an older Sony TV, bought around 2015, and an Amazon Firestick, which coordinated everything once I hooked up the Soundbar. The sound on my TV improved by around 50%, and the only remote I need is the Firestick. I definitely recommend both for older TVs which might not be as smart as more up to date TV’s.In any event I’m very happy with the Soundbar, easy hookup, much improved sound, at a great price.

   Sounds decent for the price
   The bad : it was a little too tall and a little too wide to fit in front of my tv , so I had to set it behind my tv . It could have a more bassThe good: it has good sound and was easy to install .

   Why did I wait so long to get This?
   I have an older widescreen TV that doesn’t have an ARC HDMI connection that newer TVs have, so I needed a soundbar with an optical cable port. I bought this soundbar because it had good reviews and was only $99, appropriate for an older TV with questionable audio technology.No complaints on sound quality! Before I got the soundbar I had subtitles turned on to understand what’s being said as the TV’s speakers made dialogue seem kinda garbled. The sound is so clear and much more vibrant! The only time I turned subtitles on is when I watched “Lawrence of Arabia”, an older movie with foreign accents. Other than that, it’s a pleasure to watch movies and understand what is being said.

   I can’t be sure why there’s any negative reviews here.For us, this is a Godsend. We have a higher end Sony Bravia 42” LED flatscreen TVs purchased in 2010. From day one we used this TV permanently connected to an ex excellent audio system, bypassing it’s internal speakers. We have now purchased a 65” Sony Bravia to replace that set and moved the old one to the bedroom. There, we began to use for the first time with it’s internal speakers, and we’re very disappointed with their sound quality. (But we are used to the very best sound). That TV has rear firing speakers and this was no doubt a concern to our neighbour on the other side of our townhomes shared wall. This Sony sound bar has made a huge difference to the sound quality. It’s front firing, aside from a single rear port for bass reinforcement. This port can be padded down with a foam plug (not included) if desired to reduce its effect on neighbours. It beats the TV’s internal speakers hands down x10. But …. It’s ideally suited to bedroom use. It is NOT a replacement for a dedicated audio system of good quality. It will play loud if desired, but critically to us it plays super clear at low volumes.I suspect that many negative reviews here are from people with unreasonable expectations. It’s NOT a boo box, and frankly a device of this size will never produce earth shaking bass. Physics dictate that. Importantly is does not EXAGGERATE bass. As for connectivity using Bluetooth, and sound quality using music devices, I cannot say. We bought it sold for television use. I wouldn’t expect this to provide HiFi quality music reproduction. It’s pricier than many of the Asian designed and built ones, but well worth it. It’s a real bargain compared to many of the higher priced brand name ones that are 2 and 3 times the cost.

    Had a couple days where it went either louder or quieter for no apparent reason. Other than that works fine now, been using on about 40 volume for a year and still just as bassy and treble-y as when I got it. Trust ol Sony nails it again.
