Just another soundbar by Sony, awesome sound, quality, ease of use, features, audio quality and nice bass as expected from Sony and especially for the price!!! Great buy, thank you so much!!!!

Very good just easy to set up and you are away but it could have had 2 hdmi ports buts it’s still a great soundba

I was dubious! 7.1 virtual surround with Atmos, well, whatever the result it will be miles better than the TV speakers. Well, I am amazed by the sound quality, and it truly surrounds you in a bubble of audio heaven. The Atmos firing for overhead object sound shocked me too. Of course not as good as overhead speakers, but wow. To summarise, I am impressed with this Sony HT-G700 – 3.1ch Dolby Atmos / DTS:X Soundbar with wireless subwoofer. So much so, I’m going to be upgrading my other 4K Smart TVs around the house too. Oh, and the subwoofer punches way above its belt. Movies, TV Shows and music sounds fantastic.

I was looking for a upgrade to my current soundbar, and I see this one. I read the reviews and I am very happy with my purchase. It’s easy to install and the sound is exceptional, 400watts of power is more than enough to keep anyone happy. The sound is clear and you can adjust the settings with the remote as well. Watching films, listening to music, or playing games on your console is even more enjoyable. The deep bass is excellent, and you can feel the sound. One of the best soundbars around for the money!

This is a proper and very powerful soundbar. Bass is very strong and that might be a downside for some users. The sound quality is very good. It connects my smartphone swiftly even when it is on sleep mode. In addition, you can hear very strong/loud sounds from Bluetooth devices including smartphones. I still ask for a return because it is not compatible with my smart LG TV. I spent days to do the connection to my TV ARC port with failure. I received good support from Sony customer care. I tried different cables etc. I tried everything but it did not work. There is one more point I need to mention I also fail to update the software of the soundbar. Again I also tried hard but every time with even different USB memories/computers I could not update the software. It gave an error at each attempt. Sony offered me a free of charge service if I could take the device to one of their service outlets but I prefer to return i

Having considered various sound bars the HT-G700 is considerably *less* feature-full than some of the competition; no WiFi, ChromeCast, AirPlay etc – and actually that was one of the draws as it’s one less device that’s clamouring for network bandwidth and requires me to have yet another app to manage it. It’s connected to a TV with all those features, and a SkyQ box which also has those features.

Our TV (and therefore sound bar) is wall-mounted. The HT-G700 comes with a simple paper mounting template which confusingly has four points on it despite only having two holes for mounting the unit. No special brackets are required, it just hooks over two screws. The downside of this is that it’s harder to mount level accurately and there’s no adjustment if one of the screws is very slightly off by 1mm which, over the length of the bar, is definitely visible!

The build quality is good, as you’d expect from Sony, and the remote feels quite polished compared to a lot of sound bars (although if you drop it, the battery compartment flies open, which is a bit annoying – this clip could be designed better!)

Sound quality is very subjective. My own opinion is it’s ‘good’ – not as good as some of the higher end sound bars (but it’s a quarter of the price) but will way surpass any built in TV speakers. This is a 3.1 system and you can tell the centre is there which is good, but beware of the claims that it’s “7.1” or Dolby Atmos – it decodes it, yes, but there are only three speakers in the bar, plus the sub, and it doesn’t have any upfiring speakers designed to emulate ceiling or surround speakers.

It supports eARC, but also decodes Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Dolby Digital, DTS-HD which is quite unusual at this end of the market. Again, it doesn’t have the required number of speakers to take full advantage of it but the support is good to have and it makes a valiant effort to emulate the speakers using Sony’s own virtual sound processing technology.

Dialogue is crisp and clear, higher frequencies are well reproduced as are the lower frequencies (although the sub is limited by the small driver) – it’s a little muddy in the mids but generally works well for most TV, movie, and music content (although music lovers not caring about the subwoofer might be better off with some of the Sonos products)

Night mode is a nice touch too for not disturbing the neighbours or sleeping family members, it changes the overall EQ and reduces the impact of the sub at a push of a button whilst still offering an improvement over any TV’s built-in speakers.

When this launched it was 450, it was a good sound bar then but some of the competition at the time was better around the same price point. It’s now around 250 and at this price it’s a seriously impressive offering; you’d probably have to pay about 3x as much to get something significantly better.

Lovely sound. Sub could do with a little more base? Otherwise Great addition to my Sony System. This clip is just from Netflix but still in 4k. Films on Sony 4k Player are even better.

As an upgrade for my flatscreen’s tinny speakers this is really very good. The sound is well balanced, though don’t buy it on the strength of the claims of ‘verticality’ – I’ve played Atmos content through it and it sounds very nice but it’s no sort of surround system, never mid filling you into thinking sounds are coming from above.
Setup is super-easy, sub connects wirelessly without any user intervention so I plugged it into my TV’s ARC channel and away I went. There’s a few options inside the menus but most likely you’ll refer to the manual to set those then forever leave them as they are. Settings you might want to change more regularly (night mode the example) have dedicated buttons on the remote, which is nice. Beyond that – don’t expect any bells and whistles. There’s no ‘smart’ features (the bar doesn’t even have a network connection). It’s a nice size, about the same width as my 50″ TV. Overall it does the job very well at a reasonable price.

Super easy to set-up but you need your own HDMI cable. Paired with an LG C9, I can now watch all content on Prime Video without needing to turn on subtitles – and it sounds great. Before, when I was on the default TV speakers, I needed subtitles for most Prime Video content and some Netflix content.
Where this soundbar + sub really shine is when you watch 5.1 content or Dolby Atmos optimised content, it’s loud, it’s clear and you feel the bass.
Dialogue is still at times a little hard to hear, but 90% of the time it’s perfec

The sound out off this is amazing in my opinion . I mounted the sound bar under the tv and placed the sub on the other end off my living room. Doing this for me made the sound even better .
One massive draw back for this product is the stupid 2 small holes they put on the sound bar for anyone who wants to mount it like I did .
I had to use a drill and widen the hole where you put in the two bolts that support it as when installed there wasn’t enough holding the bar and I was afraid it would fall off . Anyone who has hung this under a tv or wall mounted it will know what I’m talking about .
Over all I’m very impressed with the sound and love it .
If you plan to mount it under your tv where it moves with the tv when you pull the tv off the wall with the movable bracket and don’t want the hassle off making the entrance holes wider on the sound bar I suggest you buy the small shelf that can be attached to the tv and the sound bar simply sits on it .
