I have been testing the Sony HT-AX7 for a few weeks and I am generally very satisfied. The first thing I noticed was the durable cardboard packaging. The installation was very easy. Once I had downloaded the app, I was pleasantly surprised by the possibilities: the sound can be adjusted for the best possible sound experience, whether you are listening to music or watching a film. It is a useful product if you like not to be dependent on the location of a power outlet, because it is completely wireless. This makes it mobile and you can easily take it with you to another room in the house.
I do think the price is a bit on the high side, it is not a product that people will just buy.

Unfortunately, the Sony HT-AX7 is not what I had hoped for. Although it is a wireless system, the sound quality leaves a lot to be desired. The surround sound is not really impressive and I did not feel immersed in the audio, which is especially disappointing with movies and games.

The setup may be simple, but that does not make it any better. The lack of powerful bass is a big drawback; I really miss the punch with action movies and music. Furthermore, the sound settings are quite limited, which makes it difficult to adjust the sound to what I am watching or listening to.

The design is compact, but that does not automatically make the system better. I expected it to have more advanced features for the price, but that is not the case. Compared to other models I have tried, the HT-AX7 simply feels disappointing. If you are really looking for a good wireless sound system, I would recommend looking elsewhere.

• sound is disappointing

The Sony HT-AX7 speaker set presents itself as a stylish solution for those looking for a mobile surround experience. With a modern design and ease of use, the set is attractive to a wide audience. However, after extensive testing, a few important points of concern have emerged.

Firstly, the price is considerable, which creates high expectations. Unfortunately, the sound quality is not entirely met; the bass is less powerful than desired and the satellites produce somewhat thin sounds. This may be disappointing for users who expect a premium audio experience.

Furthermore, it was a bit strange that only a USB-C cable was included to charge the device. The battery does last a very long time, but at some point you will have to charge it and for the price, I think Sony could have included a charger. In fact, they should send it on request if you ask me.

There is also a worrying aspect of privacy. The user is asked several times during installation to accept the terms of use, which raises questions about how and what data is collected and managed. While it is possible to continue the installation without agreeing, it gave me pause..

To be fair, the set looks good. And under certain circumstances, the size and weight can be very advantageous. I wouldn't call it a mobile set, because it is a bit of a fiddly job with the two small speakers that are more or less loose on top. But for a surround set, it is certainly easy to move.

All in all, the Sony HT-AX7 speaker set can be a good choice for those who want a mobile and stylish product for a semi-cinema experience on a laptop or tablet. However, audiophiles should be aware of the price-performance ratio and the aforementioned concerns about sound quality and privacy before opening their wallets...
