Pros and cons

According to our soundbar expert

  • You can listen to a room-filling sound with the deep bass of the subwoofer.
  • Thanks to the rear speakers, you can listen to a true surround sound.
  • You have to purchase a HDMI cable yourself to connect the soundbar to the TV.

Description

The Sony HT-S20R is the basis for a home cinema set. The set includes a soundbar, 2 rear speakers, and a subwoofer. You can enjoy a 5.1 sound setup, which ensures the sound comes from in front of you as well as from behind you. The set has a 400W power, so you can fill a large living room with sound. Want to stream music to the speakers after the movie? Connect your smartphone or tablet wirelessly via Bluetooth and listen to your favorite songs. Note: you can connect the subwoofer corded with a short cable. This way, you can place the subwoofer close to the TV, not everywhere in the room.

Good price/quality.

  • Solid material
  • black color
  • Rear speakers included
  • Rear speaker connection

Sony remains one of my favorite brands. This set is affordable and has a higher power than average. A small disadvantage is that all connections are made via the subwoofer. Would be easier to hide cables if you can connect via the soundbar itself. The rear speakers are equipped with meters of cable. Nowadays most people already have cables that come from the ceiling/wall. To connect these, you must therefore cut the original cables on the speakers and connect them to the cables provided in the house. It would have been better if you could just click the audio cable into the speakers. Enough options to connect to TV, especially HDMI AEC, so that all devices connected to the TV can be used via the soundbar. Bluetooth function works perfectly and is convenient to stream music via smartphone. For those who do not want to free up a large budget for a soundbar, this is a free complete set!

Nice soundbar, good sound quality, shame about the cables.

  • sound quality
  • user-friendliness
  • Switching between sources is perfect
  • Cables

We are very satisfied with this set. We think the sound is very beautiful and diverse. We use the set for basically all sound in the living room. The set is set up very quickly and the soundbar looks nice. I only gave 2 stars for connection options because I don't like the cables so much. The cables are too short to hide nicely in a larger living room. In addition, the subwoofer is also very large, this does not necessarily have to be considered a negative. This is the first soundbar we use and it is a huge improvement over the sound of the TV, I recommend it for that fact alone. In addition, the soundbar looks nice under the TV. In addition to TV use, we also use it daily for music via the bluetooth function. Switching between sources works perfectly. There are a number of possibilities to adjust the sound settings yourself, in my opinion this is not necessary and the set adapts well.

Great set for an even better price!

This set is a very good investment as I care a lot about good sound and I can now experience my favorite programs and series even more intensely! Unfortunately my neighbors think otherwise
