    Customers like the bluetooth connectivity of the speakers. For example, they say it's phenomenal, it syncs nicely with their mobile phone, and the subwoofer links up automatically via Bluetooth. Some like that the wireless sub connected with no problem. That said, most are happy with the connectivity and the fact that it pairs nicely with a Sony Bravia TV.

    "...It also has a subwoofer which connects, using bluetooth, which is handy and wire-free. One of these two processes is delaying the audio signal...." Read more

    "...I love the additional subwoofer and the Bluetooth function. I would say to use this for a regular sized living room and you should be fine...." Read more

    "...the HDMI plug on the soundbar is substandard and will randomly loose connection to the TV. Wiggling it brings it back...." Read more

    "...The design of the bar is pleasing. It has similar design cues as the PS4 Pro with rounded corners. The buttons on top work great when I've used them...." Read more

    "...Lots of options to change and customize. As design is very minimalist there are very few visual cues about what you are doing...." Read more

    "...Fit exact width of chest of drawers. Looks nice and the blue tooth base fit nicely on the bottom shelf of a bookcase." Read more

    162 customers mention98 positive64 negative

    Customers are mixed about the sound quality of the speakers. Some mention that the sound was good, and there is great separation in sound, while others say that it's weak and insignificant. The subwoofer bass isn't as booming as others, and the speakers stopped output sound. The bass is pretty good, but it could have a little more treble, and it has fairly shrill highs.

    "...Games and movies sound great. It's not "surround sound", it's stereo. The bass is effective, not overpowered...." Read more

    "...However during low level volume it is very underwhelming. Closer toward top end volume do you notice and feel the bass...." Read more

    "...selected the input and begin watching something, it will often stop receiving the signal and stop playing the sound until I again select the input...." Read more

    "...Games and movies sound great. It's not "surround sound", it's stereo. The bass is effective, not overpowered...." Read more

    15 customers mention0 positive15 negative

    "...Otherwise the TV randomly turns on even when both systems are powered off" Read more

    "...but due to the configuration of the jack on the sound bar I could not even plug it in. Sony really dropped the ball on this one...." Read more

    "...It won’t even turn on. Pretty disappointing. Expected more from such a reputable brand." Read more

    "...Only used a proximally 30 times and the sub woofer will not power on...." Read more

    Good but not overwhelming
    Excellent sound bar to replace the stock built in speakers of my Panasonic plasma tv. The clarity and quality of the sound is so much better. I can understand what people are saying without having the volume too loud. Thanks to the sub I actually have bass now. However during low level volume it is very underwhelming. Closer toward top end volume do you notice and feel the bass. If your looking for real bass buy a different unit. Other than that I'm very satisfied overall. I love the fact that I can connect my phone via Bluetooth. Currently I have the sound bar mounted underneath my tv which is mounted on a swivel wall mount and the sub on the floor.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Sony HTCT290 Ultra-Slim 300W Sound Bar + Subwoofer
    Reviewed in Canada on May 13, 2017
    An awesome sound bar + subwoofer combo. Super simple to set up and a quality sound output. The setup was quick and took me about 15 minutes from the time of unboxing. It comes in a L shaped awkward to open box. But it's well padded and protected. I don't need to mount the sound bar so I can't comment on that.
    Over the past few weeks i've used the sound bar daily. Everything about the Sony HTCT290 says one thing: simplicity. With the bluetooth enabled I am able to walk into adjacent rooms with my laptop or iPhone and i'm still able to play my music/tv shows audio without skipping, lagging, or losing the signal. The furthest i've stepped away from the sound bar with a bluetooth signal connected playing music was about 30ft. The quality of the music drops off a bit with heavy EDM between 80-90% max volume. At which point i'm already filling an entire floor of a house with music, so i'm not complaining. With pretty well all other genres of music you'll be still getting quality sound at the same volume level.

    The sound bar definitely enhances the movie, tv show, Youtube video watching experience. I use the sound bar through my TV's optical connection and it delivers crisp sound and decent bass for whatever i'm watching through my android box or playing through my Xbox One. I don't think this is the best sound bar combo there is on the market. However for a mid-range sound bar + subwoofer combo, I don't have any complaints about my experiences thus far.

    Since there isn't much for specs in the description I'll save you trying to search them out and post them here:
