Sony HT-CT180 Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer (100 W, Clear Audio Plus, Virtual Surround Sound, Bluetooth and NFC)

This is a premium product at a bargain price. Setup is a doddle, wireless subwoofer allows it to be placed anywhere you like without messy cables. Sound quality is as you would expect from Sony, top notch, extremely clear and precise sound. One niggle is that the power leads on the sound bar and woofer are a little short. Also if you get an echo sound when connected to your tv, just disable your tvs internal speaker. Should also note that the subwoofer volume can be controlled by the remote, which is a nice touch. Bluetooth music steaming also works great from your smartphone as is easily paired with nfc.

Ok so it's not the loudest system in the world but for the price it's great. Quality of the sound is good with good range and clear voices. On music the bass is excellent with the option of turning the subwoofer up or down separate to the main bar. No lag on sound compared to screen from what I have seen. Over all you get what you pay for and this looks good. Sounds good and most of all does the job brilliantly.

I'm not a techie at all, but the soundbar and sub woofer sound really good to me in a normal sized living room. My tv doesn't have an optical connection so (as advised by Sony) mine is connected via the headphone socket on the tv. It was so easy to set up - just plug in and go. The sound is good, with plenty of volume to spare. I use it for listening to the tv and also for listening to music through Spotify from my tablet using the bluetooth capability. I would agree with other reviewers, though, that some kind of volume indicator would be a bonus. I have experienced no sound lag at all.

Using it in the bedroom for a 40 inch Tv,iPad and my mobile.Sound is obviously a huge step up from the weak tv speakers on all slim Tv's. Easy to set up with Bluetooth for all your devices and soundbar looks good.Sub woofer is just ok when using surround sound,was expecting a bit more kick but will do for medium size rooms. Really solid product for the price,would recommend to newcomers using sound bars,speaker systems.

If you own a flat screen television with speakers that don't give you the sound you truly want, yet can't afford a surround sound setup.... then you are left either with the TV alone or tempted to buy a soundbar. I confess that I was in that bracket. I own a HUD 4K Sony and blu ray package, the speakers are ok, but I wanted more detail. And that is where I decided to go for a soundbar. I believed that the soundbar and subwoofer combo of the CT180 would do the business. I was sadly mistaken. The package itself comes in an L shaped box, and when you unpack it, you find that the subwoofer is linked wirelessly to the soundbar. It can be awkward to link them, and get your TV or blu ray to link to them either via Bluetooth or optical cable. When you finally get it all working you will find that the subwoofer reacts well to the lower end of the range but is a little gutless u less you push the volume up. And the soundbar is slightly tinny to midrange but doesn't do a movie soundtrack justice. In fact, it's surround sound feature doesn't work. No matter how many whistles and bells are proudly announces on the box, the add one just don't work the way you would hope, want or expect for £139. For that price, you can buy a Yamaha surround sound package with more guts and gusto. Not to mention the fact that the soundbar is trying to cover all bases with treble and mid range compared to say the Yamaha system. So in conclusion would I recommend this product? If you want to stream music via your laptop or phone via NFC or Bluetooth, then yes, it is a decent enough product to do that well. But if you're looking for an important addition to you TV and movie viewing then I would suggest you steer clear of soundbars in general. It's good but it's not right. 3 stars I'm afraid and it was sent back by me to Amazon. Shame....

Just fitted this to my Sony Bravia via optical cable (supplied) and also connected to my Sony Xperia Z5 via Bluetooth. The sound is fantastic, the bass is out of this world, I can't believe what I've been missing. The bar itself is beautifully manufactured and is of Sony's usual high standard. The subwoofer is a great addition but it is a bit big, however you soon forget about the size when you feel the bass. I'm playing Hall and Oates via Bluetooth from my phone and the sound is crystal clear and the bass is awesome, looking forward to watching some gigs on the tv

Holy monkeys, this is a spectacular soundbar! Got a new 40" flat screen as a wedding gift, which has great picture quality but the sound was a little bit tinny, and lacked bass. Immediately ordered this soundbar based on strength of reviews, and I have been delighted by it in every way. The added depth from the subwoofer makes a huge difference to the experience. The array of features, audio quality, and sheer power of the subwoofer are all incredible.

Had to return this product as unable to sync sound with the pictures. We have a sony TV so I thought I would get the sony soundbar. On the plus side it looks good and has a wireless sub woofer so this can be placed anywhere and the sound is very good. However, when you connect with the optical cable the sound is behind the action meaning you cannot lips sync the tv and sound bar. Connecting the analogue lead into the headphones socket is better but still out meaning, ​if you turn up the sound on the tv there is still a noticeable delay. on reading the troubleshooting instructions is said when playing a movie the sound will be delayed! I went onto the forums thinking I would be able to resolve the issue by changing settings on the tv but it seems this is a common problem with this particular soundbar and I could not find a fix even with the suggested hard reset. This makes tv unwatchable in my opinion and so unit had to go back which is a shame. I could not recommend this product.

Great little surround sound. Great buy for a small price but takes some experimenting to get it to work the way you want it.

Entrega mucho antes de lo previsto. Super barra, con un súper sonido, El precio es fantástico. Lo probé en una tienda bestbay, y comparé con otras barras, y esta me encantó. Ahí estaba en casi 5 mil pesos, y wow lo a vi aquí en Amazon en menos de 3 mil. Estoy fascinado.

Sound quality not as expected. Need NFL download for Bluetooth pairing.

Me llegó mucho antes de lo esperado y en perfectas condiciones. Muy práctica y fácil de usar y el sonido ni se diga! Vale la pena totalmente

Primero, el tiempo de entrega de DHL, excepcional. Segundo, la barra de sonido suena nítida y clara, no tan potente como otras pero si aceptable en espacios pequeños. Una buena compra.
