SONY HT-S2000 3.1ch Dolby Atmos Compact Soundbar Home Theatre System with Built in Subwoofer and Powerful bass (Dolby Atmos/DTSX, Bluetooth Connectivity, HDMI, Optical, HEC App Control)

I upgraded from my Sony TV’s built-in speakers to the Sony HT-S2000, and the difference is remarkable. Initially, I was hesitant because my TV supports only HDMI ARC (not eARC), but after setting my Fire TV Stick to Dolby Digital Plus Passthrough, the soundbar started receiving Dolby Atmos/5.1 correctly, and the experience completely changed. The dialogue clarity is outstanding, especially while watching shows like Game of Thrones. Background sounds, music, and environmental effects are much more immersive, making every scene feel alive. The built-in bass is surprisingly good for a soundbar without a separate subwoofer, and it’s more than sufficient for my 130 sq. ft. bedroom. I also love the compact design—no extra speakers or wires, yet it creates a wide, cinematic soundstage using Dolby Speaker Virtualizer. If you’re looking for a premium all-in-one soundbar with excellent dialogue clarity, immersive surround effects, and easy setup, I highly recommend the Sony HT-S2000. It has exceeded my expectations and was definitely worth the investment..

Installation was easy, if you have a sony tv the features and performance would be at full extent used. Volume wise little low but you might have to volume up a little but value for money irrespective you got any brand tv

Got this product on time as committed by Amazon. Sony service was prompt to call and schedule appointment. Came in for installation. Sony tech was really good, very polite and explained on the product line up. Good. Coming to the soundbar its very good in terms of design, quality and performance. I went in and choosed on top of Bose TV speaker just because Sony had expansion options. Sound quality is good. Somehow the bluetooth sound clarity is muffled and when heared via ARC the sound is very good. Prime video audio quality in this sound bar with no sub woofer was really good. Overall solid product. Only thing which was annoying is the "Please Wait" displayed when powered on and ot take some time to get going which i have not experienced in other soundbar inhave used. That's why have given 4 star

Good sound quality, very easy to install, compact. Must have to enjoy tv viewing.

In a word excellent, Great. You will love it. Buy sa sw3/5.

Good experience, thank you sony

Initially I have Mivi Sound bar which cost me 3500 and if I will compare the sound quality with this sound bar that is not much difference ,I would recommend if you are looking for deep bass sound bar please don't go with this bar.This bar is good for TV but for music I am not impressed with the sound quality.

Very goog

100% recomendable es un gran producto, estoy muy feliz y contento con la liquidez del sonido y unos bajos sorprendentes

What great sound! This Sony sound bar is quite impressive when paired with my Sony tv. The set up was a snap as I used hdmi 3 on my tv, the arc connection. Next I paired it using -blue tooth- with my phone for music. I listen to Amazon music and use an I phone. I mention the I phone as the Sony OS is android (google tv) and some might think Apple users could have issues, not so in my case. Furthermore, I do not use any of the google settings on the Sony platform and instead run my tv through a Roku 4k stick, and great wifi, which is how the sound-bar operates as well. If you have a Sony tv, the integration will be automatic and work well. I did have some disappointment in the remote that came with the sound bar. Not much customization possible and even digging deep into the audio settings and sound field options on the tv there still was no way to increase or decrease treble, very minimal bass control, and no equalizer at all. Having said all of that, I am still loving my purchase and very, very pleased with the sound from both the hdmi connection and the bluetooth on my new sound bar. The remote is very basic, but works. I ended up putting an app on my phone as the little light on the front of the bar was on bright all the time. I knew there had to be a setting- it is called dimmer, and for some reason the remote that comes with the sound bar is missing that setting! The app I put on my phone is available using a QR code on the quick set up paper, it is called “Home Entertainment” and has the dimmer setting buried within the settings options. I also found other remotes from Sony that had the dimmer button included and have ordered a cpl to try. I am not wanting to grab my phone and open an app each time I watch tv- and the light will come back on (I turned it completely off) if you power off your equipment - I said power off, not turn off. Turning off the tv and bar leaves them in a ready state and they pop right back on… Powering off is what I do each night at the surge protector, or if I am to be away for the day. Overall this is a finely tuned piece of sound equipment that can more than stand alone as a tv bar, or bluetooth music streamer. The sound will surprise most, with NO satellite speakers of any kind needed. It is possible to add on, but for me this sound bar is very impressive and provides much better sound than the tv alone while giving me an option to bluetooth any number of music options from phone, tablet, or Alexa device. The bass is good, the depth of sound is very good and I plan to use it daily. You will fall in love with the sound as I have, and this price for “Sony sound” is an excellent bargain in my opinion… PS, if you ever carried a Walkman, you know exactly what I mean! Update: I did purchase a compatible remote w/ the “dimmer “ control, worked immediately- the light now stays off, have not had to change the setting since… purchased right here for a very low price, I actually ordered two different models to try and they both worked! Love my Sony sound!

For reference, I use the HT-S2000 in the primary bedroom, paired with a smart TV which I stream all content from. I also own two other Atmos soundbars, being the Sony HT-Z9F and Samsung HW-Q930B. I would not cross-shop the HT-S2000 to those as they both have the obvious benefits that come from separate subwoofer and surround speakers. However, I have used the HT-Z9F both with and without the surround and subwoofer, and the HT-S2000 is significantly better sounding in that scenario. Just make sure to set up this unit correctly! Where most reviews miss the mark on this model is that it’s better suited to rooms where you don’t want to add a subwoofer or surround speakers. Both the bass and the sound field from this standalone unit is impressive. For setup, you must change the Sound Field setting from Sony (default) to Dolby, as I found the Dolby setting gave me the clear and full sound I was hoping for. By contrast, the Sony setting sounded compressed and required higher volume level to hear dialogue. To emphasize how important this setting is, if the only option was the Sony setting, my rating would change from 5 stars to 3 stars and I would not recommend it. There is also a DTS option, but I wasn’t able to test it. Conclusion: This is a a perfect small room soundbar for watching TV and movies. It is loud and has enough bass to enjoy movies without a subwoofer. The Dolby sound field setting provides clear dialogue and good surround/Atmos decoding without the need for surround speakers. Highly recommended if your use will be similar to mine.

Material quality and sound clarity both good

You need to know what you are buying. This sound bar is intended for bedrooms and small to medium sized living rooms. It does improve the sound of any tv but it wont be better than a real home theater setup nor more expensive sound bars. I'm using the bar alone without sattelite speakers and subwoofer and I found the sound quit nice, plenty of bass for a bar alone. Remote control is nice, small, responsive, and I like the voice function. The sound bar takes one to two seconds to engage the sound, it does not bother me but I can understand why others would complain about this weird behavior. Five stars compared to others in the same price range. Just watched Rogue One Star Wars (Disney +) and was really impressed with this upgrade. Remember to change your audio tv settings to passthrough to enjoy dolby atmos.
