Sony S100F 2.0ch Sound Bar with Bass Reflex Speaker, Integrated Tweeter and Bluetooth, (HTS100F) (Renewed)

What an improvement in sound quality on my Sony 65" TV. Voices are clearer, music is fuller and I can finally hear sports announcers and not just the crowd noise. Setup could not be easier. Just one HDMI cord, plug it in and its done. (It even worked fine with my non-arc HDMI cord) My dish satalite remote paired up just fine with powering on/off and adjusting volume. The only odd thing is the "holes" built in on the back for wall mounting. They are 18" on center since the standard for walls in a house are 16" I had to get some simple angle brackets, but it is quite light so 2"x2' work fine with velcro holding it in place. (Still invisible mounting)

The TV I'm using this with, lacked in good sound. It is a TCL ROKU TV that has an ARC out (HDMI) jack. When I connected everything, and powered the TV on, the sound bar started with it, no need to turn on with its' remote. My system has a Sony surround system, that I've had since 2008. It is connected with an optic to RCA converter. I can't have the sound bar and the surround on at the same time. If both are on at the same time it sounds like an echo chamber. Regardless of that, the sound with just the Sony sound bar is excellent.

Purchased a "refurbished' unit. Delivery was on-time. Spotted some minor scratches on remote, otherwise unit appears to be new. Comes with power cable, remote, and optical cable for audio (no HDMI). Was a bit surprised how large the device was (reminder to measure next time). Connection was easy. Unit front lights indicate if the device is on-off, but there is no volume indicator on-screen or on the unit itself. Sound is significantly better than my flat-panel TV, although nothing terribly special. For the price, it works. I do wish they provided a new box as the "refurbished" unit I received was just in the previous box, taped up (Sony used to provide different boxes for refurbs).

We needed a better options for sound from a vintage 36” lcd tv we have in our master bedroom. While the picture was fine, the audio from the tiny inbuilt speakers was truly awful. I bought this having seen other positive reviews, and am extremely happy with it. The sound quality Is high, with powerful volume and bass, we could never have imagined such an impressive presence from such a small box. It’s extremely easy to setup and install, and sits nicely on top of the tv screen. Highly recommend.

I also have a Sony sound system with 5 surround speakers and a sub woofer. This one sound bar is almost as enjoyable as that. Definitely better than the sound from the Sony tv. I was concerned about it being refurbished but it is in excellent condition and performs flawlessly

What can I say, a refurbished Sony soundbar for $50 is a good deal. Its an improvement over my TV speakers, but not by much. I was hoping to be blown away with an improvement over the TV speakers. That didn't happen. It has decent sound. I should have invested in something a little better. The HDMI ARC doesn't work with my Hisense set either, that was a disappointment. Fortunately, I bought a 3rd party Roku TV replacement remote that let me program the volume buttons so at least I don't have to deal with using the sound bar remote after all. Some people said the sound was "tinny". Its not that bad.

The refurbished I received looked brand new. My problem with these is they sound terrible. Only slightly better than TV built in speakers. I ordered them based on 4.5 star reviews. The people that rated them high probably is not aware that there are better sounding soundbars out there for the money. I should have read the 1 star reviews before ordering as their reviews are spot on. I say pass on these / dont bother. I returned mine after listening to them for 15 minutes and no matter what adjustment I do the sound quality is just terrible. OK treble, OK mids, almost no bass. Note that I am an aerospace engineer and a musician / keyboard player so I should know what sounds good is supposed to sound like.

works great

It works and sounds fine, except, it won't pair with my Sony Sub Woofer. I guess I didn't notice that in the add.

No bass, tinny sound, had to wonder if it was even working
