I like buying quality items, and I'm happy with this sound bar and included subwoofer. Depending on what one is watching, there are nice different listening modes to choose from. In MOVIE mode it's cool at times when it seems particular sounds are generated at one side of the room rather than in front of you. Other examples are watching a dialogue interview in CLEAR mode, and concerts/bands in MUSIC mode. Frequently used of course is the TV mode which is also nice.

I purchased a Sony 55" 4K TV Model XBR-55X900E for my Bedroom. I decided to buy a TV Sound Bar. Did some research and decided on the Sony TV Sound Bar Model HT-CT390. I already have a Sony Model HT-CT380 in my Den on my Sony 65" 4K TV and enjoy it every day. It's a great TV Sound Bar. After I got the Sony TV Sound Bar installed in my Bedroom I'm very pleased. Best Buy matched the Amazon Price and I save $30 bucks.

Sounds good, Bluetooth turns on from other device without using remote, wireless subwoofer, plenty of settings and a sleek design. Pretty impressive for the price! Plus it's SONY.

Wished it was long and skinny like the others. I mounted it close under the TV, but still have a 1" gap between that shows the HDMI cables. I ended up putting a cabinet trim piece that you can buy at any big box store in the crown molding section. Painted it black to match. Looks better now.

Something that I was waiting for this for a long time!
This is a perfect sound system for me - in the small area where I'd like to get the best sound possible.

The sound when connected to a bluetooth device sounds great, although i did notice there might be a limit when watching TV (yes it always has a limit, was just maxing it out and it didn't sound that loud). I'm still trying to figure out how to adjust that. The device is slim and looks great under my wall mounted TV. Bass from the subwoofer is room shaking but not overwhelming.

I purchased this sound bar along with a new Sony tv about a month ago. So far I have not had any issues with it whatsoever. It works perfectly. Setup was a breeze, I just plugged it in and followed the couple simple steps to pair the wireless subwoofer. I have never lacked for sound with this sound bar and it sounds a lot better than the audio coming out of the tv. However, I feel like if you really want to hear loud bass or want to blast your movies at movie theater volume you might be better off buying the next model up (this is the only reason I'm rating it 4 stars). Despite this, I think I've only had the sound bar turned all the way up once, and I typically watch tv with the volume about halfway up and it sounds great. The sound is also customizable so you can adjust the bass and other options to your taste. I think this is a great sound system for the price and I doubt you can get a better one in the same price range. If I had the extra $200 to spend I would probably think about getting the next model up, but this set up more than gets the job done!

Sony is superior to similar priced/ranges for LG

Compared this Sony HT-CT390 (BestBuy open box for $129.99) and the LG SH3K (BestBuy $125 after Visa Checkout) and with two TV's in two separate bedrooms did independent tests to compare the two and found the Sony to have several key advantages. The advantage of the LG was slightly louder and larger oomph from the bass. Advantages for the Sony were:
1. More clear audio, sharper details, tested with 300, The office, music
2. HDMI (ARC) so higher quality connection and ability to control with existing TV remote
3. Longer Bluetooth Range, and remote can actually control the Bluetooth device (phone) unlike LG
4. Slimmer so can sit down in front of TV, without blocking screen or wall mountable
5. LED display so you can see volume level
6. LG has just Standard, Movie; Music. Sony has those plus additional modes of clear voice, sports, and Game, plus night mode
7. Better wall mounting brackets
8. NFC
9. USB input, plus the ability to see the data on the LED display
I returned the LG and kept the Sony and couldn't be happier.

The HDMI ARC support is unlike other speakers where some features don't work exactly as expected. I've plugged this Sony on two different TVs (LG and a Samsung) and the sound bar turns on when the TV turns on, and pressing Vol+ and Vol- on the TV remote adjusts the volume of the sound bar.
The sound quality is more than what I expected of the $120 price I paid.
The wireless sub-woofer isn't earth shattering, but the front projecting feature of it means that I can put it in a shelf and direct the sound to the audience. Other soundbar woofers require you to stand it in a different area of the room, with the side of the box facing the audience; the power cable now becomes more visible.

This was a present for my parents. After a few weeks of using it, I asked their opinion.
Pros: Ease of setup, Price, Sound quality on High volumes
Cons: Not as loud as other sound bars, low volume sound quality about the same as tv speakers.

I have another sound bar, an LG that I wanted to replace because the sound just never would get loud enough to enjoy, so I was looking at this sony and the price caught my eye. I’m glad I took a chance, the bass is so much deeer and so far the volume does go alot louder than my LG sound bar. I haven’t messed with the settings yet and only have it hooked up to the optical so I definitely haven’t given it a chance to perform at it’s best but so far I am happy with my purchase and the price is perfect! Black Friday prices I could not resist!

When I was shopping for a sound bar - after buying a new Sonia Bravia 48.5 smart tv and realizing that the audio was terrible (what can you expect from a less than 1" thick tv - excellent video quality, though) - I listened to several sound bars in my price range. There were about 6-8 sound bar systems set up in one area at Best Buy and the store clerk switched between the systems so I could hear sound quality differences. Hands down the Sony was the best. It has the most depth and richness. The fact that it was not as loud at high volume as the others was not a drawback for me as I do not turn my sound up very loud anyway in consideration of my neighbors (if I want to go louder I use ear buds). Anyway, the Sony went on sale that weekend - over $100 lower than the normal price and I bought it - even got another $50 off for buying an open box. There is excellent bass, I can actually understand the dialog - there is an adjustment for voices to make them even louder. I am very happy with this system.

For the price I paid this is a great addition to new Sony 55” I replace my whole AV amp speakers and sub. A lot less wires, equipment, power usage and still great Movie Sound. Also the Bluetooth works great with I- phone.

I bought this sound bar on clearance for $120 here at Best Buy . I don’t think it is worth the original $300 price. The reason is that it just doesn’t get very loud. It’s an awesome design. The Subwoofer could be better. I do love the design and it does have HDMI arc as well as optical. Sinks perfect with my Sony 900E series. The usb works pretty nice too. This sound bar has a nice remote. Bigger than most sound bar remotes. The display is nice as it displays words instead of led lights to tell you the mode you are in. I feel I did get it for a steal. Best Buy sold out of this model pretty fast. Has very decent sound.

Great product.with a great sound. The $118 price tag was what got me to buy it. I have an LG TV and the Sony Sound Bar did not have a problem connecting to it. Easiest hook up for an an electronic device I have ever experienced. Would highly recommend this product.

The soundbar and sub are a great addition to any home theater system. Though I don't have anything else besides the sound bar and sub in my home I enjoy listening to my music from my phone using the Bluetooth, and watching tv. The sound is clear and the sub doesn't disappoint neither. Very easy setting up and using.
