Sony HT-CT260 review

If sound bars are the everyman's home audio system, the Sony HT-CT260 feels like the everyman's sound bar.

The Sony HT-CT260 delivers excellent sound quality for a budget sound bar/subwoofer system. It has a distinctive, angular design, plus a built-in remote control signal repeater in case the sound bar blocks your TV's remote sensor. There's also...

Some similarly priced sound bars sound even better. And the hexagonal design may not be for everyone.

The Sony HT-CT260 is our go-to budget sound bar pick, with excellent sound quality, built-in Bluetooth, an adaptable design, and no major missteps.

Sony HT-CT260 Home Theater Soundbar

The Sony HT-CT260 soundbar adds Bluetooth to an already highly capable and modestly-priced two-piece audio system.

Excellent value. Built-in Bluetooth. Powerful bass. Warm-sounding midrange response.

Treble response isn't the clearest. Stereo and surround imaging isn't quite expansive enough.

Sony HT-CT260

It's not the cheapest sound bar you can buy, and its sound quality falls short of what premium sound bars can deliver. But few competitors in its price class can deliver as good a balance of performance and features. The Yamaha YAS-101 (Est. $250)...

Excellent value, Built-in Bluetooth support, Deep, effective bass

Treble could be clearer, Average connectivity
