Sony HT-ST9 review

  (Rating Hidden)

The Sony HT-ST9 is pricey. This 7.1 channel, 800 watt sound bar will set you back around £1,000, which for most is more than they'd have paid for their TV. The marketing blurb sounds impressive, promising 'sonic perfection', but when we tested it in...

Sony's premium HT-ST9 sound bar boasts Bluetooth headphone support

 

Just when we thought Sony's soundbars couldn't get any more expensive than the $1,299 HT-ST7, along comes the new HT-ST9 at $1,499.

The HT-ST9 will be available in the US in July, with pricing and availability for Australia and the UK as yet unannounced. The US price converts to around £1,000 or AU$1,930, but expect final prices to vary considerably.

Good sound but faulty after a year

 

Very impressed with the sound quality when watching BluRay from A PS4. The soundbar surprised me along with the more than powerful subwoofer and really became an essential when watching movies. Unfortunately after two repairs the soundbar is faulty...

Great sound, but very expensive

 

The soundbar has fantastic design and looks great in the living room. Note that you need at least a 55inch TV, as the soundbar is quite lengthy. The sound is very good, but it takes a lot of tweaking in order to find settings that are optimised for a)...

Excellent Sound

 

Having moved from a fairly old amplifier/surround speaker set up I was wary that I would experience a drop in audio quality/ performance by moving to a sound bar. How wrong was I!! This system is excellent. It sounds great at all volumes, has a very...
