Mini LED makes this X90L replacement a potential mid-range marvel
Brighter and more contrasty than the outgoing X90L ; Impressive colour vibrancy
Could be up against OLEDs if the price isn't right ; Still just two HDMI 2.1 sockets
The Bravia 5 looks like a big upgrade on the X90L it is replacing, largely thanks to the switch to Mini LED backlighting. It could be a serious contender in the mid-range market, but a lot will depend on how much it costs – and how it performs when we...

Meet the mini drivers
Tiny satellite speakers ; Excellent connectivity ; Good general performance
Doesn't decode lossless audio formats
If you are looking for an audiophile grade speaker system then this is not it, but if you're in the market for a simple and solid surround sound system that's small then this could be for you
Expert review by : What Hi-Fi? (whathifi.com)
Sony has produced a home cinema speaker system that gives genuine surround sound to the speaker-phobic
‘Proper’ surround sound from unfeasibly small satellites ; tremendously simple to setup and use ; taut, chunky bass
Subwoofer requires careful positioning ; won’t decode HD audio ; mid-range lacks a bit of body
This is genuine surround sound for the speaker-phobic – give it a try, you might just be surprised
Expert review by (stuff.tv)
Sony's golf ball-sized surround speakers have returned in this new package. Is it a hole in one or a shout of 'Fore'?
Stylish, ultra-compact and capable of delivering the goods with all manner of sources, this is a fine piece of home cinema kit
Expert review by : Campbell Simpson (goodgearguide.com.au)
An 'invisible' home theatre system
Tiny, great treble reproduction, plenty of inputs
Poor bass and mid-range
As a surround system the HTIS100 works well — positional audio sounds great. Treble is an equally strong point, but the system is let down by bloated, muddy sounding mid-range and bass from the subwoofer.

You cant knock the sound, design or the cost of this unit, everything is top notch!!
I bought the accompanying s-air unit so I could have wireless rear speakers... Unfortunately I have never been able to get the units paired correctly and as such have now given up trying to get the rear speakers to work, so for that I would say steer...

Size of speakers
No menu on TV to aid use.
Consumer review (reevoo.com)
speakers are really small and unintrusive
bass box is huge
Consumer review (reevoo.com)
This is the second unit that I have purchased to which the second is for a family member. The sound quality definiatly gives you the cinima fealing and is very pleasing to the eye.
Connections are underneath the unit which you have to turn over but when everything is connected is not a problem.
