" ... Sounds good, and install was easy. ... "
" ... This is a mid-range sound bar system with a wired subwoofer. ... For what it is and the price this sound bar is gorgeous sounding. ... I have it in my bedroom and we wanted something that isn't crazy loud but can output clean crisp sound to go along with gaming and movies. ... This sound bar really delivers! ... "
" ... Decent sound quality for the $$. ... "
" ... A decent price, easy to hook up and sounds much better than the speakers in the TV. ... "
" ... I bought this sound bar so that I could play music via Bluetooth for parties and to be able to get more sound quality out of quiet conversations in movies and more boom from bass for action movies. ... My ex-roommate had a Bose sound bar that was $200 and this one sounded much better then that one. ... The only negative thing that came from this sound bar was the first one I had blew and stopped working but Amazon provided an easy return policy where I just selected what the problem was and they sent me a return code and a new one before I even returned the one that wasn't working. ... "
" ... I do not understand how these people have had such a bad experience with this sound bar set up. ... Everything sounds amazing and my neighbors are bound to hear this through my bathroom window hahaha hahahaha. ... Deep lows and the woofer is 3-4 notches from the top, crisp highs on either clear audio+ or surround . ... I can't say enough good things about this sound bar and I haven't even mentioned the price!! ... "
" ... Good sound for a $98 sound bar. ... And Netflix sounds great! ... Sound level and quality are very decent and the Bluetooth feature is great. ... I think the sound is very crisp in clearaudio+ mode so I usually leave in that mode. ... This unit is well worth the price and has much better sound than my 46” tv. ... "
" ... It's super loud and clear sound for me. ... "

" ... Eight days after I wrote the above review and 45 days after receiving the Sony HT-CT80, it quit. ... "
" ... Worked fine until it just stopped out of no where. ... Didn't even own it for a year ... "
" ... The first one went out on me making nothing but a popping noise after only 43 days. ... The second unit however only managed to last slightly longer ( 71 days) before it quit on me with the same popping and scratching noise when turned on. ... "
" ... Less than 3 months . ... "
" ... I bought two of these units for my house and BOTH of them died after two months. ... "
" ... Stopped working after 3 months. ... "
" ... Aren't we all just trying to reduce the number of remotes these days? ... Now that's it's been a little over a month since I hooked it up, it just shuts off after a while, much like other reviewers have described. ... "
" ... This month, in the last few days, the Subwoofer stopped putting out. ... "

" ... Honestly, this is a humongous steal. ... Completely worth 80 bucks (price when I bought it). ... I would even pay more. ... "
" ... Excellent sound for the price. ... "
" ... That being said however, for its price, its totally worth it. ... "
" ... Completely worth the cost ... "
" ... Better to spend one hundred dollars than over one thousand for a new set. ... "
" ... I usually don't write review but this product is super as compare to the price. ... "

" ... This is a mid-range sound bar system with a wired subwoofer. ... "
" ... It has several modes including a handy 'night' mode that kills most bass so it won't disturb others. ... "
" ... I got a lot more then I was expecting, your not going to get house shaking bass but the bass is a satisfying enough to get a good amount of surround sound for a cheap price. ... "
" ... Deep lows and the woofer is 3-4 notches from the top, crisp highs on either clear audio+ or surround . ... "
" ... I think I have newer version because my speaker has 2 woofers and 2 dome tweeters. ... Won’t get wall shaking bass from the subwoofer but it has deep clean lows with decent power for a medium size room. ... "
" ... Subwoofer Bass is solid EASY set up. ... "
" ... The sub woofer packs a punch for being so small. ... "
" ... I was impressed that the subwoofer is not overpowering. ... "
