"They call it a textured surface." LOOK, we don't buy Sony products for their great naming conventions, we've given up that fight a LONG time ago. LOL

With my brother's audio setup, when he increases the volume above normal levels, you really can't tell until you try to speak over it. Pretty mind blowing experience that I never thought of. Good quality audio doesn't make you wince when it's loud

1:00 see this is what companies need to do, they always remove something and then keep the price of the product the same price and make you buy an additional product at a higher price, instead they just separated them and then made them so when bought together they are the same price as last gen.

I have the 5000 with the bigger unfired back speakers and smaller sub. Couldn't be happier with the setup. Went with the smaller 5000 an sub cause of our room size. Great quality sound bar.

Sony Executives when their child is born: “He is beautiful, let’s name him CH-1000X…”

Please never cease to use an advanced vocabulary (or at least that's how i percieve them) in your videos. English isn't my first language and your channels have been my main source of learning both tech and proper english in the past several years. I wish you nothing but the best for the forthcoming times, mr linus

Me: I am in the market for a sound bar.
Clicks on sponsor link and sees $1, 200
Me: I am in the market for the same blown-out speakers I've been using for years.

7:54 that reaction was so genuine, holy cow

[Yogarine]

PSA: You should usually plug the PS5 into HDMI port 4 on most Sony BRAVIA’s because on those TVs only HDMI ports 3 and 4 are HDMI 2.1 compatible, and since HDMI port 3 is the only EARC port, that only leaves HDMI port 4 for other HDMI 2.1 devices I.e. the PS5.

I'd like to see older gen high end speakers from each decade compete in a blind audio test. Each playing same thing. See if people can tell the Era by expected sound quality.

[twinturbo]

I'm still using a Sony HT-Z9F from 2017 and that setup screen looks exactly the same. this would definitely be on my list for my next sound system. This soundbar alone looks like a win.

[henryatkinson]

Sony finally did what I've been saying they should for years with this unbundling thing. This price is far more compelling.

[byCeevu]

still using my bose 5.1 sorround sound setup from 2014 which cost me 4500$ back then but i can tell u guys it still sounds better than 95% of everthing what is getting released nowadays, ordered tons of stuff online just to compared it haha

[MoritzvonSchweinitz]

Could you guys someday visit the engineering department of a tier 1 company like Sony, where the engineers are coming up with these kinds of products? I think it would be fascinating to se how these products are actually developed!

[salemas]

I bought it and maybe it depends on room or something but actually virtual ceiling or whatever its called effect is almost negligible. OFC maybe you have to be quite close to your tv to hear. Mine is about 6 meters away. Soundwise its really good. base is powerful enough to shake floor and windows and neighbours love it too.

[Mills_Official]

for a second there I thought the "IMMERSIVE AE" button said "IMMERSIVE AF" kinda funny

[TyrannoKoenigsegg]

Bruh. That audio bounce off was so good, I recognized the distribution with my phone speakers

[petermanuel]

"This has amazing sound"... proceeds to crab rave.

[nickd.]

My dad just picked up the A90J and this sound bar. Overall setup went alright. And then at one point there were updates for the sound bar and subwoofer. After that it went down hill. We lost audio to the TV totally and sound bar. We had to reconfigure the sound bar to the TV and everything came back. But if you used the sound bar remote to adjust the sound, the sound would disappear.

[lathiat]

I’m impressed that unbundling the subwoofer actually dropped the price. That rarely happens.
