Good for the size
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's not stellar sound but not bad for a tiny package. I also love the Bluetooth a d optical connections and wireless sub. I use it for my PC and am amazed more people don't use it for this configuration. It sounds good, especially compared to "computer speakers" and hides away nicely behind the monitor.

Surprisingly good sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was trying to find a sound bar that would fit on a small shelf connected below my TV wall mount in my bedroom. I was having difficulty finding anything and the sales people weren’t helpful. I found this in a display area but the controller for that area was not working so I couldn’t listen to the TV it was connected to. I figured out how to connect my phone to it and tried it in the store and it sounded pretty good but so hard to tell in a large store what the sound is really going to be like. I got home, opened the box and installed it in just a few minutes. This is pretty impressive sound for such a small sound bar and the wireless subwoofer slid perfectly next to my night table and connected automatically. I am really glad I found this unit as it is perfect for my bedroom.

Bar Speaker Subwoofer Remote Control with x2 AAA Batteries Optical Digital Cable AC Adapter Ac Power Cord (mains lead) Speaker Pad for the Subwoofer (x4) Startup Guide Operating Instructions Product Registration Sheet Warranty Sheet Setup/Testing/Conclusion No fingerprints yay! The material that Sony used on this soundbar is quite nice. The design of it also fits perfectly with my entertainment setup at home. The setup of the Sony HT-MT300 was extremely simple. Without looking at the setup instructions (although I’d advise you to if it's your first time setting up a soundbar), I was able to get everything plugged in and up and running within minutes. Another recommendation is that if you’re planning on setting up the subwoofer underneath your couch; I would look at the instructions. The subwoofer can be placed either vertically or you could use the speaker pads that are included to have the subwoofer be placed horizontally.The whole system itself is definitely compact and a lot smaller compared to the LG soundbar I had previously. But ladies and gentlemen... DO NOT be fooled by its size! Sony again delivers a quality product to its electronics line. It performs well and the sound quality is excellent. I tested out the Bluetooth pairing and it was also easy to do. I love the fact that there were no sound skipping/stuttering at all in playing music with this soundbar. The difference I had was that the LG soundbar would ALWAYS skip music, even when my phone was right next to the soundbar… I did not experience that with the Sony HT-MT300. The Sony HT-MT300 has a couple of sound functions to choose from like music, movie, clear audio+, Dolby DRC function, voice, and night. It doesn’t seem to have as many as the LG soundbar I had but Sony has done an impressive job on getting the ones programmed “fine tuned”. I was able to play some music and test the difference out between selecting the sound functions of music versus movie (which it actually sounded better on the music setting of course). Then I went around and tested the difference by watching a movie and selecting the sound setting of movie versus music. The point I am trying to make is that sometimes those sound features don’t really make a difference; with the Sony HT-MT300 it did. Now comes the cons of the product; of course these are my opinions but I feel like I would need to share them with you. I personally feel like the Sony HT-MT300 is lacking a built-in digital display screen. Let me explain why. When you change your volume, or subwoofer level, or sound function; wouldn’t you want to know how high, how low, or if the setting you're changing is on or off? Because it doesn’t have a built-in digital display screen and doesn’t show on my TV what is going on when I am changing the settings on the soundbar; it can get a little frustrating. Even when changing sound functions by holding down a button on the remote, you would need to reference the operating instructions every time to make sure you’re doing it correctly and if it's on or off. Then you’re like wait.... Can’t you just use the APP (SongPal) that Sony has to offer? I downloaded the APP to try and resolve this “con” I had on the product. While it did show certain things being changed like the subwoofer level and what sound settings are on/off; I had huge issue(s) with the APP itself. When adjusting the volume on the remote for the soundbar and my iPhone had the APP installed and paired; it would also adjust the volume and ringer volume on my phone. I even tried closing out the APP on the phone but it still linked up and adjusted the volume on my phone when I was adjusting the volume on the remote for the soundbar. This made it extremely inconvenient because the only way around this is that I would have to disable my Bluetooth in order for it to stop syncing up with the soundbar. I keep my Bluetooth enabled because I have things like a Fit-bit that is always tracking everything I do and syncing and transferring data to my phone. The only other issue I had with the soundbar is the volume. Again since I couldn’t distinguish what my volume was; I didn’t know how loud my volume was. When switching between streaming T.V. on my Roku, Netflix, and streaming a movie from my phone; the volume was different between all of them. What I mean by that is I was watching T.V. with my Roku and decided to try out a movie and the volume was SO MUCH LOUDER when switching from T.V. to a movie; I literally scared my pregnant wife and she jumped up off the couch. I would also like to mention that I saw another review that someone stated the sound was out of sync when watching a movie on Netflix; I personally did not experience this at all. In conclusion, I would definitely recommend this product if you’re on the market looking for a soundbar to go with your T.V. I personally feel like the pros I had with the Sony HT-MT300 outweigh the cons. The sound quality on this thing is amazing and it adds a nice punch when you’re watching an action movie. Even if you’re just streaming music it sounds excellent. If you have guest over; they will be wowed. Compared to the LG soundbar I had; the Sony HT-MT300 definitely performs better. The only thing I wish is that Sony would’ve added a built-in digital display screen. If that built-in digital display screen was there; this product would’ve gotten a 5 out of 5 or a 10 out of 10 from me personally.

Sony Sound Bar
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good product for price, sub unit fits under couch and sound bar works great with build in cabinet. Sound is good and helps you to watch/hear from a flat TV. Projects sound forward and not backwards like the flat TV did. Got it a great price.

Q: QuestionThis sound bar functions with 100W. Most start at 300W. Is this going to have a less than desirable sound?
Asked by Frannie.
- A:Answer We recently purchased this soundbar for our TV in the bedroom. It is definitely an improved sound over the TV speakers; more clear voices and more full, rich sound. We needed the smaller size (width) for our setup and it works well for the intended use. However, if you're looking for "big", theater room sound - this wouldn't be the one to go with.

Q: QuestionHI i dont have Optical in my TV, they gave me an adaptor but the sound isn't right? the green light is on the Subwoofer but hardly any sound? is this because of the telly or adaptor not being correct? regards Gary
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer So I bought this for my dad and after setting it up at first I thought it was terrible for the first 20 minutes and considered returning it. I didn't know if the subwoofer was even doing anything and the audio didn't sound great but I think it was all dependent on the program you were watching. We were watching a regular game show but I ended up moving the sub behind the couch and watching other stations like movie channels or netflix and the sound is actually amazing and everything I expected it to be. You can tell a major difference with things like action movies especially.
