Pros and cons

According to our soundbar expert

Spatial audio: you hear movies and music more realistically thanks to True Dolby Atmos.
More depth: you hear more depth in the sound with Acoustic Centre Sync on your Sony BRAVIA TV.
Sound all around you: you hear sound from every corner of the room thanks to 360-degree sound.
No deep bass: you miss a separate subwoofer, so the bass sounds less deep.
Fits large TVs: you can neatly place this wide soundbar under a 55-inch or larger TV.

Description

Improve your TV sound with the Sony Bravia Theatre Bar 8. This soundbar provides clear and detailed sound for shows and movies. True Dolby Atmos sends sound to your seat via the ceiling and walls. This makes the sound spacious and realistic. If you have a Sony BRAVIA television, you can use Acoustic Centre Sync for more depth. This way, you hear sound from the soundbar and the television at the same time, so a bird sounds farther away.

Great soundbar, but could be better

Design
General noise
Connection with Sony TV
Dolby atmosphere

I was able to test this soundbar together with the new Sony Bravia TV. When I unpacked this soundbar, I immediately thought the design was beautiful. Fits perfectly under this TV. But when setting it up I immediately encountered a problem. This is not possible without instructions. Perhaps this is why my test in the first week was disappointing. At first I didn't like the sound at all. I corrected it several times but it did not improve. Only after resetting did I get completely different settings and, for example, I was also asked whether I wanted to connect the soundbar to the TV so that TV sound also becomes part of the sound. I think the sound is good on normal mode. But I find the surround effect a bit disappointing. You hear the sound becoming broad, but not as in pictures you have to believe that because of the Spacial sound it also comes from "behind". This is really not the case. This also applies to Atmos sound. In the best tests via YouTube you can hear it, but in many films I barely hear it. Anyway, the sound in general is fine.
I think the bass from the soundbar is really good. A subwoofer is not necessary. The remote control is a bit poor. The disadvantage is that with bass you cannot see which setting it is in, not even via the Bravia app. This app is useful, but could be better. Connecting the app to the soundbar sometimes takes quite a while! The combination TV and soundbar is really a positive thing, it makes it one whole! This soundbar has almost all surround types, this is done automatically. And this works great! Still, I think if you place background speakers the sound will be much better. But I expected it without these boxes and this is a shame. In short, a nice soundbar, but in combination with a new Sony Bravia TV!
