According to our soundbar expert
You can surround yourself with clear sound and a deep bass with this home cinema set.
You can enjoy spatial audio thanks to Dolby Atmos, so movies and series sound realistic.
Via Bluetooth, you can also listen to online music with the set.
You can't connect your smartphone via WiFi, so the music will pause when you call someone.

Great surround set, is simple but therefore easy to operate for the whole family and that gives peace. Sound is fantastic, we only use the set for the TV and we are super satisfied. Please note the relatively short wire between subwoofer and soundbar, and the fact that everything has to be connected to the sub. And the rear speakers have fixed connectors, which is a shame. I therefore had to cut the wires to extend them and get them through the tube of the stand and thus be able to neatly work them away. In the app I miss automatic calibration and updating is a time travel to 2005: old-fashioned with a USB stick and poor instructions to get started. All in all very satisfied, because if it works you don't have to worry about it, but keep an eye on the limitations.

The installation of the Sony BRAVIA Theatre System 6 is remarkably easy. Within 20 minutes I had everything connected and set up. The soundbar and subwoofer go to the TV via HDMI, and the rear speakers are connected to a central cabinet that you can place out of sight. This gives you full surround sound without cable chaos.
What makes this system unique is the sound. Not only the power, but especially the spaciousness and depth make it special. During films, the sound comes from all sides, without it feeling exaggerated. You are literally in the middle of the action. In combination with my 75-inch Sony Bravia 9, it is a perfect match.
The app is one of the most useful features. I control everything from my phone - volume, source selection, settings - without having to use the remote control. The system also automatically switches to the TV when I turn it on. Bluetooth streaming takes a few seconds.
A few practical points: the volume is a bit slower than usual, updates cannot be done via the app but only via a USB stick, and an eARC port on your TV is essential.
But once you start watching a film, all that disappears. The experience is so immersive that you simply forget you are at home. The system delivers more than you expect.

You have two options with this system: either the system has a standby mode and turns itself on randomly if, for example, you turn on your phone's Bluetooth but don't connect, and then simply turns itself off if the music is playing. After 20 minutes, the system turns off. It doesn't understand if it is being used. The other option is that the system doesn't go into standby, but then it turns on randomly anyway without your wanting it to, and everything can stay on all night, or when you leave the house and connect headphones to your phone or something. It is very inconvenient. My previous soundbar from the prehistoric era didn't have this problem; if nothing was playing, it would turn off automatically.
Additionally, the sound works very strangely. It sounds either very soft or it is suddenly so loud that it startles you to death. I now have to very carefully adjust the volume from 0 to an appropriate level every time. And there is a difference when you switch from Bluetooth to, for example, your computer. It takes a lot of time. The app doesn't always work well either.
Sony support is a non-issue.
