Sony HT-ST7

Advantages: Appearance
Sound
Price in Russia is lower than in the USA
AptX / AAC (for Bluetooth fans)

Disadvantages: Subwoofer
Controversial remote

Comment: I use it together with the Sony TV, with which the soundbar fits perfectly.
It is excellent for watching movies; when playing music, it is predictably lost to a good stereo system (+1 B & W).

Limiting the dynamics perfectly helps at night. Mode "football" - useless.

The sub is not bad, but on the one hand it is trying to reproduce the MF (i.e., not to put it anywhere), on the other - it does not sound very clearly at low frequencies.

The console is rather strange, but I used it exactly once - when setting up the system.

Advantages: Good sound, good bass and a lot of it. Basit so sorry for the neighbors. No wires. You turn it on in a second, the blue ace is instant and everything is already playing! Stylish, black, brushed aluminum.

Disadvantages: I have acoustics b & w, etc. In comparison, it sounds a bit harsh! High can be more airy, the middle is more pronounced. Well, this is subjective.

Comment: I have a device for the third day! Hooked under the panel, watching a movie, everything is super, completely satisfied! Places takes a minimum. No wires! I do not regret buying!

Advantages: Stylish design
High-quality assembly
Very powerful and "elastic" subwoofer bass with the ability to smoothly adjust the volume
Good sound
Wireless subwoofer
Easy to connect, install and configure
No speaker noise in standby mode

Disadvantages: The sound is generally good, but I didn’t experience the feeling of “good luck” after installing it in a small room, just as I didn’t hear the super-volume hi-fi sound.
From time to time a similar story happens: when watching SD-channels on a TV connected to the soundbar, there is a sharp and short-term decrease in volume and volume of sound, as a rule, this happens at the moment when the voice is played. I tried to set the Clear Voice function to the lowest level (1), while in the described situation the difference in volume decreases. Unfortunately, this feature cannot be disabled at all.
It happens that the volume level itself unexpectedly decreases, and only a restart by turning off the power of the soundbar helps.
When listening to music through Bluetooth, there is a weak "knocking out" of the high frequencies with a slight noise on the "noisy" consonants.
Few equalizer settings, no user.
The lack of built-in Wi-Fi - receiver and Internet radio.
The absence of the equalizer settings buttons on the panel itself - you can control the sound settings only from the remote control.
Overpriced. Adequate price of the soundbar - up to 26 tr.

Comment: In general, I am satisfied with the purchase, I often use the device as speakers for sound reproduction from the TV.I listen to music through bluetooth on a laptop and want to point out the usefulness of this function and the absence of meters of wires, that is, the desktop with a laptop is on the opposite side.

Advantages: Great sound! design and workmanship. Bluetooth and other amenities. Simplicity of management, is not enough wires.

Disadvantages: Perhaps the price, but good things cost money, but you have to pay for the pleasure =) Not enough audio settings, which, incidentally, is not critical.

Comment: Prior to that, Sonya Shake 6d bought a dope home, these are two hefty speakers and a receiver, everything is very powerful and really gigantic, I thought it would be cool, but it turned out to be a complete bullshit: they sound, listen, listening to 0. After a year I decided to get rid of more compact music system for the same money with dreams of good sound. I liked this Sonya on the Internet, but really “inserted” it only in the store, when on the shelves all the sound bars look ridiculous compared to this solid quality system! and of course, when you turn it on, there is no limit to surprise) the sound is just cosmic! I'm talking specifically about the soundbar sound level! a particularly sophisticated road to hi-end lounges with a bag of money! here the beauty is that with such a simple performance and two wires you hear a VERY decent sound. Bought immediately, without thinking. I get home every day and I am glad that I have changed those mammoth "shakes" to this beauty.

Advantages: I chose a soundbar for a long time, I counted on the amount of 20-25 tr. I listened to almost everything in this price range. And only having listened to st7, he immediately took it away, although the budget was a bit higher. For more than monthly ownership of the subject, I did not regret it. One of the few who has a closed type sub, in music, bass is very collected, clear and fast. In the movie, everything sounds very bold and fundamental. Silk domes on HF, voices sound natural and very clean. Midrange dynamics with ferromagnetic fluid - pure marketing, it was possible to do with ordinary magnets. Sch sound cleanly, not standing out against the general background. In general, the whole system sounds very harmonious, without frequency beats, the music does not tire with its sound after long listening.

Disadvantages: At the maximum volume, the subwoofer’s insufficient power is manifested, while the panel itself sounds clear. Marked case collects prints. When mounted on a wall, it is necessary to make a gate, since the wiring can only be stretched from below. The sound panel has a slight bend in the center, it is imperceptible, but when installed on a glossy surface, two bolts in the center from the bottom of the panel, they will scratch the furniture, I had to put additional spacers under the extreme legs.

Comment: The most paradox, this panel is in the states 1200-1300 dollars, we, at the rate of 46 rubles, only 650 bucks. In its price - the best product.

For owners, press menu, select audio, select s.opt., Select on. The sound will be more interesting, the bass is more collected, the voice will shift slightly forward, in principle, the usual V-shaped equalizer, but in a more delicate form.

Advantages: Excellent sound, adjustable subwoofer, high quality, stylish, powerful, you can turn it on without fear, a lot can be connected, it is convenient to listen to music from a smartphone (without cords), from social networks or other sites

Disadvantages: I would like more sound settings, the equalizer is not enough, the subwoofer would also be nice to make a metal sieve for a single style

Comment: It is quite balanced, pleased with the power, as the “invisible subwoofer” is also convenient, you can hide it, because it is not connected to the panel with a wire, its adjustable power is 12 steps, you can muffle, 8-10 is enough for me, it does not lose connection with the subwoofer, as mentioned earlier

Advantages: 1. Excellent sound - the most important thing for the soundbar
2. Excellent appearance
3. Excellent workmanship
4. Invisible subwoofer - both visually (a wireless connection allows you to remove the view) and acoustically (does not "stick out" neither in music nor in the movies).
5. Convenient management.
6. Sony ;-)

Disadvantages: Is that the price.

Comment: After buying a Sony TV in the bedroom (a review on it - http://market.yandex.ru/product/9380059/reviews from February 19) I wanted to “pull up” the sound level to the image level. Long chose between different options - muses. center, a cinema in a box, an inexpensive receiver with separate acoustics ... In the end, I decided to take a closer look (and listen) to this kind of technology, like a sound bar. Here, too, had to break his head; eventually settled on the same brand as TV, and on this model, as in the most qualitative version. Last weekend I went to a profile shop, listened to this device on my musical material as a CD-Audio, was pleasantly impressed. I could not resist buying, I already drove at home in conjunction with the TV, I watched movies from Blu-Ray and TV programs from the satellite - well, just the perfect acoustic addition to the visual component performed by the TV! I would explain my impression this way: if after 10 minutes of watching a movie switch in the TV settings "External Speaker System" -> "Internal Speaker", then as if half of the world disappears. In general, the increase in the quality of audio accompaniment of TV programs and films on the face (ear). Use as a stereo acoustics for listening to music from a CD - and here only the most positive impressions, no worse than the Yamaha PianoCraft music center (who lives in another room). I note - for music, you can not turn on the TV.
Of course, this panel will not replace a full-fledged surround sound system, but for a small room where there is simply no room for a pile of speakers, this is a very good solution. Yes, we must also note the convenience of control - the volume is controlled by the TV remote control, it turns on and off. At the end - photo report: http://fotkidepo.ru/?id=album:53010

Advantages: all good

Disadvantages: not found

Comment: I watched and read reviews. In principle, it is best to listen to different sound bars yourself - and so choose, taking into account the functionality that is needed and available. In principle, the Samsung HW-F750, in principle, also liked me, a powerful sound, it seems, is quite clean (as far as can be judged in a noisy store with a large area). But there was not enough functionality and it was the only one with an external defect. So I came to Sonya. The quality struck. Technology 7.1 is also pleasant for growth.
I wanted a sound bar, because She solved several problems for me: improving the sound quality of TV, strong bass (I love this kind of music) and, most importantly, the ability to play Internet radio stations and my own music. collection.
Power - amazing - compared to the Muses. centers. And at the same time, the size and appearance is much more pleasant. Than powerful music. centers, which, moreover, do not have the opportunity to play Internet radio stations.
And then connects the computer, iPhone, iPad, etc. on bluetooth and play what you want, from what you want!
Probably, you can buy cheaper, but I buy the equipment for a long time, so I decided not to get too attached to the price.
Sometimes it can give an unpleasant resonance, but this is not the apparatus, but either its location or the original recording. By the way, depending on the gender, it may be necessary to attach soft stickers to the legs of the soundwoofer in order to remove possible resonance on strong bass.

Advantages: Sound, design, availability of all necessary inputs and outputs, Bluetooth, and again sound !!!

Disadvantages: Not

Comment: I wanted to buy a soundbar for a long time. I walked past the Sony store, let me come in and see if there is anything there. He drew attention to one model for 15000, asked to listen to his music through bluetooth.While listening, the seller advised me to try to listen to this system. Well, I think, let me check how it sounds to clear my conscience (expenses in 35,000 have not yet been in my plans). However, the sound struck me so much that I immediately said that I was taking, and did not want to listen to music on anything else. Against this background, many analogs are Chinese gramophones. Here is such a wow effect.
There are good descriptions on the Internet about this acoustics. And the sound on the bluetooth is minimally late, it is not even noticeable when watching movies on the ipad.
