    Customers are impressed with the sleek design and the nice unit of the speakers. They say it looks and sounds great.

    "...The design of the bar is pleasing. It has similar design cues as the PS4 Pro with rounded corners. The buttons on top work great when I've used them...." Read more

    "...Lots of options to change and customize. As design is very minimalist there are very few visual cues about what you are doing...." Read more

    Customers are mixed about the sound quality of the speakers. Some mention it sounds full and clear, while others say that it's insignificant and lacks low-end. The sound bar itself is clear and loud, but the subwoofer is lacking. The volume adjustments work perfectly with the Roku remote, and the main unit has a separate volume control from the main one. However, some customers say that the highs are fairly shrill and there is very little low- end.

    "...have the Toslink digital audio connection (optical), the sound bar won’t work at all...." Read more

    "...With the old sound bar, everything was perfect. This one, however, has multiple algorithms for sonic playback - programed EQ curves...." Read more

    "...selected the input and begin watching something, it will often stop receiving the signal and stop playing the sound until I again select the input...." Read more

    "Update: After 14 months the Subwoofer has died (no power). Really nice that it's two months out of warranty!!..." Read more

    34 customers mention14 positive20 negative

    "...The subwoofer makes tv & movie watching a great experience. It is of high quality!Caution!!!..." Read more

    "...optical cable so I could at least hear how it sounds, and it was very underwhelming...." Read more

The subwoofter no longer connects to the sound bar.

    "...It also has a subwoofer which connects, using bluetooth, which is handy and wire-free. One of these two processes is delaying the audio signal...." Read more

    "...the HDMI plug on the soundbar is substandard and will randomly loose connection to the TV. Wiggling it brings it back...." Read more

    "...I love the additional subwoofer and the Bluetooth function. I would say to use this for a regular sized living room and you should be fine...." Read more

    Good but not overwhelming
    Excellent sound bar to replace the stock built in speakers of my Panasonic plasma tv. The clarity and quality of the sound is so much better. I can understand what people are saying without having the volume too loud. Thanks to the sub I actually have bass now. However during low level volume it is very underwhelming. Closer toward top end volume do you notice and feel the bass. If your looking for real bass buy a different unit. Other than that I'm very satisfied overall. I love the fact that I can connect my phone via Bluetooth. Currently I have the sound bar mounted underneath my tv which is mounted on a swivel wall mount and the sub on the floor.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Sony HTCT290 Ultra-Slim 300W Sound Bar + Subwoofer
    Reviewed in Canada on May 13, 2017
    An awesome sound bar + subwoofer combo. Super simple to set up and a quality sound output. The setup was quick and took me about 15 minutes from the time of unboxing. It comes in a L shaped awkward to open box. But it's well padded and protected. I don't need to mount the sound bar so I can't comment on that.
    Over the past few weeks i've used the sound bar daily. Everything about the Sony HTCT290 says one thing: simplicity. With the bluetooth enabled I am able to walk into adjacent rooms with my laptop or iPhone and i'm still able to play my music/tv shows audio without skipping, lagging, or losing the signal. The furthest i've stepped away from the sound bar with a bluetooth signal connected playing music was about 30ft. The quality of the music drops off a bit with heavy EDM between 80-90% max volume. At which point i'm already filling an entire floor of a house with music, so i'm not complaining. With pretty well all other genres of music you'll be still getting quality sound at the same volume level.

    The sound bar definitely enhances the movie, tv show, Youtube video watching experience. I use the sound bar through my TV's optical connection and it delivers crisp sound and decent bass for whatever i'm watching through my android box or playing through my Xbox One. I don't think this is the best sound bar combo there is on the market. However for a mid-range sound bar + subwoofer combo, I don't have any complaints about my experiences thus far.

    Since there isn't much for specs in the description I'll save you trying to search them out and post them here:
