SonyS100F 2.0ch Soundbar with Bass Reflex Speaker, Integrated Tweeter and Bluetooth, (HTS100F), easy setup, compact, home office use with clear sound black

I am giving this sound bar 5 stars, but with reservations. It is compact and not overly large. It fits on my mantle under the mounted tv. This is the second sound bar sent to me. The first one only worked a few days before I had to call Sony and troubleshoot it to find out it was defective. The price was good, however I had to pay UPS to return it to Amazon. I was told I would recoup the loss but as of yesterday that credit had not shown up in my account. First: pros- sleek, lightweight, good sound, good pricing, several ways to connect, seamless hookup with remotes, TVs, streaming devices, good sound. - Cons: I turn my tv off at night and then when I want to watch again, the sound bar won’t work. I am forever having to unplug the bar, tv, and fire stick to have any audio. This does not make sense. There is notations of the bar going into mute when you turn the device off, and it depending on what configuration you start up again, ie: tv first, sound bar first, streaming device, etc., it can go into mute mode. This is ridiculous. You want, or at least I do, one remote for everything so you don’t have to keep up with remotes for each device. I have a Sharp, interactive smart tv, and use a fire stick for my “cable”. I have no choice as I use the “gig” internet and that provider for my cable channels. My provider encourages you to use your own devices to receive the channels they offer so for us it’s the fire stick for cable and streaming. This should not be the problem with the bar not connecting and/or going into mute mode because of you turning your tv on. Since the description of this sound bar uses the seamless hookup as one of the advantages of purchasing this product, the manufacturer should design it to come on and work, regardless of what sequence your remote turns all the devices on. Amazon replaced the first unit (had it about two weeks, one using it, one trying to figure out what was wrong). Sony was good at troubleshooting but was no help at replacing the unit, even with me supplying the invoice, etc. After the troubleshooting, and me providing the invoice by email, I never heard from Sony again, so any compliment I give for customer service is to Amazon, which had me a new one ASAP. I might note that this didn’t start happening until this week. We have had the replacement only about two weeks now, so this occurrence may possibly be another defective unit. I bought a protection plan because of the reviews about this product. I maybe should have just bought another product than this one. Independent analysis of sound bars at the time I purchased the first one had this one as #1. I will update later if I continue to have to reboot everything to get it to work. I forgot to mention I am using the HDMI-ARC hookup which is the one suggested. Update: I think I found the answer on Sony’s website. Using an option on the remote - ie:voice - turns the HDMI-ARC option off. Since that is my connection method unconsciously I have been muting for restarting my connection, when trying to set the bar for better voice, less background. This bar does have good sound, very decent wattage and a reasonable price. I will stick with - now - 5 stars.

Great product, especially for the price! I purchased this as a gift for my boyfriend and he was super excited. It’s easy to set up/use and is the perfect size. Sound quality is great, too (works great with our LG TV). If you’re debating between a couple sound bars, I’d say go for this one!

The Sony S100F 2.0ch Soundbar is a solid choice for enhancing sound in a smaller space, like a home office. Its compact design makes it easy to fit just about anywhere, and the setup was super simple—took me just a few minutes to get it connected via Bluetooth.The sound quality is impressive for such a small unit, with clear vocals and balanced sound. The bass reflex speaker adds some depth to the audio, though it’s not quite as punchy as larger soundbars. But for casual music, video calls, or even watching shows in a smaller room, it works great!The build quality feels solid, and I appreciate the integrated tweeter for a cleaner listening experience. Overall, it's a great option for anyone looking for a budget-friendly, compact soundbar with decent performance.I knocked off one star just because the bass might not be enough for those who want a more powerful sound or the voice setting. But for my home office, it does the job.

This is a combined review of the Amazon Fire TV 43" Omni Series 4K UHD smart TV and Sony S100F 2.0ch Soundbar. This is a perfect package for under $400 for the TV AND soundbar. I recommend it for smaller rooms, exercise videos, a portable or spare TV, a large kitchen, and a portable deck/patio TV.The TV sound is what you'd expect from almost any TV. It wouldn't have noticed if the display wasn't so good. Enter the Sony Soundbar. It provides a simulated theater experience and strong sound for outdoor. This soundbar provides everything you'd want for small to medium TVs. I found an open box in excellent condition for $60. If you want a larger theater experience, you'll want a more premium system with at least a subwoofer. I love this bar, and it's fit for this purpose. It's the best upgrade to complete your viewing experience.The Omni TV was one of the best finds and values. I wanted a lightweight TV for a rolling stand to use as a guest TV and a football TV on the deck. When this popped up as a Prime sale for $270, I couldn't resist. As a nerd, I compared options under $500 before narrowing it to this size and model. Many reviews say the 55" version is a better viewing experience. If so, I can't imagine how good it must be. This is on par with our older Sony TVs for picture quality in a smaller size. It does not have the higher natural refresh rate you might want for gaming. It's bright enough to watch in full daylight, but reflections degrade the image. Initially, I thought about buying a larger size for the deck. The size, weight, and quality of this one make it a perfect mobile TV, and I won't upsize it.

Super easy to set up and sounds way better than TV speakers. Clean, loud, and worth it

Sound is good, but is delayed just a tiny bit. Annoying to watch lips move before sound is heard. It does have six options for sound types, so that’s good.Installation was simple, but the volume is not shown as numerical on my tv; it may need some adjustment I’m not familiar with.Probably going to upgrade soon. Lived with it for 3 weeks and love the clarity- just wish it was synchronized.

Great soundbar for movies and shows! It’s especially good if you have a Sony TV, since it’s compatible and connects easily. Delivers clear audio and great surround sound for a better viewing experience.
