The Sony HTSF200 soundbar and woofer
What can be better than a wonderful, high-resolution, dynamic TV picture? Well, how about a wonderful TV picture accompanied by a superior sound bar that offers a high definition sound experience to enhance your viewing. A modern soundbar is essentially the home theater equivalent of the “icing on the cake.”
Today we review one of Sony’s latest offerings, the HTSF200 2.1ch soundbar with built-in subwoofer for impressive, full-bodied and meaty audio performance.
Less is more
When it comes to style and order, the adage “less is more” certainly applies to this powerful unit that eliminates the need for unsightly cables that ruin the lines of the home theater system for which it provides sound. The reason for this? An integrated subwoofer that eliminates the need for any additional sound hardware.
The impressive HTSF200 2.1 reaches a new level when you consider that its sound is produced by a unit that measures just 58cm x 6.4cm x 9.5cm and weighs just 2.3kg.
Easy connection
Pairing the hardware to your TV is child’s play as it comes with an HDMI ARC cable that connects with little effort and its wireless capability means connecting to your Android TV happens with just a few taps from your remote. If your TV is also from Sony, you can control everything from a single remote control!
Do you want to live “inside” your movies?
If you’re a movie buff and enjoy a regular blockbuster, you won’t know what you’re missing if you haven’t experienced a modern soundbar. In particular, the HTSF200 offers ‘virtual’ surround sound without the need for speakers spread across the room. A setup like this will make you feel like you’re in the movie, with atmospheric voices and sounds coming from all over the room.
Powerful mid-range sounds
The subwoofer provides the aforementioned ‘meaty’ sounds, but it’s not just about the bass as a good soundbar delivers good sound all the way around. The 2 front S-Force PRO speakers deftly deliver quality mid-range tones, meaning you’ll never have a problem hearing voices, even in action movies with lots of background noise.
Multipurpose
This soundbar from Sony is also a versatile beast, providing a great and easy way to listen to your playlists streamed via bluetooth. Online platforms like Spotify, Pandora, and Grooveshark offer a great way to listen to nearly endless music, as if it were meant to be heard.
