Reviewed on www.walmart.com·jencita
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] At first I was a little confused about the 16 speakers, but the 4 boxes. Then I realized there are 4 speakers inside each of the 4 bigger speakers which gives the 16! Definitely easier to put 4 speakers around the house than 16! So this was a pretty amazing product to be able to receive and review! Whenever I read reviews from people who got to test a product I'm considering buying that's pricey, I'm always like how?? \n\nSony is a great and reputable brand that makes quality products. Customer service is great too as they make products they believe in. All my speakers arrived in brand new condition and were easy to assemble and put together. If you want to amplify your living space, this will take you to that next level. We upgraded to a really large tv a couple years ago and got a sound bar. Although our soundbar wasn't cheap, I don't feel like it made a huge difference overall. With these external speakers, it really takes you to that next level of sound and quality movie theater experience!

Reviewed on www.bhphotovideo.com·starsid
I bought this system a few months ago and have been very happy with the sound immersion I get from it. The setup was really easy, especially if you have a Sony TV. The HDMI input has been very useful if you have an old TV without eARC.\n\nI do feel that dialogue clarity can be improved when not using voice mode. Dialogues were much more clear in my previous Sonos soundbar. I am not using center sync.\n\nOne feature request I have is to add Tidal Connect support to the device for spatial audio (Dolby Atmos) music streaming. While Apple Airplay is great, not everyone has an iPhone. At least this system supports the LDAC protocol for Bluetooth, so Bluetooth is not that bad, but it won't support Dolby Atmos. For high quality and spatial music, Tidal Connect would be ideal.\n\nAnother enhancement could be to output more information on the audio received. For example, "Dolby Atmos" does not currently say whether it is TrueHD or EAC-3. DTS does however say whether it is HD or not. Likewise, Bluetooth, Airplay, etc. also don't say much on the bitrate, etc. of the signal being received.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I tried out the Sony Bravia Theater Quad, I was impressed with how immersive it made my movie nights feel. The four thin, wall-mountable speakers were simple to set up and didn't take over the room. Theres a real sense of depth, as if sound was coming from all around me. Even without a center speaker, dialogue was crisp and clear because the system synced up with my Bravia TV's speakers.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These speakers are just phenomenal, the surround sound performance is out of this world. It immerses you into your media and the app allows to extract more audio from any source, even Netflix, HBO, etc. I was able to easily connect the system together and manage it all on the app. The Bluetooth connection and Spotify works well. The clarity in the sound is amazing.

We have been using this nonstop for movie nights and even when casting music or medication sounds from our phones. Definitely worth the price if you are looking to upgrade your home and cast movies/music often.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband finally made some time to connect these speakers. It was a bit of a hassle having to download the app/create login but the setup was fairly simpler after that. The app easily located speakers via Bluetooth and synced up after few tries. We are interested in purchasing the subwoofer/bass that goes with this for more of a theater like sound effect in the near future. Speakers look very sleek! It hasn't replaced our current beloved soundbar but hoping once we get the bass setup, we will primarily use as our only surround sound. Would recommend anyone looking for modern looking, clear sounding speakers to try out

Let me start started that...
Reviewed on www.bestbuy.com·GeorgeDC
Let me start started that we purchased this to address frequent sound dropouts from the HT-A9 (which admittedly got better once we deactivated the 160 MHz channel on our WiFi router, but still persisted at over once per hour) - which we otherwise loved for the surreal ‘bubble of sound’ in its Dolby Atmos content rendering, but was just ok for music playback. Below are my thoughts as a home theater/dolby atmos enthusiast/ardent music consumer. \n\nAppearance: The new speaker look is highly polarizing, judging from internet AVS forums. Sony tried to come up with a more modern option and veer away from the traditional bland speaker look, and landed with boxy speakers that not everybody is enamored with. I think they look ok and they’re somewhat modern and innovative-looking. But perhaps Sony should consider consulting / hiring hardware designers to work with their engineers, so their products can look a bit more polished and pleasing to the eye. (May I suggest LoveFrom?) But right now, it is what it is, and your only options are to take it or leave it. \n7/10\n\nSet-up: Unlike the A9, you now need to download and sign up for the Sony Bravia Connect app, if you want to use your system. Of note (unlike some other reviewers have mentioned), you do not need to agree to all marketing prompts from the app to continue with set up - selecting no will still allow you to proceed to the next step. So setting up the four speakers that came with the box was pretty straightforward, until I tried to hook up the Sony SA-SW5 subwoofer we already owned with our A9. Despite factory resetting it and restarting it several times, the app would just not recognize it was available for about half a dozen restarts and re-set up attempts of the entire Quad. This was a several hours-long exercise in frustration, and the PDF manual (not included in the box) provides only generic information (‘if everything fails, reset to factory settings and restart’). Somehow, it was able to finally recognize the subwoofer on the 7th attempt, and it has remained connected to the system since. I do hope that Sony will get their act together and address these set up issues with a software update, and ensure in the future existing hardware is already updated and able to recognize and work with their new releases. \n3/10\n\nApp: Probably one of the worse apps you have ever installed on your phone. Even after the initial painstaking set up, for the first 36 hours of usage, it failed to connect to the system every time I turned it on, asking for a re-set up (thankfully it only asked to connect to the phone & the Wifi, instead of setting up and optimizing each speaker from scratch). Sadly, you can’t make any adjustments to the system without the app (the new remote has very limited functionality - you can probably put it in a drawer and forget it exists). And the only way to verify what type of audio content you are getting (Atmos vs Dolby Audio vs LCPM and how many channels) is through the app. Sony, if you are reading this, please consider showing this on the box’s screen. Thankfully, things just magically started working on day two of usage, without changing anything from our end - likely a server-side software update (have the automatic updates to on). \n3/10\n\nCenter channel sync: Unlike the HT-A9 which was able to do this wirelessly with compatible Sony Bravia TVs, this version now requires a cord (provided). I did connect it to try the sound with and without it, and I would say that it has almost no effect on the sound. Not sure it’s worth bothering with. Although, as stated earlier, it appears that our Sony A80J has not yet been updated with software to make it recognize the Quad. So who knows? Maybe it will sound better after it does. But for now, it neither improves nor worsens the center channel sound.\n5/10\n\nApple AirPlay/Spotify Connect: Just like the connection to the Wifi and the Bravia Connect app that didn’t work for the first day and a half, the Quad wouldn’t appear on the list of available AirPlay speakers on our iPhones. And then, without us having done anything different, it just started working. We haven’t been as lucky with Spotify Connect. The Quad still doesn’t appear in our Spotify accounts, unlike all other compatible speakers from Bose & Sonos we have in the house… \n5/10 \n\nOverall Sound: Overall, it sounds a little better than the HT-A9. Calibration and the 360 sound mapping worked as described, and ended up creating an even wider, more open, crisper, and more engaging sound bubble. And it should, as each speaker enclosure now comes with one additional tweeter, for a total of 4 (rather than just 3 in the HT-A9). Fidelity is up a notch. The sound feels more robust, with more presence, and the Atmos effects seem to be more precise for a more enjoyable listening experience for movies and atmos-encoded video content. Moving sound objects are more precisely located now in space around you, and their movement feels smoother. (Tes

Reviewed on www.bhphotovideo.com·Milos
I've had these for over a year now, and for the life of me I can't get the system to calibrate properly. The center channel is always MUCH louder than any others. I purchased these because I could use my Bravia TV as the Acoustic S-Center speaker, and anything that goes there is about 10db louder than every other speaker, no matter the mode, setting, etc.. This would be an easy solve if the app had ANY adjustments available to the consumer, but they absolutely don't allow you to touch a single setting from speaker to speaker. What a shame.

Reviewed on www.bestbuy.com·Cobbway
No need for a sound bar for voices coming from the screen. I have my Quad front speakers 8’ apart and it set up its own phantom center speaker. Voices from actors voices are natural and action on screen was accurate while maintaining its left and right off screen sounds. It’s just Sony’s wizardry is all I can say. I did some research and found out that the Quad does not cut off/ or deactivate its bass when adding a Subwoofer. The previous A9 system did cutoff its bass in each of its speakers when adding the subwoofer. I added the Sony smaller subwoofer the 200w AW3 and it had plenty of bass with the setting on minus 4 with the Sony Connect App. It gives me plenty of thumping power along with the bass in each speaker left engaged.
The 360 sound field was totally awesome when watching movies and regular content. Sony has added a mid tweeter in each of the Quads 4 speakers making it a total of 16 speakers. The A9 had only 12 speakers and with each bass speaker deactivated when adding a subwoofer it would go to down to 8 total.
Please don’t try this system in a store it would be injustice to it. It’s not be as accurate like it would be in your home.

Reviewed on www.bestbuy.com·SheikhA
I recently added the Sony QUAD sound system to my setup, and it has exceeded expectations in every way. The sound quality is outstanding—clear dialogue, rich mids, and deep, controlled bass that fills the room without distortion. Whether watching movies, sports, or streaming music, the audio feels immersive and well-balanced.\nWhat truly stands out is the 360 Spatial Sound Mapping. It creates a wide, enveloping soundstage that makes you feel like you’re in the center of the action, even without rear speakers placed behind you. Dolby Atmos and DTS support add another level of realism, especially for movies and high-quality streaming content.\nThe design is sleek and modern, blending seamlessly into the room without being intrusive. Setup was straightforward, and integration with my Sony TV was seamless—everything worked together smoothly with minimal configuration.\nOverall, the Sony QUAD delivers premium sound performance that justifies its price. It significantly enhances the viewing experience and feels like a true upgrade to a home theater system. Highly recommended for anyone looking for powerful, immersive audio with Sony-level quality and refinement.

Ok. Here’s the deal. WOW!...
Reviewed on www.ebay.com·customcars71
Ok. Here’s the deal. WOW! The Sony HT-A9 is an amazing system. I had been looking for a sound bar system for quite some time. I was a bit hesitant about the systems because I wasn’t really sure I wanted to commit to an actual sound bar. Then this came along. This is classed in the same group without being a conventional “sound bar.” Most of the higher end systems are not cheap. I was lucky to score a really good deal, but in all honesty after using it, I would even recommend it for a higher price. Most of the reviews I read recommended getting the subwoofer with it and it IS impressive, but even as a stand alone, it does not disappoint. So if the budget doesn’t allow for the cost right out of the box, you can always upgrade later without being disappointed about not having it (yet...LOL). Also, it was very easy to setup. I am using it with a Sony XBR55930E and I really love that model. I know there are many newer models, but I am nowhere near ready to upgrade. The point I’m trying to make here is that it connected without any problems and I’m really pleased with it. I’m sure you will be too. Oh, and by the way...did I say, “WOW?”

Works great! Not one drop out, but I do need to add the sub. I have small living room and does produce okay bass but the sub will add more depth, that will be next purchase. I had a Vizio elevate sound bar and the sound separation was lacking, and the subwoofer bass was over powering for regular TV. Watching the news/local TV there was always rumbling, so you would have to turn the sub volume down to lowest and then everything was tinny sounding. This price makes it a deal for what it is. If you do not want to invest in to a full blown home theater this my be the ticket for you.

Don’t mistake my review for a bad one because it isn’t meant to be! These speakers both sound and look aesthetically pleasing to the eyes, especially for someone like me that thinks speakers add to the aesthetic of a living room space. Everyone that has come to my house has seen them mounted on my living room walls and asked me about them to get one for themselves because of how flush to the wall they sit unlike others in the market! The only reason I omitted one star is because the power cable is very clearly visible and sticks out like a sore thumb if these are mounted on the wall! Sony could have easily rectified this by providing a plate that goes below it for people that want to mount it and don’t want the cable visible but I guess someone was being lazy at Sony and couldn’t care less! Also, if this helps you to decide, mine are connected to an LG G4 and they all work harmoniously and you don’t necessarily need a Sony tv to go with them!
