Sony HT-S40R review: A midrange soundbar with a nifty trick up its sleeve

Рет қаралды 189,377

Күн бұрын

On paper, the Sony HT-S40R soundbar looks like a successor to the Sony HT-RT3. Its biggest advantage is the setup for the surround speakers. They connect to a wireless amplifier that connects to the subwoofer wirelessly, eliminating the need to connect the surround speakers physically to the subwoofer as we’ve seen on the Sony HT-S20R and the Sony HT-RT3. While the setup isn't truly wireless, it is very convenient. The overall sound output from the soundbar is very good, considering the price point. It can produce punchy sounds for movies, is good for gaming and music lovers as well. Its build may feel a little plasticky, but it does not look cheap at all. It is convenient and easy to set up and comes with a 6ft HDMI cable in the box for ARC connectivity. While the front channel separation may be a bit weak, the overall surround sound effects are good. If you have a Sony HT-RT3, you don't need to upgrade to this one. However, if you are looking for a good 5.1 soundbar under 30K to bring the theatre home, then you can definitely consider the Sony HT-S40R.

@SubhadeepBhattacharya 2 жыл бұрын

Playing song and watching movie is entirely different because songs don’t have the dolby settings, so when you are playing a song it is coming out of all the speakers as a whole, but movies with 5.1 dolby settings have a 3d imprint of sound, which is dolby all about basically, so if the dialogue is coming from a rear perspective, you will hear it from the rear speakers.

If you are playing normal content then the sound will come from rear speakers also with a good sound separation. Playing 5.1 content will give the effect that u mentioned in your question. But the placement of rear speakers should be correct, then only you will get the correct output and that is there for all the 5.1 channel home theatre system.

@steventspoon7468 Жыл бұрын

I've got the same issue and on my LG C1 OLED I'm also having to mix in with the Tv. I thought I had done enough research but it's obvious that most people are happy if the soundbar sounds better than their built in speakers. Personally I could live with it if it had some kind of speaker EQ where you could raise the voices but the presets only do something when it's really loud (& like you said 'too loud') I'm now looking at the LG 75Q which sounded pretty good in the store but it's twice the price and only has 3.1. Either way I'm going to have to resist the urge to boot it square in the stones or ditch this average soundbar.

@vatrica1 Жыл бұрын

@@steventspoon7468 yeah it's frustrating, but after some further testing I have realized most of the issue is in the sound source. If the source is stereo, this crap is going on. If it has embedded 5.1 support the sound will be nice. Not spectacular, but nice. I'm lately using stremio app to stream some torrents and I can see if I play some compressed torrent (1-2GB size) the sound is terrible and in the settings you can choose only stereo. If I play some larger file with 265 compression and 5.1 embedded, it works OK... But anyway, I just got used to keep the remote close all the time and adjust accordingly 🤦

After watching KZfaq reviews I purchased a Sony s40r. When I connect the soundbar with tv via HDMI arc or tv Bluetooth, the sound is very low compared to mobile Bluetooth play, USB direct play with soundbar. It's happened with any percentage volume. I tried PCM on/off, DRC on/off but there is no fix. After that I connected this soundbar with Sony, lg, Samsung tv, there is the same issue. Then I called Sony for service, after that Sony service employee came to my home and said that this soundbar is not capable of producing tv sound louder as compared to mobile Bluetooth play or USB direct play with soundbar. Sony's services are very bad and not acceptable. Don't buy sony s20r or s40r. After all of these things happened I purchased JBL 2.1 deep bass mk2. Now I'm a big fan of JBL's music instruments, sound separation, vocals, bass, sound clarity and loudness.

Stupid design having connections on the sub ... this will limit sub placement and having unsightly cables the main body of the soundbar is always closer to tv ... also aesthetically that sub us horrible looks like sonething from the 1980s minus the retro charm

These soundbars are okay not wow sounding. Sony HT-S400 has a better sound profile at only 2.1 ch output with 330 watts.

A 5.1 system must be reviewed with some good 5.1 movies for which people buy it for and not with some stupid games. Meaningless and useless review.

I want to buy it for Games, Movies, and Music. and this reviewer did just that. What's wrong with that Rajesh R?

@@HeroVaxThe core reason for 90 % of the buyers to spend this much on a 5.1DD HT system is to watch MOVIES and everything else comes next. My point is this video failed to address that basic need of the majority of the buyers would want to know as it was not reviewed for the primary reason why people would invest in a system that costs 25k.
