Sony has unveiled a new soundbar dubbed Sony HT-S400. The soundbar seems to be a departure from the lineup of high-end soundbars recently released by the company. It is priced at $300 and will be a great addition to the mid-level or low-end user who just wants to have a better sound experience while watching his favorite TV show. It seems Sony had done a pretty decent job of having a nice mix of affordability and functionality with the HT-S400 soundbar.
The HT-S400 soundbar is a 2.1-channel system capable of producing virtual surround sound for an immersive audio experience while watching TV. It comes with a powerful 130Wwireless subwoofer and the system has an overall output of 330W, which is impressive for its price. The soundbar has seamless integration with Sony TV models due to its settings integration and wireless connectivity support. It is also possible to stream content in the HT-S400 via other input using Bluetooth. There are options for HDMI ARC and optical audio although we expect clarity and voice optimization may not reach the dizzying heights of the premium Sony soundbars.
Although it is known that the Sony HT-S400 soundbar will be available from April 2022, it is not yet clear whether there will be differentials on the pricing globally and even its availability in some regions. The coming months will however illuminate the dark ends of the HT-S400 soundbar. Its affordability is however a strong point for the model.
