Choose the soundbar that makes it feel like you're in the movie
Sony HT-S40R

Because of the rear speakers, you can also hear the sound from behind you. This surrounds you completely in the sound and immerses you in the movie or series.

We were allowed to test this soundbar and actually expected little from it, but to be honest, this soundbar is really great. The soundbar was delivered in a good and sturdy box. After the soundbar came in, we immediately unpacked it and looked at the design of the sound. I personally like the design of the soundbar very much. The soundbar is easy to use and easy to install. You had to discover how best to install it, but we soon found out that you could easily operate the soundbar via the TV remote control. I also really like the sound, when you watch a movie you really experience the cinema effect. If you find the bass of the box a bit too loud, you can of course also turn it down a bit. Which is of course also nice for when you have a party at home and you play loud music (sometimes the neighbors don't like that very much) All in all, we think this soundbar is a real asset and we definitely recommend it.

Bass, like all other systems in the world, you have to turn down, otherwise it gets boomy. It can certainly be hard in itself, but that's not the point. Please note that because it is a front-firing subwoofer, it is only suitable in places with no obstructions to the listening position.
For the price of -200 certainly good, you can only have a filling effect if you sit in the middle (2 places) and with the right volume. There is no surround effect whatsoever, so don't be fooled, but certainly a good enough sound that really enhances your movie experience! You will no longer want to watch movies without a sound system.

I was allowed to test this soundbar for @review.nl.testpanels and was surprised about the sound. the box it came in is sturdy and arrived undamaged.
once unpacked, it was easy to install, it even included an optical cable. the installation itself was done within half an hour.
the sound that this soundbar gives is fine and more than sufficient. there is an evening mode that reduces the bass a bit, which is nice for the neighbors ;)
the only thing I miss is a somewhat extended sound setting but for normal use This is a great device and I can definitely recommend it.
