Good at first...

I purchased the ST9 soundbar last year. Initially, sound quality was good (although I was a bit underwhelmed by volume capacity). After a few months, the sound quality degraded as it was hampered by persistent static and distortion. I considered the possibility that the issue could reside in my environment (bad surge protector/electrical outlet, local interference, bad source equipment...) so I moved the unit around the house to eliminate those potential issues. Unfortunately the distortion persisted.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

The Sony Sound Bar seemed to work at first, but after a few months it has become raspy, and tinny. At low volume it becomes very distorted. We are going to unplug and hopefully sony will fix the problem. This a very expensive sound bar and I am very disappointed.

The sound is great . . . when there's no latency. The sound bar also changes the transmission setting from transmitter to receiver by itself which makes automatic pairing with my BT headphones a big hassle. NFC stopped working. I have 5 different BT headphones and eventually none of them paired any more. It doesn't want to go to the home page; therefore you can't get into the settings (therefore you can't manually sync the headphones). I rated the Ease of Use a 1 star because of the ongoing troubleshooting requirements. BTW I've had this sound bar exchanged twice and in the Sony shop once in the past 13 months. The shop replaced the logic board. I had to pay for the outgoing shipping to Sony. I've invested WAY TOO MUCH time trying to have a consistently pleasant experience with this product. But after 3 sound bars of the same model, the symptoms always seem to occur slowly and progressively worse after maybe a hundred hours of use. I got 2 of these sound bars from Crutchfield and the other directly from Sony. When I purchased this HT-ST9 I intentionally thought "Who needs an extended warranty on a sound bar--what could possibly go wrong?" I learned my lesson on this new, top end technology.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

Top of the range but lacking in important features

this soundbar has no DTS sound fields at all - which means if you are using a DTS-X encoded Ultra HD 4K Blu-ray you will not benefit from using this soundbar. furthermore the feature to be able to upscale low quality MP3s to hi-res audio begs the question why would you want to play it through a soundbar only

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
