Sony - HT-SF150

I've got the cheapest soundbar from sony the ht sf150 for 100€. Compared to the tv speakers its a big upgrade but no base, dolby,... A decent all in one soundbar with woofers, dolby atmos will set you at least 500€ back. It depends on your budget or quality standard. The best all in one soundbars start at 900€.

Hi all, got a new LGTV C5 OLED this week. I knew the reviews had said the display quality is excellent (which I agree with) but the sound of the TV is not it's strong point. I didn't know the extent of this issue. Tried different films on different apps. Tried Titanic on Disney+, Oppenheimer on Netflix, Top Gun Maverick from an external drive and music videos on YouTube. Also tried games through a PS5. All of that to say, in all of these dialogue is so unintelligible, it's extremely quiet in scenes across the board. Then when you have to turn the volume up for these scenes, suddenly a loud noise is ridiculously loud to the point where it's overwhelming. I'm constantly having to adjust the volume scene to scene. Quiet is too quiet and loud is too loud. Messed around with the settings, turned Dolby Atmos off and got it to a slightly better place with the equalizer where 1khz and 3khz were pushed to +10 and the rest down to -10 but even still action was very loud and the volume was needing to be adjusted regularly. Did some reading online, found that sound bars were meant to be a solution. Ordered a SONY HT-SF150 2.0 and tried it today via HDMI. Used the Dialogue mode and Night mode and again exact same issues. Dialogue too quiet, action too loud. I'm absolutely stumped now, will probably have to return this soundbar. The levels on my old Samsung TV were much more flat and consistent. Need any tips to make this better, it's ruining the new TV experience.

I like my Sony HT-SF150.

My wife got me a Sony entry level sound bar for my birthday last year and it’s great, 199.99 at Bestbuy in Canada. we use it for mostly sports and movies. No complaints it does its job Sony HTS100F 120-Watt
