Good, Easy to set up and use, Decent mid-range and low-end sound, Can get quite loud, Support for Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, 4K passthrough, HDMI-CEC, Fairly wide soundstage
Vertical Surround mode is gimmicky, No display, confusing LED-based prompts
If you spend up to Rs. 40,000 on a TV, you might not be inclined to spend more than Rs. 15,000 on a soundbar. However, if you have the budget for a better TV, you should also get the right soundbar to go with it. The Sony HT-X8500 isn't a premium soundbar...
Abstract: The SONY HT-X8500 is proof that you don't need to spend big for a truly entertaining Dolby Atmos-enabled soundbar. Modestly priced (given that you can easily spend twice as much for a rival system), it's surprisingly compact and compatible with both Dolby...
All-in-one 2.1 design, Good with movies and music, Plug ‘n' Play installation,
No Wi-Fi support, No up-firing Dolby Atmos drivers, Pronounced sweet spot,
The HT-X8500 soundbar doesn't only offer brilliant value for money, it also brings the multiplex home in a way few will find difficult to live with. While it's only a 2.1 system, the impact of Sony's inventive DSP post processing for that surround sound e...

Neat design, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, Weighty, open sound,
Thick, muffled midrange, Lack of crispness and definition, Occasionally confusing operation,
Despite the flaws in its sonic presentation, the Sony HT-X8500 is an undeniable sonic improvement over most flatscreen TVs, particularly in terms of delivering cinematic weight and spaciousness.But, while it delivers big on specs, its core sound quality i...
Dolby Atmos and DTS:X compatible, Compact all-in-one form factor, Integrated subwoofer, Easy to set-up and use, Brilliant value
No upfiring drivers, Not High-Res Audio capable, Stripped back feature set
Given that rival Dolby Atmos compatible soundbars typically sell for twice the price, Sony's HT-X8500 warrants an easy recommendation. Cost-cutting can be attributed to connectivity and features but what's genuinely confounding is just how great the HT-X8...

Abstract: Nothing can be more disappointing to home entertainment users than bad sound. With few exceptions (mostly on the high-end and cost side) most TV sets have very poor sound when compared to their screen quality (the Sony A1 TVs with their on-screen speakers...
Easy to setup and use, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, Good connectivity options, Less wires / clutter to worry about, Space-saving, Punchy bass, Great cinematic audio reproduction, Clean, slick look
Muffled midrange, Surround sound could be better, Bass is usually overpowering, Lack of a built-in display for easier use, Pricey
The Sony HT-X8500 soundbar is a simple, yet effective audio upgrade for any home entertainment setup...
Abstract: Cuando Sony nos ofreció probar su televisor Bravia A8G, no sabíamos qué esperar, solo sabíamos que era caro y que debía verse bien. La marca cuenta con una reputación "a prueba de todo" en lo que respecta a esta línea de productos. Al ver instalada esta...
