Sony
Bravia
Theater
Bar
8:
One-minute
review

When

Sony
announced
its
2024
AV
lineup,
it
wasn’t
just
its
TVs
that
received
a
more
straightforward
naming
system,
but
its
soundbars
too.
This
year,
the
potentially
tricky-to-remember
model
numbers
have
been
replaced
with
a
much
simpler
Bravia
branding.
The
Sony
Bravia
Theater
Bar
8
replaces
the
HT-A5000
as
the
company’s
mid-range
model
–
sitting
below
the
Theater
Bar
9
and
the
Bravia
Theater
Quad
four-speaker
audio
system
–
and
arrives
with
the
aim
to
be
one
of

best
soundbars.

As
with
the
HT-A5000,
this
latest
model
is
a
standalone
Dolby
Atmos
soundbar.
There
are
no
wireless
rear
speakers
included,
nor
is
there
a
wireless
subwoofer,
but
these
can
be
added
as
optional
extras
if
you
wish
to
create
an
even
more
immersive
surround
sound
experience.
Despite
the
Sony
Bravia
Theater
Bar
8
cramming
11
speakers
into
its
slimline
body
to
create
a
“bubble
of
sound”
in
Sony’s
words,
we
would
recommend
true
movie
buffs
consider
adding
at
least
a
subwoofer
to
handle
the
low-end.

The
Bar
8
is
smaller
than
its
predecessor
–
by
some
30%
–
and
is
low
in
height,
meaning
it
slots
effortlessly
in
front
of
a
TV.
Connectivity
is
good
rather
than
great
with
just
two
HDMI
ports,
one
of
which
is
eARC
to
connect
to
your
TV.
Thankfully,
however,
the
other
HDMI
input
is
the
2.1
standard
and
it
supports

8K/60Hz
and

4K/120Hz
passthrough,
meaning
you
can
confidently
connect
external
devices
including
games
consoles
and
4K
Blu-ray
players.
Elsewhere
there
is
Spotify
Connect,
AirPlay
2
and
Bluetooth
for
streaming
music.

While
some
may
expect
more
from
a
soundbar
that
costs
$999
/
£999
/
AU$1,499,
where
connections
or
additional
rear
speakers
are
concerned
there’s
no
denying
the
Sony
Bravia
Theater
Bar
8
does
an
excellent
job
of
boosting
the
sound
of
your
TV.
Although
as
for
true
Dolby
Atmos
it
does
fall
a
little
short
of
the
competition.
The
company’s
360
Spatial
Sound
Mapping
tech
does
work
in
creating
phantom
speakers,
but
we
found
during
our
testing
that
the
soundfield
was
more
of
a
half-dome
as
opposed
to
a
full-dome
covering
an
entire
room.

We
also
found
that
the
Bravia
Bar
8
performed
at
its
best
in
small
to
medium-sized
rooms,
as
it
seemed
to
lack
the
power
to
fill
a
larger
open
space.
Adding
the
optional
rear
speakers
and/or
a
subwoofer
will
undoubtedly
help
(we
didn’t
have
them
for
this
review),
but
the
total
cost
of
such
a
package
adds
up
to
far
more
than
tried
and
tested
complete
Dolby
Atmos
soundbar
packages,
despite
the
Bravia
Bar
8
receiving
what
seem
to
be
permanent
price
cuts
globally
(as
of
September
2024,
it’s
typical
street
price
is
generally
around
$849.99
/
£799
/
AU$1,249).

So
while
it
might
not
be
the
outright
best
option
for
your
main
TV
viewing
room,
the
Sony
Bravia
Bar
8
can
certainly
find
a
spot
in
a
bedroom
or
smaller
TV
room.
The
only
question
you’ll
need
to
ask
yourself
is
if
you’d
rather
opt
for
the

Sonos
Arc.
It
doesn’t
cost
that
much
more
than
the
Sony,
handles
music
better
and
has
the
added
potential
benefit
multiroom
functionality.

The
Sony

was
announced
in
April
2024
and
went
on
sale
in
July
2024
in

for

That
puts
it
right
in
the
firing
line
of
the
Sonos
Arc,
which
also
goes
without
a
wireless
subwoofer
or
rear
speakers
included.

It’s
less
than
the
MSRP
of
the

Samsung
HW-Q990D
–
our
current
favorite
Dolby
Atmos
soundbar
on
our
list
of
the

best

–
although
recent
price
drops
against
Samsung’s
soundbar
make
it
approximately
the
same
price
as
the
Sony
Bravia
Theater
Bar
8
in
most
regions.

Samsung’s
flagship
bar
comes
with
a
wireless
subwoofer
and
rear
speakers
included,
although
the
rears
do
require
constant
power.
Sony’s
selection
of
optional
rear
speakers
run
off
rechargeable
batteries
and
so
could
prove
to
be
a
more
appealing
option
for
anyone
short
on
power
outlets
in
their

As
you’ll
find
with
soundbars
from
the
likes
of

LG
and
Samsung,
the
Sony
Bravia
Theater
Bar
8
can
connect
to
a
Sony
TV
from
2021
or
newer
and
use
it
as
a
center
channel
via
Bravia
Acoustic
Center
Sync.
It
would
have
been
nice
for
this
to
have
worked
via
HDMI
–
whereby
the
soundbar
should
be
able
to
detect
it’s
connected
to
a
Sony
TV
–
but
you
have
to
connect
them
together
using
the
included
cable.
If
you
don’t
own
a
Sony
TV,
but
your
TV
has
an
S-Center
speaker
input,
you
can
take
advantage
of
this
feature
via
the
same
3.5mm
cable
wired
connection
(the
3.5mm
port
on
the
rear
of
the
Bravia
Bar
8
can
only
be
used
for
this
feature
and
can’t
be
used
as
an
input
from
external
devices).

There
are
only
two
HDMI
ports
on
the
Bravia
Bar
8,
and
with
one
needed
to
connect
to
a
TV
via
eARC,
there
is
just
one
spare
for
external
devices.
Fortunately,
this
input
does
support
8K/60Hz
and
4K/120Hz
passthrough
and
gamers
will
appreciate
that
it
supports
auto
low
latency
mode
(ALLM)
and
variable
refresh
rate
(VRR).
Having
just
one
spare
HDMI
input
shouldn’t
alienate
too
many
users,
but
the
previous
HT-A5000
had
two
spare,
so
it’s
peculiar
as
to
why
Sony
has
dropped
one
this
time
around.

Setting
up
the
Bravia
Bar
8
is
incredibly
easy.
Simply
connect
it
to
your
TV
via
the
aforementioned
HDMI
port,
open
up
the
Bravia
Connect
app
on
your
iOS
or
Android
device
and
connect
it
to
your
network.
Once
done,
you’ll
want
to
run
a
calibration
to
ensure
the
soundbar
is
optimized
for
your
specific
room.
It’s
a
process
that
only
takes
around
20
seconds
and
sees
the
soundbar
emitting
various
tones
to
determine
the
acoustics
of
your
room
to
optimize
the
sound
output
based
on
your
usual
seating
position.

There’s
no
option
to
manually
adjust
speaker
channel
settings
as
you
can
with
other
soundbars
such
as
the
Samsung
HW-Q990D,
but
you
can
choose
from
three
height
modes
–
lower,
default
and
higher
–
and
three
different
sound
field
settings.
The
default
option
here
is
Sony’s
360
Spatial
Sound
Mapping,
but
you
also
have
the
option
of
DTS
Neural:X
or
Dolby
Speaker
Visualizer.
You
can
also
turn
the
sound
field
mode
off
entirely
if
you
wish
(I’ll
discuss
the
effects
of
this
further
down
in
the
performance
section).
And,
when
rear
speakers
are
connected,
the
Sony
Bravia
Theater
Bar
8
can
deliver
an
IMAX
Enhanced
certified
audio
presentation.

There
aren’t
any
sound
modes
along
the
lines
of
‘Movie’
or
‘Music’,
which
is
an
interesting
omission,
and
there’s
also
very
little
mention
of
AI
being
used.
The
only
AI-related
feature
of
the
Theater
Bar
8
is
to
detect
human
voices
and
make
them
clearer
via
“AI
sound
separation”.

If
you
want
to
play
music
through
the
Bar
8,
you
can
do
so
via
HDMI,
Bluetooth,
Spotify
Connect
or
AirPlay
2.
Hi-Res
audio
is
supported
from
compatible
sources
along
with
Sony’s
LDAC
wireless
codec.
You
can
also
stream
songs
mixed
in
Sony’s
own
360
Reality
Audio
via

Amazon
Music
Unlimited.

Performance

Powerful
with
genuine
height

Bass
handling
would
benefit
from
a
dedicated
subwoofer

With
11
speakers
inside
the
bar,
including
two
up-firing
and
two
new
side-firing
drivers,
the
Sony
Bravia
Theater
Bar
8
is
certainly
capable
of
delivering
powerful,
expansive
sound
into
your
room.
But
expansive
doesn’t
necessarily
mean
enveloping,
as
I
found
it
to
produce
more
of
a
half-dome
of
sound
rather
than
a
complete
bubble
to
include
sounds
coming
from
behind
my
viewing
position.

I
began
my
testing
in
a
smaller
room
of
the
house,
with
the
soundbar
connected
to
the

Sony
Bravia
8
OLED
TV
and
a
scene
from

The
Incredibles
streaming
on
Disney
Plus
–
the
part
where
the
children
are
in
the
jungle
escaping
from
Syndrome’s
henchmen.
There
was
obvious
height
and
width
to
the
sound,
with
the
flying
saucer-like
vehicles
shooting
across
the
screen
and
up
above
the
listening
position
when
they
went
off
screen.

For
the
majority
of
my
testing,
I
had
the
height
sound
setting
set
to
‘higher’
as
it
provided
the
most
immersive
experience.
I
toggled
between
‘default’
and
‘lower’
settings
but
found
both
to
have
a
negative
impact
on
the
movie
I
was
watching.
I
wasn’t
personally
able
to
find
a
scenario
where
either
of
these
settings
would
be
useful
when
watching
a
film.

Sony
says
the
Bravia
Bar
8
is
capable
of
bouncing
sound
off
the
ceiling
to
create
phantom
speakers
behind
the
listening
position,
but
I
wasn’t
able
to
distinguish
these
during
my
testing.
Dedicated
rear
speakers
would
no
doubt
alleviate
this,
as
they’ll
be
on
hand
to
actually
deliver
sound
from
behind
the
viewing
position.

Dialogue
was
notably
impressive,
however,
coming
through
crystal
clear
even
when
the
volume
was
turned
up.
I
also
found
the
Voice
Mode
–
activated
within
the
Bravia
Connect
app
or
on
the
supplied
remote
control
–
did
indeed
give
dialogue
a
boost
without
sacrificing
too
much
of
the
rest
of
the
soundtrack.
And
as
for
the
Bravia
Bar
8’s
bass
handling
during
the
same
scene
in

The
Incredibles,
I
was
pleasantly
surprised
by
the
depths
it
could
go
to,
especially
given
the
absence
of
a
wireless
subwoofer.

But,
those
same
opinions
didn’t
translate
over
to
the
chase
scene
in

The
Batman
–
I
loaded
up
a
4K
Ultra
HD
Blu-ray
on
a
PlayStation
5
and
was
left
a
little
disappointed.
The
engine
growl
from
the
Batmobile
was
lacking
impact
and
the
chase
as
a
whole
lacked
excitement.
The
bass
output
from
the
Theater
Bar
8
is
good,
but
it
was
apparent
it
had
a
limit
to
its
capabilities.
A
subwoofer
would
help
here
as
it
would
take
away
much
of
the
low-end
duties
from
the
soundbar,
leaving
it
to
focus
on
other
tasks.

A
positive
to
come
from
this
sequence,
however,
was
that
bullets
fired
at
the
Batmobile’s
windows
did
pierce
through
the
presentation,
which
is
something
I’ve
found
other
soundbars
such
as
the
Sonos
Arc
can
falter
on.

There
are
just
two
HDMI
2.1
connections
on
the
Sony
Bravia
Theater
Bar
8
soundbar,
one
of
which
is
reserved
for
an
eARC
connection.

I
also
streamed
music
to
the
Bravia
Bar
8
via
AirPlay
from
my
iPhone
using
Amazon
Music
Unlimited.
I
loaded
up
a
few
tracks
that
had
been
mixed
in
Sony’s
360
Reality
Audio
format,
but
that
were
also
available
in
Ultra
HD
–
Amazon’s
version
of
Hi-Res
–
so
I
could
switch
between
the
two.

Put
simply,
songs
streamed
in
the
latter
format
sounded
much
better.
Miley
Cyrus’

Flowers,
for
example,
was
delivered
with
extremely
good
vocal
clarity
and
decent
low-end
bass
when
streaming
in
the
Ultra
HD
format.
Having
the
soundbar’s
360
Spatial
Sound
Mapping
soundfield
selected
also
added
some
extra
expanse
to
the
performance,
resulting
in
something
that
was
perfectly
enjoyable
and
listenable.
However,
switching
it
to
the
default
setting
did
yield
a
more
natural-sounding
performance.

It
wasn’t
such
good
news
when
moving
over
to
the
360
Reality
Audio
version
of
the
same
song.
Bass
was
essentially
eradicated
and
the
overall
performance
sounded
tinny
and
not
too
dissimilar
to
a
very
cheap
Bluetooth
speaker.
I
tried
to
fix
it
by
turning
off
the
soundfield
setting,
but
it
didn’t
make
a
huge
amount
of
difference,
other
than
removing
any
notion
of
height
from
the
song.

–
but
we’ve
also

Sony’s

that
this

This
is
because
the

as
Sony’s

Plus,
it
makes
use
of

with
the
intention
of
creating
a

The

is
pretty
attractive
by
soundbar
standards.
It
measures
1100

64
x
113
mm,
making
it
slightly
shorter
than
a
55-inch
TV
(which
roughly
measures
1200mm).
I
had
it
setup
in
front
of
a
65-inch
Sony
Bravia

OLED
and
a
77-inch
LG
G4
OLED
TV
(top

during
my
testing
and
in
both
instances
it
looked
perfectly
fine,
meaning
it
would
be
well-suited
to
be
placed
in
front
of
a
75-inch
TV,
too.
Coincidentally,
55-,
65-
and
75-inch
are
the
three
sizes
the
Sony

is
available
in
and,
to
further
highlight
how
both
8-series

are
ideal
partners,
Sony
includes
a
set
of
feet
in
the

with
the
soundbar
to
raise
it
slightly
so
that
it

both.

The

is
covered
in
a
cloth
fabric
which
means
when
you’re
watching
TV
the

panel
won’t
reflect
the
screen
above
it.

A

LED
is
the

indicator
for

One
feature
I
would
have
liked
to
see
is
a
proper
front
panel
display
for
information
such
as
current
input
or
even
volume
level.
There
are
two
small
LEDs
on
the
front
right
of
the
Bar
8,
one
to
indicate
when
you’re
adjusting
the
volume
and
one
to
indicate
the
current
source.
An
HDMI
device
shines
white,
for
example,
while
Bluetooth
is
expectedly
blue.
For
more
information
relating
to
volume
level
and
source
input,
you
need
to
open
up
the
Bravia
Connect
app.

Setting
up
the
Sony
Bravia
Theater
Bar
8
is
a
relatively
straightforward
affair.
All
you
need
to
do
is
connect
an
HDMI
cable
from
the
soundbar
to
your
TV
(Sony
supplies
one
in
the
box),
wait
for
it
to
register
and
you’re
away.
You’ll
need
to
turn
to
the
Sony
Bravia
Connect
app
for
iOS
and
Android
to
get
it
connected
to
your
home
Wi-Fi
network
and
to
carry
out
the
speedy
sound
optimization
calibration.

A
remote
control
is
supplied
too,
for
those
moments
when
you
don’t
want
or
need
to
use
the
app.
There
is
a
central
button
for
volume
control
(you
can’t
press
and
hold
to
turn
the
volume
up
and
down),
along
with
a
dedicated
button
to
adjust
the
bass
level,
turn
the
soundfield
mode
on
or
off
(but
not
toggle
through
them),
and
toggle
voice
mode
and
night
mode.
The
Bar
8
does
work
via
HDMI-CEC,
allowing
you
to
adjust
the
volume
using
your
TV’s
remote
control.

Value

Premium

Similarly-priced
competitors
include
rear
speakers
and

Not
a
class
leader

While
it
launched
at
$999
/
£999
/
AU$1,499,
the
Bravia
Theater
Bar
8
appears
to
have
received
a
regular
discount
in
all
territories,
seeing
its
price
drop
to
$849.99
/
£799
/
AU$1,249.
In
the
US
at
the
time
of
writing,
it
can
be
picked
up
with
a
further
discount
of
$150.
At
its
MSRP,
the
Bravia
Bar
8
was
immediately
pitted
against
the
Sonos
Arc,
which
we
consider
to
be
one
of
the
best
standalone
Dolby
Atmos
soundbars
and
which
does
outperform
the
Sony.

Now
it
appears
to
have
received
a
price
cut,
it’s
a
more
appealing
option
and
somewhat
helps
stomach
the
extra
cost
for
a
wireless
subwoofer
and/or
wireless
rear
speakers,
should
you
want
to
add
them.
Considering
its
performance
isn’t
quite
at
the
level
we
were
expecting,
it’s
not
the
obvious
choice
for
anyone
looking
to
create
a
Dolby
Atmos
experience
at
home.

Our
current
pick
for
the
outright
best
Dolby
Atmos
soundbar
is
the
Samsung
HW-Q990D,
which
can
regularly
be
found
for
much
less
than
its
launch
price
in
all
territories.
If
you
have
one
of
Sony’s
2024
Bravia
TVs,
then
the
Bravia
Theater
Bar
8
is
a
natural
pairing,
but
for
anyone
else,
the
Samsung
soundbar
still
gets
our
vote.

How
I

the
Sony

Connected

and

G4

Tested
with
a
variety
of
sources

All
soundfield
modes
tested

I
tested
the
Sony
Bravia
Theater
Bar
8
over
a
period
of
two
weeks.
I
connected
it
to
a
Sony
Bravia
8
TV
in
a
small
room
to
test
its
sound
output
and
any
same
brand
exclusive
features.
I
also
moved
it
to
a
much
larger
room
and
connected
it
to
an
LG
G4.

The
majority
of
testing
was
conducted
with
the
highest
soundfield
setting
enabled,
although
I
did
toggle
between
the
other
options
to
analyze
the
sound
output.

I
played
content
from
streaming
services
and
4K
Blu-ray
discs
to
test
the
Bravia
Theater
Bar
8’s
ability
to
handle
Dolby
Atmos
soundtracks,
and
analyzed
not
only
its
spatial
sound
performance,
but
also
bass,
trebles
and
vocal
clarity.

I
also
streamed
music
via
Bluetooth
and
Wi-Fi
to
test
music
playback.
I
played
hi-res
audio,
Atmos
and
Sony
360
Reality
Audio
tracks
via
Amazon
Music
Unlimited
and
