Sony is a world-class audio manufacturer and one of the most well-known audio manufacturers in China. When it comes to Sony, it is natural to think of its players, headphones, in fact, Sony is also excellent in HiFi devices, its amplifiers and speakers have been favored by HiFi gamers, and they will give priority to Sony when assembling home theaters.
 
However, with the shrinkage of the traditional home theater market, Sony has also slowly shifted its focus to the simple version of the home theater - sound bar, and has decentralized a lot of technology, and the actual results are also very good, ranking fourth in the North American market in terms of sales.
 
Compared with other brands of sound bar, thanks to the S-Force Pro front virtual surround technology and Sony digital amplifier S-Master technology, Sony sound bar has a better sense of surround than other sound bars that use virtual surround technology, which can effectively reduce sound distortion, although it is not as good as Yamaha's digital sound projection technology, but the effect is also very obvious, which can give people a good sense of immersion.
 
In addition, Sony's sound bar is leading the industry in mobile device connectivity, and its sound bar supports NFC connectivity and can be controlled via a mobile app. Some models support LDAC wireless audio encoding technology, and if it is paired with other LDAC-enabled devices, such as Sony's HiFi players and mobile phones, Bluetooth music has a higher fidelity level, and even if it is not used as a TV speaker, it can also be used as a Bluetooth speaker in the study.

HT-RT5 and HT-NT5 are Sony's mid-range products, both of which perform well in terms of functionality and sound quality at the 4000 yuan price point, so they have always been popular products. Non-Blu-ray movie lovers choose NT-5It is more suitable,It supports basic Dolby and DTS decoding,Meet the needs of general audio-visual entertainment,Two satellite speakers can be added in the later stage to achieve4.1Surround sound,But due to the lack of center channel speaker,Its surround effect is quite different from5.1Channels。 RT5 has more complete functions, supports Dolby Atmos sound, and is also more cost-effective, but unfortunately due to the relatively early release date of RT5, it does not support 4K HDR output.
 
In addition, Sony's sound bar has many series: CT is a slim series, focusing on a thin and light body, MT is a mini series, the sound bar and subwoofer are small in size, simple and beautiful appearance, and the HT-MT500 model also won the 2017 Red Dot Design Award. The S series is an all-in-one sound bar series, which does not come with a subwoofer or DTS decoding, positioning it as an entry-level sound bar. The above series are limited by size, and the sound quality is not outstanding, so if you don't pay attention to appearance and volume, it is not recommended to buy.
