"The Sony Bravia Theater System 6 is one of the best soundbar setups I've tested this year, offering a unique mix of components that serve up some of the most thrilling and musical surround sound you can get for the money. There aren't a ton of fancy features here, but you'll get everything you need in one box to take your TV setup from boring to bodacious."
"It's a lot of wires for a single-box surround system in 2025, but the payoff is performance that gets refreshingly close to more complex multi-speaker setups. You'll get punch and verve in the bass, smooth musicality and poised dialog from the bar, and clear and fluid surround channels from the back speakers. While there aren't any upfiring speakers for 3D sound formats like Dolby Atmos, the System 6 does a commendable job virtualizing Atmos."
The Sony Bravia Theater System 6 is a 5.1-channel package that combines a slim soundbar, large subwoofer cabinet, two tall surround speakers, and a small amplifier box. The subwoofer serves as the primary hub with HDMI eARC, digital optical, and 3.5-mm analog inputs, connecting to the bar via a flat cable. The amplifier connects wirelessly to the subwoofer while the surround speakers use flat cables. Sound character emphasizes punchy, lively bass, smooth musicality, poised dialog, and clear surround imaging. The system virtualizes Dolby Atmos effectively despite lacking upfiring drivers. The package omits Wi-Fi, confines streaming to Bluetooth, and requires USB updates.
