This Sony soundbar delivers deliciously crisp audio for virtually every genre - now it's $200 off, too

"A soundbar is a must-have to accompany your TV -- your TV's speakers won't cut it. Even if you think you don't need one, you'll never go back once you get one. Trust me. However, a soundbar only gets better when it has rear speakers and a subwoofer working alongside it. Although some enthusiasts may encourage you to assemble your own home theater, you can buy one in a box."

"The System 6 is not a flagship soundbar, but it's not necessarily for beginners, either. The system consists of a center channel bar, two rear speakers, one external subwoofer, and all the necessary wires and connectivity boxes. Unlike Sony's flagship Bravia home theater products, the System 6 lacks Wi-Fi connectivity and relies on wired connections for power. The System 6's lack of Wi-Fi means it's incompatible with wireless streaming options like AirPlay, Spotify Connect, or Google Cast."

"Although this system lacks Wi-Fi wireless streaming, Sony fitted it with its Digital Sound Enhancement Engine to enhance the sound quality of compressed audio via Bluetooth streaming. The System 6 is compatible with wireless streaming via Bluetooth, and the main soundbar includes an optical input for a host of Dolby Digital audio formats. The soundbar's HDMI eARC input is responsible for accessing Dolby Digital audio formats, Dolby Atmos, and DTS:X spatial audio formats."

The System 6 lacks Wi‑Fi and relies on wired power, making it incompatible with AirPlay, Spotify Connect, and Google Cast. The system supports Bluetooth streaming enhanced by Sony's Digital Sound Enhancement Engine and includes an optical input and HDMI eARC to access Dolby Digital, Dolby Atmos, and DTS:X audio formats. The System 6 avoids flagship pricing while omitting some premium features.
