Sony HT-X8500 Soundbar Review: Sony bucks the trend with key features

With a ‘binge-watch’ culture at its peak and people hooked to high-definition TVs, laptops, even smartphones, the need for immersive audio is only obvious — sub-par sound quality mars the experience of watching your favourite series or movie.

If you are a binge-watcher looking your kind of audio device, the Sony HT-X8500 soundbar with Dolby Atmos, launched in May this year, might help clear the morass. With a slew of worthy features, this soundbar easily outdoes the others in its price segment.

Sony HT-X8500 Soundbar Priced at Rs 29,990, the 2.1-channel soundbar has a built-in subwoofer in the middle centre with two wide-range drivers at both ends. What’s more, it also offers Dolby Atmos, DTS X, and virtual 7.1.2-channel surround sound. This lightweight but sturdy soundbar has a metal covering on its front and can be easily mounted on a wall.
