The editors liked

  • With its ultra slim design and 4K HDMI-ready inputs
  • The HT-NT5 is both good looking and forward facing. It may be a TV soundbar
  • But this Hi-Res Audio-ready soundbar's also an audiophile-grade component in its own right
  • Clear
  • Open sound
  • Will go decently loud
  • Times well with good drive and organisation
  • Outstanding clarity and dialogue articulation
  • Premium design and finish
  • HDMI 4K pass
  • Through
  • HDCP 2.2
  • The Sony HT-NT5 gets nearly everything right
  • Design
  • Features and sound for music and home theater

The editors didn't like

  • At times the system can sound a little too sharp with movie content
  • And it doesn't really plumb the depths when deep LFE is required. It's almost too refined for its own good – seriously
  • It's like it was designed by your next door neighbor – and it's be
  • Sub is soft and poorly integrated
  • Midrange lacks detail and expression
  • Struggles to convey dynamics
  • Busy scenes can sound congested
  • Compact subwoofer too mild
  • Relies heavily on Google Cast
  • Some movie soundtracks are too sharp
  • Sound quality
  • While excellent
  • Is not twice as good as a $400 sound bar. Setting up rear speakers is expensive and a little frustrating
  • Subwoofer doesn't go LFE deep
  • Hardly a volume monster

  • With the HT-NT5, Sony has produced a soundbar with audiophile aspirations and an unapologetic upmarket design. Disarmingly versatile, it works equally well on furniture as on-wall, and generously offers a trio of 4K-ready HDMI inputs, plus compatibility w...

  • Clear, open sound, Will go decently loud, Times well with good drive and organisation,
  • Sub is soft and poorly integrated, Midrange lacks detail and expression, Struggles to convey dynamics, Busy scenes can sound congested,
  • The HT-NT5 is a slender, well-designed and well-specced soundbar that appears to be a tempting proposition, even with its £600 price tag.However, despite its ability to make things louder, wider and more focused, we're not getting much more detail than fr...

  • Outstanding clarity and dialogue articulation, Premium design and finish, HDMI 4K pass, through , HDCP 2.2
  • Compact subwoofer too mild, Relies heavily on Google Cast, Some movie soundtracks are too sharp

  • Feature abundant, Wide sound field, Loud
  • Pricey, Lacks midrange
  • The HT-NT5 can't be beat when it comes to features alone — it rivals many stand-alone audio-video receivers. From 4K to high-resolution audio, it embraces the latest video and audio formats and makes it simple to use them. It sounds pretty good, too, with...

  • Slightly weak in the low-mids for music, Only uses Miracast for video streaming, Power cables are permanently attached
  • The well-connected Sony HT-NT5 soundbar is a powerful two-piece speaker system equipped with Google Cast and 4K HDMI passthrough...
