  • Abstract:  The SONY HT-X8500 is proof that you don't need to spend big for a truly entertaining Dolby Atmos-enabled soundbar. Modestly priced (given that you can easily spend twice as much for a rival system), it's surprisingly compact and compatible with both Dolby...

  • All-in-one 2.1 design, Good with movies and music, Plug ‘n' Play installation,
  • No Wi-Fi support, No up-firing Dolby Atmos drivers, Pronounced sweet spot,
  • The HT-X8500 soundbar doesn't only offer brilliant value for money, it also brings the multiplex home in a way few will find difficult to live with. While it's only a 2.1 system, the impact of Sony's inventive DSP post processing for that surround sound e...

  • Neat design, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, Weighty, open sound,
  • Thick, muffled midrange, Lack of crispness and definition, Occasionally confusing operation,
  • Despite the flaws in its sonic presentation, the Sony HT-X8500 is an undeniable sonic improvement over most flatscreen TVs, particularly in terms of delivering cinematic weight and spaciousness.But, while it delivers big on specs, its core sound quality i...

  • Dolby Atmos and DTS:X compatible, Compact all-in-one form factor, Integrated subwoofer, Easy to set-up and use, Brilliant value
  • No upfiring drivers, Not High-Res Audio capable, Stripped back feature set
  • Given that rival Dolby Atmos compatible soundbars typically sell for twice the price, Sony's HT-X8500 warrants an easy recommendation. Cost-cutting can be attributed to connectivity and features but what's genuinely confounding is just how great the HT-X8...

  • Abstract:  Nothing can be more disappointing to home entertainment users than bad sound. With few exceptions (mostly on the high-end and cost side) most TV sets have very poor sound when compared to their screen quality (the Sony A1 TVs with their on-screen speakers...

  Published: 2019-06-10, Author: Ali , review by: gadgets.ndtv.com

  • Good, Easy to set up and use, Decent mid-range and low-end sound, Can get quite loud, Support for Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, 4K passthrough, HDMI-CEC, Fairly wide soundstage
  • Vertical Surround mode is gimmicky, No display, confusing LED-based prompts
  • If you spend up to Rs. 40,000 on a TV, you might not be inclined to spend more than Rs. 15,000 on a soundbar. However, if you have the budget for a better TV, you should also get the right soundbar to go with it. The Sony HT-X8500 isn't a premium soundbar...

  • Abstract:  Cuando Sony nos ofreció probar su televisor Bravia A8G, no sabíamos qué esperar, solo sabíamos que era caro y que debía verse bien. La marca cuenta con una reputación "a prueba de todo" en lo que respecta a esta línea de productos. Al ver instalada esta...
