Sony HTG-700 3.1ch Atmos Soundbar HTG700 review
At a price of $599.99 it sits up there with some of the more pricier soundbars but does at least include a wireless subwoofer. Its 3.1CH system sounds good and its 7.1.2 virtual option is fun to play with.
Sony HTG-700 3.1ch Soundbar HTG700 review
If you want a tidy and discreet soundbar to bring significant extra presence to your TV sound then the HT-G700 is worth your consideration. If you're hoping for some Dolby Atmos-style immersion, though - or proper tonal balance where music is concerned - you won't consider it all that long- Compact and tidily finished
- Wireless subwoofer offers extra convenience (and wallop)
- Far more dynamic and direct a listen than virtually every TV
- Soundbar and subwoofer aren’t on great terms
- Tonality is skewed - with high frequencies in particular quite hard work
- Doesn’t make good on claims of Atmos-style surround sound

Accomplished but not really immersive
Sony HTG-700 3.1ch Atmos Soundbar HTG700 review
Few soundbars can simulate surround sound like the Sony HT-G700.- Impressive enveloping soundscape, clear speech.
- The sub could be more linear, and dialogues lack finesse.
Sony HTG-700 3.1ch Soundbar HTG700 review

- weighty sound
- Impressive Atmos effect
- Solid and stylish
- Lack of crispness and clarity
- No streaming functionality

Sony HTG-700 3.1ch Soundbar HTG700 review
The HT-G700’s $500 price tag might sound enticing given its array of 3D audio functionality, but it’s missing a huge feature: Wi-Fi connectivity.- Support for virtual 3D modes from Dolby
- DTS
- and Sony

Sony HTG-700 3.1ch Soundbar HTG700 review
If you don't have the space for a full surround sound system, the HT-G700 is a smart way of bringing Atmos to the home with a smaller footprint. It isn't the surround sound experience Sony suggests it is, but the Vertical Surround Engine works brilliantly in creating height channels without the aid...- Atmos for a compact space
- Vertical Surround Engine is clever
- Tight
- punchy bass
- Enjoyable music performance
- Suited to compact spaces
- Overcomplicated menu system
- Claims of virtual surround sound is overstated
- Squashed aspect to the sound at times
