Great sound with punchy bass, clear treble, and a rich, smooth mid-range

Enhanced listening experience over common stereo sound bars

Virtual Atmos feature for added bonus

Option to connect rear speakers for 5.1 surround sound

Small and slim size

Not a cheap solution

Relatively pricey at eight hundred nine hundred dollars

May not be the best substitute for a full board Dolby Atmos system

Verdict

The Sony HT-ZF9 is a great soundbar for those looking for a small system with big, clear and dimensional sound. It offers enhanced listening experience over common stereo sound bars and a scale and width that works well with movies and music. The Virtual Atmos feature is also an added bonus. However, it is relatively pricey at eight hundred nine hundred dollars, so it may not be the best substitute for a full board Dolby Atmos system. Additionally, some users have reported bugs with the product.

Dear strangers,. I got the Sony HT-ZF9 Soundbar and I love it.

This is far from my first Sony product. All my TVs are Sony, my other soundbars are Sony (home theater system is comprised of Sony Z-series receiver, and 800 DVD 4K.

Just bought Sony 950H 65”. Looking for a good Sony sound bar and sound system.

I am using Sony HT-ZF9 with the rear speakers and I am very happy with it. Shouldn't cost that much anymore and the performance is very good for the money. I've paid 1000€ two years ago and don't regret any cent.

nice size but virtual sound is not there yet.

I sold my full Bose 300 setup and hope to find something better with Atmos. Had high hope on this soundbar since it checked all the boxes for me. 1) small and slim size 2) Has option surround speakers 3) Atmos that does not require sound to bounce around. Right off the bat i loved the look of this s...

Sony HT-ZF9 still worth it? Would JBL 9.1 be better?

3 days ago I bought HT-ZF9. At first I met a few problems with a sound, especially with dialogues in games and movies. Thanks to Reddit and Google research i set it up and now voices are great, I don’t have rear speakers so for me Sony is the way to go.

UPDATE x2: It Sounds Good. Your Sources Matter, But There May Be Better ...

Update 2: Candidly I have been very, very tough on this system given the high expectations. My first review was very tough given the money I spent on it, and how long I saved to buy it. As an update, I would happily spend the money on this system again given what I know now. There are other system o...

They have also reached me and I have tried: (I still have to receive the Sony HT-ZF9) Sony HT-X8500, LG SN7CY and Denon DHT-S416. I did not like the Sony HT-X8500 in the voices and the sound (perhaps because it does not have eARC? ), I have tried all the configurations and comparing it with the LG SN7CY which was the first to come to me it was far behind, even with the vertical sound didn't notice much difference.
