The Sony BDP-S350 BluRay player is one of the better, under-$300 BluRay players on the market, for my money. Compared to the others that I had tried, and the ones my friends have, this BluRay player has nothing to worry about from the competition for the time being.

Top of the line No. Good Absolutely.

Easy to set up; Straightforward to use thanks to remote control; Good sound with fairly neutral frequency response and powerful sub; Price

No Dolby Atmos or DTS:X support; No good Bluetooth codec support; Some of the EQ modes seem redundant

Fantastic sound, incredible bass from the sub-woofer and really nice and compact.

Probably the greatest soundbar at it's price. It's an amazing upgrade to what I already have, was extremely easy to setup, and is sleek enough to not take up my entire TV stand. Would definitely recommend.

Head and shoulders above the TV speakers, especially the low notes

It helps the older people hear the volume at much lower number and maintains the sound enrichment. The cost is much lower than other manufactures much higher retail

NONE

I need to reclaim some space for larger furniture, so I decided to get rid of mu surround sound and replace it with a sound bar and sub woofer. After listening to several in my budget range, I decided on the Sony HT-S350. The overall sound quality for the price nailed it for me.

For a 2.1 soundbar system at this price, the Sony HT-S350 is a steal. The various audio modes and subwoofer levels allow for plenty of fine-tuning, but things already sound pretty great to begin. In this price range, we're also fans of the JBL Bar 3.1 , the Polk Audio Signa S1 , and the Sonos Beam .

Relatively affordable; Powerful, clear audio with multiple sound modes and adjustable subwoofer levels; Easy to set up and operate

Sound signature is quite sculpted; regardless of mode

The pricing for soundbars varies so greatly, it's hard to know where to dive in. Recently we reviewed the Bowers & Wilkins Formation Bar, which lacks a subwoofer at its base price of over $1,000. The Sony HT-S350, on the other hand, features a bar a wireless subwoofer for just $279.99. So it's only natural to wonder whether a 2.1 system this affordable is going to be any good. The good news is that it is indeed possible to get quality soundbar audio—with a subwoofer—for a relatively low price. It may not be audiophile-grade, but the HT-S350 is a powerhouse, with variable sound modes and subwoofer levels. It packs a lot of thunder, and is an excellent value for the price, earning our Editors' Choice. Design The HT-S350's main unit is a relatively modest 2.7-by-35.5-by-3.5-inch (HWD) bar, with a black contour featuring touch-sensitive buttons on its faux-leather top panel and a front-facing grille covering the drivers.

The Sony HT-S350 soundbar delivers a wide range of audio modes and some serious thunder from its wireless subwoofer for a surprisingly affordable price.

Relatively affordable; Powerful, clear audio with multiple sound modes and adjustable subwoofer levels; Easy to set up and operate

Sound signature is quite sculpted; regardless of mode

Sony's HT-S350 soundbar chooses massive sound over clarity and features.

Easy setup; Big bass response; Powerful sound; Bluetooth connection to newer Sony TVs

Lacking in inputs and audio processing; Sound is boxy and occasionally unbalanced; Poor visual interface

Liked it was in great shape & condition. It works very well but doesn't play all my Dvds or Blu Rays.
