Have owned this for a couple of years and have not been happy. It stalls for no reason and the fast-forward is jumpy and choppy. It was very slow to start up until I installed an update. Would not buy this model again.

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

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

I acquired a Sony BDP-S550, Sony BDP-S350, and PS3. In the 3 weeks that I've had this player, it's done a good job on video and audio quality. I'm running it on a 37" Hitachi connected through HDMI. I've never had any of the stutters or other audio/video glitches that others have mentioned.

Just got the player about a month ago. The Player works awsome, much faster load times than the older bdps300. Great bang for the buck picture just as good as the more expensive bdps550 with just a couple less features. Which most people will never use.

Load time much faster this year; Ethenet connectivity; Dolby true hd and DTS HD audio

No DTS HD Master Audio; Lacks 7.1 audio

If you'd prefer not to spend a fortune on a Blu-ray player, but still want the quality-assurance that comes from the Sony brand, then the BDP-S350 is a top-quality choice.

Great performance for the asking price; attractive & compact design; comparatively fast load times; user-friendly interface

Poorly designed USB port; analog outputs limited to 2-channel

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

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

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

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 buttons are for power, TV (optical source), Bluetooth sourc...

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.
