The Vertical Surround Engine system, Sony's latest surround sound technology, allows you to enjoy the magic of Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X® from a single slim unit. Regardless of the type of space, the advanced DSP technology offers the capability to reproduce rich, cinematic sound that comes from all around, even from above, using only two front speakers.
Now you can enjoy everything you watch with maximum 7.1.2 channel sound. Sony's advanced digital signal processing converts stereo sound into cinematic surround sound, with the press of a button on the remote control.
Five sound modes enhance your entertainment experience. Immerse yourself in movies with Cinema mode, and improve your gaming with Game mode created by Playstation developers. Sport mode tunes the crowd noise to make you feel the energy of the field, while Music mode lets you hear the details of every song. News mode is designed for clear speech playback.
The HT-X8500 features a powerful built-in dual subwoofer in the center, allowing you to enjoy deep bass with minimal equipment that takes up little space.
With dimensions of only 890 x 64 x 96 mm, the HT-X8500 is slim, small, and discreet, complementing the aesthetics of the BRAVIA TV. Its distinctive design includes a perforated metal speaker grille and subwoofer ducts on both sides.
With the latest 4K HDR 18 Gbps signal pass-through specification and HDCP 2.2/HDCP 2.3, the HT-X8500 is designed for new home cinema formats such as Dolby Vision, HDR10, and Hybrid Log Gamma.
Connect a game console, a Blu-ray™ UHD player, or a set-top box, as well as the TV with HDMI and digital optical inputs.

With a Sony BRAVIA TV that supports Bluetooth® transmitter, you can wirelessly send audio to the soundbar.

As an average user who watches 1-2 movies a week, I am super satisfied. I connected it with an HDMI 2.1 cable to the ARC connection of the TV and now it opens/closes together with the TV from the TV remote. It connects easily with my phone and I listen to Spotify. For my needs, in combination with the price (black friday -> 209€) I consider it an excellent choice.
It is a beautiful construction, it is easily installed and connected to the TV. It has clear sound but lacks in bass!
It almost has no bass and you can notice it in movies.
I would prefer the Logitech Z 906 at the same price, which, although it has a large volume, cannot be compared!
I bought this specific soundbar mainly for movies, but I also tried it for music.
It connected via HDMI 2.1 certified cable from the HDMI 2.1 eARC port of the TV to the eARC port of the soundbar, where I tested it specifically in Dolby Atmos (I mention these for the reliability of the test) along with everything else. Now, for Dolby Atmos, it is definitely not pure surround, which is perfectly logical, but it does a pretty good job with nice, clear, and powerful sound. The bass from the woofer also does a great job. Surely, if it was separate, it would do a better job, but even as it is, it remains very powerful and satisfies me completely personally, so when it comes to movies, we're talking about a clear upgrade from the TV sound.
Also, for music, it is perfectly fine and very powerful in general. The volume at 30 is perfectly fine to loud enough to give you a good impression.
There is no screen to see what you're pressing, but from what I've seen, it's not a problem at all. If you press something, the LEDs it has light up, so you somehow know that what you wanted to happen has happened.
When playing Dolby Atmos or DTS, the corresponding indicators light up on their own, so you immediately recognize it.
Also, no problem with Bluetooth.
The connection was made with a Sony TV, and it is fast and trouble-free. I haven't noticed any issues so far in terms of connection. The TV I have is 55 inches, so the soundbar fits very well underneath and goes inwards.
The remote control is nothing special, but it does the job and has some presets that seem to work well.
I bought it for 219, so in this price range, there is nothing comparable with Dolby Atmos and eARC support. It's definitely worth it, especially considering the current prices
Positive
Very good product and reliable for progressive/house/techno music and movies.
Improved sound and subtitle acoustics during movie screenings.
The subwoofer enhances the bass when listening to music and streaming from Spotify (fair for 2.1 in small living rooms).
Significantly improved my experience when listening to music with a fuller sound and songs that have punch and low bass.
You can hear more instruments and sounds in a good performance (e.g. vinyl). Overall cleaner sound, but without needing to demolish the house, as it achieves good surround sound in a 35 sqm space and the wall doesn't crack (unlike self-amplified systems). You can be heard outside the door, but not at a level that the neighbor would notice!
Ideal for behind the TV.
Negative
The TV furniture needs to be wide or the TV needs to be over 55 inches for it to fit well underneath (at 50 inches, it barely fits on its legs).
Also, a major drawback is that the Bluetooth turns off after a while and you have to get up to reactivate the soundbar with the remote, as there are no indicators on the screen or continuous LED lights in the menu.
If you place it in front, the TV signal won't reach...if you place it in the back, you'll have to get up and turn on the soundbar when it turns off (a bit annoying). If you hang it, it's an ideal choice that solves the above two minor issues.
Overall, for its price, at half (250 euros) which I bought it, it is a very good choice for Dolby Atmos XP. It took me from a 5...to a 7-8.
Truly value for money soundbars, it plays all sound standards and is an ideal solution for someone who doesn't have enough space and doesn't want to deal with a subwoofer, etc. I have it on top of a Vero 4K+ on a 65-inch LG nanocell and it works perfectly. It would be good if your TV has an eARC HDMI port if you want to enjoy 4K movies with quality sound as it should be.
As a beginner user, I was quite satisfied. When connecting to devices that I use, such as my mobile phone, television, and record player, it is very easy, without even reading the instructions. Now, the sound quality is quite good for someone who wants to have a richer sound in the room than that of the television speakers. Now, I don't know if a more demanding user will be satisfied. I think they will need something more powerful. The other positive thing is that from the remote control, you can choose what use you want to make of it, whether you want to watch a movie, listen to music, increase the bass, or decrease it. For non-demanding users, it is the best.
I chose it first because the woman wanted something compact, an all-in-one solution.
Secondly, the soundbar supports decoding in new audio formats such as Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, as well as older formats like Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, Dolby Digital+, Dolby Digital, and DTS for the movies I watch on Netflix, from Blu-ray, and downloaded.
In terms of sound, the built-in subwoofer does a good job and provides the lows, as much as possible for such a soundbar. Also, the sound really makes a big difference compared to the TV speakers.
In terms of connectivity, it has one HDMI input, one HDMI output, one optical, and Bluetooth 5.
The HDMI output supports eARC, and both HDMI ports support Dolby Vision, HDR10, and HLG formats.
I connected it to the TV with an HDMI (ARC) cable to enjoy the best sound quality, rather than using Bluetooth because it is a inferior connection.
I consider it to be a very good value for money at the price of 249.
In this price range, there is no better soundbar that supports Dolby Atmos, full sound, and high quality
Verified purchase
Strong and quality bar for its price!
Holder of a day So far it seems good for something newer I will update
