Our take on the Sony HT-S400 2.1ch Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer

The Sony HT-S400 is a 2.1-channel soundbar with a wireless subwoofer and 330W of total output. It uses Sony's X-Balanced speaker driver and S-Force PRO Front Surround to widen the sound and lift dialogue, and HDMI ARC lets one cable handle TV audio. It is a simple, bass-forward upgrade for a TV's built-in speakers, but it has no HDMI passthrough, no upward-firing drivers and no real Dolby Atmos decoding despite the labeling. Owners rate it well for movie and TV sound; rivals at the same level offer more inputs and true object-based audio.

Questions and answers

Does the Sony HT-S400 support Dolby Atmos?
It is marketed with an Atmos label, but the bar has no upward-firing drivers and only two channels. It plays Atmos content as standard surround, not as height audio.
Can I connect a console or streamer directly to the soundbar?
No. The bar has only an HDMI ARC output, so devices must connect to the TV and the TV passes audio to the bar over ARC or optical.
Is the subwoofer truly wireless?
The subwoofer receives audio wirelessly but still needs its own power outlet. It pairs to the bar automatically.
How does it compare with the HT-S350?
The S400 adds the X-Balanced driver and a slightly different subwoofer for fuller sound. Both are 2.1 systems with HDMI ARC and Bluetooth, and neither has HDMI passthrough.
Can I wall-mount it?
Yes. The bar is 90 cm wide and supports wall mounting, and Sony provides the necessary hardware in the box.
Does it work with Alexa?
It supports Alexa voice control when paired with a compatible Alexa device. The bar itself has no built-in microphone.
Where is the Sony HT-S400 2.1ch Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer cheapest?
