Great small Theatre system, it makes a huge difference when watching from a laptop/on holiday!

small but powerful, great quality!

sony.com

Sony has knocked it out of the park with this latest device.  Portable surround sound is brilliant and immersive without being bulky or complicated.  This is great for anyone who loves to listen to movies and music with headphones but doesn't always want to use headphones.

The portability and simplicity allow you to easy enhance any outing or hotel stay during travel.

I can't wait to see how Sony continues to improve on this idea in the future!  I also wish there was a carrying case.

Portable and remarkable

Was interested in this for a long time. Sony could never get it back in stock until recently. In fact no one at the company could answer any questions about availability. The unit is well done and I enjoy the portability' of it.

Futuristic design

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first thing I found with this portable theatre system was that the whole unit is so small.  However, the sound from it is not and the quality of the sound is superb. It's hard to believe such high quality surround sound it is coming from such a compact unit. The unit is covered in an attractive light grey material which will fit in with just about any home décor. The design, build quality and appearance is up to Sony's usual high standard.
The operating controls are quite straight forward and are in the centre of the main speaker.  Slightly raised buttons enable you to switch the unit on and off and to allow ‘Bluetooth' pairing, skip tracks, control volume and select the 'Sound Field' mode. There is also buttons on the two small speakers to turn them on/off as and if required.  However, I found the easiest way to control the sound and other features while listening to music or watching TV is to scan the QR code on the Reference Guide and download the Home Entertainment App onto your Smart Phone.  Everything you may need to do is presented to you in the app in an easy to understand way.
There are no complicated installation process/s or lots of cables to sort out with the Sony HT-AX7. So it's also ideal for those of us who are getting on a bit in life!
You just switch on and connect it by ‘Bluetooth' to your source of choice. i.e. tablet, computer, smart phone or TV.  Position the speakers in your preferred position, select Sound Field and away you go.  I found the best position in my lounge for the speakers is to have the centre main speaker 1.5 metres in front centre and the two small (satellite) speakers 1.0 to 2.0 metres to my right and left side. I found it is best to control the volume of the speakers while sitting in the listening position to optimise the best surround sound experience created by Sony's 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology.
Now for the not so good point and there is only one as I see it. There is no adapter supplied to charge the Sony HT-AX7 batteries. All that is supplied is a USB C cable. Considering the selling price, I feel Sony should really have included a charging adapter with the unit. I had to borrow a 15-45W adapter from a neighbour to get me started because my own charger was not of a high enough wattage to charge the unit.  However, when charged Sony reckons the battery life will last at least 30 hours. I have used the HT-AX7 for over 25 hours so far and there still seems to be plenty charge left in the batteries. So I have no reason to dispute this.
Overall the Sony HT-AX7 is a great little bundle of pure joy. Easily transportable and so light it can be carried easily with one hand. It can be used in the garden or be carried in the car on outings or picnics. I plan to use it in my caravan when I am away from home on camping holidays. In my view a superb quality compact listening device from Sony.

Little Bundle Of Joy

Bought as a replacement for my tv soundbar and cannot fault this little fooker at all! The only thing that lets it down is that I got to keep charging it every week. But that's a minor sacrifice for the sound quality and amazing features this guy has. Also being made from recycled materials is a big plus for me

Great Bluetooth soundbar

Sony

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Firstly to the marketing packaging,Sony is a proven provider of quality products,the packaging leaves a bit to be desired.Opening the box you see a fairly large unit,which again is lacking any prominently visible identity,in my opinion, putting the SONY logo on the unit and seperate speakers would let the speaker stand out.
Again no charging plug is included,which I do expect on a product of this price.
User instructions are limited but downloading the AP is easy and user friendly
Using my Smart phone,I can activate the Speaker via the Music AP,or the Sony AP,the later giving you greater control of the speaker
The sound quality is excellent,and spending a few moment in positioning the unit and speakers enhances the music experience,also playing your music with the speaker attached to the unit also provides a good sound experience 
Overall a great product let down by its lack of visible identity

Great sound,needs more visible identity

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A long review! As is usual with all Sony products nowadays, this speaker arrives in a sturdy recyclable cardboard (rounded) box. Simple but stylish, and better for the planet. On removing this rather interesting but unusual looking oblong shaped speaker from the box, it feels dense and high quality in the hand and is covered in a light grey fabric. The speaker sits on a small dark grey permanently attached rubberised plinth. In the box is also a white USB-C cable measuring 1.5m, which is provided for charging the speaker via the ONLY port on the entire unit, which is situated on the rear of the unit on the base plinth. But Sony DO NOT provide any plug adaptor in the box. What's more, the plug adaptor has to be a high powered type (“PD”) capable of 15-45W of power. If your USB plug is not that powerful, the speaker unit will not charge and the orange charge light flashes/blinks. As I found out by personal experience! With a suitably powerful plug adaptor, you get a steady orange charge light which goes out when fully charged. The speaker unit takes around 4 hours to fully charge, and once fully charged the battery lasts for about 30 hours of playback which on my testing seems very accurate. Even a short 10 minute charge can provide 2.5 hours of playback which is pretty impressive.
The speaker measures 31cm (w) x 12cm (d), and 13cm (h) with the 2 detachable speakers attached or just 9.5cm high when they are not sitting on top of the unit. The whole speaker set up weighs 2kg, so fairly hefty for a compact Bluetooth speaker unit. Each of the 2 satellite speakers measure 12cm in diameter and 3.5cm tall and weigh just 300g, so easy to pick up and move around as needed. On top of the main unit is the central control panel which has a rubberised finish but with very precisely clickable buttons to power the unit On or Off, or activate Bluetooth for pairing, adjust the volume with + or - buttons or affect the sound field. As soon as the unit was turned On, for the very first time, (the unit arrived with plenty of battery charge), it was in Bluetooth pairing mode, and took just a few seconds to pair with my iPhone. I was playing music from my smart phone via the speaker in about 15 seconds. Very simple paring indeed! The unit can connect to many devices but only 2 at the same time. On turning the speaker On, it automatically connects to the last device it was connected to if within range. You can swap between devices by briefly pressing the Play button on the main unit or via the app. (More on the app in a moment). When connected to your smart phone you can activate your voice assistant, (Siri, in my case) by pressing and holding the unit's Play button. 
The 2 satellite speakers are magnetically held in place pretty strongly. I could hold the unit on its side or even upside down and the speakers held firm and even continued to play music! The speakers also charge via these magnetic areas when sitting on top of the unit. When charging, a small orange lamp glows beneath each speaker to indicate that they are on charge, and these lights extinguish when they are fully charged. The main unit does not need to be plugged in for the satellite speakers to fully charge,which can take 4.5 hours (compared to 4 hours for the main unit). Be aware that the main unit has only 2 front facing/firing speakers and 2 mainly side firing speakers so there are NO REAR speakers. The 2 detachable satellite speakers are only upwards firing.
Sound Quality: The HT-AX7 provides a typically warm Sony sound but I found the mid tones a touch muffled lacking clear separation. And the main unit overall lacking decent base. But high mids and trebles were very good. Not bad for a smallish speaker but nowhere near as bass heavy as Sony's own XG300 Bluetooth speaker which I also own.
Now for the important part: Setting up the new HOME ENTERTAINMENT CONNECT APP. I had initially tried in vain to connect this Bluetooth speaker with my Sony “Music Centre” app which links to my XG300 speaker but it just would not connect. The HT-AX7 has to be connected with the new “HEC” app which is more for their TV and Soundbar products. A touch confusing! Once connected you have full control over the speaker unit and the satellite speakers. Up to this point, I thought that the satellite speakers were too weak, difficult to hear and disappointingly “tinny” sounding. “Low-fi” not “Hi-Fi!”
But in the app, I could see that by default, they were set to Level 1 for both Volume and Bass. Once set to “Max” (Level 10), the whole sound field improved massively. Now I could really hear them! 
Initially I tried them with some Sony “360 Spatial Sound” demos on YouTube and then started watching films on my iPhone and iPad. Really impressive! It is best to place the main unit speaker, for example, on your bed, near your feet, and the satellite speakers either side of you on a bedside table and pillow. This seems wrong at first as the speakers may be sitting “wonkily” but the immersive sound field is incredible. Who needs a massive TV and a large 5.1 or more surround speaker setup when you can have this “bubble” of immersive sound produced around you wherever you consume your media and within a much smaller area? As we all increasingly consume media on our phones and tablets, I feel Sony may be on to a winner here! So I went from being initially unimpressed on initial set up (is this too niche of a product?) to realising that this could be the future of personal audio and film watching! I did not detect ANY lag either when watching films. Max volume on the main unit goes up to Level 50, but I found Levels 35-45 best. You have very precise control over the volume via the main unit or the app. There is also a dimmer switch to turn down the unit's or speaker lights or turn them off completely. Nice touch Sony! You can also improve or change the bass and sound quality by varying the distance the speaker sits from a back wall for example or side units. The battery lasted a good 7 days of heavy use, using it as a music speaker and whilst watching films.
Downsides: This is only a Bluetooth speaker. No USB-A socket,(on UK or Euro models),No AirPlay, no headphone socket. No Line-In or Out. No Wi-Fi. And rather sadly no HDMI socket. If it had the latter, it would make an ideal kitchen or bedroom TV home cinema speaker with instant surround sound without the clutter or speaker cables. Or it would just improve the sound of a typically thin sounding LED TV instantly. You can probably connect this speaker to your TV via Bluetooth if your TV can do this, but that is not ideal. 
Improvements: A carry handle would be nice. This speaker is designed to be moved about the place from desk to bed or lounge depending on where you are watching your media but you have to grab this hefty speaker with one or two hands to do so.
Improve the Connectivity with HDMI for example. A Headphone socket would be nice!
A dimmable digital clock behind the fabric would make it much more versatile as a bedroom or kitchen speaker. Add in a DAB radio?
Sound quality could be improved. A touch more clarity and separation in the mid tones and improving the bass response, which leads on to…
Make the main unit and the satellite speakers a touch bigger to make the sound field even more immersive. May be in the Gen. 2 version!

A surprising delight of Sony product design.

I got carried away with the prospect of cinema sound after recently buying a Sony Bravia 5 TV, however this lot is way over priced for what it is and the battery doesn't last nearly as long as they would have you believe. If you want a portable speaker there are much cheaper options out there, and if you want cinema sound for watching movies then get the real deal. Don't waste good money on this.

I wish I hadn't bothered.

Hi,
I'm having a problem  Bluetooth on my samsung tv

HT-AX7

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an interesting product. It's not a soundbar, its not a true surround system, its a bit big to travel with, the surround speakers lack volume and definitionand & I'm struggling to identify the market. So, negatives aside, Sony have continued their great approch to renewable packaging. The product feels well built and easy to use. The compatible app is good and easy to use. Once set up, there is a reasonably good immersive experience from 2 channel sources but not that impressive if I'm 100% honest. Great ease of use. I'm just stuck with the impression of 'why?', but that is me just saying I couldnt find a use for it but I'm sure many would. It does what it does reasonably well but I dont think it offers a huge amount (for me).

An ineresting but very niche product
