Great Soundbar with a ton of extras
This fit our need exactly. The low profile of the Soundbar is a big improvement over Sonys prior lineup (ct660, ct260). The height is right around 2 inches compared to the older versions that were about 4. This works great because it doesn't interfere with your screen if you set it up on a stand.
We use this Soundbar in a family room and its plenty powerful for everyday use. Sound is great!!!!!!
Setup was simple. The Soundbar has 3 HDMI inputs! This product integrates very well with our Sony TV. Not sure how it would work with a non Sony or older TV. When the TV is turned on it automatically turns on the Soundbar and switches from TV speakers to the Soundbar. You can then control the volume with your Time Warner remote (assuming your TV is programmed)
Overall this is a great value for $350. There are many cheaper Soundbars out there. I haven't found one that matches all Sony has to offer. Multiple HDMI ports, great sound from a low profile system,...
Decided between Sonos Playbar, Vizio 4251, and older Sony units (bought the 370H)
***Updated July 2014***
After a few months with this sound bar I noticed a deficiency in the available I/O options. Specifically, there is no headphone "out" jack. If you are using this in a bedroom scenario and want to hook up a pair of wireless headphones you are left with rather ugly external add-ons as your only recourse. Not a deal breaker and I would have still selected it over the other options, but it definitely is annoying for a device firmly targeted at "second room" viewing to miss this feature.
I was shopping for a soundbar to give me better sound quality on my secondary TV (bedroom). I picked the Sony 370H over the Vizio 2451 (5.1 w/ wireless sub), Sonos Playbar, dedicated 5.1 system, and older Sony units on sale.
My buying criteria: (in order of importance)
-Good sound for a 10' x 10' room
-Able to handle my current setup (cable box, Apple TV, and Xbox)
-Ability to mount on the wall
-Minimal wiring hassle

Great Sound Bar - Better than expected!
We were shopping for a sound bar with good sound but at a reasonable price and this was recommended to us. It surpassed my expectations. It was easy as could be to set up. The profile is low so it fit perfectly in our TV stand which has a long shelf that seems made for a sound bar. The sound is awesome with very good bass. There is also a Voice feature which enhances voices on movies, TV, etc. The remote was easy to figure out and i like that you can control the volume of the sub woofer from the remote.
I was also able to stream music from my iPad and an Android phone with no trouble at all. We don't have a Sony TV, but it works great with Samsung TVs. This sound bar hadn't been out long when we bought it so I had trouble finding any reviews at all on it, but decided to take the chance. I'm glad we did. It more than suited our needs.
