Home Theatre Sony HT-AX7 Portable - Γκρί

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

Great sound & Good battery Backup, Good shape, Best mobile app

I really like this little system. It arrived well packaged. Once out of the box it look very smart and classy. It has the typical Sony quality feel and finish. Setting up I found straightforward. Download the Home Entertainment Connect app from the Play Store and the instructions are very easy to follow. Once set up I connected it to a Sony KD 65XH9505 TV via bluetooth. Where I have this TV I' m a bit restricted regarding a home theatre system and this one really works well in my set up. You can have the satellite speakers postioned behind you to get the 360 Sound Field. I tried this on Star Wars and then Picard. I had to turn the volume up to hear the effect but was impressed when I did so. I also tried it with the sound field off using music videos on Youtube. Say She She 'Astral Plane' sounded good with the bass mid and treble coming through well. You can postion the satellite speakers around the room to spread the music. Perfect for parties. Initially I was struggling to think of where you could use this but then realised this is perfect for my campervan. Connect to the tablet and stream a film or tv show but instead of awful sound from the tablet you get to have a mini home theatre experience. Yes there is a little bit of compromise but I think overall it works well and is a little gem. Well done Sony

SONY HT-AH7 2.1 Portable Theatre System - Light Grey has great sound 2 detachable speakers 360 Spatial Sound Mapping up to 30 hours battery life and Bluetooth. You can move to any room and on holiday.

At a whisper under two kilos this rather unique Sony Sound Theatre system is just about portable. Hopes are high that upcoming trips abroad will validate this proposition. There is no charging device included, just a long USB-C cable, but this is not a problem with USB-C so common. However, when charging to get those 30 hours of play you will need a 15W to 45W charger or the orange indicator light next to the rear port will flash telling you it’s too much or not enough juice. Solid orange is good. Apparently just a 10-minute charge will give me two hours of play, but I haven’t run it down yet to find that out! It oozes quality, light grey woven material for both the central unit and satellite speakers, cased in a smooth darker grey hard rubber surround that’s solid and houses the encased top controls on the central unit: power, Bluetooth pairing, play / pause, volume, and Sound Field. I might have liked black myself, but the grey theme contrasts the detail and quality of the three units. There are funky left and right circular magnetic charging ports for the satellite speakers - they don’t have their own separate means of charging. They are clearly labelled L and R, the small speakers to sit and connect easily and at any orientation, with reassuring orange charging lights on the central unit. Upon removal of the satellite speakers the Sound Field will come into play, place them behind you or to the side and away you go, you have your own sound bubble of surround sound: incredibly simple and quick to get going. There are separate power buttons on the satellite speakers, maybe to minimise accidental connections when packed separately in my suitcase me thinks… I had no problems in setting up the Theatre System with my phone, and key to this is the Sony Home Entertainment app, so download it first. The system holds a dormant Bluetooth connection that allows you (when the setting is checked) to power on the Theatre System from the app, which is likeable in a very lazy way. I also really like the fact you can have two devices connected at one time, so while watching a film on a tablet you can take a phone call, the film pauses and I’m able to take the call using the hidden microphone of the main unit seamlessly. The app itself runs the show, there is sadly no remote, although there are the controls on the main unit. Within the app, Night mode extenuates the sound field effects at low volumes, you can toggle the Sound Field, change the volume, the rear speaker volume, and the bass. Summary This is, as I said, a unique proposal, and I wouldn’t see it in any way as a replacement for TV surround system, but take it to where you want, a holiday room / bedroom for something immersive and personal. I am very impressed with the quality of sound in general: films on a tablet with surround sound are great, giving a great excuse to snuggle up in bed together with a flick! It also seems to manage music in a pseudo surround sound fashion, and even with the speakers further away than recommended spacing from the central unit. With little to no distortion, the bass and front speakers of the main unit work with real clarity, and a little Bluetooth magic, with the two rear speakers incredibly well, and all together is far loud enough at the max for that private experience that this system is clearly aiming for.

Sony HT-AX7 My Sony package arrived just before I departed for a week away and so I was excited to see the contents of the mysterious cardboard capsule when I returned. Once again Sony has provided a creative and effective green packing solution. All the parts were well protected. Assembly took no time at all and although a charger was not provided the USC cable was easy to connect to an existing charger, I had sitting on my study table. Whilst the unit was charging, I took the opportunity to add the two recommended apps to my smart phone, Sony Home Entertainment and Support by Sony. All the information you need to set up and use the HT-AX7 is readily accessible. Set up was no trouble at all. Our main TV in the lounge is quite old and although HD capable there are no Bluetooth connections available and so I first connected the unit to my smart phone. Wow, such a precise sound even at high volume levels. My regular listening partner is Sony’s WH-1000XM5 headset and so my standards are very high. I would say there is little difference between the two’s delivery of quality sound. The benefit of the HT-AX7 is that you get the sound to surround your whole body rather than just your ears. Remember hearing is not just through your ears. Fortunately for me I have a Sony Vaio/TV desk-top pc (SVL24131E) on which I can access the internet and view on a 24” HD monitor which includes a Blue ray disc player and a direct digital TV aerial input. Effectively a simple Smart TV and so I am now experimenting watching my favourite CDs, TV programmes including my favourite Netflix productions and streamed music. This fully portable theatre system can be used anywhere in the house optimising the battery powered Blue tooth wireless connections. The Sony 360-degree spatial sound mapping provides the promised immersive experience promised. The units neutral finish and form will fit in any interior and is easily portable. Sony have given me a real dilemma, full blown theatre 360-degree sound or up close and personal head sound. I am looking forward to the challenge and after only a short time I fully recommend the HT-AX7 although the quality and flexibility comes with the predictable price tag.

The Sony HT-AX7 is compact and looks very contemporary, it feels and looks well made. The removable surround speakers are extremely cool and can be sat back into place easily with a satisfying magnetic click. There is an app of course that Sony provide which is a straight forward control panel to adjust volume, balance and advice on how to set up.Through Bluetooth it can be connected to your television, tablet or mobile phone. The HT-AX7 provides an extra dimension to you viewing pleasure. I connected it to my television and watched a film and a few of my favourite shows. I was impressed on how different it sounded. The only downside is that it didn't come with its own charger only the lead.

Excellent portable sound system , product arrived in recylable packaging which was good , Speaker build quality is superb , soft base on main unit and top speakers which will not scratch when placed on surfaces also the colour of the unit was a good choice as it can blend in with any colour of decor . Very easy to set up and connect to any bluetooth device whilst using the Home entertainment app . Bluetooth connection has never failed to connect or cut off from the devices I use and the range of Bluetooth is excellent . Sound quality is great just using as a bluetooth speaker with speakers on top , but when using the top speakers for 360 spatial sound this is when the unit really performs at it it best , you have to play around with the placement of the 2 top speakers to get best results from the speaker units. Did not know what to expect with this portable speaker system , but was very surprised with using the sound field , the music coming through the top speakers that was placed behind mye was very clear and the music was sound was excellent it was coming from the front and behind me and when I first used it I got a shock when the music played that I turned around to look at the speakers, very impressed with the sound field on this portable sony theatre spatial speaker . Also what I think is just superb with this speaker you can put the top speakers in different rooms away from the main unit and it plays music through the house with no drop out from the main unit , to myself its a big plus for me . Overall this a great way to listen to music and works very well watching videos , but using the 360 theatre with the spatial enhances the overall performance .

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).

The 360 Portable Spatial Sound Mapping from Sony (HT-AX7) arrived to my home and it feels quite light. Opening the box, there it is the HT-AX7 in a compact semi-egg like shape white plastic container. Taking out the unit , base and two satellite speakers in light grey colour is compact and with elegant finish. The unit is simple and minimalistic with a base unit that holds both circle satellites speakers at the top and on the back of the base the USB-c port is the only input to the USB-c charge cable. The device is immediately recognized by Bluetooth enabled devices when the unit is switch. From my android phone play some of my favourites tunes the experience of 3D sound is refreshing. It gives the impression that satellites speakers are very low in sound emission when compared with the front based but they are engaged and sound effects are noticeable making the experience pleasant and unique. With the Android app sound can be adjusted for satellites and base. It also allows to vary amount of bass modulated for front sound emitter adjusting sound experience according to the music or theme in reproduction. Enable the unit also as a sound output for my TV and experience some of my favourite movies some streaming over the internet and some using my Blu-ray disk player and for the latter the experience of sound is more immersive and realistic. The Sony HT-AX7 for music is superb and the sound ambient for live concerts is unique, allowing to experience the Reading and Leeds Music festival streamed live by BBC in a contained person-centered sound ambient making the listening experience completely new. . Because of its portability also explore the 3D sound mapping while browsing or working in the computer with some music in the background emitted by the Sony HT-AX7. The good looks and sound quality brings a new way to the regular computer sessions. A minor point that maybe Sony should consider is to make the surfaces of the satellite speakers with a material that can be clean or wipe as the sides have the same clothe like cover though I am not sure if the side of the satellites also release sound and is a key of the 3D sound mapping effects. Overall the Sony HT-AX7 brings sound to a new experience level in a compact, elegant and portable unit.
