Does the sound from this chair sound good when not sitting in it? Wondering if I need a soundbar or just this chair

I think it sounds alright but it's not very big.. my husband is 5'11" and it is kind of small for him, but I am 5'1" and it's a perfect fit for me even though I don't play games.

The sound bar has an rca out to add extra accessories that require a signal....even another bar. The audio is ok...for the size of the bar it's good...Not to be fooled by systems that offer a separate woofer for those low notes. It seems to boost the 50-60hz range to make up for the lack of lows.

I owned the playbar about 9 months before buying the sub. Stand alone playbar sounds good with the lows but very good with higher frequencies. IMO, adding a sub brings the low frequency to a very good level as well. Surprisingly I notice the improved lows more with movies / TV than music.

Hi This is a powered soundbar...it has all of the speakers inside. You may want to get a dedicated center channel if you already have left and right speakers. This is perfect if you currently have no speakers and want to upgrade the sound of your Tv.

The sound is actually pretty good, but I'm still getting a sound bar and wireless base. Since this is a Sony system, can anyone give me Sony model numbers that they like the best and why? My TV is the 550 70". Thanks.

It's noisy. high pitch sound, but not unbearable. It's noticeable for sure, so try to place it far away from where you'll be sitting.

The sound is pretty good. I first used the built-in speakers and they put out decent sound. I ended up getting a sound bar and have it tied in via HDMI. I can't say it's theater quality, but I didn't spend a lot for my sound bar either. All-in-all I enjoy it and the sound from the PS3 games can shake the house a little. Hope that helps.

That's not true on mine atleast. I think mine are on the top in front of the screen behind the keyboard and they are loud. When playing video games my friends ask me to turn it down and the sound quality is excellent, though by the sound I would say no bass or built in woofer. If you want the full spectrum sound like someone else said you may want speakers, but for everyday use it's fine. I have noticed no difference in tabletop versus lap, etc.

Sound bars are a waste of money unless you are spending over a grand and in that case, get a full blown surround system instead. This TV doesn't sound great but a sound bar won't improve anything. Trust me. I've tried many of them.

I have no problem with the sound. The speakers are like any other tv speakers. If you're expecting room jarring surround-like sound speakers to each side or a sound bar would solve any problem. Just FYI, I have a 65" Vizio in the living room. I purchased a factory refurbished Vizio soundbar from Walmart online (saved a lot!), but usually it is turned off---UNLESS I'm watching an action movie and want to feel like I'm in the middle of the action. Hope this helps. Hope it wasn't TMI. Would be interested in what you decide.

It makes no noise at all, although we just got it. It doesn't seem like it will make sound. Very solid chair with a 'silent glide' now anyway. You can try out similar models at Babies R Us, if you want to sit it one yourself. Just don't buy it there b/c a custom color will take 3+ mos and will be a few hundred $$ more.

In my opinion, yes. The main problem is the speakers fire downward. If the TV is sitting on a reflective surface, it magnifies the problem which I would describe as as weak or hollow sound. Sibilance is also exaggerated. Maybe you should try it yourself and if you're not pleased,you can always add a soundbar. The picture is quite good.

I agree with everything already said. One negative with my sound bar is that the sound is somewhat muffled at low volumes. As the volume is increased, the sound is wonderful.

Yeah, the optical input connection is really weak at the soundbar. Sound cuts out intermittently. I ended up using the analog connection (the difference is negligible with these cheapo soundbars).

There are built in speakers. They sound ok, but I would recommend a sound bar.

The sound is not great. The speakers are in the back and sound a bit muffled. You can raise the volume loud enough but some programs sound hollow. I would recommend getting a soundbar. The tv is great!!!

I stongly recommend a sound bar. The sound from the TV is quite inferior. It made a huge difference for me. I bought both TV and the sound bar here.
