Sony BRAVIA Theatre U – Dolby Atmos® neckband speaker, Wireless, Bluetooth®, Multi-pair connection, PS5 gaming function, 360 Spatial Sound Personaliser, 12h Battery, HT-AN7

Really expensive! But the quality is there when it comes to sound reproduction for what is essentially headphones. I did not notice any lag when using these to watch films and tv which is a plus over cheaper neck speakers I had tried. I bought this to use with my projector as I am finding it more and more difficult to hear voices in movies and on TV without having to crank up the sound due to noisy teens next door. I had started using headphones but did not like being so isolated from other sounds in the house I want to hear such as the doorbell or microwave going off. So I bought these on a mad whim and decided not to look too closely at the price! The sound is pretty good but remember these are still tiny little speakers so while there is plenty of bass it lacks real depth, being louder rather than deeper to try and get the bass effect. Having said that bass wise these beat cheaper neck speakers I have tried by miles. As far as the surround sound effect goes it is negligible. There is a very clear stereo difference as you’d expect with a headphone like product. But the whole in front/behind is pretty minimal from my experience in the same way it is for my Sony headphones. Wearing them is OK on a chair or sofa but don’t start ‘lounging’ in them or using a recliner as they are only resting on your shoulders and slip back, or off completely. They could almost use an optional front strap to pull the front together and stop the movement. I have ended up using a strip of fabric and stick on velcro to make the neck fit a bit more secure I do have quite a wide neck however. All in all I am pretty pleased with this product although I can’t help but feel the full price is a bit to high

I love these shoulder speakers! For health reasons, I can not wear any kind of headphones that are near to my ears, in my ears or bone headphones. So, when I saw the Sony Bravia Theatre U shoulder speakers I had to get them. And I am very glad I did. They rest just below the actual shoulders, just below them. Sitting nicely and comfortably. I can hear very well. The volume up and down buttons are easy to access. Good value for the cost but not cheap. A purchase to think about. But you get what you pay for. For me they are excellent. Without these speakers I had to have radio and tv volumes up. (I really think my neighbours are grateful for my purchasing them as they can now hear their own radios/tvs, not mine.)

Good build quality,sounds great for movies no lags (little cravings for bass ) but good surroundings even in stereo, battery life good

Great sound for use with Sony TVs with Bluetooth facility. We have 2 and ideal for listening to films and indeed all programmes. .Dialogue is exceptionally clear and every small detail can be heard clearly. We have an expensive sound system but the theatre u sound is brilliant. Can be used for hands free phone calls again with excellent sound. Great for listening to music via our phones or IPads. Nicer than wearing ear buds or over the ear headphones. Sound very directional so barely audible to others( if at all) in the room. With the associated Sony Sound Connect app sound can be modified with an equaliser or there are several preset modes. An excellent buy for us.

I like it but does not sinc with my £1700 sony XR tv speakers, disapointed

You will need a compatible sony XR tv to really get the most out of these but its not a must as you can still appreciate good clarity. Just the 3d sound option on sony tvs offers a little more immersion for dolby atmos based movies etc. I do have a sony xr and the 3D surround is great. If you have an XR tv from the last 2 years and not one of the most recent ones you will need the WLA-NS7 adapter to appreciate the 3d sound on your XR tv but will work just as well as the newer XR tvs which just uses the inbuilt bluetooth. I also use it with my ps5 and gives off amazing 3d audio with no delay. Just plug it in to the end of your ps5 controller and you will experience the tempest 3d audio of the ps5 too. It's actually more "3d" than headphones since it feels more spaced out from my experience. and the sounds feel like they are coming from different areas more accurately. Definitely worth it if you appreciate good sound clarity while not having to worry about headphone fatigue.

Doesn't work. Can hear through tv and headset when sitting with person using them. Sound has a delay not fit for purpose or worth the money

Wow.!! I say this based on listening to 3D on YouTube music videos such as Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody or Dire Straits Brothers in Arms videos and many more .Absolutely stunning music quality firing from all the speakers …and this wrapped around your neck so your completely emerged in your head to the sound……better than my B+w headphones for this although probably not better in absolute listening terms especially for music…and I can still hear what’s going on around me so a win win win…..also very good with movies where you can definitely here the effects even without a Sony Bravia TV which they recommend for ultimate surround sound…not quite Dolby atoms on these with my set up. Overall I think this is a brilliant bit of kit that is the middle ground of not disturbing others with loud noise and not being totally distracted whilst wearing headphones…..well done Sony,!
