”The Sony HT-G700 is an accomplished soundbar, and it delivers an excellent 3.1-channel performance thanks to decent speakers, powerful amplification and a well-integrated subwoofer.” ’AV Forums’ – Recommended.
Dolby Atmos and DTS:X compatible for uplifting sound
Using Sony’s VSE (Vertical Surround Engine), the HT-G700 reproduces ‘vertical’ audio to give truly uplifting, Dolby Atmos sound. Combine VSE with Virtual DTS:X and you get DTS:X compatibility, too. Both systems deliver a sound with a true feeling of height – putting you right in the centre of a jungle or beneath screaming warplanes.
Upscale to 7.1.2 for enveloping sound
Whether you’re enjoying a movie, gaming or just watching TV, the HT-G700 lets you experience a more immersive sound through Immersive AE (Audio Enhancement). At the touch of a button, Sony’s advanced signal processing converts any audio signal into a pseudo 7.1.2 channel signal – totally surrounding you with expansive audio.
Dedicated centre channel for crystal-clear dialogue
This 3.1 channel Sony soundbar features a dedicated centre speaker for the crispest, clearest dialogue. The addition of a centre speaker not only makes the dialogue easier to hear but also locates the sound firmly to the image on the screen – making the sync between the two much more harmonious.
Powerful bass from a wireless subwoofer
The separate subwoofer frees up the soundbar from the compromise of doing two jobs at once. Instead, it remains dedicated to the task of producing a holographic, 3D sound, leaving the subwoofer free to provide deep, cinema-like bass. What's more, with it being a wireless subwoofer you're free to position it anywhere within the room without the hassle of a connection wire between it and the soundbar.
Sound modes tailored to your viewing
It's easy to get just the right balance, at the touch of a button, with Sound Mode. ‘Cinema’ gives a powerful, dynamic sound that delivers all the thrills of the multiplex. For listening to your favourite tunes, ‘Music’ mode brings out all the detail for the most lifelike sound. ‘Standard’ gives the most neutral sound or switch to ‘Auto Sound’ for the processor to decide the best setting.
HDR10, Dolby Vision and HLG compatible HDMI interface
Fitted with one HDMI input and one eARC (enhanced Audio Return Channel) HDMI output, the soundbar is ideal for connecting a UHD Blu-ray player or games console. The HDMI sockets are compatible with HDR10, Dolby Vision and HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) formats, meaning that the latest UHD formats are all covered. Other inputs include an optical digital input and USB for your music sources.
Stream your music with wireless Bluetooth
More than just a boost for your TV sound, the Sony HT-G700 soundbar also makes a handy Bluetooth speaker for your music. Pair with your smartphone, tablet or computer stream all your stored music and favourite streaming services such as Spotify, Deezer and Apple Music - without the need for any wires.
Experience cinematic sound, without all the boxes, with the Sony HT-G700.

Update on previous review 3/1/24 by Albanylad
Having received a reply from Sony, I have now updated the firmware and am now using my new HDMI cable and the difference is fantastic, I no longer turn off the soundbar to use TV speakers, only watched a couple of films and started a few TV Series but I can now hear dialogue great and am very happy with my purchase. I would however suggest that with this being Bluetooth enabled re the subwoofer, it is a shame the soundbar cannot update itself in the same way the TV does but I suppose that this is at the cheaper end of the market and you get what you pay for

Not the best would look for a upgrade
This would not be my 1st choice, I have tried all different settings and can barely hear what people are saying during films or TV dramas etc. background noise or music or sound effects drowned out any dialogue. Music is quite good and sound effects on films are good but at the expense of dialogue. Also for some inexplicable reason, it is temperamental. It does not always work, over Christmas, it would not work at all and I could not find any fault, so I ordered a new HDMI cable. Still, before it arrived on the day after Boxing Day it started working again, I have no idea why, I never touched it at all but because I enjoyed the TV over Christmas without the sound bar I decided to unplug it and use the superior TV sound system. Which is a Sony Bravia I have been disappointed with this because I use a lot of Sony products and they are usually excellent.

Excellent product
Purchased to go with Sony Bravia TV. Simple to connect. Different setting enabled me to get the sound I wanted. Synchronisation with the TV was good.
