This is a high-end soundbar featuring 360 Spatial Sound Mapping, Dolby Atmos, IMAX Enhanced support, and multiple up-firing and side-firing drivers. It packs nine speaker units, including up-firing and side-firing speakers along with four passive radiators, enabling expansive surround sound and enhanced height effects. It appears to be a strong pick for users who want rich, room-filling sound without going full modular. Also, for those with older soundbars, the Bar 7 offers significant advancements in spatial audio.
BRAVIA Theatre Bar 5
Price – Rs 37,990, Best buy – Rs 29,990
Availability – August 18th onwards
The BRAVIA Theatre Bar is the more accessible option over the Theatre Bar 7, which is a 3.1-channel soundbar with a wireless subwoofer. It brings Dolby Atmos and useful features like Voice Zoom, making it a solid entry point into Sony’s premium audio ecosystem. Just like its premium counterparts, the soundbar gains support for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X for an immersive sound experience.
BRAVIA Theatre Sub 9
Price – Rs 94,990, Best buy – Rs 79,990
Availability – August 3rd onwards
The BRAVIA Theatre Sub 9 is a premium wireless subwoofer built to deliver deep, powerful bass. With a 600W amplifier, dual opposing drivers, and vibration-cancelling technology, it produces clean, punchy low-end that brings movies, music, and games to life without unwanted distortion. It also features an aluminium driver for better accuracy and pairs effortlessly with other BRAVIA Theatre components via the BRAVIA Connect app for easy setup.
BRAVIA Theatre Sub 8
Price – Rs 42,990, Best buy – Rs 34,990
Availability – August 3rd onwards
The BRAVIA Theatre Sub 8 is designed to deliver deep, rich bass with excellent clarity. It packs a 300W amplifier and uses a dual-driver setup with an aluminium unit for clean, distortion-free low-end performance. Just like the Sub 9, it connects with compatible BRAVIA TVs via Direct Connect and the BRAVIA Connect app, making setup quick and easy. It’s suitable for all kinds of entertainment, be it movies, sports, or gaming, the Sub 8 adds that satisfying, room-filling bass that makes everything sound more cinematic.
BRAVIA Theatre Rear 9 and Rear 8
The BRAVIA Theatre Rear 9 priced at Rs 74,990 is designed with the same elegant philosophy as the BRAVIA Theatre Trio to create a more immersive surround sound experience. It features large up-firing drivers and high-quality aluminium units for rich spatial audio. Its sleek, compact design blends nicely into modern living rooms, while the wireless connectivity and swivel wall-mount bracket give you flexible placement options.
On the other hand, the Rear 8 costs significantly less (Rs 44,990) than the Rear 9 and accordingly offers a decent home theatre experience that delivers enhanced surround sound with greater immersion and flexibility. Both devices will be available starting July 1st.
BRAVIA Direct Connect
BRAVIA Direct Connect is a feature that allows compatible BRAVIA televisions to connect directly with BRAVIA Theatre Subwoofers and Rear Speakers without requiring a soundbar. This provides customers with greater flexibility to enhance bass performance, expand surround sound, or gradually build a home theatre system based on their preferences and budget. With support for multiple configurations, including TV + subwoofer, TV + rear speakers and TV + Subwoofer + Rear Speakers.
With the new BRAVIA releases, Sony is aiming at users who want a refined, expandable home theatre system rather than just another speaker. The pricing feels premium, which is to be expected, but the effective “Best Buy” prices are quite attractive, especially for the Trio and Bar 7. The modular approach with easy Direct Connect is a smart move that should appeal to both new buyers and those looking to upgrade their existing BRAVIA setups.
