Great discount: Sony HT-S2000 with Dolby Atmos discounted by almost 2.5 thousand

Last Black Friday, we wrote about the Sony HT-S2000 for 5 990 Kč. Then the price climbed back to seven to eight and a half thousand, and now it’s back where it was. On Alza, the soundbar costs 5 990 Kč, and the discount from the previous 8 459 Kč is real, according to Hlídač shopů.

Quick summary:
✅ For whom: anyone whose TV dialogues are getting lost and doesn’t want to run cables to rear speakers.
⚠️ Does not have Wi-Fi, AirPlay, or Chromecast; music can only be sent via Bluetooth – the Wi-Fi information in Alza’s description is incorrect.
💡 5 990 Kč, same as last Black Friday.

Cinema from a six-centimeter high bar

The HT-S2000 has three front channels – left, right, and center, which carries dialogues – and a built-in subwoofer. In total, it features five speakers with a power output of 250 W. The bar is 80 cm wide and only 6.4 cm high, so it doesn’t obscure the picture when placed under the TV.

It supports Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, but it doesn’t have upward-firing speakers. The Vertical Sound Engine processor calculates height effects, and according to reviews, it works surprisingly well. For late evenings, there’s a night mode that mutes explosions, and a voice enhancement mode is also included.

One cable and done

It connects to the TV with a single HDMI cable via eARC, and you can then control the volume with your regular TV remote. There’s also an optical input, but Atmos and TV remote control won’t work through it. Later, you can expand the soundbar with Sony SA-RS3S wireless rear speakers. Alza provides a 4-year warranty on it.

Wi-Fi is in the description, not in the soundbar

Alza lists Wi-Fi for the soundbar, but customers in reviews point out that it doesn’t have it. So, you can only send music from your phone via Bluetooth 5.2 and Spotify Connect; don’t expect AirPlay or voice assistants.

On Alza, it has a rating of 4.4 out of 5 from 68 customers. They praise its easy setup, clear dialogues, and good cooperation with Sony TVs. Criticisms mainly target the bass, which could be stronger in a larger room.

For a smaller living room with Netflix

For 5 990 Kč, you get significantly clearer dialogues and a wider sound than what thin TV speakers can deliver, all without cables around the room. The Sony HT-S2000 now costs 5 990 Kč on Alza. For a large living room, or if you prefer powerful bass, a setup with a separate subwoofer is more suitable.

Will you buy a soundbar for your TV, or is its own sound enough for you?
