what is the sound quality like on the sonykdl50r550a. is sound enhancer necessary

My opinion after recently purchasing this television is that some sort of sound enhancer (i.e., external speakers, receiver) is probably necessary. I find myself turning the volume nearing to maximum in order to hear shows and movies. I've owned other Sony televisions and had a similar experience. Great television overall but sound quality is not quite there. Hope you find this helpful.

The sound quality is not bad for a TV. It certainly does not sound like a home theater system -- if that is the quality you are looking for, then you should get a separate home theater system. The TV itself is pretty good.

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.

Well, I actually purchased this tv for my parents. My dad said the sound is much better than the Samsung tv they had before. I can say that i will probably purchase the 32" tv, same series for myself. I am totally impressed with what i have seen and heard. People say Samsung, i disagree, SONY BRAVIA will and should be number one.

for a tv this nice, you really want to invest a few hundred bucks on a mid-range sony home theater system.

The sound quality is good but I've always had it hooked up to a Sony surround system. Sounds amazing. I recommend you do that. Great tv

The sound out of the box is acceptable. Two down firing speakers with no bass at all. Under the sound settings I turned on "Surround" and "Bass Booster" with no noticeable effect. But like I said the sound is acceptable.

I don't have the Sony one, so I can't compare. I'm very, very happy with with the ones I bought, though. Very neutral sounding.

If you find audio quality insufficient, you can always buy a laptop soundbar from e.g. Logitech, Philips, etc., which can be fixed to the screen or sit stand-alone. There should be greater volume, with much reduced distortion, and significantly enhanced bass.

There's more to good sound than wattage. The Sony may indeed sound better, but not because it has more watts.

Thank you for suggesting the settings; I had played around with the other sound settings ( Rock, Pop, etc.) buy didn't try the Equalizer settings. I tried adjusting them and am well satisfied now.

Sounds very good as is. It has mid woofer and plenty of bass adjustment. If you want a super woofer, then get a Sony with a wireless sub woofer for about $200.00, it will blow you away!!!! I have both and am happy I run the Pyle out doors and play it so as not disturb the neighbors.

Only if you want terrific sound. I have different settings on my Sony receiver, anddepending on your source of music(pandora, streaming, or Bluetooth, some only use lpcm frequencies. So some music sounds better with a 5.1 setting, while other formats sound richer with 2.1 which sends an LFE (low frequency signal to Sub. Its about preference. But with these speakers I never overwork my amp and get plenty of volume without distortion. The center channel speaker is also awesome. Cheapest price is amazon. Might have to wait a few days/5...youll be glad you did.

I think the audio quality is very good. Here is a video where I used the ATR-6550 mic from about 4 feet away (it was on top of the camera): http://youtu.be/oZcjUAOaNYA The sound quality is very good, clear, with a bit of room ambiance (and my refrigerator in the background!). I've shot some other videos using the ATR-6550 but haven't put them on YouTube yet.

Yes the sound is great and can adjust the volume. The cushions are soft and comfortable to wear. I did get a hum at first but found it was too close to the tv receiver. I also bought a ac adapter instead of using up batteries too often. I am well pleased with it.

All I know is that this unit does have digital sound enhancement. As for voice, I do not know. I wish I could be more helpful. Overall, I am happy with the sound of this unit.

If you use a good mp3 player with good eq then just about anything you listen to will sound good....keyword here is a GOOD EQUALIZER

Hi they are great quality just what you would expect from Sony. However, the bass is not as booming as some may like it.

The sound quality is best in the normal mode. If your environment is noisey turn on noise cancelation and you can enjoy your programming with good background supression.

I enjoy them both. At present the Sony MDRZX300/BLK is slightly more expensive than the Panasonic RPDJS400W DJ, though not by much. I haven't used my Panasonic as much as the Sony; my general impression is that the Sony's audio quality may be a cut above. The "feel factor"--comfort in wearing headphones--is so subjective that any comment might mislead. I find the size and design of the Sony more convenient for storage: with their earpieces swiveled inwards, you can store them flat. The Panasonic are bulkier.

I would say so. The surround sound is definitely not as good as a headphone or a system but it's decent. What you hear also depends on the quality of your music and I say I am enjoying mine so far.

We'll hopefully you have sound settings like I do on my iPad, but regardless they are not distorting. I use mine primarily for home theater movies after hours. These are exceptional headphones and built very well. Bye

Much better. You won't be disappointed. There are tons of sound presets to suit your tastes, plus 4 presets that you can fully customize. Even without any enabled the sound quality is still better thanks to the Wolfson DAC in the device.
