Cons

• Length of speaker wires

Best Uses

Comments about Sony HT-SS380:

I'm a film student majoring in post-production so I mainly use this system with my iMac when editing a project in surround sound. This system works great for that! It's easy to connect to my iMac and provides excellent sound quality. I have also used this system with my TV for watching films and HD TV. It was very easy to set up. There are several different sound presets for watching movies, TV, sports, listening to music, gaming, etc. There are also a lot of adjustable settings. It comes with an iPod dock which is nice. The only thing I don't like about this product is the length of the speaker wires. I don't have an issue with them, I have plenty of wire for my setups, but for someone that has a larger area to cover it could be hard to place the speakers where you would want them. Overall, excellent system for an good price. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for surround sound for their computer or home theater.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Hands Down the Best Deal for the Money

By 4to5characters

from California

Comments about Sony HT-SS380:

With the employee discount and free shipping, this is the best deal for the money on any similarly-featured surround sound system. It's a solid system that you will not be dissappointed with. It auto-calibrates the sound for an amazing movie watching experience. It has iPhone/iPod connection. I'm enjoying all of my digital content, BluRay DVDs and Cable TV in great surround sound. I'd recommend this to anyone.

Great System

By mdfromnj

Comments about Sony HT-SS380:

I recently purchased this Theater System and WOW. I am not a geek and have trouble with setting anything up, but this was easy. I also hooked in my son's gaming system and the sound is amazing. I did a ton of research before making my decison to buy, and I am glad that I made this purchase.
