Sony Bringing New Bravia Soundbars With Dolby Atmos for 2025

Sony has unveiled two new Dolby Atmos soundbars for 2025: the Bravia Theater Bar 6 with a wireless sub, and the Bravia Theater System 6 surround set.

Both systems include various sound modes, including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X and Sony's Voice Zoom 3 for clearer voice reproduction. The soundbars can be controlled with the Bravia app or on a TV such as the new Bravia 8 II.

The Bravia Theater Bar 6 is a 3.1.2-channel soundbar with a wireless sub and a dedicated center channel. It can be paired with Sony's new stereo-only rear speakers, the Bravia Theater Rear 8, to make a complete 5.1.2 system.

The Bravia Theater System 6 is an all-in-one 5.1-channel powerful sound system, which one Sony representative told CNET was similar to a "home theater in a box." It comes with a subwoofer and rear speakers. As the system lacks up-firing speakers, Dolby Atmos is enabled courtesy of digital sound processing.

Based on my testing, Sony has consistently made some of the most advanced soundbars, but the trade-off is that they are also typically more expensive. Pricing and availability will be announced later this spring.
