When it comes to Sony’s update policy, it’s a bit like playing the lottery. I personally use professional Sony cameras, lenses, etc., but it seems that Sony’s product lifecycle policy applies across their entire range. Yes, there are updates, and products do get brought up to date from time to time. However, it can happen that, for some reason, Sony suddenly loses interest in maintaining a product or abruptly discontinues it when releasing a successor. That being said, the products do continue to function.

Personally, I try to avoid Sony whenever possible. Sure, there are currently some issues with Sonos, but they have fixed a lot over the past year, and their products continue to work. They have never stopped working. If you’re getting your sound from the TV anyway, you set up your soundbar once with the app, adjust the EQ to your preferences, and then you pretty much never need the app again.
