Only bought a couple of weeks ago but I’m impressed with the picture quality output (although an excellent 4K lead purchased separately also helps significantly).
Robust build quality too.

Review of Sony Theatre 9 Soundbar
I bought this soundbar to accompany a new Sony Bravia 8 OLES TV and I am glad I did as the sound quality is so much better than you can get from the TV speakers alone.

Sony UBP-X800M2 punches above it's weight.
Totally amazing picture once I finally realised that I learnt how to set the picture settings. Apparently, too much playing around with settings and starting from scratch with help, the sound & picture quality is on a different level. Sony UBP-X800M2 punches above it's weight.

Top Quality machine
We have been after a 4K Blu-Ray player for some time to rplace our elderly but still functional, UBP-H1 machine.
This didn't disappoint. Very sharp 4K picture from standard Blu ray, even better than our previous machine and that was also a well regarded player. and as for 4K discs, very good indeed. The only small caveat is the need to switch to Dolby Vision manually, but we already knew this. As the player is now at a great price, please don't hesitate to buy it while it is still in production

Comes up Short
This product is a disappointment. Frequently fails to read DVDs correctly, resulting in incorrect aspect ratio. Also sometimes displays captions when not wanted. I’ve gone over operating instructions and updated repeatedly. The malfunctions are chronic.

Excellent for what I bought it for , Hires audio from USB , audio out via Coaxial. But video(mkv) from USB drive audio not supported E AC3 (Dolby Digital Plus) ,that is only lack for Sony UBP-X800M2. All kind of disc play perfectly.
Maybe firmware update can fix Dolby Digital Plus compability with mkv files from USB.

Good picture quality
This was an upgrade to take advantage of the Dolby Atmos and HDR features on my new oled TV. I already have the mark 1 version of this player which is brilliant, not sure what I expected but for all intensive purposes, it's no different, looks identical, features are the same apart from the apps menu is a bit cheap looking compared to the older version and the picture and sound are good, but not noticeably better than the older version. I can't help think that this is more or less the same with a software upgrade which should have happened with the old version. A bit disappointed overall.

My antique DVPND70H will remember where you were in the last several DVDs you played, even if they were removed and reinserted after months. This expensive junk can't remember where you were in the BD that STAYED INSERTED when you paused the movie half way through. Quailty! (quality misspelled on purpose)

It took a while to figure out how to send the higher resolution of SACD to my stereo and be able to see the selections I was making. It would be nice to have more display info on the DVD player itself, I could drop the TV out of the mix. I would LOVE if the display also would show the resolution of the music being played.

Sony Quality
I purchased this 4k blu-ray player to go with my recently purchased Sony 4k TV and matching soundbar to complete my home AV system. It integrates easily with the other Sony products. The picture & sound are everything I'd expect from Sony, clarity and detail superb on a 4k disc. I also tried several discs from my standard blu-ray collection and the upscaling was impressive (a lot will depend on the age of the movie and the quality of the transfer). Overall a quality product.

Mixed bag
Sony 4k players (both the UXP-x800m2 and uxp-x700) are decent for the price but have some known issues. They support Dolby Vision, though you have to turn it on and off depending on whether the disc supports it. They have known issues with the transition from the 2nd to 3rd layers of 4K discs, which is annoying to experience 2/3rds through a movie (it's basically akin to what you'd expect for a disc issue, except you often need to reboot the player to recover from it). The UXP-x800m2 will report "Dolby 2.0" on the output display, though it still might be outputting 5.1 or better.

Great Disc Player!
I got this mainly for its ability to play multichannel SCAD & DVD-A audio discs. Not too many players can do this nowadays. It has played these and Blu Ray exceptionally well. In two months time, I have yet to have an issue of it locking up. The audio and video aspects of this player have impressed. Really can’t go wrong at this price point.

Sony UBP-800M2 Better Than Panasonic DP-UB820EBK
Sony UBP-800M2 Purchased a month ago for an on street store. Already own a Panasonic DP-UB820EBK and the Sony with all formats has superior picture and slightly better sound. Has made me revisit my Blu-ray and 4K Blu-ray collection that I had lost a bit of interest in. The build quality is much more robust as you can tell by the weight of both players. Wish I had purchased this player rather than the Panasonic 2 years ago.

Great features, pictures, and sound output.
I bought this device to get more out of my 4K Blu-ray disks on my Sony TV and Dolby Atmos receiver. The Dolby Atmos and picture has improved from my PS5 as a play back device. The only issues I have is that sometime the Sony Bravia TV decides to switch the sound to the EARC channel from the dedicated HDMI sound connection channel. When it does I need to change the Denon Reciver back to the correct sound input. It would also be nice to install Disney+, Vudu, and movies Anywhere to the players options. The images and sound from Netflix and my Blu-rays are great. I setup 13 speakers in a 7.2.4 on my receiver. I had to do a pre-amp out for two of the channels.

A exquisite 4K Ultra High Definition Player
I first read many of the reviews written by present owners. I then went on line & placed my order for in store pickup. Once I set the unit up and connected it to my 4K UHD TV and turned it on, I was blown away. No matter the disc format it loaded rapidly. The dvd and blu-ray movies were brighter as well as more vivid color wise. When I played a 4K disc, I was stunned at the quality of the image. The sound quality was absolutely amazing, detailed, and immersive. It clearly out performed the LG blu-ray player that I had been using over the last 3 years. The remote control is lightning fast without any delay whatsoever. I have always loved Sony’s DVD players/recorders and now there 4K UHD player remains a high quality product. I highly and strongly recommend the UBP-X800M2 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray / DVD player for anyone looking to upgrade from a standard blu-ray player. You will not be disappointed!

Sony blu-ray players keep getting better
Bought this a couple months ago with a new Sony sound system to go with it. Great purchase. I have always had Sony products for digital media since CD players came out in the 80's. I have found Sony products to be of high quality and very reliable. This is no exception.
A salesperson tried to steer me to a competitive brand, but I refuse. I will always purchase Sony audio and video products when given the choice. They have never failed me.
The quality is outstanding. I really enjoy listening to my 5.1 mixes from blu-ray discs on this. When combined with Sony speaker system and subwoofer the sound is totally awesome.

One Exception
I am very pleased with this unit. Had two more expensive Panasonic units, both that refused to eject media after a few month's normal operation. This unit is also heavier than the Panasonics; it appears to be structurally stronger and better designed. Operation... So far, the few times a disc has stalled turned out to be smudges and finger prints on the media; after a quick cleaning, the unit has played on without a problem. The only improvement I would like to see involves playing Dolby Vision HDRs; you have to go into the Screen Settings menus to enable the separate Dolby Vision option before playing a Dolby Vision disc and then go back and turn the setting off for playing other media. Surely, any widely used video format should be automatically sensed after hitting the Play button. Overall, I think the UBP-X800M2 4K UHD Blu-ray Player is great; it is better than the two more expensive units that had disc drive problems. My last comment and recommendation is to compare brand warranties before you buy any expensive electronics. Some warranties cover parts for one year and labor for only six months!

Video and sound are great, software/firmware junk
Just line many others, I cannot perform a needed firmware update via either WiFi or even properly prepared USB stick. The unit just reboots immediately. When I turn it back on it looks like it is trying to run the update but it just fails. I've even gone through the trouble fo 2 factory resets. No luck. Sony should be ashamed of this poor quality, its very much not consistent with the rest of their product line.

Very happy with this purchase. Perfect for my needs. Wanted something to play SACDs, DVD-Audio, Blu-Ray, UHD-4K Movies, etc. It does it all really well. Plus it streams Amazon and Netflix built in which is a bonus. I just plugged it into my Onkyo 5.1 AV receiver (via HDMI) and it started working fine. Might be nice to have some kind of display on the unit, but I don’t need it since I always use my TV as the display. Highly recommended.

I have only played 2 movies on it so far but it has very robust features and is very well built as well, I only buy Sony players for my physical media as they tend to make the best players in the mid range market, If you are into collecting physical media like I am then just do yourself a favor and get this player. It has dual band Wi-Fi ethernet connectivity as well, has dolby vision plus HDR for 4K blu ray playback as well upscaling for regular blu rays and dvd dics as well. It will also play your super audio format cd's as well if you have any of those kicking about. Just get this player and do not hesitate!

The best disc player I have had
This is a very versatile disc player and worth noting it can play almost any type of media disc. It has two HDMI outputs, one with audio/video and one with audio only, which is handy for those wishing to use their sound system with it, for example playing a music disc. The sound quality is dynamic and clear. On 4K the HDR discs are beautifully rendered and colorful images are wonderfully vivid. DVD playback is perfectly acceptable. The disc mechanism is quiet and tray operation smooth and quiet too. There is no detectable vibration during operation. Definitely happy with this purchase. Worth noting the device can easily be connected to the internet via Wi-Fi which is handy for future software updates. I tested it out-of-the-box with the pre-installed software and have had no problems.

Great player, no nonsense.
Really good player, and nice to see Sony still making UHD blu ray players. Excellent performance, although the odd lockup (known issue with bd-100 discs. Google it, it affects Panasonic and LG too)
The only issue, is dolby vision doesn't switch automatically. I myself and many others want this added via firmware. I love the player but others are telling people to go for the Panasonic Ub-820 just because it auto switches dolby vision automatically.
Aside from that, player runs well.

This is an excellent player with great picture and sound quality. My big problem is the fact that the DVD function isn’t multi region which the technical specs appear to indicate it would be.

Much improved on the X800M
I’m loyal you Sony and over the years have had many products from them. I’m in my 5th TV and umpteenth Blu-Ray player. My four year old XM800 inexplicably packed up and wouldn’t switch on, which seems to be a common trait with Sony Blu-Ray players. I replaced it with the X800M2.
Overall, I’m much happier. It feels less clunky, faster and smoother to load up discs, more responsive, has a much better UI, amazing audio and picture, and offers Dolby Vision. The only issue I have with it is the silly nonsensical way in which you have to enable / disable DV dependent on the 4K discs that is being played. That is, if DV is enabled and the disc is not DV, it plays it in DV regardless and looks terrible. So it’s a bit of a faff and seems like a crazy user unfriendly way to enable DV. Other than that, this is far better than the previous model.

I started looking for a disc player initially to act as a CD player in my home set up, then realised that this plays everything. I've used my PS5 as a UHD player occasionally but this player seems far better for handling discs (it's played through some that have stuttered on the PS5), is quieter and looks great in my front room. It does a great job on sound and the picture is great on both 4k and 1080p discs.
Having had a period where I thought streaming was the future, I now appreciate the better quality of a physical disc and can see 4k UHD becoming like vinyl is for audiophiles - something you do when the film warrants the investment and you want the best quality possible (and to know it won't be removed for any reason!).
The UBP-X800M2 is a great addition to my set up and I would recommend it to anyone looking to take full advantage of their TV and home cinema set up.

Great universal player
Had some problems with the sound on HDMI2, a factory reset to the sound helped. Plays everything you through at it with great sound, use it for SACD, DVD and 5.1 BD discs. Don't recognise HDCD though, but of course plays the disc. Miss the display, you need the TV on. You have to adjust the setting to get the best sound, but then it performs very well.
Not many universal players around like this - and to a decent price.

Fine but hadn't realised that there was no display
A problem I had that it seemed to activate my old Sony Player (BDP-S4100) attached to another TV when using the remote and the 2 were inseparable despite trying to key-in the different TV id's. When using this model, both players were activated and the TV's got confused and even shut down!

Quality DVD Player and easy to install and set up
I bough this DVD player to match my new Sony BraviaX85L 55" Smart TV.
I was so impressed with the TV picture quality I wanted to get a 4K HDR DVD Blu-ray player to deliver a similar high quality viewing experience.
The obvious choice was from Sony and this machine does not disappoint.
Heavier than expected, solid and oozes build quality even by just opening the box.
Slim and good looking design sits nicely on the stand below my Sony TV.
Very simple to set up (HDMI and Power Cable) and the simple on screen set up process got me connected to WiFi and ready to play in no time at all. It comes with the capability to play discs, USB devices, streaming and playing files (connecting to a Home Network) and listening to audio through a blue tooth device. Very quick and easy to set up and go.

Very pleased
I have always used Sony Blu ray players and this one does not disappoint. It will only play region 2 discs (Region 1 = USA & CANADA), but this is not problem. Previously all the blu ray players could be tweaked to play region 1 discs but not now for any player brought in the UK or Europe.

Great performance and features
Have only only had the machine just over a week and it has performed without any issues. Plays SACD AND DVD-A really well. Only thing missing is a display on the front of it.

This is a five star but .....
Great picture and sound and very easy to setup and use but my one minor gripe is the on TV screen menu which is basic. Most people would prefer this but I prefer a bigger expanded menu. Foor me, it is easier to navigate.

Very good 4K Player
Excellent player for the price though would benefit from an Auto Dolby Vision Selection and front panel display per the now obsolete yet sililar UBP X1100S.

Problem with lip synch on Blu ray discs only
Nice player. Very quiet. I do have a problem with playing blue ray discs. The lip synch is out. 4K discs and standard discs are okay. Can anyone advise ?

Excellent with a reservation
Excellent machine - great audio/visual quality. However, I bought this as a source for my home cinema projector (Sony) and would have appreciated access to subscription services and, such as, TV catch-up apps. All it has are Netflix and Amazon Prime. I appreciate that if connected to a TV, such would probably no be necessary but my projector does not have any apps installed. Older machines were better in this respect - I would like to know why.

Fast solid unit
Has played everything flawlessly & I found the setup easy & intuitive
Build quality is excellent
Paired with my a95l perfectly
Note: upscale I found best on the Auto2 setting (which involves taking the player out of Bravia TV MODE that it does automatically)
Also Dolby Vision requires setting on/off at each individual disc
Overall very pleased with the picture & audio quality
Maxine has some weight/heft in a positive way

Good Quality, Many Features, but...
The device can play virtually any modern media format, snd it works togehetr well with other SONY equipment like e.g. a TV set. Handling is easy as long as you do not need to go deeper into the setup - there things becom cryptic, and the help texts and other documentation do not answer all questions in an easy way.
Another trade-off is that there are some internet services like youtube and netfoilx pre-installed, but I could not find a way to install other streaming apps.
And one more flaw: It can play SACD discs and output data in DSD format, but not on the coax diogital output socket, only on HDMI. I did not expect this, I wanted to play SADC media and send the DSD stream to my DAC which can decode DSD directly. No way, you need an amp or DAC with HDMI input, which I do not have and want.
But there is at least one adapter box on the market which can extract the sound data stream from HDMI and output even DSD on a S/PDIF socket. But caution: Most of these devices cannot do DSD although they claim it.
Anyway, the UBP-X800M2 4K is great for all video formats, easy to use and I recommend it as long as you do not have exotic ideas like me :)

Great all round performance
I can't fault it, my old blu ray couldn't cope with the latest discs but this is perfect. Sound and picture is amazing.

Best Choice For 4K Blu-Ray
Purchased about three weeks ago at the same time as X93L 65" TV. It is everything that Sony says it is, amazing performance, incredible sound and picture. With the TV and 4K Blu-Ray set up I'll now move on to making my sound system choice, it will absolutely be Sony.

Awesome Player!
I bought this product over five years ago, and I LOVE IT! From 4K UHD blu-ray to regular blu-ray discs, it makes old DVDs look and sound great! You play Super Audio CDs in multi-channel & 2-channel formats and it also plays CDs. Connect to an audio device via Bluetooth (I own a Panasonic SA-PMX150 stereo, which has Bluetooth in, and even with just 2 speakers films and tv come alive with this player.

Cannot stream Atmos.
I bought it to fill out my home theatre experience. Only issue I have with this player is that, though it does play Dolby Atmos on discs, it will not play Atmos on streaming services like Netflix or Amazon. You cannot find that info anywhere in their advertising. Also, fyi, Amazon indicates that the only way to get Atmos on their service is to use a Samsung Blueray player to stream it. I have a nice Sony BRP and it will not stream Netflix or Amazon in Atmos. I don't know who is responsible for this, Sony, Amazon or Dolby?

Heavy built flimsy components
Purchased for hard copy exclusively. Blu-ray, 4K and region B, and that is it's weakest point... then there's the stepping down of the digital out... 44.1 and 48kHz locked!!!? That is not hi Res Sony. Lies and more lies, as coax can handle gigabit service for my internet but only 48kHz bandwidth, nonsense, and more nonsense.
