Hi Tracy, Basically this is a 28 inch wide soundbar and you can connect to it with your iPhone via bluetooth. Yes, it is stereo, but at 28 inches wide you will still not get really good separation, think of how 2 good quality computer speakers would sound if placed two and a half feet apart. If you are quite close to the soundbar it would sound better, but if you are sitting on the couch 8 feet away it will still not sound like having two bluetooth speakers which can be set up as a stereo pair and which you can then place 6 or 8 feet apart.
I have the soundbar from Sonos which is rated as one of the best soundbars out there and my guess is that it would sound quite a bit better than the Sony one which is about one third the price and even the Sonos Playbar with its 9 speakers two of which fire to the side to create the illusion of separation still has its limitations. This is of course just my opinion and it all depends on your expectations and what you compare it to. One thing I found with this type of stuff is that you definitely get what you pay for.

Has anyone used a TV sound bar as their stereo speaker system for their iDevice? I was reading about this one on Amazon... Amazon.com: Sony HT-XT1 2.1 Channel Sound Bar with Built-In Subwoofer: Electronics http://www.amazon.com/Sony-HT-XT1-Channel-Built--Subwoofer/dp/B00IWQREOE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1433970705&sr=8-1&keywords=Sony+HT-XT1 It reads pretty well, & not a bad price point. My 2 thoughts are: 1. Takes up a small amount of space — under our TV in fact. :) 2. I miss stereo sound with my iDevice music, so I’m hoping I may hear that with this unit. I have a UE Boom & love it, but of course, I don’t have that stereo separation with one boom. What are your thoughts?
