      Thank you for sharing your fantastic review, HuyV!

      We are absolutely thrilled to hear that the HTA8000 Soundbar is the best you have purchased so far!

      Thank you again for choosing Sony for your home audio needs. We hope you continue to enjoy the superior sound quality for years to come!

    Being honest I expected way more when I purchased this soundbar considering the high price point. The soundbar was bad it kept disconnecting from the tv every five minutes. I have to turn it off and and on again in order for it to work. Also the sound quality was not great either considering the price there are many options with way better sound at this price.

    Pricey but worth it if you are going for a full home set up. The bar 8 would be a close runner up in my opinion but if you get it for a good sale definitely consider getting this system.
