      Thank you for that fantastic review, WilliamS!

      We are so pleased to hear that your new HT-A8000 is delivering such an excellent audio experience for you. It's truly rewarding to know that the dialogue is much clearer now—we designed this soundbar to provide crystal-clear voice clarity so you never miss a word.

      And we are thrilled that the Dolby Atmos feature is making such a difference for you! We engineered the soundbar to create an incredibly immersive, three-dimensional soundscape that makes you feel like you're right in the middle of the action, so it's great to hear that it's working so well for you.

      Thank you again for choosing Sony and for sharing your experience. We hope you continue to enjoy a fantastic sound experience!

      Best regards,

      We are thrilled to hear that your HT-A9000 has been such a worthwhile purchase and that you are enjoying its crystal-clear sound.

      The HT-A9000 uses 13 speaker units within the single bar, including up-firing speakers, to create an immersive audio experience.

    Honestly, I got this sound bar to replace my a7000 thinking this would be a huge upgrade with the additional two speakers that are side firing, versus the side firing tweeters. Seems like a lot of features have been stripped away and I don’t like that I’m forced to use my phone to make any changes. I don’t like not having a visual on the sound bar that tells me what mode I’m in, etc. The sound actually does not have as much of a deep dynamic feel as the a7000. I think I’m going to go back to my a7000. Some people may be happy with this new. “Upgrade” but I am not.

    Bought the Bravia 8 soundbar to add with my Bravia 7 TV. We don't have space for lots of speakers. And my wife doesn't like booming bass. This soundbar was the perfect balance for us. Fits under the TV. And the sound quality is clean, clear vocals with enough rumble when needed.

    Really love this soundbar, it sounds fantastic in my living room that is prone to echos. The setup is really simple but I do wish we weren't forced to create an account so Sony can collect data for simply wanting to use a soundbar. Once everything is setup though, the connection is a breeze.

    The soundbar is great if you have a bass laying around. With all the speakers in it you would think it would have some kind of bass but it doesnt. Sound is great though for what it is just had to buy a $350 bass just to have some. Also gets 3 stars since i had to return a brand new one cause it didnt sync and best buy had to come out and check for themselves making me go 2 weeks without it. If its on a good deal buy it if not dont bother.

      Hi Jeffrey, we are sorry to hear that your experience with the Sony - BRAVIA Theater Bar 8 has not been as you expected. We understand how frustrating it must've been as well having the first unit not able to sync. In regards to the bass, you do have the option to buy an additional subwoofer but the Soundbar itself comes with an integrated built-in quad woofer, and you can increase the bass level to your preference following some steps:
      1- You can increase the bass by pushing the bass (+) button on the supplied remote
      2- Set the Sound Field mode on, this will give you a surround sound with a sense of presence
      3- If used with a TV you can go into the TV settings and look for a built-in equalizer, you can enhance the bass from there and make it more powerful on the Soundbar.
      We hope these steps can help you in making your experience better. Thank you for choosing Sony! Regards, -Dominick Sony_US
