Good menu integration with Sony TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only thing good about the sound bar is the menu integration with my Sony Bravia 8 II. Sound enhancement is minimal without the back speakers and subwoofer. There is minimal stereo separation from the soundbar.

Posted .Hello JohnJ,
Thank you for considering Sony products.
We are sorry to hear that the HTA8000 soundbar has not delivered the immersive audio quality you were looking for. It is understandable how disappointing it is to feel that the audio depth and stereo separation are lacking, especially when you have a high-quality display like the Bravia 8 II.
While the integration makes setup seamless, we realize that the sound performance itself is what truly matters. To improve the spatial imaging and low-end impact, adding the optional rear speakers and a subwoofer is often the best path, but we recognize that the standalone bar should still provide a robust upgrade over built-in speakers.
If you would like assistance with optimizing your settings or troubleshooting the sound stages to get the most out of your current setup, please reach out to our support team. We would like to help improve your experience. You can reach our experts at: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=ht

Posted .Hi Cjd4,
We are delighted to hear that your BRAVIA Theater Bar 9 is delivering great sound and pairing perfectly with your BRAVIA 8 OLED!
The combination of these two products creates a truly immersive ecosystem. By utilizing Acoustic Center Sync, your BRAVIA 8 actually becomes part of the audio system, functioning as the center channel so that dialogue comes directly from the screen where the action is happening. This, along with our 360 Spatial Sound Mapping, ensures that your living room is transformed into a full cinematic environment. We are thrilled that the performance has justified the investment and is providing the premium experience you were looking for.
Thank you for trusting Sony to bring world-class sound and vision into your home.
Regards,
Dominick

Our livingroom in very open and we were impressed with how the room was filled with sound. Make sure they connect the s cable during install. It does make a difference. Voices are clear and you can hear much more detail than before.

Sony soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Clear sound. It has great ambience. The lower range and bass were just right as we don’t need a strong sound from a subwoofer. This soundbar sounded better when compared to LG and Samsung.

Exactly Right!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does exactly what irts supposed to on a 55” Bravia tv, with the small (#3) Sony subwoofer. Ths model 9 is overkill for amaller tvs and rooms, unless you watch Top Gun at full volume every week, or live in your PS. Great product, great installers.

Sony Theater 8 Soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony Theater * soundbar, I purchased to go along with my Bravia TV, but it was just ok for me and my listening demands. I purchased the SW3 wireless subwoofer to help with the bass tones for Home Theater, but it did not compare to my wired sub and I was ultimately less than satisfied with the bass produced.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi GuyR,
We’re sorry to hear the SA-SW3 didn’t provide the deep bass response you were looking for. While the SW3 is a great compact option, we recommend the SA-SW5 subwoofer for more demanding home theater setups, as its 300W output and larger 180mm driver with a passive radiator deliver significantly deeper, more cinematic bass that rivals wired alternatives. Additionally, please ensure you’ve run the "Sound Field Optimization" in the BRAVIA Connect app, which calibrates the subwoofer to your specific room acoustics for improved impact.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab

Great sound bar, best with add-ons
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.On its own, it's not that amazing, BUT when you add the sub and rears, it's a fantastic experience! Would be five stars if it could hold its own as just a sound bar
