    Exellent Sound Bar with a few caveats

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I found this sound bar to be a excellent sound bar but there is room for a bit of improvement. While sound clarity is good with the bar alone you do need the subwoofer and surrounds to get the true cinematic experience especially in a larger room. Another poor decision for me is not having the ability to adjust treble and base. The software can be clunky. At times I have unplug it and disconnect tv for changes to take effect. Iike the integration with the Bravia TVs. It is also a bit overpriced in my opinion. Overall if I had to I would but it again since it works so well with my Bravia TV.

    Overall it’s a good sound system. On its own it wouldn’t pass 3 stars. The Subwoofer is a MUST. It does reach 4 stars if it’s Paired up with a Sub and rear speakers as well as a Sony Tv that can act as a center speaker. It will sound more “mutted” than the A5000 but cranking up the bass and volume will definitely fix that. The Bravia App is a must for adjustments and updates. if you have WiFi connectivity you won’t have to rely on a USB to add updates.

    At my age and having multiple surround sound set ups, I was looking for something that was very clear and I could hear more detail. The salesman suggested this first and I absolutely love it. It does exactly what I want: it is very clear, no distortion, no overwhelming bass and easy to use with the app. It’s the first set up my wife has ever approved.
