Bad
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .Hi Dampsocks,
We're absolutely delighted to hear that you find the BRAVIA Theater Bar 9 sounds great and delivers an experience you feel is "totally worth it!" That is exactly what we strive for with our premium audio products and the integration of Dolby Atmos and 360 Spatial Sound Mapping. Pairing it with the optional wireless subwoofer (SA-SW5 or SA-SW3) and rear speakers (SA-RS5 or SA-RS3R) is indeed the best way to unlock the full potential of a truly immersive, cinematic 360-degree sound field. Enjoy every moment of your movies and music!
Thanks for choosing Sony.

Posted .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! It is incredibly rewarding to know that you are so impressed with the sound quality and performance of our premium soundbar, especially after your previous disappointing experience with another brand.
We designed the HTA8000 to deliver an immersive, room-filling audio experience, and your feedback is a wonderful validation of that effort.
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!

Great sound!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound! Got the wow effect like on the QUAD speakers.
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi Maximo,
We are ecstatic to learn that the BRAVIA Theater Bar 9 gave you that incredible "wow" factor! Comparing it to our flagship BRAVIA Theater Quad is a massive compliment, as both are engineered to redefine what home cinema can sound like. We are glad that the Bar 9 is delivering that same immersive, expansive soundstage that makes you feel like you are right in the middle of the action.
That stunning audio is largely thanks to our 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology. While the Bar 9 is a single sleek unit, it uses 13 speakers—including up-firing drivers and side beam tweeters—to create phantom speakers all around your room. This mimics the multi-speaker setup of the Quad system, enveloping you in sound from every direction and ensuring that every explosion, whisper, and musical score feels breathtakingly real.
Thank you for trusting Sony to bring a true cinematic experience into your home.
Regards,
Dominick

Bar 9 is a very good system
|Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
