Pros: I like the overall sound produced with SW3 subwoofer, I would say it provides a decent movie experience. Cons: Mids are not good, need to crank up the volume much higher to get clear voices when watching movies. Overall it gives a better home theater experience to someone who had been using basic 5-6 years old sound-bar system but nowhere close to traditional 2.1 or 3.1 HT system.

Hi SamRVA,
Thank you for the review and we're glad you like the sound quality of the soundbar for your movie experience. We hope that between some of our premium audio technologies such as Vertical Surround Engine and S-Force Pro Front Surround, you feel like you are not only in a sphere of sound, but inside the movie itself. To ensure that you are getting the most out of your HT-A5000, make sure to run Sound Field Optimization so that the soundbar can calibrate its performance to your environment, and that it sounds like it was engineered to be in your room. If you want to expand your audio system, please take a look at our optional subwoofer and rears accessories (SA-SW5,SA-SW3,SA-RS3S). Thank you for choosing Sony!
Regards,
David

Sound quality is a drastic improvement over any and every other option. Vocal tones are crisp and clear, bass tones cut through appropriately, and functionality outside of tv use is nothing short of incredible. Down the road I may look at getting a sub but at this point i see no necessity for one. Great soundbar.

I looked at several Sound Bars to go with my new 75” Sony XL93 Bravia. I could have gone cheaper … but the sound was just average. I could have gone more expensive, but the difference just did not up the game enough to justify the additional dollars. I have an amazing system for watching movies and sports!!!!

Do you want an amazing sound bar that fills your entire room with more than enough sound, even at 1/3 of its full capability? Then this is the sound bar you want. It’s equivalent to experiencing a screeching bald eagle fly while a flyover is happening at a football game. Simply incredible.

This sounbar is loud and i didn't notice any distortion playing music at volume level 100. With the sound field mode on the sound seems fill the room more robustly. With the sound field off it sound more flat but why would anyone turn if off when it sounds so amazing with it on.

Strong home theater sound. If you have a Sony TV then purchase with confidence. I deducted a star because it is not perfectly interoperable with non-Sony TVs such as the LG C3, which I have. If that is a concern, be sure to research the interoperability details.

Hi SAICHARANM,
We are very sorry to hear that you are experiencing low bass and frustrating Wi-Fi drops with your HT-A5000 soundbar. To quickly improve the connection and sound, please press the BASS button on your remote to turn up the low-end, and try connecting the soundbar to your router's 5 GHz Wi-Fi band rather than the 2.4 GHz band to stop the AirPlay disconnects. If you need further help or advanced troubleshooting, please visit our Sony Support site at https://www.sony.com/electronics/support.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,

Paired up with the 300W subwoofer, the sound bar is able to fill our 400sqft living room with ease. When used with our Sony TV for the center chanel sound, we honestly prefer watching at home versus going to the theater. Truly the only better experience is IMAX.

We had a little difficulty setting up at first. My son-in- law was able to do it, but also had some difficulty.

Hi EllenW,
We are sorry to hear that you encountered some initial difficulty during the setup of your HT-A5000. We recommend ensuring that the soundbar is connected via the HDMI (eARC/ARC) port and that "Control for HDMI" is enabled in the settings to streamline the process, as this often resolves common connectivity hurdles during the first-time installation.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab

Must have with a Bravia. Enhances speech and is just right for a mid sized family room. Bluetooth pairing with phones makes it even more versatile.

Purchased this sound bar for a 65” Sony Mini-LED TV. It works seamlessly and very much upgrades the sound. The bar fits perfectly under the tv set. Did not purchase the additional speakers and really don’t feel like they are necessary.

Happy with this soundbar. Quality at a fair price. This was set up for me by a Best Buy Technician, who did a great job. Now I'm aware Best Buy comes to Morristown I will be doing any tech business with them.
