Amazing display of Atmos
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I paired this with the SW3 subwoofer and rear speakers and I love it. It sounds like there speakers surrounding the entire room. Sounds bounce off the ceiling and items zip by your ear, it truly is remarkable. It’s a small room, not sure how this would sound with higher ceilings, but for my purposes, the entire set sounds fantastic. Atmos is such a cool technology, I look forward to seeing it get utilized more in the future.

Posted .Hi NovelBadger,
Amazing! We're glad that you are enjoying the sound quality and Atmos support of the soundbar. You also made the right choice in adding the optional Sony SA-RS3S rear speakers and SA-SW3 subwoofer.
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. Thanks for choosing Sony!

Sound Bar
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!!!!

Great soundbar could be used solo
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Decent sound-bar
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Game changer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Excellent Addition to Sony TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Strong home theater system, but beware if you don'
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Happy with the purchase
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did a lot of research but I'm happy I purchased the Sony HT-A5000. Although I will add rear speakers later, when combined with the SA-SW3-200W sub woofer, I have way more bass than I need. It fills the room with sound. My living room is approximately 20x24 with a vaulted ceiling.
