Excellent soundbar for newer Sony tvs.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent soundbar. Great room correction features, high resolution audio performance, links well with newer Sony tvs, upfiring speakers are really good if you are in a smaller room. It’s very good when it’s a stand alone soundbar but linking it up with a subwoofer takes it up a notch and lands it in the excellent category.

Good soundbar and great value

Have the Hta7000 in a 24x24 sunroom and i don't think the 5000 is enough but i love the capability and sound quality when paired with the sw3 sub and rs3 rears.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds Fantastic. Great base. Can't wait to turn it up past 50 % in about 3 months. They said to break it in it is best not to go past 50% very often, so the speaker can get used to the vibration. I like to watch my movies like I am at the theater.

This thing has allowed me to enjoy football games, and movies better than I was currently doing. It has rich clear sound, and if you pair it with the Sony sw5 subwoofer, then you will be enjoying tv on a whole other level.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice overall sound, but works best with Sony tv's to get that central surround sound. We have this one connected to a Samsung tv and the bigger one connected to a Sony tv and you can definitedly tell the difference. If your looking for something with nice sound for bedroom or living this is it givem its connected to proper tv.

Great sound, but needs a subwoofer
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This soundbar is really good once it has time to break in. I was disappointed at first,, but after a couple of weeks the sound widened and became much richer. Also using the screen as the center channel really does make the dialogue feel like it's coming from the person speaking. It does however, need a separate subwoofer. The base is better than most soundbars, but cannot replace the immersive feeling you get with a subwoofer. I took off one star for the need for a subwoofer that isn't included and one for the fact that I have a wireless subwoofer that came with another Sony soundbar and it won't connect. You have to buy one of two specific models (the cheapest being $400). All Sony wireless subwoofers should work with it.
