Blown away!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Has made a completely big difference! Love the sound of it with the subwoofer. Movies sound like youre in a theater, music sounds amazing with the bass, and sports game is perfectly clear. Happy I went this option instead.

Posted .Hi Karina,
Amazing! We're thrilled that you are enjoying the sound quality of the soundbar. You also made the right choice in adding the optional wireless subwoofer (SA-SW3 or SA-SW5). Take your entertainment to a new realm of audio immersion. The HT-A5000 has 5.1.2 channels and X-Balanced speaker units minimize distortion while the up-firing speakers and beam tweeters fill the room to give an ultra-immersive listening experience. Built-in subwoofers provide an additional boost to low end frequencies. Vertical Surround Engine and S-Force Pro Front Surround creates immersive sound from all around, while Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X® lend a more realistic, multi-dimensional sound to your content. Thanks for choosing Sony!

High Quality Soundbar from Sony
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While there are cheaper options out there, this well built and sturdy Sony wireless soundbar provides significantly better sound than the TV speakers and doesn’t require a bunch of audio equipment to produce it.

Great sound but poor connection issues
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The A5000 soundbar when paired with subwoofer and surrounds does a great job and gives you a immersive experience with any Dolby or DTS content thrown at it. That being said the connection when plugging into the hdmi input has me shaking my head at times. The handshake issues between the soundbar and my Sony a80j tv is terrible. Definitely takes to long for two products of the same make, quality 8k cables all settings on tv and soundbar are correct. If this wasn’t an issue this product would be perfect.

Solid Soundbar at a great price.

Even without a separate bass, there is enough lows to satisfy if you do not need room shattering low end. Dialog is crystal clear.
