Posted .That's awesome, BradleyA! We're glad that you are impressed with the sound quality of your new Sony soundbar. 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! -Craig
Better Sounding Than It Has a Right To
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sounding soundbar. Very sleek, very large, and very good sounding. This one has quite a bit of weight to it as well. While most soundbars will never take the place of a dedicated speaker set up, this one will at least sound better than you'd expect it to. The build feels premium and has a simple interface. Easy to set up, and has a great wide soundstage (for a soundbar). Replaced a JBL Bar 3.1 system with this and couldn't be happier.

Sony Smart Soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This soundbar is amazing!!! I was a bit hesitant to purchase it because of the overall size and it was the mid-level option available, but this thing rocks the room. And it synched with the Sony tv remote, making use even easier. Very satisfied with the performance and sounds this unit produces. Do not waiver if you're on the fence, jump on over and grab it!

Good soundbar for movies
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a very good soundbar from Sony. Sound is nice and clear and really enhances movie watching. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars versus 5 is because it does not have a way to level out really loud parts of a movie (ie.. car chases, etc..). We keep the volume high in order to hear dialog - then an explosion or something happens and we find ourselves constantly adjusting the volume.

Waste of Money.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality and the features are excellent. Its just not worth it when the product stops working Out of the Blue to no avail Right when the 1 Year Warranty is up. Contacted Sont Directly with it being Their Product to help fixes the issues that occured. But they dont do anything but ask question after question with no solution. And sending you to someone to help reslove the matter. So its nice to have. Like i stated. Nice sound quality, never had connection issues whether wired, Bluetooth, or with the a Subwoofer thats sold separately. Just not worth the buy if the product doesnt last like it should.

Surprisingly Excellent
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this after moving to a smaller home and downgrading from a whole home theater setup built around a 1080p projector and tower speaker. This soundbar does an excellent job on its own of filling the room with sound. The night and voice-only features really help for watching action shows and movies that poorly balance loud effect sounds with the speaker or narrator (do you find yourself increasing and decreasing your volume? This fixes that) I intend to add the bass and surround speakers, but even without, I am surprisingly satisfied with this product.

Amazing Soundbar! It's like I have my own theater!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After doing a lot of research, I decided on the Sony HTA5000 sound bar. I was originally not going to spend this much, but I am glad I did. I also purchased the optional rear speakers and sub-woofer. This is paired with a LG CX. I have my own theater now! Other than wanting Sony level quality, I went with the HTA5000 for three major reasons. I wanted Dolby Atmos. I like the ability to expand the sound bar with the optional speakers and sub-woofer. Finally, I wanted the multiple HDMI 2.1 ports. I ran out of HDMI ports on my TV, but this sound bar allows me to hook up my PS5 to the bar and still get the benefits of HDMI 2.1 for my PS5.

A Must Have for Acoustic Center Sync
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds fantastic and does a decent job of creating a Dolby Atmos-esque environment by itself. That said, highly recommend pairing it with some rear satellite speakers for a truly immersive experience. We chose this one to pair with our A80J Bravia TV to utilized the acoustic center sync capability -- otherwise we may have gone with another, less expensive, option.

Dissapointed

To many issues with connection issues. Loses connection to much till it finally gave out. Sound bar froze and cant do anything with it right after warranty expires. Not built to last.
