Good Purchase
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

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.

Great sound quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgraded from an older version and this one works so much better in our very large gameroom. Excellent sound. Only downside is its too long to fit under our 65 in tv so we had to do the brackets on the front and for now it just hangs there. Hate that part

Sony soundbar atmos??
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.not sure how they consider this an "atmos" soundbar, it doesnt have height speakers, there are 3 speakers in the bar! sound quality is good overall and better than the TV speakers. sub is good, no issues with wireless connecting or staying connected. overall decent soundbar but labeling it atmos is a bit much.

Posted .Hi Paperboy72,
Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the HTA5000. We're glad that you like the sound quality and connectivity of the soundbar. Your feedback about the Atmos function is greatly appreciated.
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. To fully enjoy the capabilities of the soundbar, we recommend the optional subwoofer and rears accessories (SA-SW5,SA-SW3,SA-RS3S).
Hope this helps. In case you need further assistance, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

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.

Nice sound bar . High price .
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like it . Price is up there . Needs more adjustments . Was surprised there was no equalizer . Needs the sub and rear speakers for the best sound . The center channel sync with a Bravia TV is awesome . Clear voice without drowning out the rest of the surround .

Amazing sound at affordable price
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Paired this with my new XR-77A80K and it sounds amazing. Plenty of setting options but not too many to make them usless. I do have a buzzing problem when i try to use my TV has the center channel speaker, but i think thats the TV. Recommend if you dont want to pay a ton for the next level up but still want a great soundbar.
