Posted .Hi Newtv,
Perfect! We're glad that you are enjoying the sound quality of the soundbar. 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. If you want to expand your audio system, please take a look at our optional subwoofer and rears accessories (SA-SW5,SA-SW3,SA-RS3S). Thank you for choosing Sony!

Full sound for your home without "Karen" getting m
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wow, this "little " sound bar is amazing. Big full sound. I dont have the matching wireless rears or subwoofer but i dont really need them. Im in a townhouse apartment so i cant really use a big powered sub to its full extent, but i dont need to worry because this is full enough for now. Its not booming bass but for regular dialog and music play back im highly impressed. I will at some point get the rears and sub but im in now hurry. If youve got fussy "Karen or Kyle" as your neighbors this bar is fantastic at fulfilling my sound needs without giving that neighbor the chance to call the office. Im happy and shes angery about something else now lol.

Posted .Hi Grimmis,
Amazing! We're glad that the sound quality of the soundbar is perfect for your home entertainment setup. 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!

Extremely dissapointed
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was highly anticipating the delivery of my new Sony HT-A5000, only to be completely let down. Prior to purchasing this, my 50" XJ90 Bravia TV was sitting on top of a Sony HT-XT1 Sound Bar/Platform. Since my new TV was capable of handling all of the new sound fields, (Dolby Atmos) I wanted to step up. Well, to be blunt, this $1000 sound bar has no depth to the sound whatsoever, and is not worth the price tag. Sounds real tinny even with bass maxed out. My HT-XT1 sounded way better. And Dolby Atmos, I am not impressed. I watched two movies (Dune & Jungle Cruise), and could not hear anything special. I guess to get the full experience, you have to get the sub and the rear speakers. Well, that's not going to happen. Unfortunately this will get packed up and returned to the store.

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Paired it up with my new XR65X90L, it’s amazing how just by itself the immersive sound field mode gives you a very decent surround experience. Can’t wait to complete the setup with the SA-RS5 satellites and SA-SW5 sub.

Wrong accessories
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The soundbar itself is amazing! I found it elsewhere and no have one and I love it. Deep bass, great Atmos experience! However…. I ordered one from Best Buy recently through the Best Buy app. It’s was labeled “excellent condition” I have made purchases for open box before and haven’t really had any major problems. This one being excellent, was supposed to have all original parts and accessories. Occasionally there might be a replacement that is acceptable., But generally open box excellent has all original parts and accessories. This one showed up after waiting over a week with a Sony TV remote that was not compatible with the sound bar itself. The original sound bar remote was nowhere to be found. Somebody just stuck some random Sony TV remote in there, assuming it was geek squad. Very disappointed with that experience as I had to return it and order it elsew. But I do want to say now that I have one, the A5000 is perfect for my size living room. I love it.!
