Decent sound-bar
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros: I like the overall sound produced with SW3 subwoofer, I would say it provides a decent movie experience. Cons: Mids are not good, need to crank up the volume much higher to get clear voices when watching movies. Overall it gives a better home theater experience to someone who had been using basic 5-6 years old sound-bar system but nowhere close to traditional 2.1 or 3.1 HT system.

Posted .Hi SamRVA,
Thank you for the review and we're glad you like the sound quality of the soundbar for your movie experience. 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!
Regards,
David

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.

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 .

Good soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have the bar in a relatively small room, without sub-woofer or extra speakers. It is nice and has some good features, but does not compare with a comparable Sonos soundbar I have in my family room.

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.

Open box winner!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was an open box purchase. I have it connected to my new Sony 85" TV with Directv. I'm not very tech savvy, but this sound bar couldn't be any easier to use. The TV matches up to it so that one remote will do everything. And best of all, the price was 50% off the MSRP!

Single bar that doesn't comprise audio quality!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This soundbar is amazing! I am using it in a student center so I wanted to minimize the number of pieces without sacrificing sound quality. The fact that you can start with a single unit and fill a large room with high-quality sound is astounding. It works great paired with a TV that supports ARC.
