Awesome Sound for being the Little Brother
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this on Black Friday for $400 off to pair with our Sony Bravia 77" XR A80K OLED. We aren't looking to shake the house with theater sound (I'm confident this soundbar can do that). Sound when using the TV as a SCenter Channel brings a really good 3-D Dolby sound without the use of rear speakers, and the bass is more than adequate without a sub. If you want to rattle the china in the kitchen, you may want the HT-A7000, or this unit with a subwoofer. If not, this soundbar delivers more sound, with rich mass and side firing mid-ranges that immerse you in the show as Sony claims.

Saves Space
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound quality. My screening room isn't large and I like it because I do not need to take up space with a subwoofer. The wall still vibrate with sound when it's turned up. Great.

Really good product
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is amazing for a soundbar, and the surround is impressive. The only thing that bothers me is the delay in volume control when using ARC.

Sony soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unbelievably simple to add to a high end Sony big screen UHD tv. Great sound, one remote, fully integrated with the television in minutes. I added the subwoofer separately to make it even better.

It's just OK.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This sound bar is just "OK". It works, it does what it's supposed to do, but it doesn't "Wow" me. I'm not sure it was worth the price, but it wasn't awful enough for me to take it back.

One of the best for the price
||Posted .

Posted .Hi ShadowOps86,
Amazing! We're thrilled that you are enjoying the sound quality of the soundbar. You also made the right choice in adding the supported subwoofer and rear speakers (SA-SW5,SA-SW3,SA-RS3S). 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!
