Posted .Hi Karina,
Amazing! We're thrilled that you are enjoying the sound quality of the soundbar. You also made the right choice in adding the optional wireless subwoofer (SA-SW3 or SA-SW5). 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!

Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While there are cheaper options out there, this well built and sturdy Sony wireless soundbar provides significantly better sound than the TV speakers and doesn’t require a bunch of audio equipment to produce it.

Solid Soundbar at a great price.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The soundbar has performed well and after a recent firmware release, there have been no issues with connectivity to WiFi. Even without a separate bass, there is enough lows to satisfy if you do not need room shattering low end. Dialog is crystal clear.

Good when paired with sub and rear speakers
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This soundbar integrates really well with Sony Bravia TVs. Setup and use is super simple. It also easily pairs with supported subwoofer and rear speakers, which is a must. As a stand-alone soundbar it is far from impressive, but is pretty incredible when paired with the sub and rear speakers. I also have not been able to get the tv as a center speaker to work. Honestly the price seems pretty high for a system that is only great when adding all the optional add ons.

No sub, get rear speakers
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds are so good. Atmos effects can be better, it might be a small space thing. Get the rear speakers. Sub is mot really needed specially in smallspaces.
