Good quality if you like Sony
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This soundbar is an excellent addition to your Sony Bravia TV! It pairs seamlessly with the Sony SA-RS5 rear speakers as well as the Sony SA-SW5 subwoofer, which I highly recommend if you want to experience more of a movie theater sound environment.

Most Versatile Sound Bar.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing Dolby Atmos sound bar. Has more inputs than the Arc and Bose 900. I have a weird setup. Sometimes I want audio from a computer other times from the TV. The Bluetooth from the PC doesn't have a delay or anything.

Best on the market.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hands down the best sound bar on the market. I’ve had this sound bar for about 60 days now and it has met every expectation that I have had. Had a 7.2 Klipsch home theatre set up prior and although this sound bar is not better than that, it was a good replacement for it. Highly recommend for anybody looking for a sound bar.

Posted .Hi Roomba, Awesome! Thank you for your recommendation! 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-A7000, make sure to toggle on the "Immersive AE" remote button to upscale the entire audio systems' performance. Additionally, 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! -Carl

Sony sound bar
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In all fairness, I would of kept this soundbar if it was what I was starting out with. I have a A/V system currently at home that I was going to replace it with. This sound bar was 95% close to what I currently have. That alone says a lot about how good the sound is on this sound bar. The only thing missing was the LFE bass. But that’s a lot to ask for in a sound bar and sub.

Sound from every direction
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the best sound bars ever. Works perfectly when you pair it with one of Sony’s Bravia TVs. The sound bounces off the wall very well.

Not very good overall.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchase this bar in the Magnolia combo with a rear speakers and subwoofer. I was trying to find something to replace my old Samsung sound plus with a 10 inch subwoofer and rear speakers. Bar was not better than my old 4 year old bar. It had nowhere near the amount of base I thought it would. Seem to be less than my old sound bar. Sound was clear but the bar didn’t get as loud as my old sound bar either even at max volume. I had a new Sony A80 J tv with this bar and I experienced sound cut issues that I did not experience with my old bar. Even after going back to my old sound bar with the new TV still no sound cut issues. Just seems very expensive to be having as many issues with it with it being paired to a TV of the same manufacture and they are designed to work together. Also it just does not have anywhere near enough bass for me.

Sony HT- A7000 Sound Bar
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Searching for a quality TV sound system subsequent to a new LG TV purchase (our existing sound system did not work - age related). The Sony A7000 sound bar coupled with the wireless subwoofer certainly exceeds our expectations. We are considering the wireless surround sound rear speakers as an additon to the experience.

Pricy but Quality

It’s not cheap but quality never is
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was the last addition to my home theatre setup and while not as important, in my opinion, as the television. Adds a layer of immersion that was really lacking. It’s something you really have to experience to fully appreciate. I have it paired with the 200W sub and the rear satellite speakers which are not optional in my opinion for the full experience

Geat full sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this Soundbar - paired with the wireless rears and a sub. Theater sounds great separation. Only 4 stars because the voice channel is a little muffled for my liking. Even with clear voice on it seem harder to understand than a dedicated center channel.

Essential component to a complete home theater
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this soundbar as part of a special "Home Theater" package deal. That's the way to go!! Get it all at once (TV + soundbar + subwoofer + rears), and that's everything you need. By the way, this is Sony's top-of-the-line flagship soundbar – so you can't go wrong choosing this one! Also, "plays nice" with Sony TV and connects seemlessly and without hassles.

Posted .Hi jonbozeman Congratulalions on purchasing your new soundbar. We are pleased to hear that you are enjoying your new soundbar. The HT-A7000 has 7.1.2 channels, two up-firing speakers for overhead sound, two beam tweeters and five front speakers for wider surround and a built-in dual subwoofer for deep bass. With Vertical Surround Engine and S-Force PRO Front Surround, HT-A7000 creates virtual surround sound that comes from all around you so you can fully enjoy the thrill of Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X®. Thanks to Sony’s virtual surround technology, the soundbar can position sound in vertical space—so you can experience 3D audio without the need for in-ceiling speakers. As well as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, Vertical Surround Engine lends a more realistic, multi-dimensional sound to other formats, too. Thank you for choosing Sony. Erin

Highly recommend for a large room
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to use, especially when connected to a Sony TV. This is probably overkill for a small room - we have it set up in a 25x25ft room and it fills the whole thing with sound perfectly. Watched Mad Max Fury Road on this to really test it out, it was insane.
