Pricy but Quality
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A bit pricy but super clear audio! Though it doesn't need it the soundbar is even better with a subwoofer. And somehow even better with the atmos surround speakers!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

High end Sony Soundbar with shiny plastic top
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to set-up. Superb sound quality. However, I have my soundbar sitting in front of the TV screen on an AV console. The shiny black plastic on the top of the soundbar reflects the TV image which is distracting.

Beware of open box excellent condition item conten
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this as an open box excellent condition. It is missing the remote and wall mounts. The description for excellent condition open box indicates that it includes all items or substitutes. The store staff indicated that it only refers to the soundbar itself? Quite misleading when you read what is supposed to be included by best buys own standards. The item itself seems fine. This is more a policy review.
