Excellent Soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This sound bar sounds really good. Made my whole TV watching experience a lot better. I only got the small SW3 sub but it is more than enough for my needs. I live in a condo so I can't have too much bass that would disturb my neighbors. More expensive than other offerings but I would always go for the quality of Sony products over others.

Posted .Hi quaman26,
You made the right choice with the Sony HTA7000! 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. Thanks for choosing Sony!

Its Good not Great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly the sound is good but given the cost of the whole sony system I dont think it’s worth the whole retail price. If you can get this second hand or heavily discounted them yes go for them.

Absolutely blown away - get the sub if you can
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Replaced an entire Sonos setup (arc, rears, gen 3 sub) with this + the 300w sub and it sounds even better than that entire system. Couldn't be more excited to eventually add rear speakers to this beast.

A little disappointed
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The one thing I noticed was how good the bar looks and how will out together structurally wise it is. But my biggest disappointment about the system is the volume. I have to turn the volume all the way up to at least 22 just so I can get a decent impact of a movie that I’m watching. I also have the Sony Z9F and that soundbar impact on volume 13 with base and rear speaker sounds better than the Sony HT-A7000. Now once I turn A7000 the volume up to 25 and you it really fills the room. I shouldn’t have to turn the volume that high to feel it power. Especially when I spend all this money on the rear speakers and the big subwoofer separately. I tried all the tricks to try to get the sound louder. I even looked at YouTube videos and trouble shoot and nothing has changed. It’s m thinking about getting my money back.

Posted .Hi WilliamH,
Thank you for your time writing this review. We regret to hear if you find the volume of the soundbar and optional rear speakers/subwoofer not as loud as you would have liked and it hasn't performed to your standards. Allow us to help you and turn your experience around. If the audio coming through is low or you are not hearing any audio from the wireless rear speakers for the speaker system, there are a couple of items that will need to be checked:
• The Rear speaker plays surround sound as part of the multi-channel sound or processed from the 2-channel sound. However, because of the characteristics of the rear speaker, the sound may be low depending on the playback source.
• Depending on the combination of the setting of SOUND FIELD and input signal, surround sound processing may not work effectively. The surround effect may be subtle, depending on the program or disc.
• Set the night mode to off then check the wireless connection status in [Settings] - [Wireless Speaker Settings] - [Wireless speaker status check] on the app screen.
• Make sure to run Sound Field Optimization so that the audio system can calibrate its performance to your environment, and that it sounds like it was engineered to be in your room.
For further troubleshooting assistance, please follow the steps provided in this link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00274538
Also, please make sure to update the firmware of your soundbar and optional rear speakers/subwoofer to the latest version as it includes key features, applications, bug fixes, and feature improvements.

Almost a true surround sound experience!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love it. love it. love it. It's not a perfect surround sound but works superbly when paired with the subwoofer + wireless rear speakers. The whole setup for SoundBar + Subwoofer + Wireless Rear Speakers cost me nearly 2000$ but I feel like it's worth it. Only time will tell though.

Very Good.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Has a great sound. It is best to compliment this Soundbar with a Good Bass, As I latter did. As well I had some Rear Speakers to add to the High Peaks. I researched this with other Sound Bars Available & this is what I decided upon with the recommendations I reviewed.

All in on this Sony Perfect system for me!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the 5.1 version and this one is just that much better. The sound is round vs. more block like. The remote and sound modes are better though the Sony Sound engine, Dolby Mode, and DTS modes offer the same fine tuning to my preferences. SSE for live tv, and sports. Dolby Speaker Virtualizer for music. DTS Neural: X makes all the movies pop like so very good. These mode are all great. The extra HDMI ports, along with analog input for my turntable and DAC make this my absolute ideal solution with my Sony Bravia OLED. It’s just a delightful experience in every way. I’m glad upgraded and have the larger Sub and Rear speakers for this. I’m all in on Sony!

sound very low
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I gave 4-star only for built quality of the soundbar HT-A7000 and the connectivity. Worst thing is there is no mobile app to control the settings of soundbar , subwoofer, surround etc. Looks like Sony has Bravia Connect app thats works only new soundbar 8 and 9. not compatible with HT-A7000.

Open box steal
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this open box and on sale. Definitely worth the $600. I dont if i would pay 1200 for it, but Definitely 800 or 900. Sounds amazing even without the seperate subwoofer. The sounds are well balanced and the highs, lows, and mids are clearly distinguished, and can go from a quiet talking scene to an action or musical scene flawlessly. It also has a very wide soundstage which is great for small or medium livingrooms and bedrooms. Large rooms would probably be better woth the subwoofer, but thats really the only downside. The bar itself can still fill a large room with rich sound. Music sounds amazing, though i haven't had a chance to use their 360 audio.

Save your money!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony A80K 77” with S-Synch and 10 yo Sony STR-DN840 7.2 with Polk speakers is my current legacy system. Despite the majority of reviews rating Samsung Q990C higher for both sound and value thanks to significantly lower price (especially with Sony RS5 rear speakers and SW5 bass), i opted for the Sony largely because I wanted the convenience of a single Sony remote and take advantage of S-Synch turning my 77” TV into a massive center speaker. After multiple attempts with two different HT A7000, rebooting both devices, repeatedly disconnecting the 3.5 mm jack as well as hdmi 2.1 cords, the S-sync fails to work. Research online, and you’d be hard pressed to find any post 2021 Sony OLED owner able to get S-Sync to function. Without this synchronicity, why would I (anyone) pay at least 50% more for the Sony system over the Samsung 990C? If you want to spend more money, consider Sonos or the holy grail of sound bars, the Nakamichi Dragon. Frankly my 10 yo 7.2 channel Sony system works really well such that the upward firing Dolby Atmos provides incremental immersion. Unless you install ceiling speakers, the relatively tiny upward firing speakers of the most popular sound bars might not be worth the $1,000+ if you already have a decent 7.2 legacy AV system. If you don’t have a surround system, sure, get atmos, just expect for S-Sync to work and accept you’ve overpaid for a system not as highly rated as the Samsung, Sonos or Nakamichi.

Posted .Hi MuyBen, We apologize for any inconvenience that you experienced with syncing the HTA7000 soundbar to your Sony A80K. Unfortunately, you cannot use your A80K as a center channel speaker for the HT-A7000. Currently, BRAVIA Acoustic Center Sync mode is only compatible with 2021 BRAVIA TV models such as the Z9J series, A90J series, A80J, and X95J series and with the following 2022 models: X90K, A80K, A90K, A90J, A95K, X95K, and Z9K.
Although you cannot utilize the Acoustic Center Sync feature, you'll still be able to enjoy the new level of immersion that envelops you in 7.1.2 channel surround sound with multiple speakers, a built-in subwoofer and advanced audio technologies, optional rear speakers that supports 360 Spatial Sound Mapping with your new Sony HTA7000.

Best choice to pair with a Sony Bravia XR TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.On par with or better the Samsung Q950A (which I replaced with this) in surround sound quality, but if you have a Sony Bravia XR the Sony HT-A7000 is the clear winner in the way it integrates with the TV for on-screen setup and control via the TV remote.
