Posted .Hi Jetsy61,
Thank you for sharing your positive feedback on the HT-A3000 soundbar!
We're delighted to hear that you're enjoying the sound quality. Thanks for noticing that the HT-A3000 truly shines when paired with our optional wireless subwoofers (like the SA-SW3 or SA-SW5) and rear speakers (SA-RS3S or SA-RS5). This modular design allows users to create a more immersive surround sound experience, and we're glad you've found that to be the case.
We also appreciate you drawing a comparison to the HT-A7000. While they offer different levels of immersion and features, it's great to hear that you find consistency in the quality of the Sony soundbar experience across our range.
Thanks for choosing Sony!
Sincerely,
Jenn | Sony Social Media Team.
Great for medium living area and sony ecosystem
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I took my time selecting what was best for my living area. While I considered the HTA-5000 and HTA-7000, I found that for the price and for the features, the HTA-3000 was the best fit. The install was smooth. Easy to hookup via the HDMI e Arc to my Sony TV. Easy to setup. Nothing to really fiddle with to tweak the sound. Just Plug and Play. It can get plenty loud, but i keep the level around 20 to 30 depending on what I watch. It may be higher if I am using Chrome-cast for music. The builtin sub-woofer was plenty for the space I have it in. I have a solid wood cabinet that it sits on, it helps amplify the lower end sound very well. I plan on getting the Sony surround speakers at a later date to complete the Sony 360 sound field, but I do like that it performs well without having to be compelled to buy the accessories.

Not what I was looking for
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really wanted to love this sound bar. The fact that it synchs seamlessly with my Sony A80J OLED TV was a huge plus. However, the best words I can use to describe this product is bad balance. I was looking for a stand alone sound bar that could deliver clear and crisp dialogue while delivering deep bass when needed. The HT A3000 delivers the bass, but it's not the same deep bass you get from a stand alone subwoofer - which is to be expected. But that was not the biggest issue for me. The bigger issue was the muddled bass that can drown out the dialogue, and this is even with the acoustic center synch plugged into my TV. I gave it a good 3 weeks to really test it out before ultimately returning it and exchanging it for the Bose 600 smart sound bar - The jury is still out on that one too. I think if you can afford it, the Sony HT A5000 is the better option if you want a little thump with better sounding dialogue due to its upward firing speakers. But quite honestly, experimenting with these mid range sound bars has made me really appreciate how good the speakers on my A80J sound just by themself.

Posted .Hi Yuly,
Thank you for the review and we're sorry to hear the bass sound issue of the soundbar. Please allow us to help you and turn this into a better experience. The sound quality may vary depending on the source, connection, and content you are playing.
The subwoofer is a speaker for playing bass sounds. Sound from the subwoofer may be hard to hear when the input source has less bass sound, such as TV broadcast. Check this article below and see the third troubleshooting to resolve your issue.

Sony Soundbar with Strong Bass, Maybe Too Strong
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The soundbar delivers strong audio, but the bass is overpowering. When you raise the volume for clearer dialogue, the bass suddenly becomes too loud, forcing you to constantly readjust the volume. The listening experience can feel unbalanced because of this. When it comes to connectivity the soundbar offers seamless connectivity to Sony TVs, which is a big plus.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback, Vinay!
We are pleased to hear that the HT-A3000 soundbar delivers strong audio and offers seamless connectivity to Sony TVs, which is a feature we proudly emphasize.
We sincerely apologize for the frustration you are experiencing with the bass performance. We understand that the overpowering bass that requires constant volume readjustment when trying to achieve clearer dialogue is making the listening experience feel unbalanced.
For enhanced dialogue clarity and better bass control, we recommend exploring the settings available in the Home/Setup menu of the soundbar (accessible via the remote control). You should be able to manually adjust the subwoofer/bass level independently, as well as try the Voice Mode feature, which is designed to specifically isolate and enhance spoken dialogue frequencies without boosting the overall volume too much.
We hope these adjustments help balance the audio to your satisfaction. Thank you again for choosing Sony!

Comes on for no reason.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is great in my BEDROOM. There is a Sony software/hardware issue. Sound bar is connected with e-arc hdmi to my Sony Bravia tv. After shutting tv off which also controls the sound bar, the sound bar comes back on for a few brief seconds and scrolls MUTING on the front of the bar. This is my bedroom tv. Just when I fall asleep the sound bar comes on for no reason. The TV remains off. Several people are complaining about this issue.
