    As far as soundbars go... this one does a fairly decent job on movies - however this does not give you real atmos, only well placed dedicated speakers can do that. On music... imagine a 1980's boombox - that's the sound. That was a deal breaker for me. For this kind of money just invest in a 5.1 receiver and speakers. I spent less and got MUCH more that way.

    I have an inexpensive tv without a sound bar and I think it has better quality sound but that may be because I am in a smaller room with a low ceiling. My recommendation is average but based on a room with high ceiling.

      Hi KevinC, We are glad that you now have a perfect soundbar for your 65" BRAVIA. With your new Sony HT-A3000 soundbar, you will get the full effect of Dolby Atmos and DTS:X with Sony’s Vertical Surround Engine, S-Force PRO Front Surround and 360 Spatial Sound Mapping. Thanks to Sony’s virtual surround technology, this soundbar can position sound in vertical space – so you can experience 3D audio without the need for in-ceiling or up-firing speakers. As well as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, Vertical Surround Engine lends a more realistic, multi-dimensional sound to other formats too. It also supports 360 Reality Audio, which puts you in the middle of the concert, studio session, or whatever you’re listening to, for a totally immersive experience. Thank you for your purchase. Enjoy! Vincent Sony_US

    Spent more time screaming at this soundbar rather than enjoying it. HUGE connection issues to my Sony television. Sound quality is fine, loved the voice on dialogue feature but unfortunately will have to return

    The tv is great. The delivery and time getting it delivered was really bad. Late, sloppy non returns when of contact, etc. The installers for the tv and sound bar never came and supposedly the money is being returned. I don't care about a return I wanted a tv that I don't have to use two remotes to use.

    I expected a richer sound from this product. It is also 5" deep so unless it is mounted carefully it sticks out 2-3 " in front of theTV screen. My sticks out and the Geek Squad mounted it :(

    Not that good for its price

    The sound is not that clear and the sound field that is marketed makes the whole audio sound muddled. Dialogue is louder than other sound effects/music losing the impact of explosions or the feel of a scene
