Love this soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this soundbar! I replaced a relatively new Bose 600 SB that had trouble syncing with my Sony Bravia. This Sony SB is great for my room. It has a decent bass and the center tweeter is not tinny sounding as was the Bose. It doesn’t have the upward speakers but in my room that actually is a plus because it delivers great sound. The 360* spatial surround is awesome.

||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony HT-A3000 delivers clear dialogue and rich, balanced sound in a sleek package. Its 3.1-channel setup and Dolby Atmos support create a wide soundstage, though the height effects are virtual rather than true overhead. Setup is quick with HDMI eARC, and it pairs seamlessly with Sony BRAVIA TVs. Bass is decent but lacks deep punch unless you add Sony’s optional subwoofer or rear speakers. With strong clarity, easy integration, and upgrade flexibility, it’s a great midrange choice for everyday TV, movies, and streaming. Pros: Crisp dialogue, clean design, expandability Cons: Limited bass, no true height speakers, single HDMI input

Posted .Thank you for sharing your incredibly detailed and insightful review of the HT-A3000 soundbar, JTBa!
We are delighted to hear that you are enjoying the core strengths of the A3000, particularly the clear dialogue and rich, balanced sound it delivers in such a sleek package. It's rewarding to know that our 3.1-channel setup and virtual Dolby Atmos are successfully creating a wide soundstage for your TV, movies, and streaming. We specifically engineered this soundbar for quick integration, so we're pleased to hear that the setup with HDMI eARC was smooth and the seamless pairing with your BRAVIA TV is providing a great user experience.
We also appreciate your honest and valuable feedback on the "Cons," specifically regarding the bass performance and height effects. You are absolutely correct: while the soundbar provides decent bass on its own, its design focuses on expandability and delivering a clear midrange. For users seeking that deep punch and true overhead immersion, adding one of our optional wireless subwoofers and rear speakers is the perfect way to unlock the system's full potential.
Thank you again for providing a thorough breakdown of the HT-A3000 as a "great midrange choice" with excellent clarity and flexibility.
Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team

Not a bad choice if you’re limited for space.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this particular model because I’m limited with space. It does a decent job and has solid range given its size. If you have the space, I’d suggest the 5000 or 7000 model for the true Atmos/up firing speakers. If you’re limited for space but have a healthy budget, shoot for the premium HTA 9 system. The HTA-3000 is fine, just spring for the added subwoofer & rear speakers.

Great sound quality and bass
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is in my opinion the best soundbar choice in terms of affordability, sound quality, bass and immersiveness. I have it set up in front of the TV and it gives great sound coverage without the need for a rear speaker kit and the bass is deep enough to fill the room. If i had the TV in a larger/taller room and I was sitting farther from the TV i might recommend a subwoofer but it isn’t imperative. There are cheaper options out there but this is a great entry level option that covers all the basics if you don’t mind a more premium price.

GREAT SOUNDBAR IN EVERY WAY, EXCEPT FOR...
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is one big bold bodacious soundbar! It delivers great sound clarity at whatever volume it's set at. From a technical standpoint, it's excellent... but with regard to its compatibility with the Sony Bravia TV, from a design standpoint, it is only compatible when the Bravia TV is wall mounted above the HTA3000. When the soundbar & TV are placed on a flat surface with the soundbar in front of Bravia TV, the remote control fails to turn the Bravia TV on or off. How can that be? Here's how. The brackets that serve as the Bravia TV's base raise the TV up by 1-1/4," So far so good. But the low laying soundbar does not lay low enough. The soundbar is 2-1/2" in height. When it's placed on a flat surface in front of the Bravia TV, it is 1-1/4" higher than the bottom of the Bravia TV, just enough height to block the signal from the remote control from making contact with the remote receiver situated at the bottom of the Bravia TV. If you switch it around, and place the soundbar behind the Bravia TV, the remote control will indeed turn the TV on & off. But with the Bravia TV lifted up just 1-1/4" by its brackets, and the soundbar height being 2-1/2", exactly one half of the soundbar is behind the the Bravia TV, which needless to say, impacts the sound quality. This design flaw is easily rectified by using brackets that lift the Bravia TV up 2-1/2" from the flat surface that both components are place upon. But here's the catch. SONY DOES NOT PRODUCE SUCH BRACKETS. The devil is in the details!

Or you can add optional rear speakers to enjoy 360 Spatial Sound Mapping with multiple phantom speakers. Thank you for choosing Sony. Erin

Good standalone unit.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds really good for only being a soundbar. I am using it in the gaming/movie room with my sony a80j oled. Sounds good in the room and still not overpowering in the rest of the house, for loved ones. I feel the bass is goood enough, so i will not add the subwoofer. I am thinking about adding the surround speakers.

Sony makes great cheaper soundbar for the money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great soundbar for the money. Has some great lows and highs. This was a lower costing soundbar. I had issues installing it on my sony bravia. The instructions dont tell you a thing. Took 2 days to figure out that i had to go into my sony bravia tv settings and turn on the Hdmi that i had to plug it into made specifically for the sound bar. I was getting so annoyed with this. So just a warning if you have a sony tv.

Works great with matching subwoofer. No distortion at all. Also when you use hdmi connection, it does have its own menu screen on your tv to set it up. Very simple to use. It will turn on and off with your tv with hdmi connection using your tv remote. No more multiple remotes needed, unless you have external cable or dish of some kind.

Great Sound for Stand-alone Audio
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The 3d audio, depth of bass, and crispness that this soundbar has is continuing to impress me during movies and while I game. We'll eventually add subwoofers, but this unit is great as a stand-alone audio setup, and is more than loud enough gor our use. Only gripe may be some of the UI is a little co fusing at first, and the remote can feel redundant if paired with a Sony TV
