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

Superb Soundbar for The Money!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This soundbar is amazing at this price point. I was skeptical with the negative reviews. I am very happy with the sound quality. But I will add you definitley want to buy the rear surround speakers and the sub when you make this purchase. I bought them all at once which i what this review is based on. Set up is super easy. I have mine paired with a Sony XR-65X90J TV.

Good quality but hard to mount
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent sound and easy to use with TV. I was frustrated with options for mounting it beneath the TV on a pull-down mounting rack--there were no good options. The case is designed to be mounted only in a fixed position on the wall or on a table top; I had to jury rig the mounting on the moveable rack.

Posted .Hi ThomasP, We apologize for any inconvenience. When connected to a BRAVIA TV with Acoustic Centre Sync, both the soundbar and the TV become the centre speaker in your home cinema system. Furthermore, connecting the soundbar with optional wireless rear speakers2, the TV speaker plays the centre channel role with your soundbar as part of the 360 Spatial Sound Mapping setup. This enables sound to precisely match what’s on the screen for clearer dialogue and a more immersive experience.
The HT-A3000 immerses you in authentic surround sound with a centre speaker for clear dialogue and a built-in dual subwoofer for impressive power. With optional rear speakers it supports 360 Spatial Sound Mapping too, so you can lose yourself in your favorite movies, TV shows and music.

Great sound bar if you have a sony TV.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The integration with a Sony TV is absolutely seamless. The voice mode along with Sony's acoustic center sync gives a lot of clarity with the dialogue. Bass performance is also decent. Never felt the lack of a subwoofer in a comparatively small space.

Thanks for choosing Sony!

A basic soundbar with room for refinements
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Strong, loud and clear vocals, but weak on the bass side. Integrates well with the Sony BRAVIA XR X90L. But, struggles to reconnect with WiFi when I manually power cycled with the remote. Keeps giving the 'connection to WiFi lost' prompt which I had to dismiss. For a $500 bar, it could have done better.

Posted .Hi WCChn,
Thank you for your thorough review of the Sony HT-A3000 soundbar. We greatly appreciate your insights and are pleased to hear that you found the vocals to be strong, loud, and clear, and that the soundbar integrates seamlessly with your Sony BRAVIA XR X90L. We understand that the bass performance may not meet everyone's expectations. To enhance your bass experience, you might consider adding a compatible subwoofer, such as the Sony SA-SW3 or SA-SW5, which can be wirelessly paired with the HT-A3000 for a fuller, deeper bass.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the WiFi reconnection issue when manually power cycling with the remote. This is not the experience we strive to deliver. To resolve this, please ensure that your soundbar's firmware is up to date, as updates often include enhancements and bug fixes. If the problem persists, you may want to reset your network settings.

The Good & The Bad
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The product is very nice; however, I’m still unsure what happened with the first soundbar setup. After roughly a week or so following the initial install, the soundbar started to malfunction (e.g., disconnect from the tv, turn on randomly when the tv was off, etc.). I contacted Best Buy several times to report the issues & soon was informed there were issues upon initial soundbar install (e.g., missing cords, no remote, etc.). I do wish the Best Buy crew doing the initial install had been forthcoming & would have made me aware of the issues from the start, but they sadly did not. After a few wks & multiple calls, the soundbar has been replaced with a new one which seems to be working well. Overall…very satisfied with the product but extremely disappointed that the crew performing the initial soundbar install did not tell me of the issues. The gentleman performing the most recent install of the replacement soundbar, however, was fantastic.
