I bought this a few weeks ago. Paired with a Sony Bravia TV it really puts out immersive sound. Dolby Atmos works well, although I don’t have rear speakers yet so I can I cannot get the full effect. Streaming music works well, especially with spacial audio. Earc connection with a Sony TV is seamless, as is the setup. All in all a great soundbar and I wish I would have gotten it sooner....

Best sound bar I’ve ever heard. But due to lack of knowledge on Sonys support staff it took over 3 hours to have it working

Bought the HT-A5000 during the holiday season and wanted to hold of giving a review until I could put through its paces. 3 months later I must say THIS is one heck of a sounbar!! To any average listener this fits the bill!! The sounds are rich and fluid and once you pair with with a Sony's subwoofers meant for it and equip the surround modules you got one heck of a package!! About the only reason I have it 4 stats is not a knock on the performance of the HT-A5000, BUT rather what it misses compared to its bigger brother the HT-A7000. I believe Sony SHOULD equip the HT-A5000 with APP support to give users a bot more control on adjusting some sound levels like the HT-A7000. You're given some adjustment freedom but not much. If Sony is listening PLEASE GIVE THE HT-A5000 APP SUPPORT!! However, in my opinion this was not a deal breaker when we purchased the bar as I was impressed by the overall sound quality. Still Sony can do this with an extensive software update and I HOPE they can and bring a unified app experience like the HT-A7000. For us normal listeners THIS soundbar rocks!! Don't overlook the minor omission of the app support as the price point is a little better on the wallet and in terms of size a bit more manageable compared to the HT-A7000. You won't regret the HT-A5000!!... Read More  Hide
