The purchase & delivery were swift, impressive, really. We bought from Sen Heng, Sony Subwoofer & Sony Surround Speakers. They connected in a jiffy. If we only let the Soundbar on, the voices became crystal clear than just having the sound coming from TV. We love this soundbar because the sound is just right!

The soundstage of the soundbar is solid. The only downside is there is no Dolby Atmos effect when airplay from my iPhone yet. I enjoyed a lot of songs with Dolby Atmos effect from iPhone on my Sony earbuds. But can't do the same on this soundbar.

Having compared with so many brands and models? I have no regret choosing the Sony HT-A7000. Worth the money spent. Fantastic to listen to just music or watch movies with great acoustic amplification. Love it!

Bought this item open box recently in good condition at Best Buy. There was an issue with a few of the speakers and Sony's tech II agents determined it needed repair. Sony sent me a box after verifying that it was under warranty. Unfortunately the generic term on the paper receptacle stated "satisfactory " and not "good". This is just a generic term that prints on the receipt. Everything was fine until one call center agent that was not trained on Sony and Best Buy relations decided this was an "as is " item and didn't qualify for a warranty. I spent hours on the phone with Best Buy and Sony disputing this. Best Buy completely supports the fact that they do not sell as is items without warranty. It's either open box or it's brand new, both have the manufacturer warranty. This one Sony agent ruined my Christmas present and I ended up having to pay The Repair facility before receiving my sound bar back. I really hope that Sony spends more time with training and teaching their people proper warranty information. Best Buy absolutely does not sell items without a Manufacturers warranty. I just went in the store today and spoke with the manager of the store purchased it and he said the same thing. He was shocked that Sony did this. I hope once I get this repaired and a working order it is the great sound bar that will replace my A-5000. I Have a lot of Sony equipment, And after this experience, I think I might start moving toward Samsung unfortunately. Hopefully I'll hear something from Sony although I have not heard anything from anybody high up.

I bought this about a month ago and I am very pleased with the purchase. I have tried multiple sound bars in the past - and came away disappointed. Even the Xose Ultra when I tried in the store didnt blow me away. This did - and it was just as good once we got it home. Highly recommend.

I got this sound bar last year around June and even by itself it's very impressive but once I added the rear speakers and sub woofer it was like being in a imax theater at home! The only problem is that for some reason the sound bar keeps disconnecting from my tv like every 45 minutes and than reconnects immediately which is very annoying. After about 3 disconnects to fails to reconnect and just turns off which can be a pain when watching Apple TV since it will shut off whatever your watching while it's switches back to tv speakers. I'd say the product overall is good but that disconnects thing really hurts the rating overall especially while watching movies/ shows.

Had this sound bar for two weeks, have only just set it up. Surprised at how easy the set up was, once cables where connected, the on screen instructions were excellent and complete in a few minutes. Everything is working fine. The sound especially the speech is fantastic when watching a blue ray film. Very happy with this product.

Had this 3 months connected to Sony Bravia 83". I've had several goes to set it up. I have 4/5 Remote Controls which is nothing but confusing. And when I finally get the image and sound together (hurray!!!) I hear very little difference from the TV without the soundbar (plus sub woofer and rear speakers). Wish I'd never been convinced to buy it.

one beast of a soundbar that sounds great just need the RS5 rear speakers to fully compliment the set up.

I bought this couple of months ago with sub woofer SW5 and rear speakers RS5. The sound well dynamic and not overwhelming. Sub woofer from soundbar and the SW5 giving a good enjoyable detail to all contents.

The design look stylish, also flexible that I can add additional subwoofer or rear speakers later if needed. In-term of sound, the surround sound doesn't meet my expectations. Also, I always having difficulties to connect to the Airplay. Sometimes I can see it appear in the list, sometimes not !

Bought this a couple months before last hear and I'm glad I did. The sound is so full and impactful. I love the fact the tv works alongside the speaker and the fact the sound comes out the screen, to me it feels the sound it full and more immersive

The sound is superb. However, I had a terrible experience while using this product. I just bought the product for 3 days and there is issue occurred. It keep restart by itself after 15-20 minutes and freeze at 'Hello' and then disconnected with my Sony TV. Tried all the trouble shooting but it didn't resolved the issue. End up I need to send it to the service center for repair.

I expected this to take a lot more effort than it did in order to set this up to achieve its full potential, as it turned out, it definitely did not. There are a few options that the system offers, in fact there's more than a few options, covering all connection methods and scenarios. You can be as simple as connecting a hdmi cable into the eARC or ARC connection on your TV, or as I did, connect devices through the hdmi 2.1 pass through ports, allowing the full 7.1 audio from my ps5.

Obviously only as good as the sound source but with the best sound sources it sounds great. Would never be as good as physical multiple surround speakers but I didn't want trailing wires everywhere and this is a big improvement over my previous and very good Sony Sound Bar.

Supreme surround sound from our flagship soundbar
The HT-A7000 has 7.1.2 channels, two up-firing speakers for overhead sound, two beam tweeters and five front speakers for wider surround and a built-in subwoofer for deep bass. With Vertical Surround Engine and S-Force PRO Front Surround, HT-A7000 creates virtual surround sound that comes from all around you so you can fully enjoy the thrill of Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.
Experience sound from above
Thanks to Sony's virtual surround technology, the soundbar can position sound in vertical space - so you can experience 3D audio without the need for in-ceiling speakers. As well as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, Vertical Surround Engine lends a more realistic, multi-dimensional sound to other formats too.
Surround made simple
Using front speakers only, Sony's unique digital sound field processing technology virtually reproduces the surround sound field, with audio coming at you from both sides. You can enjoy rich, cinematic surround sound without cluttering your living space.
Perfect with Sony TVs
Paired with BRAVIA XR TVs, the HT-A7000 brings you an immersive audio-visual experience with our best picture and sound quality. It's the perfect soundbar for BRAVIA XR.
Even more immersion with BRAVIA Acoustic Center Sync
When connected to a BRAVIA TV with Acoustic Center Sync using the supplied cable, both the soundbar and the TV become the center speaker in your home cinema system. This enables sound to precisely match what's on the screen for a truly immersive experience.
Sound perfectly matches action
With Acoustic Center Sync, you'll hear dialogue from exactly where the character is standing in the scene. Action and sound are precisely aligned so your viewing becomes much more immersive.
Effortless control with BRAVIA

Beam tweeters
Bounce sound off the side walls and expand surround sound to give you an immersive experience that goes beyond the size of your TV. Combines with S-Force PRO Front Surround for even wider surround sound.
Built-in subwoofer
Delivers high sound pressure for clear, deep bass. This has been achieved by expanding the area of the diaphragm and the size of the subwoofer (X-Balanced Speaker Unit).
Front speakers
Provide high quality sound with less distortion and high vocal clearity from an X-Balanced Speaker Unit.
X-Balanced Speaker Unit
The up-firing speakers, built-in subwoofer and front speaker feature an X-Balanced Speaker Unit. The unique rectangular shape of these speakers maximizes the diaphragm area for more punchy bass. It also reduces driver excursion while maintaining sound pressure, resulting in less distortion and greater vocal clarity.
Movies and games feel so real
Support for 8K, 4K/120 passthrough, and Dolby Vision brings vivid visuals and quality sound to shows, movies, and fast paced video game play.
