Review Summary

I bought this soundbar to use with my Sony 48" TV and it's a great match as the width of the soundbar is almost the same as the TV. The soundbar has built-in subwoofers, which are good enough not to need the external subwoofer most of the time. Despite the Dolby Atmos support, the surround sound effect is limited with just the soundbar by itself. I expect this to me much improved if the optional rear speakers are used, but I didn't get those.

Replaced an old incompatible Sonos soundbar when I replaced TV. Whilst the sound is OK it isn't as good as the soundbar it replaced. I wish I had spent a bit more and got the next model up but was put off by the price. My mistake! There's nothing wrong with it and for many it will be fine. I have just experienced better and am missing my old soundbar!

Bought this as an upgrade to my previous Sony soundbar. Setting the HT-A3000 up was so easy and been using for 2 weeks. The dialogue is so much clearer using the front speaker fearure which my TV supports. Also using the HDMI ARC input on the TV mean I now only need to use 1 remote control for the TV and sound. I find the built in subwoofer are okay for my requirements when streaming movies however you can purchase an external subwoofer and rear speakers as an optional extra for fully immersive surround sound.

This soundbar is exactly what we wanted. We have a long room and previously had problems hearing speech from the TV at the far end of the room. There are no such problems with this equipment. It's very easy to adjust and looks good.

Excellent sound but intermittent sound issues as it breaks up. So far good support from Sony but the issue still remains unresolved.

Purchased the A3000 for our new Bravia 8 TV. The sound was rubbish, regardless of what settings we tried. Returned it after a week and upgraded to the Bravia Theatre Bar 8 (HT-A8000), which was easy to set up and works like a dream. Preferred design on A3000 - easier to dust and keep clean.

The sound quality in all respects was inferior to my new A80 Sony TV sound.

Failed after a week of use. Still under warranty but too large too send back so left to me to make a 120 mile round trip to drop off at the nearest "repair" centre. Tried to contact them after 3 weeks of no news, when they finally answered the phone I was told they are closing the business and will not be repairing my soundbar and probably wouldn't be able to get it back to me either. Another 120 mile round trip to pick up, was told it needs a main board and so took it home. Out of action for a month now with no repair in sight. I will go with a decent brand next time.

Don't waste your money. I had this sound bar for 14 months and it suddenly stopped working. The display said hello but no connection to the TV. Sony only warranties their products for 1 year

Worked for a day and the audio stopped working. Trouble shooted it with Sony and they said it needs to be serviced. Told me it's out of warranty so contact a repair guy or buy a replacement. Try to purchase a protection plan and the website keeps circling back on itself not even giving me the option. Think I'm done with Sony. When the rest of my Sony stuff stops working I'll be switching to a different company. This is low quality. I expected better Sony.

I had rather high hopes, but was rather disappointed. The speech is less clear than the tv's own speakers. The bass is rather poor as well, I'd prefer less bass than poor bass. Overall it's a waste of money.

The Sony HT-A3000 is a bit bulky, but the material and built quality is good, the body of the soundbar is plastic with a metal grill on the front. I just connected A3000 to my Bravia 8 tv and just follow the instruction on the tv, The A3000 soundbar elevate the sound from tv especially for watching movies and when you use the centre speaker mode cable which use the tv speaker in combination with the soundbar for richer voice sound, but i think that you need a subwoofer to boost the bass because it is a little light on the soundbar even when i crank up the bass to the max on the A3000 with 250 watts and would be better with more power for more immersive sound when watching movies, I am happy with the Sony HT-A3000 ,but really need a subwoofer for better bass for explosive scenes in movies, so i would recommend this soundbar because it will upgrade the sound on any flat screen tv.

Easy to use and loads of connection options. Could've allowed Equaliser or at least Bass/Treble setting, but not bad though

I purchased this product along with a TV of the same manufacture. The sound is great, and the unit works well with the TV. Initial setup appeared to be a bit complicated and one of the delivery guys spent an hour trying to get any sound from the TV to actually come through the soundbar itself. After defeat it was left in that state and later in the day, I switched the TV and soundbar on again and the sound just worked! They were connected by an HDMI cable and since then has continued to work every time except one may need to select the Sound Field option to on or off to get sound output after the TV has been turned off then on again at a later time or another day. I guess that is because I am using different set top boxes connected to the TV. Apart from the aforementioned niggles I would highly recommend this soundbar.

I have been very happy with the amazing sound from my A80K, but decided to expand my movie watching experience with a soundbar. Wow! Just wow! I went with a did-range option , the A-3000. I can't believe the depth of the bass coming from this soundbar. It's simply amazing what Sony can do. I'm impressed everytime I open a box woth a Sony item inside. This is no exception. The expansive surround sound truly takes my movie watching to another level. Well done Sony, well done again.

I bought this mid-range Sony soundbar and expected mid-range sound. Boy was I surprised to get a living room full of sound that's perfect for my apartment. Had to deal with a hissing issue but in the process of having that fixed quickly and effortlessly by Sony support.

This Sony HT-A3000 is where it's at, especially with bass. This is my first dabble with a sound bar and wow. Sony is my go-to with electronic stuff and this does not disappoint. It mates perfectly with my Sony X90L. It also works with the TV acting as an additional speaker, and it all turns on together with one power button press. What I am mostly wowed with is the bass reproduction. I chose this one based on its low-end performance. In person I was blown away. The bass is rather good with a ...

Great product and easy to set up.
By JohnB07
Very pleased to connect this product to my Sony 48inch smart tv.
From the creators of high-quality electronics, Sony, comes the HT-A3000 250W 3.1-Channel Dolby Atmos Soundbar, a powerful and advanced sound system designed to transform your home theater experience. This stylish and innovative soundbar is engineered to immerse you in authentic surround sound, featuring a center speaker for crystal-clear dialogue and a built-in dual subwoofer for impressive power.
Experience the magic of 360 Spatial Sound Mapping, a feature that engulfs you in your favorite movies, TV shows, and music. With the addition of optional rear speakers, this technology creates a sound field optimized for your unique space, enveloping you in sound from multiple phantom speakers. This ensures a wide listening area where everyone gets the same immersive sound experience.
The HT-A3000 is equipped with Sound Field Optimization, an innovative technology that calibrates sound to your space. The soundbar's built-in microphones intelligently measure the position of each speaker and optimize sound to your room. This means even if you move the soundbar to another room, you can recalibrate to optimize sound to the new space.
This 3.1ch soundbar features three front speakers, including a center speaker designed for clear dialogue, and a built-in dual subwoofer for deep bass. With Vertical Surround Engine and S-Force PRO Front Surround technology, the sound comes from all around you, maximizing the effects of Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.
Sony's virtual surround technology positions sound in vertical space, allowing you to experience 3D audio without the need for in-ceiling or up-firing speakers. This technology lends a more realistic, multi-dimensional sound to other formats too.
The HT-A3000 also features an X-Balanced Speaker Unit. The unique rectangular shape of these speakers maximizes the diaphragm area for more punchy bass, reduces driver excursion while maintaining sound pressure, resulting in less distortion and greater vocal clarity.
For music lovers, the HT-A3000 brings music to life with 360 Reality Audio, putting you in the middle of the concert, studio session, or whatever you're listening to, for a totally immersive experience.
This soundbar also supports Spotify Connect and other music services via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi streaming, Chromecast built-in, or Apple AirPlay 2, allowing you to enjoy all the music you love. Plus, it's compatible with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa enabled devices for effortless control.
In summary, the HT-A3000 250W 3.1-Channel Dolby Atmos Soundbar is not just a soundbar, it's a gateway to an immersive, high-quality sound experience right in your living room.
