Fantastic Sound Bar
HT-A7000 22/02/2022 by Suhailu77 (United Kingdom)
I have bought this Sony HT - A7000 Sound bar 15 days ago. I really like its advanced features which merge really well with sony bravia 65 inch Oled tv. This sound bar feels me like theatre sound experience with Dolby Atmos in it. My kids really happy watching the movies and cartoons with clear sound. I recommend thing sound bar who wants all in one for excellent sound experience.

Amazing sound! Only one issue..
HT-A7000 17/06/2024 by A107 (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified
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.

Sound bar HT-A7000
HT-A7000 06/05/2024 by Ginger c (United Kingdom)
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.

HT-A7000 06/03/2024 by Detek (United Kingdom)
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.

Amazing spacial and Atmos from a bar
HTA7000 01/11/2023 by LBChris (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified
Like the title says. Truly impressive height and surround. I come from a traditional AVR based setup and am amazed at how good this sounds. I have it mated to a Bravia TV and use the center channel feature. It's also surprisingly deep. My only real complaint is that the subwoofer options are not impressive at all. The sound from the bar goes lower than expected and I had hope to improve on it when I added the sub. It was disappointing. It added a flabby and boomy sound but didn't go deep at all. I implore Sony to either make a proper subwoofer with a deep range or make a wireless adapter for traditional subwoofers.

Hi LBChris,
Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the HTA7000. We're glad that you like the sound quality of the soundbar. Your feedback about the connected wireless subwoofer is greatly appreciated. For optimum performance, make sure to install the latest software version of the soundbar. Please refer to this link:
https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/sound-bars-home-theater-systems-sound-bars-surround-speakers/ht-a7000/software/00272379
You also have the option to adjust the sound settings of the soundbar depending on your needs. For more information, please refer to this link (under "Adjusting the Volume and Sound Quality"):
https://helpguide.sony.net/ht/a7000/v1/en/index.html
These steps may also help you have a better experience when using a wireless subwoofer:
-Move the subwoofer away from any device that generates electromagnetic waves, such as a wireless LAN device or a microwave oven.
-Remove any obstacle between the Soundbar and subwoofer, or move them away from the obstacle.
Move the Soundbar and subwoofer closer together.
-To reduce interference from another device on the same wireless LAN connection as the Soundbar and the subwoofer, change the network connection of other devices (TV, Blu-ray Disc™ Player, and so on) to a wired LAN.

Not So Sure
HT-A7000 26/10/2023 by WinnieThePooh (United Kingdom)
Bought this 6 months ago and initially it was good but suddenly the sound quality changed. Now it’s a sharp shrill sound quality from the soundbar. Asked the retailer what could be wrong and came back and followed the steps but it still sounds bad. Have to turn it off depending on the programme as even at 0 volume it’s too loud. The retailer won’t send a technician out so thinking about returning it.

Sony's finest Soundbar - Great for Movies
HT-A7000 21/08/2023 by Camcsj (United Kingdom)
I have had the Soundbar for a couple of days now and so far, I am very impressed. It is expensive, but you are awarded with great sound and feature proof option you could want. I have it hooked up to a Sony KD-55XF9005 (also great!!). I purchased this for TV content and movies as primary and as a music source secondary. The Soundbar reproduces excellent sound stage. The bass is very good for a Soundbar, but if you are looking for low end bass, then opt for a Sony wireless sub. For my ears, I would say the sound is tuned for TV content and movies. Music is very good with plenty of volume and bass. I only wished Sony provided sound adjustments, such as a graphic EQ or simple bass and treble options, as this would allow you to fine tune the sound. I drive my music using Amazon Music via Bluetooth LDAC and its very good indeed, and this way allows me to fine tune the bass and treble within the Amazon Music app. I hope Sony are able though to add some form of an customisable EQ with an update. Another fine product from Sony.

I bought the Sony HT-A7000 soundbar and Sony SA-SW3 subwoofer to pair with a new Sony XR-A80K tv panel. As hoped, all three components paired with each other (Best Buy Geek Squad setup). The the entire system looks and sounds great! I did not wall mount the soundbar based on installers recommendation. I have read that the mounts don’t lineup with the wall studs. The 7000 soundbar is heavy. All and all, I’m happy with the setup.

Awesome Sound but stopped working after 1 year
HTA7000 12/07/2023 by B Anderson (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified
Great Sound, Paired with subwoofer and wireless rear speakers for full surround. Unfortunately it stopped working 2 months after the 1 year warranty ran out. Wasn't even used that much. Stuck on Hello screen, spent $1100 now have to pay $125 plus shipping and any repair costs. Sounds like a common occurrence for the item. No concessions from Sony, didn't seem to care even.

I tried a cheaper soundbar (not a Sony) but wasn’t totally happy with the sound. As with most things you get what you pay for, and I cannot exaggerate what a difference this soundbar has made to my enjoyment in watching TV and listening to my record collection via Airplay, Bluetooth or USB. The quality of sound is phenomenal especially when using the ‘immersive’ function. I don’t play loud music as I’ve got neighbours but I don’t have to in order to enjoy every little nuance of sound coming from this soundbar. Yes, it’s not cheap, but worth every penny. Great for a small room or a large hall. Well done Sony.

Great Sound - Best Used With A Sub & Surrounds
HT-A7000 22/02/2023 by KendalTommy (United Kingdom)
On its own, this is one of the best sound bars you can buy today. It's not the cheapest, but the sound is far superior to similar products offered by rivals (I'm looking at you Sonos and Bose!). Where it really comes to life is when surround speakers are added and the full 360 surround is enabled. Unlike other rivals that ask you to walk around the room waving your phone to configure the levels, Sony have included microphones in the speakers so set up really is simple. Yes, Sony claims there's a built in subwoofer, and yes it's fine. But if you really want your walls to rattle when Tom Cruise is flying around in Top Gun, you'll need the dedicated sub. Skip the small one as you'll regret it. The bigger sub is a fantastic partnership with the sound bar and whilst it'll empty your bank account, you won't regret it. The sub tends to walk around the room during bass heavy movies, so get ready to find a way of keeping it secure. The only problem I've experienced is that the rear speakers sometime disconnect from the sound bar and I have to manually reconnect them. Much has been written about this in forums and I hope it's a simple software update. The phone app is OK, but not as nice as the Sonos one. Finally, it would be really nice if Sony allowed me to tweak the bass and treble. I'm sure there's a really complicated algorithm that's taking care of this, but everyone has slight different preferences in sound.

Spent a long time looking at different reviews and listening to instore demos before buying this product. Have Now attached it to the wall and the sound for Movies, Music and Normal TV is really good. We have also purchased the SW5 Sub and surround speakers which have added a lot of depth to the listening pleasure. Bluetooth connectivity was also really easy. Only Gripe we had and this will not affect many people is that if you use the Optical Lead on the soundbar, you then cannot use the TV as the Centre speaker .

Great Brand Name But Sad Performance
HTA7000 23/12/2022 by Kendrick89 (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified
I bought the Sony HT-A7000 a months ago and wanted to get a real feel for it, sadly it has disappointed. I bought the optional SA-SW5 Subwoofer and it gave out on me, stopped working so I reluctantly bought another one. The Dolby ATMOS experience is as promised and was really shocked after all the reviews on YouTube stated it was a wonderful feature that Sony nearly perfected. Next major gripe is the supposed HDMI 2.1 outputs, I have my PlayStation 5 connected to it and when verify video resolution it’s only displaying 4K at 60Hz not the 120Hz as advertised and features such as Variable Refresh Rate(VRR), Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) aren’t available. These features work only when I plug the PlayStation directly into the TV’s HDMI 3/4. ( My television is the Sony A90J). Sony fix your interoperability issues. There is no reason why my Sony PlayStation 5 connected to my Sony flagship soundbar that is connected to 2021 flagship television should be experiencing these issues.

Hi Kendrick89,
Thank you for reaching out to us and we do apologize for the inconvenience. This is definitely not the experience we want you to have with our products. Allow us to help troubleshoot the problem.
We are sorry but the soundbar is incapable of passthrough for both VRR and ALLM. To get the most out of the HDMI2.1 standard features such as 4K 120hz, VRR, and ALLM, you need connect your PlayStation 5 to HDMI 3 or 4 port of your A90J TV. Please make sure to use a Premium High Speed HDMI Cable(s) that supports speeds of 18 Gbps. To display 4K 120 Hz picture, an Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable that supports 48 Gbps is required.
If you connect a video game console that supports 4K 120 Hz video output, set to [Enhanced format (4K120, 8K)].
If you connect a video game console that supports VRR, set to [Enhanced format (VRR)].

15 minute tease then off to warranty
HTA7000 28/09/2022 by Rabbo (USA)
Decided to splurge and purchase the system to compliment my new Sony TV. Unboxed sounds bar and sub, set it up, maybe worked for 15 minute, was prompton to update software, update timed out, unit bricked itself with hello stuck on the display and completely unresponsive. Talk to customer support, attempted a factory reset with no success and was instructed to ship to warranty center. Also I believe but I can't confirm since unit stopped working the sub was popping. Very upsetting considering the high price tag. I hope this thing is not a lemon in the future, at the moment I'm thinking I should have just asked for a refund. On a bright note, the A90J has been great

Great Sound bar but NO Ethernet port.
HTA7000 26/09/2022 by Skaarjface (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified
I have had several very expensive AVRs from brands such as Sony, Onkyo, and Denon with speakers from Sony, Bose, and Def tech over the years with wires running around the floor. The HT-A7000 with surround speakers and sub does sound better than any of the other setups I have had and cost about the same with the bonus of true wireless surround speakers. The sound bar has a pretty decent GUI to navigate onscreen although not as robust as my previous AVRs. It also has fantastic sound calibration setup software compared to Audyssey and without the use of a wired microphone. If you are looking for a sound bar with 2 Hdmi 2.1 inputs that supports Dolby Vision and has true wireless rear up firing speakers that can run off internal batteries this is as of right now the only option I know about. If you do not need the above options you might be better off spending less on another brand. I purchased the HT-A7000 sound bar, SA-RS5 rear speakers, and the SA-SW5 sub together with a discounted price of $2,299.97. A month later after intense testing I am still very happy with the purchase. If you plan to only stream movies you will probably be disappointed with what the major streaming services call Dolby Atmos. I would not recommend spending this much on a sound bar to stream movies. Do yourself a favor and get a 4k blu ray player. There is a huge difference in sound quality when using a 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray Disc player vs streaming especially on 4K movies that use Dolby Atmos or DTS:X. I tested the sound bar without the surrounds and sub and it does a fantastic job with virtual surround by itself if you sit no more the 7 feet from it. Any further than 8 feet you will definitely want to add rear surrounds and a sub. The dialogue is loud and clear and the surrounds do a fantastic job of only producing sound that should be in the rear. The sub fills my 15’X18’ living room with massive bass. There is NO Ethernet port and you must use wifi or usb to update the firmware and cast music to the bar. (Negative one star for whoever at Sony didn’t believe this MSRP of $1400 sound bar didn’t need an Ethernet port)

Hi Skaarjface,
The HT-A7000 has built-in Wi-Fi. You can connect to the Internet with built-in Wi-Fi and stream music from devices on your home network. To update the software, please refer to this link: https://helpguide.sony.net/ht/a7000/v1/en/contents/TP1000070966.html
The HT-A7000 is almost ready to go straight out of the box. Simply plug it in, connect to your TV using the HDMI eARC connection and power on. With USB, optical and analogue audio in as well as HDMI in and out (eARC), and S-CENTER OUT for compatible BRAVIA models, you have all the connections you need to enjoy a breathtaking surround sound experience.
Thanks for choosing Sony!

A7000 Great sound bar
HTA7000 28/06/2022 by Steve Old not bold pilot (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified
Great sound, Immersive, wide. Internal SWs not really low enough but add the SW3 200w SW will fix that. Unless your room is big the 200 is good even at less than max volume. Too bad the Bar doesn't have a RJ-45 LAN port for wired connection for us who want wired over Wi-Fi. That might also remove a possible source of RF interference for the rear speakers. The RS5s connected fine but there were gaps in audio output even with test tones. I allowed the bar to Optimize the external speaker connections and so far so good. But, when audio source is LPCM (Hulu, Peacock) or Dolby or DD+ 2.0 don't expect to hear much from the rears. And the HDMI cable included seems a little thin for eArc or 8K pass thru and the same cut out where the HDMI out/eArc is seems a bit tight to use a stiff cable like an Audio Quest Carbon 48 instead, would be better if all connections were on the back instead. Overall, a much better setup then $2000 for speakers and dragging wire all over to connect + the 500 watts of power my AVR would use Vs.160 watts. and I still use my AVR when i need my noise cancelling headphones to block out A/C & other noises and overnight to be kind to the other condo units.

Hi Oshack,
Thank you for choosing and purchasing our Sony A90J TV and HT-A7000 soundbar. While we're glad you like the great sound quality, we regret that you encountered some audio issues with the soundbar connected to your new Sony A90J TV. We would like to know a little bit more detail about the situation you faced with the unit and turn this into a better experience. Please follow the troubleshooting steps below below to better isolate the issue:
- Power reset the TV and soundbar.
- Disconnect any third-party external devices like cable boxes, satellite receivers, or gaming consoles and perform the troubleshooting steps just with the audio system connected to the TV.
Third-party devices may cause the Control for HDMI or BRAVIA Sync function of the TV and the audio device to stop working.
- Turn on both units, and then check if the TV displays the message Switching audio to external speakers.
- Stream a different app to test the sound.
- If the issue still occurs, enable the control of HDMI devices.
press the (Quick Settings) button on the remote control, then select [Settings] — [Channels & Inputs] — [External inputs] — [BRAVIA Sync settings] — [BRAVIA Sync device list].
- Set the eARC or audio system to On or Auto.
Note: The eARC function becomes available. When you connect an eARC-compatible TV to the soundbar or receiver, the eARC function is activated.
- Replace the HDMI cable with premium high-speed HDMI cable.

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. Thanks for choosing Sony!

HT-A7000 16/02/2022 by Whoopsadaisy (United Kingdom)
Upon arrival, the quality and attention to detail was clear to see, not just in the product itself, but the packaging and instructions too. The installation, (even for myself with limited technical ability) was easy. There's a very useful template for wall mounting. The connection instructions are clear and logically formatted with useful connectivity tips. There are many ports allowing connection to other devices, these are placed discreetly underneath the sound bar, therefore the appearance is not affected. In relation to the sound: The features are many. All are useful not gimmicky! When using them you can hear the difference that they make. In particular, I find the night and voice settings very useful. Both functions bring an exceptional clarity. The night setting allows you to enjoy clear sound at low volume. This clarity of sound is extremely impressive in all modes. When linked with rear speakers and subwoofer, the settings for cinema and music come into their own; the sound becomes all enveloping, and you can really drift away. Another very useful feature is interlocking with the TV. This allows you to use the TV remote control for volume, and other functions. Overall, I am delighted with the all aspects of the product. It has brilliant sound quality with impressive easy to use features. Highly recommended!

An Outstanding Surround Sound Experience
HT-A7000 08/02/2022 by Graham35 (United Kingdom)
This system is a beast both in size and in the excellence of the quality of sound it reproduces. I have had soundbars as part of my TV setups for years, but this system from Sony is, in my opinion, the best I have ever had and heard. I was at first worried by the physical size of the units, these are big compared to other systems but there is a reason for this, in that they are packed with technology and quality components for the sole purpose of immersing you in that cinematic and entertainment experience that we all love. This system does this by the bucketful. My system comprises of the HT-A7000 soundbar, the SA-SW5 wireless Subwoofer and the SA-RS3S wireless rear speakers. The design of the components of this system are so sleek and modern, and by using a combination of quality materials ensures that this sound system looks the part in any environment it is being used. I found that setting up the system straightforward, as I was replacing an older Sony system it was like plug and play, with the technology finding and connecting all the additional speakers within seconds, running the sound field optimiser and I was ready to go (listen). The written instructions that come with the system comprehensive and will ensure that you are able to set the system up to ensure optimal use. This speaker system can be used with a range of devices connected in several ways e.g., Bluetooth, USB and WIFI. The HT-A7000 can be used as a standalone system and when used on its own it utilises its built-in technology to create a virtual surround sound system, individually for the space you are using it in, that is second to none. It has a combination of front speakers, tweeter speakers and bass speakers. Some of the speakers point upwards which you can really hear when you stand up in your room. The system has several pre-defined settings that you can select dependent upon what you are watching / listening to. E.G. Cinema, Music, Standard etc. These produce a great quality sound and are subtly different. The voice clarity of the spoken words through this sound system is the best I have heard. For me, the system produces the best sound when you use the Immersive AE function and let the software enhance the sound and its distribution to produce a wonderful, immersive, and entertaining viewing experience. This really is a fantastic sound system but for me, what elevates it to an ultimate system is the addition of the wireless sub-woofer speaker and the wireless surround sound speakers. Attaching these was so simple all you need is a power socket but no other cables to run around the room. These speakers were recognised and connected by the system within seconds of switching on. These powerful additional speakers have their own volume settings that can be adjusted to suit your taste, but I have to say the deep bass of the sub-woofer, the clarity of the surround speakers together with the combination of sounds from the HT-A7000 sound bar really do make the experience totally immersive and the best I have heard. For me watching movies at home is now as close as it can be to watching them at the cinema. Whilst watching a movie, I thought at one point I had a water leak running down the inside of my wall only to realise the sound of running water was in the movie coming through the speaker system. I love it. This sound system looks great and sounds even better, the only tiny disappointment is the quality of the remote-control unit, I would like to see the cover being a bit more substantive, that would complement the other materials used, possibly even a form of metal. Would I recommend this product? Yes, absolutely without hesitation. The quality and clarity of the sound is fantastic, the set up so straightforward. For me, the ultimate immersive experience is when you use the HT-A7000 with the Sony wireless sub-woofer and surround sound speakers.

A slice of cinema at home, Easy to set up, A real eye-catching quality solid build (work of art) This is Sony at its finest, The sound is outstanding and the volume range is exemplary. The size is larger in width than I calculated which means for me with the Sony kd55A8 TV I will be mounting the TV to the wall instead of it resting on its legs as the soundbar is wider than the TV, this is not a problem as the soundbar thoroughly deserves it rightful place at where it can work to its best. And its best is Awesome. Combined with an easy pair to the wireless Sony Bluetooth speakers it really does make you feel excited about which film/program/game I'm going to watch or play.

A true cinematic experience
HT-A7000 07/12/2021 by Lord-Viridis (United Kingdom)
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. The sound output is quite magnificent, rich tones replicated with no lag, and even as a stand-alone unit, the A7000 manages to bounce sounds round the room in a very surreal manner, sound you swear are coming from above and behind you, yet you know they're being sent from right there in front of you. You might think that setting up the sound is a daunting task, but no, the A7000 has a fully automated set-up method using soundfield optimisation by sending different sounds through each speaker the A7000 measures the response times to judge the shape and size of your room and by using these returned values, will set the speaker settings and levels to be unique to each individual room. Once set up, connected and ready to go, you can sit back and enjoy the audio experience. And what an experience it is, films in surround and Atmos sound absolutely sublime, the difference is very, very noticeable from the usual 2.1 or 2.0 outputted from TV systems. Bass is well rounded with no overbearing nor distorted sounds, a nice thick bass matched with equally rich sounding miss and highs, each fired from its own style of speaker with no compression artifacts, nor any flat areas, the sound is quite simply, something you'd expect in a theatre, not a home. The soundbar supports a wide range of sound codecs, including Atmos, DTS, 3D Audio and many more, the built in Google cast, Alexa, LDAC Bluetooth connection, 3.5mm analogue and optical ports mean there's connection methods for any scenario, for most others there's also the Sony music centre mobile app which will connect your smartphone to the speaker via the internet, and can stream almost all other music apps via remote connection. With connection methods all over the place, a top line sound system and a very user friendly set up, it's very hard to find anything negative about this system, it's a very, very enjoyable experience all round, and would not think twice about recommending it to others. A very solid performer.

Hi Mirek_B,
Awesome! We're thrilled that you are enjoying this amazing 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 dual 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®. 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. Thanks for choosing Sony!
