Fantastic Sound Bar
HT-A7000 22 February 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.

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.

Amazing sound! Only one issue..
HT-A7000 17 June 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.

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 March 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 November 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.
Hope this helps. In case you need further assistance, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

Not So Sure
HT-A7000 26 October 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.

great single unit soundbar
HT-A7000//M1SP1 21 September 2023 by John DG (Malaysia) Verified Purchaser Verified
Although it is possible to attach an extra sub-woofer and extra rear speakers, this soundbar works also very well as stand-alone. It matched all my requirements as I already had 2 big speakers of my stereo in my living room and didn't want extra speakers around. After looking into a number of soundbars, the HT-A7000 came out as one of the best for me. Sound quality is very important to me.

Sony's finest Soundbar - Great for Movies
HT-A7000 21 August 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 July 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.

HT-A7000//M1SP1 25 April 2023 by Nick N (Singapore) Verified Purchaser Verified
Very well built and easy to setup along with my A-7000 Soundbar. Sound great which makes watching movies much more immersive. However, I have to set the Sound Setting to prioritise “Connection” instead of “Sound Quality” in order to get a stable wireless connection without dropouts. Otherwise I didn’t find any compromise in sound nonetheless. My only wish is that it doesn’t comes with built in battery so as to lower the cost and longevity.

Great sound but let down by Mobile App
HT-A7000//M1SP1 20 March 2023 by Fatfilms (Singapore) Verified Purchaser Verified
This is Sony's flagship soundbar and produces the best 7.1.2 sound I have heard from a soundbar. Atmos movie soundtracks from Netflix & Disney+ films are great. The bass produced by this unit is sufficient that you do not need to buy its companion subwoofer. Playing music tracks from Spotify are a treat too using the Standard or Music modes. Unfortunately, this soundbar is let down by the Mobile Companion App, Music Center. Unlike Sonos or Audio Pro app from my other audio streaming devices, this Sony app does not have native TuneIn Radio built-in. It relies on your mobile having TuneIn app and then, Chromecast from it. You will be subjected to your TuneIn app's unwanted advertisements and frequently, the TuneIn Chromecast will stop playing on its own and you have to manually restart it to play your radio station. This sucks!

Great Sound - Best Used With A Sub & Surrounds
HT-A7000 22 February 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.

I bought this a few months ago and I’m so glad I chose this one. Sound is great with the additional sub woofer. The only thing I don’t like is the display is too dim to show in daylight. Works ok at night.

HT-A7000 23 January 2023 by Auseklis (United Kingdom)
There is the problem with this HT-A7000. When it is standing in front of TV XR-77A80K, the remote control does not working good. Because HT-A700 is in front of the TV console sensor. It's a bit too high, but it's no longer possible to raise TV legs higher, they are in the highest position.

Hi Auseklis,
Thank you for your feedback.
We're sorry to learn that your remote doesn't work properly.
We recommend enabling the IR repeater on your soundbar to avoid this issue, as described here: http://bit.ly/3XVObMJ.

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 December 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)].

HT-A7000//M1SP1 19 October 2022 by WeLoveMovies (Malaysia) Verified Purchaser Verified
The A7000 is matched with the SW3. Due to lack of space, I do not have the rear speakers. It delivers clear sound and vocals and the SW3 provides the support when required. Channel distinction is not as definite as I thought it would be. Because of this, the Atmos effect is not discernible. This may be because of the room environment. The walls have acoustic wallpaper and on one side is a full-length curtain. These sound dampening surfaces may be the problem.

15 minute tease then off to warranty
HTA7000 28 September 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 September 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!
