Can Sony bring its A-game to this mid-range Dolby Atmos soundbar?
Expert review by : Simon Cohen (digitaltrends.com)
Sony's HT-A5000 goes up against formidable competitors from Sonos, Bose, and LG and proves that a single speaker can produce awesome immersive sound.
8K-ready HDMI input ; Excellent movie and music sound ; Easy on-screen setup ; Tons of connection options ; Hi-res, Sony 360RA, and DTS:X
No EQ adjustments ; Some settings are buried ; Poor integration of music services
“With every sound format and connection option we could want, the Sony HT-A5000 rocks.”

Combined with Sony's wireless SA-RS5 rear speakers and SA-SW3 wireless sub, the Sony HT-A5000 delivers superb Dolby Atmos and DTS:X performance.
Delivers a theater-like experience with a fully wireless speaker setup ; Immersive Dolby Atmos performance ; Frictionless setup and sound field optimization ; Can use the speakers in certain Sony TVs as the center channel
Optional SA-SW3 subwoofer calls attention to itself ; Some boxiness to the sound, particularly with music
When used in combination with Sony’s optional SA-RS5 rear speakers and SA-SW3 subwoofer, the HT-A5000 serves up a theater-like experience without the hassle of wired setup.

Sony's mid-range soundbar takes it up a notch with compelling surround sound. But how good is the HT-A5000 compared to the Sonos Arc?
The Sony HT-A5000 creates a big and clear sound image with a convincing surround effect, and can play loud without any sign of trouble.
Subwoofer and rear speakers are optional, and thus a significant extra cost.
The price range around a thousand euros is full of strong soundbars, but the Sony HT-A5000 stands out as one of the better ones we’ve heard. We’ve previously been impressed by the HT-A7000 big brother, but to our ears the little brother actually seems...
