SonyHT-A3000 3.1ch Dolby Atmos TV Sound Bar with DTS:X, 360 Spatial Sound Mapping, Dual Subwoofers, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Airplay 2

What great sound! This Sony sound bar is quite impressive when paired with my Sony tv. The set up was a snap as I used hdmi 3 on my tv, the arc connection. Next I paired it using -blue tooth- with my phone for music. I listen to Amazon music and use an I phone. I mention the I phone as the Sony OS is android (google tv) and some might think Apple users could have issues, not so in my case. Furthermore, I do not use any of the google settings on the Sony platform and instead run my tv through a Roku 4k stick, and great wifi, which is how the sound-bar operates as well. If you have a Sony tv, the integration will be automatic and work well. I did have some disappointment in the remote that came with the sound bar. Not much customization possible and even digging deep into the audio settings and sound field options on the tv there still was no way to increase or decrease treble, very minimal bass control, and no equalizer at all. Having said all of that, I am still loving my purchase and very, very pleased with the sound from both the hdmi connection and the bluetooth on my new sound bar. The remote is very basic, but works. I ended up putting an app on my phone as the little light on the front of the bar was on bright all the time. I knew there had to be a setting- it is called dimmer, and for some reason the remote that comes with the sound bar is missing that setting! The app I put on my phone is available using a QR code on the quick set up paper, it is called “Home Entertainment” and has the dimmer setting buried within the settings options. I also found other remotes from Sony that had the dimmer button included and have ordered a cpl to try. I am not wanting to grab my phone and open an app each time I watch tv- and the light will come back on (I turned it completely off) if you power off your equipment - I said power off, not turn off. Turning off the tv and bar leaves them in a ready state and they pop right back on… Powering off is what I do each night at the surge protector, or if I am to be away for the day.Overall this is a finely tuned piece of sound equipment that can more than stand alone as a tv bar, or bluetooth music streamer. The sound will surprise most, with NO satellite speakers of any kind needed. It is possible to add on, but for me this sound bar is very impressive and provides much better sound than the tv alone while giving me an option to bluetooth any number of music options from phone, tablet, or Alexa device. The bass is good, the depth of sound is very good and I plan to use it daily. You will fall in love with the sound as I have, and this price for “Sony sound” is an excellent bargain in my opinion… PS, if you ever carried a Walkman, you know exactly what I mean! Update: I did purchase a compatible remote w/ the “dimmer “ control, worked immediately- the light now stays off, have not had to change the setting since… purchased right here for a very low price, I actually ordered two different models to try and they both worked! Love my Sony sound!

I had a receiver and small speakers for years. I wanted to get rid of them, simplify my system and also wanted better sound.I'm happy with this sound bar. It came beautifully packaged and was relatively easy to set up. (A friend did the set up). Most importantly, the sound is crystal clear. A definite improvement over my small speakers.

This is second one. The first one was an open box item from Amazon. I have had no problem in the past but got burned on this one. Ordered a new one and it is working just fine. I was hoping for a bit fuller sound but it is okay. I think the voice booster is helping but there still are garbled words. Also, the very short but noticeable delay for the sound to start playing is still annoying. Especially since it happens after just pausing the show or movie.

Without the subwoofer, it try’s to prioritize the bass through the mids on the sound bar. I don’t think it’s designed for that. It gives it a muffled effect. I purchase the subwoofer after the fact and it clears and crips the sound quality and pushed the bass through the woofer and all the speakers are working in perfect harmony. Has fine tuning for bass once you add the woofer too. Without subwoofer it just offers min mid max. Use the app to play with advanced settings. Sound bar has great sound quality and paired well with a Sony bravia tv via hdmi arc port. Enjoy the voice mode for watching tv.

Given that this is a entry level product for Sony it is surprisingly good. Like that it's compact. Much improved quality over just the TV's speakers. We've had lots of Sony products over the years so trust their quality, functionality and durability

It works fine and easily connected to my Sony TV, BUT it sounds the same as my TV, no better. I guess if you have a cheap TV with bad sound it might help, but then again you could just put the cost of this soundbar towards a better TV and avoid the extra component.

Had purchased a new Sony Bravia 50" 2024 model. My old LG soundbar would not interface consistently. It had a wireless subwoofer that I had turned down to zero (no sound). So, I was on a search for a new soundbar. I wanted just the soundbar with no separate subwoofer. I don’t need a blasting bass that you can feel. I just wanted clear, crisp, high quality sound for TV, steaming movies, and music. I was also looking for the smallest soundbar possible, particularly in depth. My old LG was very thin but in my research I found in current times, thin soundbars don’t exist anymore. Tried several soundbars. Some were the exact same price and some were more while others were less. My trials included Sonos, Yamaha, Bose also the Bose 600, Vizio, JBL, Samsung and others. Some of these had apps that were very problematic and some of the apps wouldn’t even work on my brand new top of the line Samsung cell phone. For an elderly, I am pretty tech savvy with these types of electronics so I knew what I was doing with every set-up I tried. 12 soundbars later I decided to try the Sony HT-S2000, in spite of some of the negative reviews that I was concerned about. I wish the depth of it was smaller and it didn’t weigh as much as it does. Other than that it is perfect in every way. Clear, crisp, fantastic sound with plenty of bass, across all platforms, and a very easy set up. This is an excelent soundbar that produces very high quality sound. Very happy with this purchase!
