Excellent video. I thought the sounds came across really well all things considered.

Purchased the whole setup, excited for it to arrive

Hi, I live in Turkey and Sonos pulled out of the market here. I was going for the Gen 2 so this looks like a good alternative. Thanks for the review.

Kudos on another comprehensive & instructive review. Will we see a similar comparison of the SONY HT A700, SA-SW5, SA-RS5 against the SONOS Arc, Sub. Gen. 3 & Era 300 systems?

If your buying this soundbar make sure that your Sony TV does not make a hissing sound from the tweeters, when using the TV as a center speaker. It is still is a common issue across the world with the J, K and L series. I bought an X90L TV from a company that had good customer service and returned both the TV and Soundbar. Some people unfairly notice after its too late to get a refund. Appareently many have had the motherboard changed but sometimes it doesnt work. Sony are terribl for sending out so many faulty unit and not being honest and recalling them because there are so many TVs out there with this fault.

I just got this. I'm trying to figure out how to not have the echo between the television and soundbar. Also how to be able to have it hearable more at a lower level. I also got the 200 watt sub and RS3 Rear Speakers.

Thanks for informative review

then maybe you can tell me which is better or SONOS Beam Gen 2, because I don't know what to buy

Seen a reviewer that said this only has Arc out, so cant connect consoles to it? Would this not work with a ps5, then?

Would love to see a review of the Bang&Olufsen models! Balance, A9 etc!

Does the sound field have to be on when watching an ATMOS disc or stream ?

Hello I am trying to decide on Sony HTA 3000 and G700. This will be mainly used for sports. Suggestions? Thanks

I have an issue with connecting the soundbar directly to my PC motherboard via the optical cable. Soundbar has no "DIGITAL" input source.

I’m currently in the market for a Soundbar. Im in a apartment so I don’t want anything to crazy at the moment but I still want something pretty good. I’m stuck between this model, Bose Smart 600 and the Sonos Beam gen 2 for my Sony X95j 65”. Id appreciate any feedback thank you!

I have a Sky devialat soundbar. Is this a step up or step down?

Should I buy this for my 55 inch Sony A84L or should I go for either the Sonus Beam gen 2 or the Bose 600?

Isn't there a subwoofer that came w/it? You didn't say anything about the subwoofer

Can you do a video about good speakers for a home gym

Hello mate, grateful to find a quality British vid! We have the 55” Sony A80J which has decent sound as standard. But wondering what you’d say would be the merit in buying a sound-bar system upgrade - and which one? Thanks in advance for your advice.

Superb I just purchased 1

always look forward to your videos Guy's and always find them very informative and enjoyable to watch , However is it just me or are there more ad breaks now more then ever ? ? Just had the 3rd bloody advert in 5 minutes , it's really putting me off , they are so distracting when trying to immerse myself in your excellent video .

5:21 this is a decent soundbar but them speakeer prices are absolutely disgusting!!

I've really disappointed with the sound quality of this bar. As others have said it sounds artificial. I was streaming audio from my Samsung S21 phone and prefer the audio in the phone. I have a pair of £100 small Creative PC speakers, 10 years old, and they wlhave better bass and body than this soundbar. Overall very disappointed as have a Sony Bravia XR55A80J and was keen to use the audio Centre sync feature. I might look at Bise 600 or even Senheisser Ambeo Plus as I need to Bluetooth so sadly Sonos not viable for me.

Thanks for the video, very interesting. I was wondering if anyone could chip in here and comment on my queries? I want sound from my Bravia to actually have some bass and some volume, however, I also need clarity at low sound levels too, and I also want something that can play music at a good sound level when required, clean bass and crisp treble are a must as my hearing is not what it used to be. Does anyone have any info as to whether I would be better off buying this bar (ease of connection is a good plus) or do you think it might be better to go with a stand alone audio amp and a set of speakers for a similar price. A long time ago - more than 15 years, I purchased a Marantz 5.1 receiver and surround system, but was very disappointed at the sound levels when connected to a TV, massive speakers, massive amp, but a real let down when it came to sheer volume. I saw a demo of a JBL Partybox the other day for around the same price and that thing could fill a cinema on one speaker and the sound quality was pretty impressive, however, connections might prove a bit less straight forward as the Bravia Bluetooth on my TV does not output audio, so, any suggestions on a good all round system for about this price, but would go up another 2 or 300 quid if there was a significant improvement. Thanks!

Is it good for an audiophile

Overpriced for what you get . No upfiring speakers, tweeters or separate sub. I've heard it's not good with virtual 3d surround sound and atmos . You can get polk signa s4 and majority sierra plus for less money. With upfiring speakers.

A3000 vs HT G700 ???

I thought delorian was car

I don't know, probably Sony sponsored this video, but I cannot find much good words for Sony soundbars. They all have plastic sound (except HT A9) and voice clarity is horrible. I actually prefer sound from my TV than from soundbar. They cannot reproduce enough base by itself, so everything sounds like a cheap plastic boombox. It is loud though and easy to connect. All those sound enhancements form 3.0 soundbar emulating height and surround simply do not work. Even worse for music. $150 boombox speaker sounds better than $1000+ Sony soundbar (A7000).

One of the worst soundbar…. Sound has lagging….

AND....it sucks!
