Product Reviews

This unit was purchased to see what the benefits are in having a sound bar connected to a Sony TV. Was it worth the extra cost, well for films and entertainment it does give the video some depth and souinds great. There was surficient bass sound and setting up the unit was very pleasant and easy. A great unit to have available.

Connected th sound bar to a new Sony tv. Either it’s a failty machine or I’m shocked ar how poor the sound quality is. I’ve tried reconnecting a couple of times but no use. The sound bar will go to the tip next week

Easy to set up and good quility sound, wel made construction

Cats can walk across it and turn on stupid sound demos and blast it to 100 by sitting on it. Bad design.

The sound quality is amazing. Installation was very easy and straightforward

Bass effect could have been better, it takes a while to boot up. Unable to connect to home WIFI even after multiple attempts.

Excellent sound upgrade for my Bravia 43” TV. it is the same width as the TV and fits perfectly below the screen. Setup is simple especially if you already have a Bravia TV, once it is connected to WiFi updates can happen easily. Centre sync is great for even better sound using the speakers integrated in the Bravia screen. It also integrates perfectly with iPhone, iPad and Alexa to play music without needing the TV on. If I had a much larger TV then I would have got the larger Sound bar with upwards firing speakers but for my TV setup this is excellent.

I bought the sound bar to add to my new Bravia TV and replace my much older Bose unit. The sound bar is quite capable and integrates well with the TV. Whilst the sound is good it isn’t as good as my old Bose system

I purchased this a few weeks ago, so far is performed well. Have not had a chance to test all features. I would recommend this sound bar.

Good sound and easy set up straight out of the box.

I bought this soundbar to use with my Sony 48" TV and it's a great match as the width of the soundbar is almost the same as the TV. The soundbar has built-in subwoofers, which are good enough not to need the external subwoofer most of the time. Despite the Dolby Atmos support, the surround sound effect is limited with just the soundbar by itself. I expect this to me much improved if the optional rear speakers are used, but I didn't get those.

Replaced an old incompatible Sonos soundbar when I replaced TV. Whilst the sound is OK it isn’t as good as the soundbar it replaced. I wish I had spent a bit more and got the next model up but was put off by the price. My mistake! There’s nothing wrong with it and for many it will be fine. I have just experienced better and am missing my old soundbar!

Bought this as an upgrade to my previous Sony soundbar. Setting the HT-A3000 up was so easy and been using for 2 weeks. The dialogue is so much clearer using the front speaker fearure which my TV supports. Also using the HDMI ARC input on the TV mean I now only need to use 1 remote control for the TV and sound. I find the built in subwoofer are okay for my requirements when streaming movies however you can purchase an external subwoofer and rear speakers as an optional extra for fully immersive surround sound.

This soundbar is exactly what we wanted. We have a long room and previously had problems hearing speech from the TV at the far end of the room. There are no such problems with this equipment. It's very easy to adjust and looks good.

Excellent sound but intermittent sound issues as it breaks up. So far good support from Sony but the issue still remains unresolved.

Purchased the A3000 for our new Bravia 8 TV. The sound was rubbish, regardless of what settings we tried. Returned it after a week and upgraded to the Bravia Theatre Bar 8 (HT-A8000), which was easy to set up and works like a dream. Preferred design on A3000 - easier to dust and keep clean.

The sound quality in all respects was inferior to my new A80 Sony TV sound.

I purchased this to pair with the 65" mini LED TV of theirs and together they function perfectly, impressed with some extra settings at my disposal to easily make the set up work based on the type of use and other factors

Failed after a week of use. Still under warranty but too large too send back so left to me to make a 120 mile round trip to drop off at the nearest "repair" centre. Tried to contact them after 3 weeks of no news, when they finally answered the phone I was told they are closing the business and will not be repairing my soundbar and probably wouldn't be able to get it back to me either. Another 120 mile round trip to pick up, was told it needs a main board and so took it home. Out of action for a month now with no repair in sight. I will go with a decent brand next time.

the sound produced by the Sony HT A3000 is very good. plus using a Sony 55X90K TV and Sony Playstation 5 this experience its good

Just plug in with Sony Tv then you’re good to go no need to setup anything else plus the soundbar quality very nice with S force sound from Bravia Tv

Don't waste your money. I had this sound bar for 14 months and it suddenly stopped working. The display said hello but no connection to the TV. Sony only warranties their products for 1 year

I bought this sound bar along with my Sony Bravia TV around a year ago. I am so impressed with the sound quality. After getting such a rich sound experience of sound, I must recommend this everyone out there.

Having so many issues with this sound bar connecting with the Sony tv supposed to use the tv as the rear speaker but it keeps forgetting the soundbar also the soundbar doesn't automatically turn on with the tv
