About Sony Bluetooth Sound bar HT-A7000, 7.1.2ch 500W Dolby Atmos Soundbar
Overall Feedback:
68% positive
83% praised the connectivity range, yet 17% faced signal drop-offs
Wireless connectivity via Bluetooth, Chromecast, and AirPlay worked perfectly.
The soundbar is earc compliant and works seamlessly with the TV's sound system as a native speaker. It also works incredibly well with very tight integrations if you have a recent generation Sony Bravia TV.
The sound-bar can be connected through various modes like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3.5 AUX, USB, HDMI with 2 in & 2 out and optical ports, providing a variety of possibilities and flexibility to use the device, including the option to connect it to a docking station.
Connectivity is proprietary and according to the documentation, non-recommended Sony-brand optional speakers cannot be paired.
69% found it easy to connect with smart assistants, although 31% faced issues
The soundbar is compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant.
The soundbar supports all smart ecosystems and has inbuilt chromecast and alexa integration.
The sound-bar effortlessly pairs with compatible satellite speakers and subwoofer. It also connects to Wi-Fi for the latest firmware update, improving the system and optional ecosystem.
The soundbar can connect to any device on the same Wi-Fi network that is compatible with such connections, including phones, Google Home, and Alexa.

72% highlighted the subwoofer performance
The soundbar has decent low frequencies, perfect for an apartment where you can't shake the walls.
I have compared the HT-A7000 with several other high-end soundbars and concluded that it comes out on top.
In my opinion, the 300 watt model of wireless subwoofer is a sensible and worthwhile buy.
The built-in subwoofer produces good bass despite not being a separate unit.

69% were impressed with the design, nevertheless, 31% weren't
The soundbar is designed to be easy to setup, even for non-techies like me.
The sound bar has Sony's X-Balanced Speaker technology, which uses rectangular speakers instead of traditional round ones.
I appreciate the durable build quality of the soundbar and the fact that the grille is not removable, which is a plus point if you have kids who like to pull things off.
The soundbar has a luxurious style with a high-end design made up of black metal, fabric, and glass.

64% appreciated the audio modes
I recommend keeping the sound mode on to take advantage of the vertical surround engine that produces Dolby Atmos and DTS X.
I recommend testing the soundbar with high-quality content, such as 4k UHD movies, to truly hear the difference.
I recommend leaving on the feature that upscales non-surround audio programs for surround and Atmos effects.
I recommend running Sound Field Optimization to calibrate the speakers for 360 Spatial Sound Mapping.

74% liked the sound quality
This Sony HT-A7000 sound bar produces the best audio I have ever experienced from any sound bar I have owned.
I can effectively test the sound bar by playing high quality music through 3 months free of Amazon Music.
I can control a lot of the effects and sound settings in my 'music center' app. I adjust and tweak the bar to my listening taste depending on what genre or experience I want to listen to.
The sound quality is next level, making you feel like you're at a live concert or event.
