I’m in love with your channel , i like the way you review electronics , you go straight to the point , because of you i bought JBL 9.1 ch surround bar recently, can’t get enough of it . Thank you. Greetings from Kuwait 🇰🇼
Was testing out the a5000s today after setting it up at home and during a movie, I kept pausing it thinking it was my neighbors having a bbq outside or something lol. But it was just the subtle background audio of like a bar scene lol. And watching my cat chase after the “bird” chirps in the ceiling was pretty neat. And I haven’t even added the rear speakers yet lol
Good to see you back Jonah. Would love to see you review the Samsung Q990B and the new Sennheiser Ambeo Plus if you can get your hands on either. Again if times get tough, just take another break or please do talk to someone. My uncle sadly commited suicide last week. Don't ever feel you can't talk to someone if things get too tough. Moving on we are all glad to see this latest review and look forward to your next one.
Already have the Samsung Q990B in my hands! Looking into the new Sennheiser Ambeo Plus now. Absolutely, mental health has been a big focus for me and I'm in the right head space now. I stand by counseling because it has made such a positive impact on my life. Happy to be back!
@@JonahMatthes Awesome. I switched up from a Sonos arc full system to a Sony HT-A9, but I couldn't get on with the center channel. I now own the Q990B and it's an absolute monster easily the best I've tried and owned so far. Would be interested in the Ambeo plus for another room in the house. Again, glad you are back, have a great weekend!
I wanna get this one, with the sw s3 and the rear speaker sr3! My tv is an Sony a80j 65”, I have my Apple TV (last generation) and ps5! Do you think it will be sounds good? I’m gonna put in my bedroom
Awesome that you compared the size physically. It really puts it into perspective. With the price difference, the A5000 seems good enough for smaller apartments. Thank you!
Hello Jonah. I am wondering about that great function as: Accoustic Center Speaker Sync+. I have Sony OLED A83K 65' and i think about to buy soundbar Sony HT-A5000 + Subwoofer SW3 for my 24m2 livingroom. I had read bad news about that central speaker from TV when you synchronized it with soundbar Sony. Some people just hear hiss/whistle from TV speaker when soundbar and TV are pluged in. Did you see that problem when you had been tested A3000 ?
Interesting en well reviewed video, thank you. I am still in doubt to buy the Sony set (HT-A3000 + SA-RS5 + SA-SW5) or the Sonos set (Beam Gen2 + One SL (2x) + Sub G3) For me it must be good for cinematic experience but also important to listen to music. What set would you prefer ? Ow and I have the newest Sony Oled tv (Sony Bravia OLED XR-A90K (2022) )
After the Sony soundbar and the Sony rear speakers are connected, can the sound volume level on the rear speaker be changed without changing the sound level of the soundbar? In other words, can the sound level of the rear speakers be adjusted individually and independently? Also, can the soundbar remote control be used to turn ON/OFF the soundbar and the rear speakers simultaneously? Thank you!
You could probably pick up the Sony ZF9/Z9F soundbar for no more than 300 if you look around ebay and stuff. I loved that soundbar. Only recently upgraded to a £1800 dolby atmos setup but in small - medium sized rooms the ZF9 sony soundbar is Phenomenal! I got it for £649 at launch but it should be available like I said much cheaper nowadays if you look around 👍
Hope you’re doing well, Jonah. Sony have messed up IMHO. They’ve made their premium sound-bars to be too wide to sit in between the legs of their Bravia screens. This means that if you don’t want to wall-mount your TV, you either have to have a bar infringing on the screen or have it under a shelf blocking the up-firing speakers. Lame! Thankfully these speakers partly address this issue and, combined with the A3000 and SW3, should be a good solution. Flip me, Sony 🙄
I got this sound bar.I hooked up with my Sony a80k tv .I felt sound from tv speakers were good compare to sound bar .I need some help in setting up this sound bar.looking forward to see more videos on this soundbar.
Dude I've had a Sony hd-sf-150 I think it is and no it don't blow you away but I got it for around £70 and for most of us it's just fine. Even tho the sound from my Samsung qled 4ktv is really decent tbh. I've had the sound bar for a few years and obviously a great buy.
Funny. My sisters kids soon have birthday and they're big enough for some more grown up presents that'll last a long time. I got an A7000 for myself and an HT-SF150 for each up them. I originally though about Samsung HW-T400 but then it suddenly rised in price and SF150 was on offer and granted it did look like the best of those two - well just about any other in that price range without question. Still some days before their birthday so they're not in their possission yet. I couldn't help myself unpacking one carefully - fortunately no tape in packaging except user manuals - and tried it out. For the price I'm totally impressed. Sure it haven't got Atmos but the old tried and tested Dolby 5.1 is still very nice and the difference to Atmos on something that is not a full blown distinct speaker setup is not as large an upgrade as it sounds on paper. The perfect soundbar to pair with a streaming device (they got that last year). The few movies HBO has with Atmos and I've tried on my own... Well it perhaps adds a little (I have already thought up buying the rear speakers) but by far the biggest step up from regular TV stereo is the first - from stereo to virtual surround - and that the SF150 is more than capable of delivering and even at a nice volume (no soundbar will never satishfy anybody that expects Cervin Vega crazy loud volumes)
It seems like all soundbar manufacturers have progressed as far as they can with premium soundbars so now they are going in the opposite direction by producing cheap soundbars.
I just replaced my cheap LG soundbar for this one. And I am not impressed at all. The sound feels muted somehow, the voice enhancement HAS to be on, otherwise it sounds very dark. The sound field effect makes everything sound fake and odd. Only 3 settings for the sub volume, no setting for treble or mid tones. I have a new so y tv too, and the “use tv as center speaker” make no difference at all.. There’s a volume control delay when you turn it up or down, so it takes way too long time to turn the volume up or down.. I need a few more days for testing before I return it to the store. Very disappointed, and all these reviewers make it sound like it’s top of the line sound. It is stuffed with useless features that only makes it sound worse. I have watched SO many reviews on this soundbar before deciding to buy it, it’s a lot of money. And I feel cheated, and clickbaited. They all got this from sony for advertising, and it shows in their overly positive reviews. Don’t listen to these guys. It had a cheap LG soundbar, and it blows this one out of the water. I don’t know what it is with youtubers these days, every product they review is just fantastic apparently 😔
699?! For this toy? For this garbage? I payd 5 years ago This price For a Bose 10 series 4 active woofer And 5 redline double cubes On ebay With guarantie This is a damn good system F...c.k. Soundbar garbage! And for this price!!! 🙈😂😂😂🙈🙈🤦♂️🤦♂️

How does it compare to the Sennheiser Ambeo?
Happy to see you back on RUclips ❤😊 Jonah matthes
Welcome back!
Awesome that you compared the size physically. It really puts it into perspective. With the price difference, the A5000 seems good enough for smaller apartments. Thank you!
The 5000 is suited well for large apartments too

Sound bar sound like what my tv should of sounded like out of the box lol.
sony ht rt40 is it worth buying ???
Yes if you like this
Does it come with wall mount template?
It is Sony,not cheap toy factory like LG and Samsuck. So answer is yes
Interesting en well reviewed video, thank you. I am still in doubt to buy the Sony set (HT-A3000 + SA-RS5 + SA-SW5) or the Sonos set (Beam Gen2 + One SL (2x) + Sub G3)

Ow and I have the newest Sony Oled tv (Sony Bravia OLED XR-A90K (2022) )
Sony!
good to see you back! thanks for the review
I have a crazy question I have a 2009 Insignia 32-in TV could I or could I not used to HDMI input for the soundbar instead of digital optical?
After the Sony soundbar and the Sony rear speakers are connected, can the sound volume level on the rear speaker be changed without changing the sound level of the soundbar? In other words, can the sound level of the rear speakers be adjusted individually and independently?
Also, can the soundbar remote control be used to turn ON/OFF the soundbar and the rear speakers simultaneously?
Thank you!
I don't think so. If you want that level of control I'd recommend the Samsung Q990C soundbar. You can adjust every individual speaker on that system.
Yes you can, you have the option to adjust the rear speakers independently from the soundbar
Do you have a recommendation for a Dolby Atmos soundbar for around 300 to 500? Thank you.
You could probably pick up the Sony ZF9/Z9F soundbar for no more than 300 if you look around ebay and stuff. I loved that soundbar. Only recently upgraded to a £1800 dolby atmos setup but in small - medium sized rooms the ZF9 sony soundbar is Phenomenal!

Hello i am looking to setup traditional sound system for theater experience, can you help me your opinion in Origin Acoustics sound systems?
thanks for the review

Awaiting video of best soundbar of 2022... include Samsung q990b- latest model
There you are! 😊
I got this sound bar.I hooked up with my Sony a80k tv .I felt sound from tv speakers were good compare to sound bar .I need some help in setting up this sound bar.looking forward to see more videos on this soundbar.
Just read user manuals
KEEP YOUR HEAD UP BRUH...

What would win?
HTA5000 + RS5 VS HTA7000 + RS3?
A7000
1st comment. Nice to see you back!
Thanks
Big difference if you get that A5000 I recommend 👌 💯 % not that A3000 soundbar
We are waiting for your Samsung HW-Q990B soundbar review! :)
Can you please review samsung Q600A or 600B pls ?
Thanks very much. Shalom 🙏
Only Sony have 360 ° spatial sound quality, which is great, unique experience
Does it come with subwoofer?
What is the missing Hdmi in even for ?? Thxxx
Glad to see you. I was starting to get worried. I bought the A7000 and hated the sound, and it went right back to the store.
Only people withouth brain can say something for best soundbar in World
I have a 2021 model LG Led TV, should I get an LG sound bar or would I be better of with something like this or another brands soundbar
It is not important which brand is other device,it is important to biy the best,and that is Sony.
Looking forward to your review of the Samsung Q990B 🙏🏻
The best
It seems like all soundbar manufacturers have progressed as far as they can with premium soundbars so now they are going in the opposite direction by producing cheap soundbars.
This system is only a couple hundred dollars less than the Sonos Arc. It does not seem, based on this review, to be worth the price.
I think the a3000 is too big for my 42 inch tv lol
Yeah i'd buy a 2.1 channel soundbar if you have a TV that small
I love you Jonah

Do not blame Sony,for somethong what you dont know set up! Read user manuals
@@marinac7676 What do you mean?
And I just realize it cost more than my tv some ima have to skip it lol.
Bought an A3000 last month and so far not blown away. Lot of money for average performance. Disappointed.
🍻
699?!
For this toy?
For this garbage?
I payd 5 years ago
This price
For a Bose 10 series 4 active woofer
And 5 redline double cubes
On ebay
With guarantie
This is a damn good system
F...c.k.
Soundbar garbage!
And for this price!!! 🙈😂😂😂🙈🙈🤦♂️🤦♂️
So sick people are around us...
$700
Man this soundbar sucks. Turning on the sound field sounds so artificial and boxy. Go with Bose or Sonos.
Q990C is pretty phenomenal
