Product Overview
Sony HT-A7000 is a high-end all-in-one soundbar with 11 channels, including a built-in subwoofer. Outputting 500W in total, the HT-A7000 supports a full suite of surround sound processing protocols and can be paired with optional subwoofers and wireless rear speakers unveiled at the same time.
With two up-firing speakers, two beam tweeters, and a built-in subwoofer, the HT-A7000 creates convincing virtual surround sound. It also support Dolby Atmos and DTS:X as a result.

Reviewer score 79% (normalized by Neofiliac)The HT-A7000 is a feature-loaded Dolby Atmos soundbar that sounds great on its own. It's even better when accompanied by Sony's optional wireless subwoofers and surround speakers. With an easy-to-use on-screen interface, taking advantage of the speaker's full potential is more intuitive than with some of the competition.
Pros
- Excellent audio performance
- Dolby Atmos support
- Built-in wireless subwoofer
- Easy-to-use on-screen interface
Cons
- Doesn’t support Chromecast or AirPlay
- No HDMI input

Reviewer score 29% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Sony HT-A7000 soundbar is good for dialogue-centric content like TV shows. Its neutral sound profile helps reproduce dialogue clearly and accurately. However, it lacks low-bass, so you don't feel the deep rumble in action-packed scenes. It supports surround and Atmos content, though its performances are disappointing overall.
Pros
- Dedicated sub and satellites
- Balanced, neutral sound profile
- Dialogue enhancement feature
Cons
- Lacks low-bass
- Poor surround and Atmos performance
- Doesn't get very loud

Reviewer score 74% (normalized by Neofiliac)The HT-A7000 is a wonderful, powerful soundbar, but it comes at a hefty premium. It's a great match for PS5 at the moment, but losing VRR on Xbox is hard to swallow for this kind of money. Sony's 300W subwoofer can push out some truly growling, reverberating bass.
Pros
- Sleek, comfortable design
- Vibrant, immersive sound
- Built-in subwoofer
Cons
- No VRR or ALLM passthrough
- No HDMI 2.1 support

Reviewer score 86% (normalized by Neofiliac)Cinema' and ‘Standard' sound modes are selected. So effective and transparent is the performance of these wide tweeters that while watching the opening scene of Gravity in Dolby Atmos we repeatedly check that there isn't a speaker immediately to our side. In terms of height and precision, the performance is similar to that of the Sonos Arc but the width of the soundstage is more convincing.
Pros
- Vibrant, immersive sound
- Impressive Atmos performance
- Integrated subwoofer
Cons
- No S-Force Pro Front surround
