HT-A9000 BRAVIA Theater Bar 9 with Dolby Atmos
Product Details
Web ID: 5525817Never going back!
I’ve never had a large soundbar like this before, but I LOVE it! It provides a surround sound experience without having speakers need to be placed around the room and it’s compact but still is aesthetically pleasing so it will have a great spot on my mantle. It connected seamlessly to my TV and phone and I’m very excited to keep using it for both music and watching TV.

Great for at home theater experience
Sony audio devices are no doubt one of the best in the market. From headphones to speakers and soundbar, Sony is consistent in producing devices with impressive sound quality. I tested this Bravia Theater Bar through the Dolby Atmos sound test via Youtube and it felt like I was in a movie theater! It passed the surround sound as well as clearly identifying the moving audio. This sound bar boasts a cinema-style surround sound with 360 spatial sound mapping and it’s absolutely true based based on my personal experience. It has 13 speakers units which definitely helped deliver a crisp and clear sound with powerful bass. The app was okay, didn’t really use it much after downloading it, maybe only once and that was it. But, if you’re the type of person who loves to customize audio settings then you would definitely often use the app. I like how you can easily connect devices through this sound bar, I can play spotify music through my phone and I love the sound quality experience. Highly recommend and so thankful for influenster for giving me a chance to try this amazing sound bar from Sony!

Good but could be better
I’m pretty sure that there are better sound systems out there. We can hardly tell if the sound is coming from the TV speaker or the Sony BRAVIA Bar. There is no difference. We try to change the bass and the sound field/night mode, but it’s still not much of a difference. The remote control stopped working after two weeks (we added brand new batteries in). Before the remote control went bad, there was no telling that the remote is doing what we’re pressing. Nothing is showing up on the screen to indicate the volume has gone up or down. If we press any of the other options, the sound would pause (cut off) and then come back. We took that as an indication that the remote is doing what we wanted to do. But, again, the remote does not work anymore and I uploaded the BRAVIA app to use instead of the remote. Sometimes, the sound bar won’t connect to my phone and I have to keep retrying until it connects. The plus thing is we can control the volume using the TV’s remote control, but we can’t use any of the other options. It’s also important to note that i installation steps weren’t easy to follow. I ended up looking up the steps online to understand the parts and how they work.

Disappointing!
I was very excited about this sound bar, however, I was very disappointed with the quality of the sound. I have a Bravia TV so setting up the bar to the subwoofer was very easy to do. Singing this is what is the top-of-the-line Sony sound bar? I thought I was going to be blown away by the sound, but I ended up being disappointed voices were muddled, and the projection of the sound was moderate at best I compared the Sound bar to two other top-of-the-line sound bars, and I decided to return the Sony Bravia 9 sound bar.

Hi Jrnfla, Thank you for telling us about your experience with your Sony BRAVIA Theatre Bar 9. We regret to hear that you find the sound quality not as great as you would have liked and it hasn't performed to your standards. We understand that we have different preference when it comes to audio. That is why we include ways to adjust the sound quality to your liking. All of this is included in the manual that came with the unit. To ensure that you are getting the most out of your HT-A9000, we recommend to make sure to run Sound Field Optimization so that the HT-A9000 can calibrate its performance to your environment, and that it sounds like it was engineered to be in your room. The voice zoom works to adjust the volume of human voices when a TV compatible with the linkage function of the speaker system is connected. When voice zoom is turned on, the last adjusted value in the TV menu or remote control screen on the app will be applied. We regret to hear that the speaker had to be returned. We could've walked you through with some troubleshooting and offer assistance with our product. We hope you will consider Sony again in a future purchase. Thank you for the feedback. Sincerely, Jess
Perfect home theatre
Amazing home theatre! The sound quality is perfect, it feels like I’m at a movie theatre. Easy to setup and connect to my tv. The setup also takes the layout of the room into consideration so the sound travels nicely. Good weight to it, feels durable. Worth the splurge!

Exceptional quality and simple setup
Fantastic sound quality and sleek design. Easy to set up and install - so good I feel like I need to upgrade tv to go with it. Not sure on placement if your tv is not wall mounted- you may need a slightly longer cord to be able to place separately from tv. Overall a great product for my smaller space

Beautiful sound
The sound quality of this speaker is great so far. I’m relieved it has voice mode so that I can balance the shows that have loud music and quiet talking. My only gripe is that the instruction manual is really sparse. The QR code on it just takes you to download an app. Then the app was really weird about creating an account and logging in. It was about a 15 minute process. But now that it’s all set up I’m satisfied with it!
