Sony HTA9000 Soundbar

تجربتي مع SONY BRAVIA SOUNDBAR 9 خرافية وصوت محيطي 360 درجه باحترافيه .. كما انني املك الباقة المكملة وهي سماعات خلفية عدد 2 تحت مسمى Sony SA-RS5 Speaker System - 180 W RMS - Black (SARS5) وأيضاً أمتلك مضخم صوت يدعى Sony SA-SW5 300W Additional Wireless Subwoofer وأخيراً تلفزيون SONY BRAVIA 9 بحجم 85 بوصة .. انه افضل اختيار لخوض حساة مليئة بالانتعاش والحيوية سواء لمتابعة الأفلام والمسلسلات أو لعب PS5 Pro

After some hesitation, I purchased the Bar 9 as a Black Friday bundle for $1500 with the SW3 subwoofer and RS8 rear speakers. I'm very happy with the full package -- in spite of some lukewarm reviews online (but those are mostly about the Bar 9 alone). The full package provides a fantastic surround sound for Dolby Atmos movies. I did quite a bit of comparing with the Samsung Q990F which is generally touted as the best package in this price range, but I'm not convinced that it sounds better. Especially with one of the new Bravia TVs (A95L in my case), I believe the Sony integration is worth it. Acoustic Center Sync is actually great -- dialogue coming straight from the screen as opposed to a narrow center channel underneath, and the difference is very noticeable. The SW3 bass is more than enough for me, but you are welcome to splurge on the SW5 and/or the RS5 rear speakers if you so desire. For me, this package is perfect. A note on the Bar 9 itself -- I'm not sure if it's the best choice on its own. The bass performance is limited, and the "phantom speakers", while a cool concept, cannot replace physical surround speakers. Based on my testing, and especially knowing what the full system sounds like, I would not go for it. My rating reflects the full package.

If you read online reviews, this Bar gets mostly stellar reviews and is recommended. In my experience though, the soundfield was distinctly underwhelming (for my ear). It doesn't have Chromecast which the previous model did (a requirement for me), and it lacks any form of display. You would be surprised inconvenient that is when trying to establish inputs and what audio format is being detected. Sony appears to think that using their App is the answer, not for me I'm afraid. For a premium product and given the glowing reviews, I was personally seriously disappointed and underwhelmed. I returned it.

Excellent sound quality esp. for listening to music. Much better than samsung Q990f soundbox. For movie surround effect need to get bass and satellite speakers. The issue it's too expensive and pricey for what you get.

Great soundbar
