The HT-A3000 is Sony's entry-level 3.1-channel soundbar, with a dedicated center speaker for dialogue and two built-in subwoofers instead of a separate box. It decodes Dolby Atmos and DTS:X and uses Sony's Vertical Surround Engine and S-Force PRO processing to spread sound without up-firing drivers. It suits people who want a clean one-piece setup with eARC, Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2 and Chromecast built in. Against rivals like the Sonos Beam and Bose Smart Soundbar 600, it is wider and heavier and brings more bass on its own, but it has no upward-firing speakers and its virtual height effects are modest. Owners rate it around 3.7 out of 5: they like the dialogue clarity and bass for the size, and some find the setup and app fiddly and the virtual surround unconvincing.
