Pros

Sound clarity is exceptional. The audio is crisp, clear, and loud when you want it to be. Music is ofcourse exceptional, and i mean live on stage clarity.

The included template allows you to pinpoint the exact spot where the holes need to be drilled. The options are very intuitive just looking at the screen. Sony includes all the usual paperwork to get you started including a large, folding initial setu...  Read More

Even without a paired subwoofer, the bass is impressive. Treble and bass are robust. The only comparisons i have is a $250 gaming headphones and a $400 heymaker headphones.

There are two beam tweeters one on each side of the bar that work to deliver sound reflection to the sides of the room and then to ceiling. This sound bar handles 3d sound similar to the gaming headphones and has a richness close to the haymakers. It ...  Read More

It mimics surround sound so well that i am beyond happy with it. It basically calibrates itself. The surround sound feel is just amazing.



Cons

I can't even fathom the quality what the sub plus two rear speakers connected would be likefor a daily use.

Packaging/appearance


Sony designed notches into the back of the soundbar, so you can comfortably run the cables and wires to a tv and a power outlet.


This is fantastic and i routinely use the soundbar to stream music from spotify and amazon music.


- the sony music center app does not inform to the user what type of movie audio content (dolby digital/atmos) is being played ...  Read More


It'll put the menus right up on the screen.

Competitiveness


This bar is worth every penny of it's heafty price tag.


The sound bar also comes with wall-mount bracket, hdmi and optical cables and a remote control.


I went to a store to test the 5000 with its competitors before mine arrived from amazon.


This sound bar also has a chromecast built-in, supports airplay 2, and can be linked with spotify connect, alexa, and google assistant.

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This is a large soundbar measuring almost 48 inches in width keep this in mind if you have a smaller sized tv because it may not fit under even a 55 depending on the location of the feet
