The New Sony HT-A7000 Dolby Atmos Soundbar

A few months ago, Upsie compared Samsung, LG, and Denon Dolby Atmos Soundbars. If that comparison didn’t provide enough choices, Sony recently threw its hat into the Dolby Atmos soundbar ring with the Sony HT-A7000.

Besides Dolby Atmos, this new soundbar will also work with Sony 360RA. True audiophiles who want to bring home the sound experience of a movie theater or live show should keep an eye on this model.

CNET offered some highlights of the Sony HT-A7000 soundbar:

According to Engadget, this new soundbar supports both Dolby Atmos and Sony’s 360 Reality Audio (360RA). In addition, it promises a 360-degree experience with object-based, spatial audio tech. Because it supports both formats, it offers more options for streaming services and compatible devices.

Sony intends for the HT-A7000 to replace the Sony HT-ST5000. However, unlike its predecessor, the HT-A7000 doesn’t come with a wireless subwoofer. Typically, high-end soundbars do include a wireless subwoofer, so that news might surprise some people.

Still, Sony mentioned that they had a good reason for leaving the subwoofer out. Apparently, customers asked the company to unbundle the soundbar and subwoofer because it overpowered smaller spaces.

This way, customers can choose the best configuration for their needs. Some suggested add-ons include the SA-SW5 and SA-SW3 subwoofers or the SA-RS3S satellite speakers.

Expect to pay $1,300 for the soundbar. The soundbar can work alone, but some add-ons that will complete the setup include:

The SW5 subwoofer provides 300 watts, and the SW3 offers 200 watts. Additionally, all three of these options connect wirelessly to the soundbar for a seamless experience. Expect to see the HT-7000 soundbar and optional accessories on the market by autumn of 2021.

After investing over a thousand dollars in a high-end sound system, customers will want to ensure they can enjoy all of the promised features without fear of technical failure. Meanwhile, new sound devices don’t just reproduce audio. Instead, they connect with other devices and rely on high-tech sound and computer components with plenty of room for technical issues.

Just as with other sophisticated electronics, consumers will want to consider an extended warranty. Consider the advantages of Upsie protection:
