Review: Sony’s latest & greatest Soundbar, the A7000
Added 2021-09-24 18:11:29 +0000 UTCI enjoy watching movies at home. Outside of making YouTube videos it’s been my biggest and most consistent passion since the 1980s. Movie nights can be my happiest times and while must-see new movies have been very thin on the ground over the last couple of years I’ve still been enjoying catching up on 4K and HD remasters of classics movies as well as discovering some films that passed me by first time.
Since the foreseeable future involves staying at home rather than traveling the world, I ‘invested’ my 2020 refunded holiday money into a new TV and more recently I spent what would likely have been my 2021 holiday fund on the latest Sony Soundbar (and accessories) to accompany it. Here’s my video all about it.
In other news - I aim to do a really quick video next, just something that’s cool and easy to show, that way I should be able to move straight onto the September (Oct?) Patreon update video. So hopefully I’ll have more to say then, but in the meantime, take care and have a great weekend.
UPDATE: As a result of the Patreon feedback - I’ve added some extra sections to the video that cover the previously unmentioned things that were being asked about.
The timestamps for the new sections are below:
31:28 - 32:39 Voice Enhance
35:08 - 37:05 Power off & Solo Soundbar
37:38 -39:46 Music Playback quality & features
The video embedded above and linked above is the new version.

Just watching this for a second time (still very entertained!) and one thought I had is that if you pulled the wooden cabinet under the tv forward from the wall by an inch or so and kept the tv at the back of it with a slight overhang, you'd probably be able to accommodate that HDMI cable in the back of the soundbar for your PS5. I realise that you'd lose some valuable floor real estate!

2021-09-30 21:58:33 +0000 UTCI have never liked Sony audio as a person in my 40s everything made from the late 90s until fairly recently seems to produce big sound. Lots of bass and lots of everything else but not with precision. I am no audiophile. I’ve even owned some Sony gear but I’ve ended up regretting it later when hearing Marantz JBL or Yamaha. I’m interested to hear how you feel in 12 months.
