Sony is known for its quality audio products and it has brought two new premium soundbars to India, namely Sony HT A3000 and A5000. They are available currently but there’s a small catch. You can’t buy them on their own but will have to grab them with the SW3 subwoofer as a bundle package, at the very least. Yes, there are combo packages that you can opt for. We’ll be getting into those details shortly, but first, let’s have a quick lowdown of their respective feature set.
Sony HT A3000 and A5000: Specs and Features
The key differentiating factor between the two is their speaker configuration: - Sony HT A5000 is a 450W soundbar with 5.1.2-channel surround sound. This includes 3 forward-firing speakers, 2 beam tweeters, 2 upward-firing speakers, and 1 subwoofer.
- Sony HT A3000, meanwhile, comes equipped with a 240W 3.1-channel surround sound. This consists of 3 forward-firing speakers and a built-in dual-driver subwoofer.
Other than this, both of them offer comparable features like Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, 360 Spatial Sound, Acoustic Centre Sync (with compatible Bravia TVs only), 1 HDMI-in, 1 HDMI-out (HDMI ARC/eARC), Bluetooth 5, WiFi, AirPlay, Chromecast, Spotify Connect, and support for popular smart assistants from Google and Amazon (Alexa).
Sony HT A3000 and A5000: Price and AvailabilityComing to the combo packages mentioned in the beginning:
- You can purchase Sony HT A3000 and Sony SW3 subwoofer combo at ₹83,980, and A5000 with Sony SW3 subwoofer at ₹1,11,980.
- If you want to couple the soundbars with a more powerful Sony SW5 subwoofer, then the A3000 combo will cost you ₹1,10,980 and the A5000 combo will set you back by ₹1,38,980.
- Additionally, you can also add the RS3 or RS5 wireless rear speakers in the mix for ₹30,990 and ₹47,990 respectively. Needless to say, these are on top of what the soundbar+subwoofer package would cost.
- You can purchase the desired combo from Amazon India and shopatsc.com. Starting December 14, they will be available at Sony Center and other major retail stores as well.
