Before you believe a bad review about us

We would like to respond openly to every negative review about us. Many are posted anonymously, so we cannot reach those customers directly. This open letter is our reply, and we would be grateful if you took a moment to read it.

But here is what a one-star review will never tell you:

  • We import from 70+ official distributors. That is why you pay far less than local retail — and why delivery takes longer. We publish the date before you pay, never after.
  • You can pay only when your goods land in Johannesburg. Pay on Arrival, no full payment up front. Ask yourself what scammer offers that.
  • Nobody has ever lost money with us. You get the product, or you get a refund. There is no third option, and there never has been.
  • We are part of the ITwork group — ten years trading in Europe, nine stores, thousands of positive reviews.
  • Johannesburg and Cape Town stores open this year — real shelves, real stock, walk in and buy the same day.

We are not satisfied with our review scores, and we are not going to fix them by hiding anything. We are fixing them by being faster, clearer and easier to reach than any reason to complain.

Read the full letter — photos and video of real shipments, and a straight answer to every accusation.

Sony HT-A3000 is a 3.1-channel Dolby Atmos® soundbar that combines three front speakers including a dedicated centre channel and a built-in dual subwoofer to deliver clear dialogue, wide soundstage and deep bass. It supports Sound Field Optimisation using built-in microphones to tune audio to your room and can be expanded with optional wireless rear speakers and subwoofers for fuller immersion and 360 Spatial Sound Mapping.

Advantages

The HT-A3000 provides Vertical Surround Engine and X-Balanced speaker design to create an expansive soundstage from a single soundbar. Sound Field Optimisation measures your room layout and adjusts sound automatically for the best possible result. Acoustic Centre Sync can use a compatible BRAVIA TV as the centre speaker to improve dialogue localisation. You can upgrade bass performance and overall immersion by adding one of two optional subwoofers and by pairing wireless rear speaker sets to enable 360 Spatial Sound Mapping.

Key specifications

  • Channels: 3.1-channel configuration (three front speakers with dedicated center + built-in dual subwoofer)
  • Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X support for object-based surround sound
  • Vertical Surround Engine and S-Force PRO Front Surround virtual surround technologies
  • Sound Field Optimisation using built-in microphones to tune audio to room acoustics
  • Acoustic Centre Sync compatibility with selected BRAVIA TVs
  • Expandable with optional wireless rear speakers and optional subwoofers for 360 Spatial Sound Mapping

How to use

Place the soundbar centrally below or in front of your TV and connect it via HDMI e ARC/ARC or optical cable according to your TV’s outputs. Run the Sound Field Optimisation routine so the built-in microphones can measure the room and adjust the sound automatically. If you have a compatible BRAVIA TV, enable Acoustic Centre Sync in the TV settings to use the screen as the centre speaker. To expand the system, pair the optional wireless rear speakers and connect an optional subwoofer following the supplied instructions to activate 360 Spatial Sound Mapping.

Recommendations

For best results, position the soundbar centrally and avoid placing it inside a closed cabinet. Use the Sound Field Optimisation in your normal listening position, and consider adding Sony wireless rear speakers and a compatible subwoofer to obtain full 360 Spatial Sound Mapping and richer bass.
Key Highlights
  • Stunning 3.1 channel Dolby Atmos® soundbar, with Vertical Surround Engine technology, plus X-Balanced speakers bring an incredible sound stage
  • Sound Field Optimisation technology intelligently measures the layout of your room using built-in microphones, to tune the sound accordingly and give you the best sound experience possible. Add rear speakers for unique 360 Spatial Sound Mapping that delivers the ultimate immersive experience
  • Acoustic Centre Sync allows your compatible BRAVIA TV to become part of the action, by connecting to the A3000 and making the TV screen the centre speaker
  • Upgrade with one of two powerful subwoofers to bring you rich bass, clear fidelity and minimal distortion. Plus further enhance the immersiveness and bring 360 Spatial Sound Mapping to your content with our 2 rear wireless speaker sets

8/10

Verdict: The Sony HT-A3000 may lack the 'real' up-firing channels and power of its step-up siblings, but it still delivers an excellent upgrade on your TV's built-in sound system for relatively little money. It offers a great if expensive upgrade path, too. PROS...

Pros
  • Big sound for a relatively small soundbar
  • Optional upgrade speakers are very good
  • Good format support
Cons
  • Bass is a bit light for films
  • Optional upgrade speakers are expensive
  • No HDMI loopthrough

Verdict: (Image credit: What Hi-Fi? / Netflix, Agent Elvis)The Sony HT-A3000 will almost certainly be a preferable alternative to your TV's built-in speakers. However, it can't quite match the Atmos performance of its similarly priced Sonos rival. That being said...
