Go Bose 900! Like I said in comments a minute ago. My old Bose 700 has wider soundstage than the Sony hta7000.....just doesnt have the Atmos effect. And $900] for the Bose 900, sure beats $1400 buyer remorse I got with the Sony hta7000. To put into context. Gymcanddy reviewed the Hta5000 not the 7000. The 7000 is bigger and all vs the 5000. Just try more than one like I did. Thanks yall
Great review…new subscriber! 😁 I have the Bose 900 Soundbar and have Bose 700 Soundbar…both have the beautiful glass top. If I’m standing up watching TV then yes I see the reflections. I guess I never stand up to watch TV so when I sit down, I don’t see the reflections. I have had people over and they never commented on any distractions with the glass top. The only thing that they have said is it sounds awesome!
@@robinlemvik3246 IMO I would definitely say yes! The volume is definitely louder and with the two up firing Atmos speakers it gives it a more wider soundstage. I am in the basement so I have a lower ceiling which does help. I still have both in my house the 900 and the 700…the 700 is still very good but my choice would be the 900. Of course, when the source material has Dolby Atmos then it really comes alive. If you can get the 700 for a really good deal then you have to take that to consideration.
I just returned the Bose 900. The 900 sound bar sounds great but their bass modules are crap. I originally purchased the 700 bass module and it crackled and popped a lot. I then returned that and decided to try the 500 bass module and same thing but not as bad as the 700. Until they can improve their wireless connection between sound bar & sub I’d steer clear especially for the price you pay. If you decide to try Bose purchase directly from them as they offer 90 day no risk with free return shipping.
It seems to be a common issue with a lot of wireless subwoofers lately. Be sure to lock down the 5.4ghz channel on your WiFi router, it can help fix a lot of these issues.
Watching this on my Bose 900 in white . Frustrating issues with the Bose have me looking at the Sony for research. Leaning towards the Sony in my research . Thanks a lot gym
What issues are you having? I have a Q800B new in box but can trade it in. Budget is about 1,000 or less. Any suggestions? They would let me trade if for a 900.
If the Samsung comes with the external woofer, it's kinda unfair to test it against sound bars with built in woofers. But I hear your point on space....but still lol
You make the best comparisons neutrally that I see on TH-cam, thank you for helping me understand with your explicit videos! I am looking for a sound bar, but I have too many doubts about which one to buy and I ask you to please help me choose which one to buy. My TV is Sony Bravia 95 I would like a comparison video about the Bose ultra and Sony a7000. Thank you !!!!!!!!
Thx for releasing this video bro...i was really wanting to know which was better...for me i think ill go for the samsung since my living room is bigger and i hve a samsung qn tv...is it ok if u can make a video about the samsung 950a soundbar vs the other soundbar?(u difinitely deserve the sub ❣)
people saying the bose 700 module pops and cracks a lot only happens when you place it near another wireless device like internet modem. if you can no option but that then you can use a wired connection with aux. Else try moving the bass module some place else
I found a Sony A5000 refurb for 399. I think I'll pick it up and get the sub as well. My current speakers were 20 year old Logitech Z550? And they just got flooded. Rip my old friend.
Hi I have a Sony A80J, I’m contemplating between a HT A5000 & Bose 900 which one would you recommend and does the Acoustic Center Sync make a big difference? Thanks
Love your reviews. Ive had Bose 700 Sb for 4yrs now. Still great. Went for an Atmos Sb recently. Was thinking Bose 900 since the 700 was so good. Any who. I bought the Sennheiser Ambeo and Sony 7000. Had to try both because of all the hype. So ended up like this. I was baffled at all the high praise about the Sony hta7000 after listen to both. I dont understand. The Sennheiser basically made the Sony sound like an alarm clock radio compared to the Ambeo. All my gear is Atmos ready. I know the Hta5000 is close to the 7000, but wow. The Sony Hta7000 was terrible campared to Ambeo. Anyone else try either of these with same result? Sont Hta7000 was promptly taken back for refund. Kept the Sennheiser. Bose 900 would surely sound better than the Sony. Sony $1400. Sennheiser $2000 right now. If you have the cash.....try both and let us know. Thanks everyone
AMBEO ALL DAY EVERYDAY! as a Sennheiser headphone user and using their GSX1000 dac/amp I knew Sennheiser AMBEO would be the pick! impressive soundbar and it blows away all other soundbars, it's paired with a martin logan subwoofer and its ASTONSHING
Amazing Demonstration. I congratulate you. Unfortunately I don’t have any chance to test this set physically so it’ll be a gamble for me to purchase the set (soundbar 900 + bass module 700) Would you recommend anything else (from SONY, SONOS, JBL, SAMSUNG, B&O etc.) in terms of overall quality and future proofing in the same price range?
The Bose bass module 700 is available to pair with the soundbar 900 but you have to pay more for it. It is beautifully built and a very reliable high quality set up that can last 25-30 years. Bose is known for its long lasting products in all types of conditions. The Sony can’t do that.
I am planning to buy a soundbar for my living room which is around 250sqft . I am confused between Bose Soundbar 900 , Bose Soundbar 600 or the Samsung Q990B. Only the Samsung comes with Surround speakers and woofer , i am very confused. Would like to know your suggestion
@GYMCADDY Hi I need your help I want to buy one of the two soundbars bose 900 or sony ht a5000 which is better? And which one is better in terms of sound please help and an answer thanks in advance.
I am confused between Bose soundbar 900 which dont have surround and sub Samsung q990b where i get the full setup including surrounds and Sub What will you suggest
I've got a Sony TV 9 series from 2 yrs ago. Looking for a sound bar, the review of the sony sound bar that it sounds flat worries me, but yet it's got all the connectivity. Sony or bose??? Help anyone.
I checked out the HT-A5000 in stores and it was terrible sounding at Best Buy, maybe they didn't bother calibrating it all and it was a unbox and set on a table situation but my god, it was awful
I feel like this video sucks at comparing the sounds because it keeps switching sooo often to where you theres not much of a difference and shows that its only the settings of what you put it at and I mean yeah there is a little difference you can hear but you keep changing it very often to where there little to no difference at all . So I feel like if you let it play out for a good 20-30 seconds each for each speaker then Yeah I can def tell the difference.
I hear what you say about the Q800A, the bass is good the the rest of the sound is kinda meh.... Kinda tinny and height effects with Atmos is pretty much non existent :/ Wished the A5000 was available where i live....
i had for sony hta7000-for 20 min then i apcked up i returned samsung because lack of base Bose wins for me, awesome bass and sound-surrounds arent perfect soundbar is so awesome it doesnt bother me

Excellent detailed review, thanks. I've gone for the Bose full setup. Cheers
The Bose has 2 compression drivers in addition to the speakers u mentioned.

Why did you not like the A7000? I thought with the sub and surround, it sounds great. Do you like the 900 more?
Just got the sony and really satisfied with its performance. I don't like excessive bass, I prefer more clarity on vocal.

u must know how to play the adjustment.after that it will definitely blow ur brain in a good way😅
Its probably best/meant for without the sub
Can't you wire it via a 3.5" cable.
Bose 900 and the Sub 700 is an awesome setup, just be sure to use the wired subwoofer connection, no pops, nor drops if wired.
I had the same popping issue and hard wired with an aux. amazing set up

You probably have something by now, but if you're still interested, they have cool lights which match the scene on the TV screen:
Govee LED
Great review I’ve been eying the Bose 900 for months I’m getting the Arctic white
Nice review with good detail every soundbar 👍

You are correct. The Ambeo smoked the Sony in my comparo. It is truely big ass sounding sob!
You’re comparing a 2k soundbar to a 1.4k sound bar. What crack are you smoking for that kind of comparison???
The Sony has hdmi 2.1 inputs and outputs. That’s instant win. You can connect a 4k 120 fps device.
Amazing Demonstration. I congratulate you. Unfortunately I don’t have any chance to test this set physically so it’ll be a gamble for me to purchase the set (soundbar 900 + bass module 700)
Would you recommend anything else (from SONY, SONOS, JBL, SAMSUNG, B&O etc.) in terms of overall quality and future proofing in the same price range?
Get Sony a7000. I ordered several from different places abusing return policy and a7K is the best
Sony and Bose are similar. Samsung have better bass because of external woofer. Overall Sony has the best sound.
1) Sony
2) Bose
3) Samsung

Great comparison and explanation! Thank you.
I am planning to buy a soundbar for my living room which is around 250sqft . I am confused between Bose Soundbar 900 , Bose Soundbar 600 or the Samsung Q990B.
Only the Samsung comes with Surround speakers and woofer , i am very confused.
Would like to know your suggestion
I am getting the NEW Bose Smart Ultra soundbar .
What do you think They are going to do for the JBL flip 7

Just watched your old jbl300 video. I see see great improvements in your physique. Keep up the good work
What settings on the EQ were you using when playing music from the Bose900?
I have the sony xr-x95k tv. Is the sony or the bose soundbar better?
how long is the ac cord on the sony HT-A5000
Is the Samsung worth for a Samsung Q symphony tv and for the price of about 400 euros ?

Can you get a sub for the sony seperately, just like bose soundbars or is it just a stand alone soundbar ?
Yeah there's a 200w sub and 300w sub option theres also rear speaker add-ons
Yes and some sweet rears
Which has a better overall sound quality ?
Sony seems like the more well rounded option here
Very good review
The video was great but unfortunately I am still confused between the Sony and Bose Soundbars. Any suggestions to have a much more clear decision ?
I feel like this video sucks at comparing the sounds because it keeps switching sooo often to where you theres not much of a difference and shows that its only the settings of what you put it at and I mean yeah there is a little difference you can hear but you keep changing it very often to where there little to no difference at all .

Is Sony hrs 5000 louder then Sonos arc
I hear what you say about the Q800A, the bass is good the the rest of the sound is kinda meh.... Kinda tinny and height effects with Atmos is pretty much non existent :/ Wished the A5000 was available where i live....
What game is that
Bose tend to leave the listener feeling headache or aching ears.
보스 900 👍
i had for sony hta7000-for 20 min then i apcked up
i returned samsung because lack of base
Bose wins for me, awesome bass and sound-surrounds arent perfect soundbar is so awesome it doesnt bother me
Sony is the best here
It sounds exactly like the Bose! What are you talking about?
@@werewolflover8636 sound very similar but it has more bass and the extra hdmi input... no hdmi input is a deal breaker for most, me included... plus it can be wall mounted without paying extra money
Hi again
Hello
Always Samsung 👌
I luv the old bose the new bose does not sound the same so i just got the samsung 👍
Who's buying Bose-crap anyway?
Me, Bose Smart Ultra soundbar
Bose use phaseguide tech. Not bass ports !
ho do these compare to LG 5.1.3 or sonos arc
Gaming, I give it to Sont
You have to get that sub sounds so bland without Samsung wins
bass is stronger on the Samsung
