the Sony HD ST 5000 is part of a small group of sound bars that tried to do the seemingly impossible generates around and hide effects from a speaker that sits underneath your TV given the modest dimensions of this system the sony does better than most with a very natural performance regardless of the content and yet the biggest drawback is its price at $1500 it's more expensive that our current favorite the samsung h WK 950 plus it lacks surround speakers but there's a whole lot that sony does right it's attractively designed with these distinctive co actual drivers and they work in tandem with these top mounted drivers which do a good job of bouncing effects off your ceiling there's no such thing as future-proof these days but the sony is at least up-to-date with three HDR compatible hdmi ports the speaker also offers Wi-Fi streaming with chromecast built-in which lets you cast from Spotify or your phone to this speaker or around your house of course the speaker also does bluetooth the Sony only supports Dolby Atmos and not rival format DTS X but there is a whole lot more content for Dolby right now anyway with the large dedicated subwoofer the sambar is able to put in a convincing performance with movies and music dialogue is clear and bass effects have felt just as well as they are heard music is perfectly natural sounding which is something that is very hard to pull off with any sound bar
