Sony - BRAVIA Theater Sub 9 Wireless Subwoofer - Black

Sony has always been top for home audio and video from their new RGB TV’s and their new sound systems they slacked in the SUB area with the previous top model being the SW5 which I had paired with my Bravia theater quad system. The quad system itself is amazing but has no bass and the SW5 added little excitement. Now we get the new gen with the SW9 which has two facing 8” drivers similar to Sonos which actually cancels out cabinet vibrations. Adding the SW9 to my quads was easier than I expected as I thought I’d have to disconnect the SW5 from the app and load the SW9 and recalibrate but none of that was needed. Just plug and go. Now for the sound. My goodness this changed everything. The system must get 30% louder and the sub is capable of low tones I had not heard from Sony before. A crisp clean bass thump that sounds well defined and punchy. Not only does this speaker perform great, it looks great as well. Action scenes provided a more robust engagement and music with bass seemed reconstructed over the system when I had the SW5 going. All clean bass without distortion. You can read other reviews for stats this is solely based on listening and the difference between the SW5 and SW9. Downside with the quads they currently only support one sub while the newer Bravia trio supports two. My living room is large and one sub is good but 2… that would be a great option. Overall fantastic speaker all the way around that you need if you have the quads or trio.

Been using it for about a month, Paired with a theater Bar 9 and RS5 rears. Previously had the SW5 sub from the last generation, always felt it didn't have enough punch. Its not even close, this new Sub 9 blows that one out of the water. This sub goes really deep and the bass has a lot of Nuance. its just not waiting around, it actually support the main sound in the background and takes over when it needs to. It helps to add a lot of body to the sound which was missing in the SW5. There is an option to use 2 subs , don't think that is need except if you have a really large space as 1 is powerful enough. Watched movies like Fury, Pacific Rim ,Ready player one , Star trek , transformers , Blade runner and the impact this Sub produces has the room shaking. U feel the air moving in your chest. This is the true Cinema sub. Very pleased with my purchase. Get it ASAP

I upgraded from a 1st generation Sonos. I went with product to go with my Sony Bravia 9 TV, soundbar and surround speakers. After Sonos killed off it's 1st generation app, I had problems with sound syncing to the screen. Going all Sony wireless sound worked perfectly and I had the entire set up done in an hour. Only downside and not really worth taking a star away IMO is the weight of the BASE.

Outstanding bass and optimal performance with Bravia Soundbar 9.

Upgraded from the SW5. No comparison. The Sony Sub 9 is miles ahead of the SW5. Ended up picking up two of them to pair with my theater bar 9. Words can’t explain how awesome my home theater sounds now. If you’re debating on upgrading from an older sub model such as the SW5, do it!!
