Awful
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.Awful app and doesn’t stay connected. No service to speak of if it is working the sound quality is pretty good. But most of the time it’s a heavy paper weight
No, I would not recommend this to a friendRated 5 out of 5 stars
Formation Bass
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Essential addition to the Formation Sound bar. It really takes the sound to the next level. Love the option to turn it up or down in the app. Watching regular TV I turn it down. Movies its FULL BLAST! I did not have any issues with setup with the app.

Great Balnce
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.Perfect add to your Formation sound bar. It is an expensive system, but will no longer need to replace mediocre systems because of subpar products. My buyers remorse was gone in two days since I know I won’t be purchasing mid tier systems once a year. Think of it as an investment that you can build over time.

EXCELLENT
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.If you are looking for Boom Box bass, ignore this sub. If you are looking for clarity and true bass, then spend the extra money. They use Bowers and Wilkins products in Abbey Road Studios, what does this tell you? Personally, I have never heard better for the price range.

This bass is must-have
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.I own the Formation Duo. Reading other reviews I didn't think I'd need the bass. I was wrong. The bass adds to the user experience. Great subwoofer

Barrell Keg Subwoofer Delivers the Goods
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Super cool looking subwoofer that packs a punch. Must be combined with the W&B soundbar though. And managing the config of the soundbar and the woofer is done thru the B&W app. However, that part is straight forward. Only negative is the price of B&W products. I bought both the soundbar and woofer as returned, open box items to save hundreds of dollars. Very competitive products at a discount but not at full price.

Q: QuestionWhat is the RCA connector on the back of the formation bass for? Has no label for it on the device and nothing mentioned anywhere online. Hoping it's a digital out so I can connect a better 3rd party sub because this one is too small for our family room
Asked by GrndMstrG.
- A:Answer That connection is non-functional.
Answered by Bowers & Wilkins Team
Q: QuestionCan I add a 2nd sub to my formation system or isn’t worth it?
Asked by Colombiano.
- A:Answer No, you can't. I have two bass units and tried putting both in the same room and it wouldn't let me.
Answered by GrndMstrG
Q: QuestionCan the Formation wireless subwoofer be used with traditional B&W speakers (not Formation) and wirelessly connected to a standard AV receiver with Bluetooth capability? Or can it only be used as part of a Formation system?
Asked by MJM86.
- A:Answer As far as I know from my experience with this sub, you can not. At least in the easy way.
