    Excellent soundbar. I am a Sony fan and got this on sale. Could not ask for more. Awesome cinema sound with nice Dolby effects. Could use a little more height effect but overall great buy!!!!

    Amazing sound. I had a system of speakers which took up too much room. This sound bar not only replaced it, but also crushes what i had. I would highly recommend it.

    Does exactly what irts supposed to on a 55” Bravia tv, with the small (#3) Sony subwoofer. Ths model 9 is overkill for amaller tvs and rooms, unless you watch Top Gun at full volume every week, or live in your PS. Great product, great installers.

    On its own, it's not that amazing, BUT when you add the sub and rears, it's a fantastic experience! Would be five stars if it could hold its own as just a sound bar

    The Sony Theater * soundbar, I purchased to go along with my Bravia TV, but it was just ok for me and my listening demands. I purchased the SW3 wireless subwoofer to help with the bass tones for Home Theater, but it did not compare to my wired sub and I was ultimately less than satisfied with the bass produced.

      Hi GuyR,

      We’re sorry to hear the SA-SW3 didn’t provide the deep bass response you were looking for. While the SW3 is a great compact option, we recommend the SA-SW5 subwoofer for more demanding home theater setups, as its 300W output and larger 180mm driver with a passive radiator deliver significantly deeper, more cinematic bass that rivals wired alternatives. Additionally, please ensure you’ve run the "Sound Field Optimization" in the BRAVIA Connect app, which calibrates the subwoofer to your specific room acoustics for improved impact.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

      Best regards,

      Eliab Sony_US

    Excellent sound bar. Downloading the App and setting up with my Sony Bravia 7 tv was quick and painless. The soundstage is very wide and detailed. It pairs very well with the SA-SW5 sub. A definite recommend especially if you have a Sony Bravia tv.

    When we listen to the sound system in the store, it sounded great. However, when we brought it home and set it up for the instructions, we had to turn off the rear speakers in order to hear the voice. Think something must’ve been the matter with the sound bar, I told them when I returned it. They had a Samsung system on sale last year‘s model and we bought that and it works fantastic true theater sound in our own living room
