    This subwoofer compliments my Sony Soundbar and the sound is amazing! The connection process is incredibly easy. Just plug it in and the soundbar does the rest.

    We purchased this in combination with our Sony Bravia XR X95K tv & Sony HT-A5000 soundbar and Sony SA-RS3S rear speakers. This combination is perfect for us. Sound is clear and bass is powerful.

    Purchased the HT-A5000 sound bar with tv first and by itself it did not fill the room. Recently purchased this sub and rear surrounds and WOW!! Difference is night and day. Super easy to connect virtually plug and play. Only downside is everything streaming live is not the same sound. Movies vs some tv shows play different. No fault of the equipment. May move this to a smaller room and get larger tv and soundbar upgrades.

    I got this subwoofer open boxed and for about half the price it typically is at and I have to say this is a great value when you're combining it with the HT-A7000 or probably the HT-A5000 (haven't had a chance to hear that one, but I've heard great things about that soundbar). Even though this is not the top of the line subwoofer, it gets loud and helps with a lot of things that the soundbar does. It's a great addition if you have the money and you are looking to expand your sound system.

      We're thrilled to hear that the Sony SA-SW3 wireless subwoofer has exceeded your expectations and perfectly complements your Sony home theater system. Choosing the SW3 over the SW5 for an apartment setting was a great decision, as the SW3 is specifically designed to deliver clean, punchy bass without overwhelming smaller spaces. Your experience highlights exactly what makes this subwoofer an excellent choice for those looking to enhance their audio experience in contained environments.

      Hi Chazz,

      We're sorry to hear about the inconsistent sound quality with your SA-SW3. To resolve this, we recommend moving the subwoofer closer to the soundbar and away from other wireless devices (like routers or microwaves) that might cause interference. You can also try toggling the "RF Channel" setting in your soundbar's menu to "Off" and then back to "On" to find a clearer signal.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

      Best regards,
      Eliab Sony_US

      Hello JayDolla702,

      We appreciate your kind words! It’s great to know that your SA-SW3 is meeting your expectations. The Night Mode changes the sound coming from the speakers to be clear despite not being as loud, making it suitable for maintaining a peaceful environment, such as when someone wants to continue using their soundbar without worrying about disturbing others who might be sleeping. At Sony, we strive to deliver the best experience possible, and your feedback means a lot to us!

      Thank you for choosing Sony.
      Best regards,
      -Fred Sony_US
