    This subwoofer was exactly what I needed for my Sony soundbar. It’s worked seamlessly and provides the extra bass anyone movie enthusiasts wants. So happy with my purchase and it was an open box in perfect condition so the added savings was great as well.

      Hi AlvaroR, Thank you for sharing your positive experience with your SASW3! Glad your new Sony SASW3 worked as advertised, providing you with performance and quality you expected. We hope that the 200 watts of power is successfully filling your room with deep, rich bass. Make sure to run Sound Field Optimization through your paired A-Series audio system so that the subwoofer calibrates its performance to the surrounding environment. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Sam Sony_US

    Nice volumn in a small device. The blue tooth makes it very easy to pair with a sound bar.

      Hi, AllenP,

      Thanks for the review! We are glad the SA-SW3 has met your anticipated standards. Free of wires for ease of use and peace of mind, a Bluetooth connection that makes it so easy to connect to different devices and allowing the subwoofer to be placed in the most desirable locations without the hassle of wire.

      Thank you for choosing Sony, have a great day!

    This magical device works wonderfully. It has a power that I have never seen, I have tried high-end devices but this one makes the difference. In 2023, among all the devices I have seen on the market, it is the champion in all categories, I am very very very satisfied with it

      To help turn this around, we would appreciate the chance to look into your setup and help tune the audio to your specific space. Please reach out to our dedicated support team here: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=ht. We want to ensure your gear performs at the level it was designed for.

    It was not very loud. The bass was just ok for my open space. In a smaller area with closer walls, I think the subwoofer would be great. I paired it with the Sony 5000 sounds bar and connectivity was very easy. Definitely do the sound optimization feature to get your best sound with the sound bar; otherwise, you will not get the deeper bass tones.

      Hi AverageJoeTvWatcher,

      While we're glad you like that it connect seamlessly with your HT-A5000 soundbar, we regret to hear you're having a low-level sound output issue from the subwoofer. To resolve this issue, please refer to the following troubleshooting steps:

      • Press SW volume + or BASS + on the remote control of a compatible model to increase the subwoofer volume.
      • Set the night mode to off. For details, refer to the Operating Instructions supplied with a compatible model.
      • If the input sources contain very little bass sound components (i.e., a TV broadcast), the sound from the subwoofer may be difficult to hear. You can check the subwoofer sound by emitting the test tone.

      If you need further assistance regarding your concern, you can email us at [email protected] with the following details:
