Not as good as I hoped
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I paired this with the Sony A5000 soundbar and SA-RS5 rear speakers on a Sony XR55 A80L TV. The sound from the soundbar and rear speakers already made some good low end but not floor shaking. My living room isn't large. I'm only about 8 feet from the TV sitting on the couch. My thought was the SA SW5 might be too much. This SA SW3 does add some low end but not as much as I was expecting. It can also get rather boomy sounding. That makes me wish it had an adjustable crossover point like my old Polk Audio sub had. The mid bass is easily handled by the soundbar and rear speakers. For my situation I would only need it to give me 80hz and lower frequencies. So now it makes me think I should have gotten the SA SW5. I would say this SA SW3 would be good if you lived somewhere that would disturb neighbors. If you live in a house though you might want more if you like bass.

Posted .Hi Chris, We appreciate your detailed review and understand your concerns regarding the low-end performance of your Sony SA-SW3. The SA-SW3 is designed to complement smaller spaces and provide a balanced bass experience without overwhelming the room. However, for users who prefer a more powerful bass response, the SA-SW5 might indeed be a better fit, especially in larger living spaces or for those who enjoy a more pronounced bass. Please follow the steps below to improve the bass output:
-Ensure the subwoofer is placed in an optimal location, preferably near a wall or in a corner, to enhance bass response.
-Check the settings on your soundbar and make sure the subwoofer level is appropriately adjusted. You can also try different sound modes to see if they enhance the bass.
-Ensure that your sound system and subwoofer have the latest firmware updates installed, as these can sometimes improve performance.
If you have any further questions or need assistance, please feel free to reach out to our product support team through this link: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/service?language=en_US. Or email us at [email protected] with the following details:

Subwoofer easy to use!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Connects great! Sounds good. It does fill the room with sound however, it is an expensive item that cost as much or more than the sound bar itself.

Sony Sub for my Sony Soundbar
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sub works really well and paired easily to my sound bar. Handles the low tone and leaves the sound bar to concentrate on mid and upper tones.

More than adequate in a room 24 x 18 in size
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I paired this with a new HT-A7000 Sony Atmos soundbar and a new 65" A80J TV. I was slightly concerned that the size of this unit would not adequately produce satisfying bass in my size room. I even went into the local store before delivery and posed this question whether I should have gotten the larger unit. The sales people were assuring that this unit would be adequate for my sized room and they were 100% correct. I do not feel the bass is lacking at all and have tested this with movies such as "Dune" or "Edge of Tomorrow" and it rumbled the room in good fashion. This sub will not rattle the furniture to the point it will start walking around the room, but that is not what I am after anyway. Music playback bass is also adequate, although this soundbar/subwoofer combo is not, to my ear, designed for music playback anyway. Well worth the cost.
