    Very good subwoofer. Not too big so you can place it anywhere in the house and won’t take up space. Links up to my HT-A5000 Sony soundbar easily and it makes the sound quality and performance overall better.

      Hi Sleisz,

      Thank you for the 5-star rating! We're glad you like the sound quality of the subwoofer. 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. It's great to hear that you were assisted well by our local dealer. Thank you for choosing Sony!

      Regards,
      David Sony_US

    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.

    Worse than the predecessor. Not worth it.

    This sub isn't cheap at all, and yet its performance is definitely a bit underwhelming. The old sub that came with the HT-ST5000 soundbar seems to have a bigger rumble and sounds so integrated where as the SW3 sub sounds loud, muddy and unnatural. I did room calibration a couple times and moved the sub to the corner of my living room, and it sounded better now. Still, this isn't a $350 sub. For $200? Sure. Even at $300, I'd say it's not worth it. Wait for a good deal on the SW5 sub or for Sony to release a new generation.

      Hi Kimukatsu,

      We’re sorry to hear the SA-SW3 hasn't quite lived up to your expectations compared to your previous setup. While it's designed for a more compact and balanced bass response, we recommend ensuring that the Sound Field Optimization is rerun after any placement changes to help the system integrate the "Omnidirectional Block" design more naturally with your soundbar. If you still find the depth lacking for your space, the SA-SW5 does offer a more powerful 300W output and a passive radiator specifically designed for that deeper, cinematic rumble you're looking for.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

      Best regards,

    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.
