    This subwoofer delivers awesome room filling sound from the lower register spectrum no matter the source!! The bass is more than I expected! I thought I was going to have to get the a larger subwoofer but this subwoofer is getting the job done and very well I do say!! The balance of just the right amount of bass and the smooth rich full sound is just right for my master bed room, bass is not too boomy which is good, I don't want to disturb the neighbors!! Pleased with this purchase!

    Good, decent sub. I have it connected via Bluetooth to an HTA 5000 soundbar. Easy connection, small unit and puts out enough bass for most material. I wish the soundbar could connect up to a real sub, but it can’t, so you get two choices, this one or the bigger brother for $700. The Bluetooth connectivity is awesome, which is convenient. Don’t expect flor shaking rumbles but it does add punch.

    I own a home theater 7.2 in my living room and I bought the bar 8 for my bedroom and I chose this subwoofer to go with it. The bass it delivers is the same as a bar with subwoofer of 200 dollars, the bass is not real clean as others perform, my polk subwoofer in my living room cost me 200 dollars more but out performs this sony subwoofer by 20 times at least. I love how the bar 8 sounds but this subwoofer not a good match, maybe the other one that cost 700 will do justice

      Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback, JuniorH.

      We are happy to hear that you love the sound of your new Bravia Theatre Bar 8! However, we are sorry to hear that the SA-SW3 subwoofer isn't providing the deep, clean bass response you’ve come to expect from your home theater experience.

      Since you are used to a high-performing 7.2 system, we understand your desire for that extra "punch." The SA-SW3 is designed to be a compact solution, but for a more immersive, room-shaking performance that matches the Bar 8's premium capabilities, many of our users do find that the SA-SW5 (with its larger driver and higher output) is the perfect step up.

      We appreciate your honest comparison and will share your feedback regarding the bass clarity with our engineering team. If you'd like to discuss settings to optimize your current setup, please feel free to reach out to us here: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=ht.
