    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,

      Eliab Sony_US

    The sound bar looks great and delivers powerful bass when needed. Whether watching a TV show with lots of dialogue or listening to music, the soundbar enhances the audio experience without overwhelming it. I particularly enjoy the depth and bass it adds to my music. This subwoofer has definitely impressed me!

    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.
