Does the job
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The SW3 is the little brother of the SW5. This is a good subwoofer for bedrooms, smaller family rooms without high ceilings. There is a $300 difference and you get what you paid for. I ended up returning the SW3 for the 5 because i got the 5 half price at a sale open box and Im happy with it.

Posted .Hi Bestest, Thank you for your amazing review of the Sony SASW3 subwoofer! It's fantastic to hear how well it integrates with the BRAVIA Theatre Bar 8 and RS5 to deliver such an immersive IMAX ENHANCED CERTIFIED experience. Your description of the transformation with just one button press really highlights the power of this setup. The combination of 360 Spatial Sound Mapping, Dolby Atmos, and DTS:X with Neural:X seems to have exceeded your expectations, creating a true-to-life cinematic experience at home. Your feedback is invaluable for others looking to replicate the magic of a theater or IMAX in their living room. Thanks again for sharing your experience! -Jess
Great subwoofer
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had already purchased a unit for the family room. This was a second unit for the master bedroom paired up to a HT-A5000 sound bar. Looking to pick up 2 sets of surround sound speakers to complete the 5.1.2 sound system. Very happy with Sony products.

Great subwoofer!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

I would recommend for an apartment
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .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 socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

Punchy bass

Posted .Hi Chazz,
We're sorry to hear about the inconsistent sound quality with your SA-SW3. To resolve this, we recommend moving the subwoofer closer to the soundbar and away from other wireless devices (like routers or microwaves) that might cause interference. You can also try toggling the "RF Channel" setting in your soundbar's menu to "Off" and then back to "On" to find a clearer signal.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab
Good but the bigger one better
