Great subwoofer but should be included
Ronnie Posted
It was nice. The bass was strong and helped with the system. I just don’t like the fact it doesn’t come with the system.. ultimately I purchased JBL 9.1 that came with the bar, rear speakers, and subwoofer all in one for less money.

it's small in size but not in...
KenH Posted
It's small in size but it's definitely not small in sound. I know a lot of reviews said go for the large one but this one is so much cheaper and the bass is loud enough for me. I cant even imagine how much louder the other one is. Great value for the price with this one!

Well.....
Nightwulf Posted
Not to bad... Was afraid it wouldn't be enough for my Sony bar 5000. But pairs up well. I didn't want a over powering boom. Just right and clean! I dislike when a sub over powers a soundbar and dialogue.

The Sony SA-SW3 subwoofer adds clean and punchy bass to my setup. The wireless connection makes installation effortless, and it pairs seamlessly with compatible Sony soundbars. It performs well in a medium-sized room, enhancing movies and music without distortion. While it’s not extremely powerful, it offers a solid and reliable bass upgrade for everyday use.

Fills out the soundbar but won't rattle the walls
LegionUser Posted
Easy to setup and definitely fills out the soundbar sound but it just doesn't have a lot of punch. If you want really loud bass that you can feel, you'll need to get the bigger sub.
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens

Hi LegionUser,
Thanks for the feedback. We're glad to hear that setting up your SA-SW3 was a breeze and that it’s helping fill out your soundbar's audio.
We are sorry it doesn't have the heavy punch you wanted, though. To get a bit more kick out of it, try putting the subwoofer in a corner of your room. This can naturally make the bass feel deeper. You can also use your remote to turn up the subwoofer volume.
Thanks for considering Sony and for sharing your thoughts with us.
Warm regards,
Estefany

Great for small homes/apartments
emptystreets130 Posted
One thing before I start the review. These Sony add-on subs are expensive! I originally wanted the SA-SW5 but for and arm and an leg, it wasn't worth it when I could built a system that sounds better than a soundbar and sub. Even at a lower price point for the SA-SW3, it was really hitting my budget. Luckily I found an open box to justify my spending the dough. Sub is paired to the A5000, not using the Sony TV as the center channel. On to the review. Nice bass output for a smaller apt/home. When enabling the external subwoofer, I believe this will disabled the soundbar's built in sub. I also noticed that the vocals on the soundbar is a lot more clearer. The sub produces clean bass, not so muddy and it adds the right amount of bass after using the AI tuning. I haven't really turn it up in a movie because during my testing, it got plenty loud. Setup is easy. Power on, hit the link button, go to the sound bar and have it search for any linkable devices. I was up and running in 5 mins. If you like your sound, I would highly recommend picking up a sub. The SW3 won't make the room shake and the glass rumble but it's a great filler sub to give you that extra ump.

Pretty good!
Butz Posted
I bought this to complete the HT-A7000 and SA-RS5 setup I have with my Bravia TV. For its size, this subwoofer packs a decent punch. It basically picks up bass duties from the soundbar, and lets the soundbar dedicate itself to its native range of sounds. As a result, things sound overall cleaner and the bass audibly noticeable and tangible. After a couple weeks of almost daily use, I haven't received a noise complaint from my downstairs neighbor yet, and she's annoyingly vocal. I've been able to enjoy thrillers, action movies, and ensemble-style videogame BGM at candidly audible volumes with the subwoofer consistently sending punchy bass notes where it's needed. I don't have the bigger SW5 counterpart for comparison, but I'm very happy with the value (especially on sale) and quality of this guy.

We are so glad to hear that the SA-SW3 is adding that clean, punchy bass to complete your setup with the HT-A7000 and SA-RS5! It is awesome to know it is handling the low-end duties so well for your movies and games, and keeping the downstairs neighbor happy is definitely a major win.
Thank you for choosing Sony!

Good Little Sub, Bad App/Software
Cainer255 Posted
Good little subwoofer. Connecting this through the app didn’t really work according to the app but then based on the indicator light it the front it was connected, started to play something as a test and felt it working. More of a Bravia connect issue but still part of getting this thing to work which is why I knocked it down to 4 stars. It’s not anything crazy but adds a little bit of bass to the compatible sound bar to fill that void of no bass. If you want something that can go loud enough to rattle the house this isn’t it.

Pairs well with ht-a9
MarcS Posted
Overall all good pair with ht-a9 in medium sized living area. Using with sony a80j 77 oled as center channel. Probably only gripe is there are no volume controls but thats a sony software issue. Rich omni directional sub base that works well and doesn’t muddy sound. Happy with simplicity and ease of set up, my rectangular room does really allow for proper audiophile set up, so this completes a decent “system in box”

We appreciate your valuable feedback regarding the absence of volume controls; your input is duly noted. We're also delighted to learn that the omni-directional sub-bass elevates your audio experience without any muddiness. It's fantastic to hear that the SASW3 integrates seamlessly into your setup!
