Wasn't impressed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This wireless sub connect to its sound bar wirelessly with no pb. Very easy. But the sub itself did not impress meyou can hear the bass but it lack of presence. I guess it is okay for Netflix. Butnif you looking for a very powerful sbwoofer, get something more robust!!

Posted .Hi Regba, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your SASW3. While we're glad you like that it connect seamlessly with your soundbar, we regret to hear you feel that it lacks in power.
To resolve this issue, please refer to the following troubleshooting steps:
Press SW volume + or BASS + on the remote control of a soundbar to increase the subwoofer volume.
Set the night mode to off using the remote control of your soundbar.
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 are unable to resolve your concern, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

Good for a kids room.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Poor bass sound. Can´t fell the depth of the sounds with this. It has a 6 inch sub. Not enough for an open space. Good for a small room.

Great Value Subwoofer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price, the Sony SA-SW3 200W Subwoofer speaker is just fine. Better value than the Bose or Sonos Subwoofers. They may be better subwoofers, but for me, they are overpriced. I can't tell the difference.

Not a bad subwoofer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Like the sound bar, I got this version due to space limitations. It works well enough. But if you’re in the market and you have the room for it, I’d suggest upgrading to the SA-SW5.

Not really that good
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted to buy the SW5, but the store only had SW3 in stock. I took a chance and was disappointed. The bass was not deep at all and noticeably cut in and out. I returned this and bought the SW5 that I originally set out to get. That is far far better and definitely worth the extra cost. This is ok if you cant afford the better subwoofer, but definitely not the best by any means.

Great sound

Still a toss up
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A decent addition to my Sony sound bar. Most of my viewing experience comes with streaming media and this subwoofer hasn't really made much of a difference. Perhaps it will have more of an impact with physical media playback.
