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:

Posted .Hello TomL,
Thank you for considering Sony products.
We apologize that the SA-SW3 did not deliver the sound performance you were looking for. This is certainly not up to the quality standards we strive for, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We understand your decision to exchange it for the SA-SW5 300W Wireless Subwoofer, which provides greater output. Please be assured that we will forward your comments to our dedicated Sony team for their review as we continue working diligently to improve our products. Thank you for your understanding.
Best regards,

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.

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 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.
