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-if you have all the speakers
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing quality. Sony is hard to beat. But this will not work individually. You need to sync it to other Sony speakers that are compatible.

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
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its perfect for my little room.

SW3 sub underperformed.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this item to go with the Theater 8 soundbar, but it could not fill the large room enough to satisfy my listening demands. I have a wired sub-woofer, s I will need to look into replacing my receiver.

Posted .Hi GuyR,
Thanks for the feedback. We’re really sorry the SA-SW3 didn’t provide the deep impact you were looking for in your large space.
We completely understand if you decide to go the receiver route to use your existing gear.
We appreciate you giving Sony a chance with this product.

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.

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,

Poor Bass

Posted .Hi Aaron,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sincerely sorry to hear that your SA-SW3 subwoofer is not providing the deep, impactful bass experience you should be getting when paired with your BRAVIA Theater Bar 8.
It sounds like you have already put a significant amount of effort into troubleshooting and optimization, and we understand how frustrating it is when those steps don't lead to the performance you anticipated. We value the quality of our audio products, and your experience is certainly not the one we want our customers to have.
We would like to have our specialized technical team further evaluate this situation to see if there is a deeper configuration issue or a hardware concern at play. Please reach out to our support experts at your earliest convenience so we can look into this for you:
