||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I returned this item. I don't like my music and movies blasting loud. So at moderate volume, I really couldn't detect this subwoofer above just the normal soundbar. Probably ok if you like your stuff really loud. Very little you can adjust in the app.

Misleading demo!

Posted .Hi BretH, We’re sorry to hear you did not have a great experience with your Sony SASW3. This is definitely not the news we want to hear. the bass sound quality will depend in the source that you're playing. The subwoofer is designed for playback of bass sound. If the input sources contain very little bass sound components, the sound from the subwoofer may be difficult to hear. You can check the subwoofer sound by emitting the test tone. You can also set the night mode to off. For details, refer to the operating Instructions supplied with a compatible model.
