    This subwoofer probably sounds amazing when it works with the right setup, but our TV wasn’t compatible. Returned it before I could test the boom.

    I read all the reviews and was tempted to buy the bigger SWS5 unit. I bought this unit because I live in an apartment. I found out that this was the right decision. Out of respect for my neighbors I routinely have to turn the volume down as this puts out quite a bit of sound. Hooked up seamlessly and I have no issues with keeping it connected.

    Bombastic bass and super clear too. Low thunder rolling, deep soft music stingers, or fast explosions. Even super tricky dubstep bass is no problem for this subwoofer. Easy wireless setup. Its easily controlled via the Sony sync setup on screen. You need this subwoofer to complete your soundbar system.

    Adds some depth to sound, if your sound source is high quality. Adds bass to music. But the subwoofer will not enhance a poor sound source. For example, commercials on cable programming sound even more annoying and boomy with the subwoofer on. Fortunately, you can adjust volume level on sub. Also note that subwoofer does not add clarity to dialogue. So best used for movie sound effects and music.

      Hi Appverse, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your SA-SW3. We're glad to hear you like the deep bass response of your Sony wireless subwoofer. Yes, this subwoofer does not improve the audio, dialogue, especially if input sources contain very little bass sound
      components (i.e., a TV broadcast). You can check the audio settings of your soundbar to improve the overall listening experience. Hope this helps!

      We hope that the 200 watts of power is successfully filling your room with deep, rich bass. Make sure to run Sound Field Optimization through your paired A-Series audio system so that the subwoofer calibrates its performance to the surrounding environment. Thank you for choosing SONY! -Sam Sony_US

    I used to have an "Energy" 100 watt subwoofer that was very powerful. That technology was from "The Good Guys". Remember them? They went out of business about 21 years ago and it has held up well since I bought it over 20 years ago but THIS SONY sub, at 200 watts, blows my old one out of the water when it comes to deep, rumbling bass! For my needs, 200 watts was more than I needed and, if I had a larger living room, I might have bought the 300 watt sub but, at a much lower price point, this one works great! Best part? All you do is plug it in and it will pair with a Sony soundbar automatically!
