    Our Sony TV sound quality was greatly improved with the subwolfer and a sound bar. Both were very easy to install and the sound quality is very rich now.

    It’s a huge improvement! The soundbar doesn’t have very much bass so deep voices, music and sound effects are now amazing with the Sunwoofer. I would recommend it it’s better than I expected! I was able to purchase this with $100.00 off great deal!

    I went to Best Buy to buy a TV and when the associate showed me the sound bar, I was absolutely blown away by it. Even my wife who’s never been impressed with surround sound has said she’s so glad we got this system. Absolutely worth every penny.

    This one was great but we actually wanted something a little louder so we went with the one step up from this. Connecting to the soundbar and the app was so easy and this one is perfect for a standard sized living room, but if you want to feel the bass go with the bigger one.

      Hi AprilA, It sounds like you had a good experience with the SA-SW3 subwoofer but needed something with more power. The SA-SW3 is indeed a great choice for a standard-sized living room, offering easy connectivity to the soundbar and the app. For those looking for a more powerful bass experience, the SA-SW5 would be a suitable upgrade. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Sam Sony_US
