    Live this wireless sub. It sounds nice but put it near a traditional wood stud wall and floor. I put it on a concrete floor near a wall of windows and it didn't have a strong of impact as i desire. I got it in a package on a sale for 399. Well worth it. But it works so well that i bought 2 of them. For different rooms and systems(don't think you can put 2 on the same system).

      Hi MatthewO, Thanks for purchasing 2 SA-SW5s. We are so delighted to hear you are enjoying the clear, thumping bass and subtle low frequency sounds of the wireless subwoofer! With 300 W of deep bass sound from a powerful 180 mm driver and passive radiator, this subwoofer boosts the impact of everything you watch and listen to. Enjoy booming explosions and the deepest beats you’ve ever heard without distortion. You’ll also hear clearer voices and extra fidelity for truly authentic soundtracks. Our Home Theatre System, soundbar and optional speakers have been designed under a common Omnidirectional Block concept. The design of the SA-SW5 is a perfect match for these systems. Its sophisticated rounded edges represent a single solid block providing wide-spreading sound. The combination of rich material textures emphasizes an affinity with any living room environment. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US

    Enjoying the sound and ease of setup from this sub. Previously had a much larger sub but allowing it to work wirelessly took more money and effort. While not as loud, this sub does its job well.

    Great Subwoofer and a must if you invest in a good OLED TV and Soundbar. I bought my sub as an open-box when the mgr at Best Buy made me a good deal. But, after 2 weeks it has a intermittent rumble and crackle that you can hear on some days but not on others. So I've decided to just return it within my return period and wait for another new one to be in stock. Great bass and a must with the HT-7000 soundbar.
