Sony EQ ruins this sub
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had this paired to an a5000 and was severally underwhelmed with the overall quality. The bass was amazing when I watched the Heat gun fight, great with John Wick but when listening to music or a show it was lackluster. I messed with the settings, maxed the sub boost with the remote and through manually setting up the audio but it never hit the quality nor sound i’d expect doe this. If my HW-F850 ever dies, i’ll go buy the Sonos setup playbar with sub, for the same price you get significantly more performance and boom for your bucks.

Enhances the immersive experience
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Combo’d this with HT 7000 soundbar, SA-RS5 wireless rear speakers. While the HT7000 bangs by itself, this really adds more depth, and enhances the overall experience- especially with movies like Dune!

Theater like bass from sub
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Loved my HTA9s but with this sub it brings theater like bass to my small room. Some might complain about the cost but if you can snag an open box one then you won’t regret it.

Excellent Sub paired with Sony HTA9
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased to go with the Sony HTA9 and it sounds awesome. Plenty of bass. Excellent sound system. It beats all my surround systems I’ve had in the past. Best part takes 10 minutes to set up and no wires.

||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wasn't expecting this to be as boomy as my old set up (dual subs), and honestly, this fills the room with just enough bass, especially once you increase the bass level to +12. I think most people will be satisfied with this.
