    Decent subwoofer coupled with the Sony HT-A7000 soundbar. Not the greatest, but decent. I wish the soundbar allowed you to use the subwoofer of your choice because I wouldn't have chosen this particular subwoofer to be honest.

      Hi Jy1921, We're happy to hear that your purchase went well and you're overall pleased with the deep, punchy bass sound of this wireless subwoofer. We really value your feedback regarding the bass sound components of the unit with other input sources. Subwoofers are designed to play low-frequency bass signals, so the sound may be harder to hear. To make sure the subwoofer outputs sound, play an audio source that will make it easy to confirm the bass sound, such as a movie or content with a lot of sound effects. You can also test the subwoofer sound by test tone or built-in demo music. Additionally, make sure to run Sound Field Optimization so that the speaker system can calibrate its performance to your environment, and that it sounds like it was engineered to be in your room. Thank you so much for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US

    A must have if you want to experience the true sound of the a5000 or a7000 soundbar. Buy at the time when purchasing either of the soundbar mentioned above and get the bundle deal and you won't regret it
