Solid and seamless wireless sub

Great Sub
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sub. I replaced my Boes 700 sub with the Sony and have no regrets. Paired up easily with the Sony A7000 soundbar. Great deep rich bass that fills the entire room. Finally have the home theater sound I was looking for.

Best sub for Sony A7000
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I originally bought SA-SW3S and I was disappointed. With this one not only action movies shine but dialogs and music to. Even classical music sounds much better. Agree it's expensive but really worth it. I did a bundle with A7000 sound bar and saved $100

The perfect companion for the HTA7000
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you have the HTA7000 this is what you need. This sub pairs seamlessly with the HTA7000 literally you just need to plug it in and the soundbar will pair with it and calibrate it. It has a nice premium look to it as well.

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.

Must Have
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Must have if you’re buying a Sony sound bar.

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.

Enhances the immersive experience

Posted .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
