    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.

      Hi Eddie,

      Thank you for the review! We recommend adjusting the volume with your TV. The subwoofer is designed for playback of bass sound. When the input source does not contain much of bass sound, as is the case with most TV programs, the bass sound may not be audible. Up the intensity of your Home Theatre System and soundbar. This wireless subwoofer brings out all the hidden depths in your movies and music with 300 W of rich, powerful bass from a 180 mm driver unit. 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. Thank you for choosing Sony!

    Love the simple design with rounded corner. Feels very well built. Probably over kill for living in an apartment and the SW3 might have been suffice. A bit on the pricy side. Just plug it in and it connects to the hub automatically.
