No regrets
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.HT-5000 paired with SA-SW5 sub, rear SA-RS3S speakers, and Bravia XBR75-Z9F. I was skeptical about this system due to the price but was pleasantly surprised. I couldn't justify the HT-7000 price for two more speakers and I'm happy with the HT-5000. Incredibly easy to set up. The range is excellent. The Atmos effect is incredibly pronounced. You must buy the entire system to have incredible sound. I connected the sound bar and subwoofer and thought I made a mistake with this purchase. It wasn't until I connected the rear speakers that the system came alive. Window rattling bass. Crystal clear dialogue. Music, movies, YT vids, even DTV sounds great. I have zero regrets. This is best setup besides a full component system.

All the BOOM you can handle
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.All thump and deep tones without any other audio bleed. This Sony subwoofer has all the oompf you want without any of the other noises of some subs I have used in the past. Some subs send all the audio though from what you are listening too and its just a deeper sound of all the other speakers. This SA-SW5 is just boom, rumble, kablooey and deep tones you may not have experienced before. It is everything you want from a subwoofer. It even has a nice aesthetic to it. Kind of a cross between the leather like texture from Sony cameras and audio amps from a rock concert. It looks good and worthy of being shown off in your setup. And If you are buying any of the HT series Sony surround soundbars. This will make a great companion to make sure you feel all the audio the soundbar lets you hear. Now if they would just bring back that audience is listening sound we use to hear in theaters a few decades ago so I could upset my neighbors on Friday nights.

Bringing the Boom
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you have a big space, I definitely would recommend this sub over the Sony SW3. You can feel the rumble sitting on my couch on the opposite end of where the sub is placed. It brings movies to life with no distortion. This sub is awesome and so easy to set up with either Sony Bravia 8 or 9. It’s pricy but you can get it on sale or a great open box deal. Well worth the money.

Pump the Jam!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.VERY nice bass. It’s got a full sound right out the box. If you have the Bravia App you can adjust the bass to be fuller and much more impactful. If you really crank it up and have proper positioning you can feel the impact.if you want to replicate that theater at home feeling from IMAX movies you can Purchase two and it will feel pretty darn close for a soundbar setup.

Good sub-woofer. Effect is excellent
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The installation was simple. Initially have issues with very low sound. Wanted to return but changed mind to check with Sony support. Called them to explain the problem. They guided me to set the woofer volume to high decibel value. My night mode was already off. After adjusting the decibel value to high i.e. 6, the sub woofer throughput increased. Now sound is high enough to know the effect. After initial hiccup, all is going well for last 10 days. Sounds movies great with UHD and advance audio support.

Powerful Sub...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great sub. Powerful Bass and looks great beside the couch. The only issue that I had with this when I received it, was that is was loosely packed and could have very easily been damaged. No coverings and no Styrofoam on it.

||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased Sony A95L flagship television and knew I had to get the best sound out of it, so I went and purchased a Sony complete sound system this woofer is a beast, I also purchased the two rear speakers to go with it. You can not go wrong with these speakers I also must say that the television speakers are the best sounding I have ever heard in a television the bass are really good with this TV you really do not need a sound system it is that good.

Sony, great investment!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I added this subwoofer to my Sony HT-A5000 sound bar, and it added a nice extra 'punch' to the movies and TV shows that I watch. For a small, to average size living room, this is a good investment, it fills the room with bass that you can feel, but only when the movies audio sound track is properly encoded to channel the audio to the appropriate speakers. Otherwise it doesn't add much to regular TV shows, but that's not the subs fault, it can definitely throw some deep bass! Pair it up with the Sony SA-RS5 rear surrounds and you'll have a nice encompassing surround system that you can enjoy for years to come.

This is the best subwoofer I had.

I didn't expect its size or sound. It's way much better than any other subwoofers I have ever used in other systems. The item itself looks very high quality and is designed beautifully beside the bass it delivers.

Compliments your Sony soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There is not much too say about this subwoofer other than it packs a punch. This subwoofer definitely added that extra oomph that my soundbar cannot replicate. I have had zero connectivity issues and pairing it was fairly easy. It cannot beat my Nakamichi soundbar double sub set-up, but it's no slouch either. Get this if you're getting a Sony soundbar.

thump thump....
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.works well, but my previous system was a Sony HTS-5000, and it had an 800w sub woofer that would rattle the neighbors windows. This one is a little more tame, and still rattles the windows, ours, not the neighbors. A great addition to the Bravia Bar 8 we purchased at the same time.

Rumbles you feel as much hear, and I love it!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this subwoofer, been enjoying it (along with a new tv and HTA9 ATMOS speaker system) for several months now without any issues whatsoever. Every seat in the room is now a rumble seat! It’s all very pricy, but what isn’t these days. I figure you only live once so might as well splurge, that is if you can afford it. I certainly do not regret my purchases.
