Helps Bring Movies to Life, and Depth to Music
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This little guy packs a punch and really lives up to that old saying, “You get what you pay for.” It adds some great texture to what the great umph that the soundbar provides. I have it sitting about 15 feet away from me when watching movies and you can feel those low frequencies. During my rewatch of The Matrix, my new AppleTV remote started vibrating on the couch next to me. This really helps to drive that ‘home cinema’ experience, home. Just as impressive as the low frequencies are, the setup process was just as great. You just need to find a spot for it in your media/living room, and plug it in. That’s it! The soundbar found it and connected to it automatically. No wizards, no setup menus. It found the subwoofer and connected to it immediately. I would say that this should be a definite add-on if you are considering the HT-7000 soundbar. I love it and would eagerly recommend it.

Sony Subwoofer with a deep sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A powerful sounding subwoofer will rock the room when desired. I recommend the 300W over the 200W because the extra bass will always be available when required.

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.

Perfect subwoofer for price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound quality and easy pairing. Works very smooth with my Bravia Theater Bar 8. Best of all: the connection is stable with interference around! My old HT9Z soundbar & woofer was notoriously bad for subwoofer stability.

Bass Beast
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This sub not only looks good but sounds good. I used to have the Samsung N950 and the sub on that system is basic compared to this one for the A7000. It handles low frequency extremely well and does not feel like it's a wireless sub. I've never heard the smaller sub from SONY for this system but I'd imagine it doesn't pack a punch like this one. Is it overpriced, yes but if you know SONY than it's no surprised. Do yourself the favor and purchased this sub along with the soundbar, you'll save $200 upfront.

Jam pack
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This little guy packs a mean punch! I paired it up with the Sony A5000 sound bar, and let me tell you how great the sound is. A deep rich bass, and it is also easy to pair with your system. It has two buttons on the back. The top one is to turn it on/off, and the bottom one is to pair it with your sound bar. Just press is and hold it for 5-6 seconds, and behold.

Great subwoofer to pair with the HT A7000
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a must with the ht a7000 sound bar. Watched Mad Max Fury Road, bass filled a 25x25ft room no problem. It was insane. Would recommend going full Sony setup for ease of use. I paired this with the ht a7000 sound bar, a90j TV, and a ps5. Everything works great together.

Subwoofer rocks the house!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This subwoofer was purchased with the Sony HT-A9 High Performance Home Theater System. Setup was easy! Not sure why there have been so many comments on the setup when all you have to do is follow it step by step! Very impressed with movie soundtracks in both Dolby and DTS formats! EXTRA benefits include music in 360 spatial that are available from sources such as Amazon. Check it out!

Great value
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice looking product that packs a solid punch and was very easy to setup with our soundbar. Had considered upgrade to the 5, but not worth 2x the price for minimal improvement in sound.

Plenty of power and integrates well with HT-A seri
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The SASW5 is attractive for a sub. The fabric mesh grill could be a higher quality material but hopefully holds up. The LFE is deep, dynamic and plenty of power left. I had to turn down the level so if my room size changes, I’m sure the sub will still have enough to give. No wireless drops, solid connection along with the the rear channel speakers (SARS3S). While it’s not a cheap sub, I feel I got a quality sub for the $.

A must for the HT-A5000.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A requirement for the HT-A5000. This seamlessly pairs with the HT-A5000, literally plug it in, and you are done. Adds that presence to the impact moments of movies that a small soundbar just cannot. As they used to say in the car world, there is no replacement for displacement, and a larger, long throw, woofer will always outperform the tiny drivers in the sound bars. The cabinet does look a little cheap under close inspection, but then again my frame of reference admittedly is theater subs in a different class, so with that in mind, this is as good as its peers.
