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.

Had to return the first one, second one was great!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had to return the first one because it would NOT sync with my Bravia 8 Soundbar. The second one synced with no problems, and I was up and running (including unpacking) in five minutes. The Bravia soundbar sounded great on its own, but it is now outstanding with the Subwoofer. If you're on the fence between subwoofers, get the SA-SW500. The difference is night and day. I only gave it four stars for ease of use, because I had to take the first one back.

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!

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 $.

Posted .Hi SABB, Good to know your investment is worth it. We're really happy that this wireless subwoofer is a great addition to your speaker system and that it immerses you even deeper into movies and music with its clear, thumping bass and subtle low frequency sounds. Boost the bass of your Sony HT-A9 home theater system, HT-A7000, or HT-A5000 soundbar with the Sony SA-SW5 300 Wireless Subwoofer. It connects to your soundbar or system wirelessly for a quick, easy setup. The subwoofer uses Separated Notch Edge technology to control the stress along the edge of the driver's surround to allow for uniform resonance of the driver, delivering clearer bass sound. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Jess

Subwoofer upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My SA5000 Sony soundbar failed after five years, and I had to replace it. My Sony subwoofer paired to that soundbar would not work with my new Sony soundbar. Not happy about that, but this replacement subwoofer is an improvement! Easy set up and no problems.

Posted .Hi JoeR, Thank you for telling us about your experience with your SA-SW5 Sony subwoofer. We hope that the 300 watts of power is successfully filling your room with deep, punchy bass. Make sure to run Sound Field Optimization through your paired A-Series audio system so that the subwoofer calibrates its performance to the surrounding environment. Only the optional subwoofer (SA-SW3 and SA-SW5) are compatible with our HT-S2000, HT-A3000, HT-A5000, and HT-A7000. However the SA-SW3 and the SA-SW5 pack a big low-end punch, so we don't think you'll be disappointed. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Jess

Perfectly completes the HT-A9 system
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the sub paired with the HT-A9, could not have been easier to setup. The Sony controller handles the majority of the sub output control; by that I mean you can change the "level" of the bass via the remote, but there are no other equalizer type settings available. After using the Sony room mapping feature for the system, it will determine the actual bass output relative to your listening position and its physical location (and that of the speakers). You cannot use more than 1 sub paired to the wireless system. The HT-A9 sounded great pre-sub installation, however after using with the sub added I would not go back to without. Read my review on the HT-A9 system titled "No regrets!!!". Value is relative to what price point you get it at, I personally bought mine "open-box" satisfactory, while the New was on sale and I fell I got a steal, sub appeared brand new. It is rather large, can emit sound in 4 directions so you can place it anywhere. I am glad the sub was made in black unlike the off-white appearance for the speakers.

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.

Top notch
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It sounds great! The bass is really crisp. I’d recommend getting two subwoofers if you can. I started off with just one since I’m on a budget. Sony products are top-notch—they’re reliable and built to last.

Works as intended. Keeper.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this open open box deal at half price of msrp. It works! It completes the package with the Ht-A9 sound system for full surround with proper bass. It gave me the feel of Imax/ dolby as i rather bring home the movies at the theater experiences into the comfort of my own personal space. I enjoy watching movies much more than the lack luster tv speakers. It is a great deal.
