Base reflex = outstanding audio reproduction !!
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.bought the sony sound bar first and sounded great.. added base reflex later and WOW !! what a difference , especially watching movies.. Remember folks, this base speaker produces any and all Base related sounds whether they be voice , music, or sound effects... If you don't hear them it's because the sound engineer for the movie you are watching DID NOT put those base related sounds in the sound track for the movie you are watching! This speaker really does a great job of pushing the dialogue out front where you can hear it... I would definitely recommend to a friend...

Essential addition for HTA7000 soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Essential accessory for HTA7000 soundbar, really boosts the bass from the system, if you want you can purchase just the soundbar & if you're not satisfied with the low end you add this sub later, it's wireless and setup is very easy, like most speakers it has cloth covering the drivers so beware if you have cats, etc. but you can place it pretty much anywhere in the room.

Posted .Hi Netgear,
We are excited to hear how easily the SA-SW5 integrated into your home theater setup!
We designed our wireless subwoofers to pair effortlessly with Sony soundbars because we believe achieving deep, cinematic bass shouldn't be a complicated process. It is fantastic to know that you are enjoying the added depth and impact it brings to your audio. By offloading the low-end frequencies to the SA-SW5, your entire system can perform at a higher level, creating a much more immersive experience for your favorite movies and music.
Thank you for making Sony part of your home entertainment!
Regards,
Dominick

powerful and a must
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Sony 300 watt sub is a must. the power it adds to the sound of a movie is unbelievable. Turned up to 7 it vibrates my chair 9' away. Sony knocked it out of the park with this one. It's very expensive but again, you get what you pay for.

Simple plug and play
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Maybe not for apartment use
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Little pricy but I love bass. It should be noted at low levels this thing isn't strong at all. It's connected to my A95L 77in TV and it really comes to life when you push the volume up to 40. I haven't pushed the system past 50 bc there's no reason to. Around 45 the floor will have a good vibration, and can only be heard a little outside my house.... May want to avoid if you live in an apartment unless your neighbors like listening to your music/ movies

Posted .Hi Dirtnap, Thank you for telling us about your experience with your SA-SW5 Sony subwoofer. We're truly happy to hear that you love the deep, punchy bass sound of the unit. Your feedback regarding the low-level sound output is greatly appreciated. If the input sources contain very little bass sound components (i.e., a TV broadcast), the sound from the subwoofer may be difficult to hear. You can check the subwoofer sound by emitting the test tone. Also, set the night mode to off. For details, refer to the Operating Instructions supplied with a compatible model. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Jess

Brings the thunder!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this with the HT-A9 system and together they are amazing. Instantly connected, no fuss. Bass hits pretty heavy. Not room shaking but very nice feel when it hits the lows. A must buy if you get the HT-A9.

Awesome
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Much better than the 300 sub. Worth the money. Buy open box and save!! This provides nice deep bass, but not bass all the time where it’s just rumbling, it provides base at the right time as intended, if that makes sense. I paired this with the Bravia theater bar, and the combo was nice. Just really expensive, so that’s my only gripe.
