Excellent unit added to my HT-A5000 soundbar and matching RS3 rear speakers

Good addition to Bravia 8 soundbar, completes the overall TV sound.

Good combi for my living room. Design can be nicer but it is still ok.

£100 cashback for an amazing subwoofer, the transfer was transferred into my account as promised

I was offered £150 cashback against this product and after much prevarication, I have received £100 and my email requesting payment of the balance has not been responded to after a week of waiting. [case:27274752] Sony Campaign Payment Confirmation [Model = SA-SW3]

I’m really happy that this completes my set. I have the A5000 soundbar, the SW3 subwoofer, and the RS5 rear speakers. It’s a great combo and offers a pretty great sound. My only complaint is the bass is very rumbly and not super clear. I can’t really put it above 5 and the options go up to 12. I’m not sure why it’s like this. I know this is the lesser of the two subwoofers if anybody reads this and has any tips, I would appreciate the help. Overall, I think the whole system is great and I’m pretty happy with it. I just wish the base was clear instead of rumbling and mumbling.

Simple setup and appears to work as expected, value for money

I have a Sony A80L 65” set with an A5000 soundbar, the RS5 rear speakers and now with the added SW3 soundbar I have full , movie theater sound. My system was great before the subwoofer, but now it’s amazing. Adding the subwoofer allows, the remote to have more control over the base and the subwoofer power. I just love how everything pairs and sinks together. The base is clear and perfect for my apartment living room.! Thanks again Sony, another amazing product!

I purchased this speaker when I bought a new TV and soundbar. It works as expected with great base sound. What more could one want!

It was easy to pair with the soundbar. Setup with the app was fast. After setup, the overall sound effect together with the soundbar Bravia8 was even more oomph than the soundbar itself. The textured surface makes it look very pro.

Went with the SW3 for what is a small room as opposed to the SW5. No surprise it has a strong robust sound that goes well with the 2024 HT-A9000 Bar 9, (or any other compatible Sony soundbar.

Easy set up with Sony TV and sound bar. As always with a sub, it so much the performance of the sun on its own but how it adds to the sound bar, and in that respect it delivers.

I brought this Sony SA-SW3 200w Subwoofer a fortnight ago to go with my Sony HT S2000 Sound Bar to give it its full effect. Unit is quite Heavy and larger than my old Panasonic one but this is a lot more powerful. Easy to set up plugged in & connected straight to the Sound Bar . In the Sony Home Entertainment App now showing both items and you can easily adjust both to get the desired effect you are after. Really good when watching a film in Dolby Atmos . If watching different programs it tells you what it is broadcasting in . Music sounds nice either playing music on an App or on a phone after turning on the Blue Tooth option. On a Sony Bravia TV if you press the setting button on tv remote and scroll along you can also see what settings the unit uses. Very well built and no distortion so far although I normally have the sound on the Subwoofer +3 or +4 . On the Sound Bar can depend what you are watching as sound can vary at times .

Bought with the S2000 soundbar. It gives a good rumble and really helps immersion. We have a medium size living room and I have it on about half power which is more than enough most of the time, but when you really want a bit more thunder I dial it up. Plus 10 on the setting is great to show off but soon gets to be too much.

I bought the products in January and have been very happy with the quality of sound. Definitely recommended.

Bought in December did not use until end of January and Bluetooth disconnects intermittently at times it will stay off up to five minutes sounded good during set up but now I have to listen to music with no bass very disappointed maybe should have bought first choice Sonos hopefully Sony will fix it

Reasonable performance but disappointing as it tends to overwhelm output and clarity of the soundbar.

Bought this 3 weeks ago together with the Sony sound bar HT-A5000 and I am happy with it. Installation was straightforward and simple. Bass performance is good

The SW3 is able to fit behind my sofa for a small area and sufficient to bass the TV and music. I used at level 4 just in case not to disturb neighbors at the lower level. Level 5 is too much bass for me.

Love this unit,great sound and base.Easy set up and easy to show on green light and red light standby, Links easy to sound bar.

Subwoofer is a key element in my home theater setup. Center, and yet to purchase it XRJ-65A95L in Japan. I am using STR-ANZ3000ES receiver and both SA-SW3 subs easily linked up along with a pair of SA-RS's. Receiver has web app to control bass. I have 4 x SA-RS5 Dolby atmos overhead, SS-CS8 center, SS-CS5's left and right channel. Zone 2 is HT-G700 soundbar. Subs should be even in number, and STR-ANZ3000ES supports two, for 200Watts and a small Japanese apartment I decided on SW3's vs the SW5's as knock the neighbors pictures off the wall is not the goal yet probably Marty McFly style still capable with SW3's

Couldn't afford when buying sound bar last year but was really pleased when I could add it at a later date. Good price and the sound/ base is really good

Bought this for £369 to complement my new S2000 Sony soundbar, makes all the difference especially on Avatar DVD etc, bass is amazing and fills the room with cinema sound

For a compact subwoofer it did not disappoint, the clear and powerful sound makes such a difference. very pleased.

I have had this subwoofer a couple months and I really like it. The previous system I had would not allow me to adjust my subwoofer independently and that was frustrating. This reproduced the richness of proper bass tones without being overpowering to the rest of the sound like many subwoofers

The A7000 Sound Bar is great, this wireless subwoofer with SA-RS5 rear speakers makes the whole system sound awesome.

I have the SA-SW3 in a small boxy room and at first I thought it was a bit boomy. After a little playing around with positioning (ended up moving about 6" back along the wall) and re-optimization the sound is brilliant. A great addition to the HT-A7000 sound bar and SA-RS5 surrounds.

I bought the Sony HT-A5000 soundbar that included this subwoofer In a purchase pkg. the system provides deep rich bass that doesn’t rattle and has very clear sound. It connects to the sound bar seemlessly after it’s connected to a power outlet. The beauty of it all is that there are no speaker wires.

Fantastic, Sony sound system is complete. Sounds theater quality. WOW !!!!

I bought it on 6/12/22 and it is easy to setup this subwoofer with 200W of rich, powerful bass from a 160mm driver connected to my Sony HT-A5000 Dolby Atmos soundbar and Sony SA-RS5 wireless speakers.

Bought this as an open item from Best Buy in excellent condition. Worked great for 9 months then stopped working completely. Tried to get it repaired under warranty but it was registered to someone else so I was left with a $300 brick. I did learn to buy equipment protection on used electronics in the future though. I will not buy Sony speakers again tho.

When I first heard this sub, I thought I was listening to the larger 300 watt unit, it was truly impressive. In the last few weeks it’s taken everything I’ve thrown at it and delivered admirably. Great sub!

About as much bass as you’d want in a semidetached. Connected seamlessly to the HT-9 system with no effort to setup.

I have No regret having purchased the system! Always look forward to playing movies with good sound effects!

Got this with a pakage bought with A7000. What i love is the connectivity. Simply plug in and it is auto connect with A7000 bar. Easy setup and dont forget to optimise the sound field. Now, i dint quite like it, because it lack of a “deep punch” effect. But if you dont mind the deep rich bass/punch effect, This is good for you. My SW5 subwoofer is coming soon for an upgrade.

I wanted to add a sub to get extra base to go along with my Sony 7.1 soundbar, I'm so glad I did.

Very happy with sub attached to the HT-A5000, great sound for the price point.

I bought it a few month the bass some problem.hope they can solve my problem

Good quality of sound base which I like and also simple in design.

Sounds good. Easy to set up (and then forget about it). What to improve: option to place flat instead of up straight. Fabric mesh looks nice but difficult to clean.

Bought it together with a sound bar. This was right choice. Low tones are rich and plentiful for large living room.
