Product Reviews

Works brilliantly with my Sony Theatre Quad System.

I bought this subwoofer nearly a month ago and I am very pleased with it the fist thing my wife did was to watch the Titanic film again it sounded great with the Sony sound bar. Hoping to get rear speakers at some point

Recommended by John Lewis. Getting the £100 discount from Sony as part of our £4000+ purchases was a real problem.

More than enough bass comes from the SW3. I would recommend.

Excellent kit, all the bass you should need for watching movies, I use mine with the Sony quad system and at times I have the sub on a minus because there is so much bass, recommended.

Good subwoofer, made good job. Bass it's really nice.

Purchased to help sound from Sony hta3000 didn’t make much difference to the tv sound. Sounds tinny, tried various sound setting via Sony help desk.

I feel this subwoofer is underwhelming I am disappointed with the bass output

Happy with sound and finish, it’s a great subwoofer.

Great addition to the HT-A3000 soundbar to add better bass to an already good sound produced by the sound bar and TV. Extremely easy to set up as it automatically added itself to the soundbar via WiFi, I just ensured the soundbar was switched on when powering on the Subwoofer for the first.

Excellent sound, discrete in terms of size and adds value to the overall experience.

Love this! Got this final piece of the jigsaw in my setup & it completes it perfectly. So nice to have proper bass for the spatial mapping. Only downside, & not the fault of the product, but certain football games are unwatchable due to idiots with drums

I bought this sub woofer to accompany the wonderful Sony Theatre Quad surround sound system. I've seen reviews which indicated that only the SW5 would be man enough for the job but, in our 15x15 foot room the excellent SW3's are more than good enough. The integrate brilliantly with the four Quad speakers and provide a seamless, rich, deep, base. I could not be more pleased with my choice of sub woofer for this absolutely amazing surround/atmos Sony system.

There isn’t much to say about a sub, at least for the majority of users, if it thumps well and is able to produce a good range of bass then it’s great. This Sony sub does that well, it’s great for most home cinema experiences, it will give you the rumbling lows and nice 808s. I bought the 200 watt sub and it’s almost overkill, but of course if you want far more bass then opt for the 300 watt.

I bought the Theatre Bar 9 thinking it would have enough bass, but it didn't quite do it for me. I am in the UK and I have Sky Q. I watched Dune 2 in UHD HDR and wow this subwoofer makes a massive difference. Definitely worth buying if it's on your radar. Sky Q also provide an HDR tutorial where you test each speaker component in the Bar 9 and subwoofer, so I definitely know it works great. You just have to make sure you are watching the right content.

I brought this device the base is very poor I tried speaking to customer service to change product no help at all. I was supposed to get phone call from a manager help me change the product but didn’t get a call back. So I have given up and worst money spent

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

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

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

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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