Extra bass for my A5000
SASW3 12 September 2024 by Bearandsonylvr (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified
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.

Hi Bearandsonylvr, Thank you for the great review! It's great to hear that you're satisfied with your Sony home theater setup. Regarding the issue with the bass being rumbly and not clear, here are a few suggestions that might help improve the sound quality:
Firmware Update: Ensure that all your audio devices are updated to the latest firmware version. This can sometimes resolve sound quality issues.
Subwoofer Placement: The placement of the subwoofer can significantly affect the bass quality. Try moving the subwoofer to different locations in the room to see if the bass clarity improves.
Sound Settings: Adjust the sound settings on your soundbar. You can try lowering the subwoofer level or adjusting the equalizer settings to reduce the rumble and enhance clarity.
Hope this helps and thank you for sharing your experience with the A5000 soundbar, SW3 subwoofer, and RS5 rear speakers! -Sam

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!

Solid performer
SA-SW3 02 May 2024 by The Man not Next Door (United Kingdom)
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.

Great addition to my Sony Sound bar .
SA-SW3 21 March 2024 by The Dodger49 (United Kingdom)
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 .

Brings the bass
SA-SW3 08 March 2024 by Deviant Badger (United Kingdom)
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.

Hi,
Thank you for leaving your review, and we're sorry to hear that our subwoofer hasn't satisfied your expectations, this is not the norm as we strive to deliver the best quality possible.
We'd like to point out that 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.
If the issue is still disrupting you, we would love to offer extra assistance. Feel free to contact us by following this link: https://bit.ly/2NwYLXL, we will gladly assist you!

Sony SaSW300 200W Subwoofer x 2 !
SASW3 18 August 2023 by Barracuda Smile (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified
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

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.

SASW3 14 February 2023 by Nor55 (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified
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.

Short life span
SASW3 12 November 2022 by Martinjdugas (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified
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.
