Product Reviews

I have bought the subwoofer for one month and very happy with the sound system and also it enhance the whole experience of sense surround when watching a movie.

Easy to setup and adds awesome rumble when watching movies. Even music sounds richer with the stronger bass.

I bought this subwoofer to enhance my TV sound experience particularly action movies etc. It is nicely designed and sturdy; it works great to deepen and enrich the base/ sound effects. Its look bit large size but think that’s necessary to produce such high quality sound.

Purchased approx 2 months ago. Delighted with purchase. Significant enhancement to sound experience, in particular for movies. User friendly app made it simple to set up and calibrate.

I bought this a month ago to complement the home theatre system i also bought along with Sonys flagship TV Bravia A-95L.soo glad i did the sound deep base is so lifelike it literally places you there weather gaming or watching a movie or just listening to the Dolby Atmos this combination for me - near perfect, i haven't experienced anything else out there that can compete !! oh and with Sonys cashback offer makes this even better, thanks Sony !!

I’m running a Theatre Bar 9, RS5s and the SW5 sub is the perfect addition. Easy to setup, subtle smooth bass, not overwhelming and plenty of settings/adjustment via the Bravia app.

The subwoofer pairs perfectly with the Sony HT-A9M2 home theater system, enriching the overall soundstage and significantly enhancing bass performance.

Placement with most subs is key. This however is powerful enough to be placed almost anywhere.

Bought this recently, the quality is amazing! it's like having a cinema in my bedroom.

​I bought the SA-SW5 subwoofer to complement my Quad Theatre setup, and the difference it has made is incredible. The bass is not just loud; it's deep, precise, and highly cinematic. Movie explosions now rumble the room, and music tracks have a rich, powerful foundation they were missing before. ​Setup was a breeze—the wireless connection was instant and flawless. It paired immediately with my main system. If you want true, room-filling sound that brings movies and music to life, this is the essential upgrade. Highly recommended!

The deep sound from this sub can be quite penetrating in a great way, can be adjusted to suit your needs.

No idea. Tv was not installed yet so I did not use the subwoofer either. It's nearly 2 weeks after delivery and still waiting for order works to contact.

Had to take first one back as was not working but John Lewis sorted every thing out for me excellent service

Truly awful service from Sony. Never ever again will I buy Sony. I deeply regret any dealing with Sony. Nothing but trouble, time and money wasted as a direct result of Sony’s false advertising, incredibly poor technical help and utter incompetence.

Initial impressions very good, paired it with theatre quad system

Seamless connectivity, amazing Base. Your sound bar really needs this !

Great bit of kit when set up But Sony needs to release more videos on how to set this bass box to the quad surround sound Easier doing tv and surround sound and bass box all at 1s with the Bravia connect app

I have had this product for 10 days. It was bought along with the rear speakers SARS5 to connect to my HT-A7000 Sound bar which I have had for a while now. So far I am pleased with all products giving a very realistic theatre sound. I found the additional speakers very easy to connect to the soundbar. I bought direct from Sony online and was very pleased with the speed of service. From my experience to date I would recommend the sound system. Although not cheap it is worth paying for the quality if you can afford it.

It’s a Must Buy product for those who have bought Sony Sound bar & Bravo to Sony team for it’s seamless integration experience and great sound!

Wasn't sure if I was going to go for the smaller subwoofer due to the size of the room, but it handles very well when put through its paces and compliments the soundbar and rears perfectly even at lower levels

I bought this SA-SW5 together with the Bravia Theatre Quad. Initial setup was good and sound excellent. But after three days, the SA-SW5 suddenly de-link from the Bravia Theatre Quad. Having great difficulties to re-connect the SA-SW5.

Sits near the sofa’s easy listening with the subwoofer at the front great bit of kit. The sound quality is better then I imagined when turned up a notch when the wife is not in.

I bought the Bar 9 in the hope that I wouldn't need a separate sub woofer and for a few weeks it was 'fine'. After getting a good deal on the SW5, I can say that the addition definitely delivers that extra punch. Fairly straightforward setup too.

I teamed-up this sub-woofer with my Theatre 9 soundbar and, as good as the soundbar is, adding the SA-SW5 really does make a noticeable difference. The depth of the bass is controllable via the remote control or via the Bravia Connect app. It's easy to set up and to pair with the soundbar and you can have it working within minutes of plugging it in.

I bought this around a month ago to pair with my Sony Theatre Quad Speakers. So much better than my previous Sonos soundbar and sub setup, really pleased with my purchase

I highly recommend it. Everything is as expected. I suggest to set it up with sound bar and up firing speakers. Step up and installation is soo easy

The SW5 is great! But ......... Chromecast! Chromecast! We want Chromecast for the Sony Bravia Theatre QUAD ! Why give me Spotify Connect which can only carry to Spotify! Give me Chromecast for the Quad instead not only I can cast this Spotify but also others music streaming services like Tidal.

I was already astounded by my Sony Quad Theatre system which has made an incredible difference to my A95L Sony Bravia XR OLED TV as it adds a whole new experience to this incredible TV. As my hearing is not good even with hearing aids, I was keen to get the most out of my new set up, so I decided I must get the sub woofer unit as well, just to see if I was missing anything more! I was delighted once I got everything up and running. Clearly buying this wonderful TV was just the beginning, now I literally have “All the bells and whistles!” What more could I say, apart from Thanks Sony. Ian H from Norwich Norfolk UK.

I value quality of sound and music, this to pair with my bravia quad theatre and I it sounds great.

I have now had the Sony sub woofer forctwo months and it has really enhanced the sound quality of the TV with sound bar as well. It makes a real difference to viewing TV and music channels too.

It's a great product. I like the deep bass and subtleness.

Ordered togeather to add to our existing round bar along with the RS5 rear speaks and it’s really made a difference to the sound experience

I bought this few weeks ago I thought there was not going to be a proper base because my tv is Sony that has a terrible noise but now with the soundbar 9 and this subwoofer it’s the best as its quality and it is very good for like an home cinema.

I treated myself for Christmas & so glad I did even the Mrs isn't complaining although she's unaware of the cost😂😂😂😂😂

Using a month now and nothing to commend on its performance as a Sub woofer to work with my Sony A7000 soundbar. Need to find proper placing to cutoff wabling wall wire cassings.

This is probably the best subwoofer I've ever had amazing sound with the wireless quads surround system

Great subwoofer over many years, currently pairing it with Theatre Quad. However it lacks of depth and frequency response can’t be reached lower than 30hz it’s the big miss! Hope Sony will release a new improved version in year 2025, this Subwoofer needed a new revamp version. Dual-Subwoofer for Theatre Quad are also considerable.

I bought this along with a pair of SA-RS5 to go with a HT-A9000 soundbar. Everything functions together really well and the sound is amazing. I have a Samsung 65" TV with EARC, a Sony 4K bluray player and a Panasonic HDR. Unfortunately they do not play particularly well together. The only problem is lipsync. It is always off no matter what source I use. And the annoyance is the lips move AHEAD of the visuals not behind so I can't tweak the delay. Also, on Atmos content sometimes the sound cuts completely and I have to adjust the EARC setting on my TV to downgrade the sound. So, beware SAMSUN TV owners.

I bought this fabulous subwoofer last month but before I bought it I was confused on which one to buy between SA-SW3 & SA-SW5 so I watched some reviews on YouTube and read many reviews before making up my mind to buy SA-SW5. I never regret buying this fabulous subwoofer last. The good thing I love so much about this wonderful subwoofer is that you can’t pinpoint where the sound is coming from. All my gadgets are Sony.

this woofer has more than enough punch for a medium sized room.. good quality low frequency and not too bassy when paired with the Bar9.

Using it at my current house & will love to new house in December

EXCELLENT SOUND EXCELLENT PRODUCT AS ALWAYS FROM SONY.

Got it free with the purchase of Quad Home Theater. It works wonders with this subwoofer. Now I enjoy listening both music and movies.

When paired with HT9A quad, music and movies just reached another level. All these with ease of installation and placement of the quad speakers.

The sound is great as though you are in a movie theater watching a miovie

The SA-SW5 is a superb subwoofer. Amazing bass performance. Paired it with the Bravia Theater Quad provides a very immersive home movie experience. However, the exterior design looks a bit dated, hopefully Sony will come up with an updated version that can compete with Sono in terms of the exterior design.

Good sound box but the size can be smaller n less heavy

I bought this month ago and paired with Sony Quad. Even if the bass level set very high, this subwoofer won’t be live unless main audio set extremely high. While the bass good at high volume, no one can hear at high level volume for long at night. If you set volume low , no bass at all.While it could be software or app issue but I just don’t hear any bass from this at low levels.

Had it for a mth. Really like the overall sound performance while watching movies

Very good bass and it is adjustable. Therefore it is good for movie as well as audiophile listening
