Sony SA-SW5 7.1" 300W Wireless Subwoofer for HT-A9/3000/5000/7000

2025-05-22T20:00:00

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.

Not overly impressed . Doesn't overwhelm with sound ? Either to loud or too soft ?

I upgraded from the SW3 and I really am glad I did. The difference in clarity is a big upgrade. The SW3 is great, and I moved it to a bedroom where it works perfectly for me, but this SW5 is really completing the cinematic experience for me in the living room.

It's a great sub but has limitations, only works with Sony wireless soundbars and can't add more than one sub ?? Also, it needs a wired line in for better connectivity outside the Sony family. For my sins I have two of these Sony subs.

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 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.

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 just upgraded my surround system from a 2016 Sony receiver 7.1 chan. I felt that it was getting a bit old and took up a lot of space etc. And while the sound was ok, my speakers weren't the best. I got the Sony HT-A8000 Atmos soundbar as well as the Sony SA-RS5 rear speakers. I wanted everything to be from Sony rather than mix and match. I am very happy with the ease of setup. Basically you do it all via the Bravia app and it walks you thru the steps even checking to make sure you have everything setup correctly. This speaker was setup in 5 seconds. Of course after unpacking the heavy box and plugging it in. The sound, the power, the clarity.....impressive. I hear sounds on games, tv shows and movies that i've seen and played many times that i've never heard before after installing this speaker. The bass is so deep and crisp it really feels like you are in a movie theater. Especially that i have it paired with the soundbar and rear speakers. I know it's pricy but just go for it, you'll be very happy you did. It's made very well and it will last. I've had other systems over the years including soundbars and separate subwoofers but this one I can actually say is top of the line. Just fantastic. On a side note, the app to configure everything also lets you set volume and a few other things for the speakers so once the initial automated setup is complete, you can still change things to your preferences. So if you don't want heavy bass you can lower the volume.

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.

Design is nice and it has some heft to it. My issue is the wireless connection. I have not been able to achieve a stable connection despite multiple calls to Sony. When it works it is great and I love it. However, the connection is seldom stable. Time for another call to Sony. :-(

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.

Would love to rate this product but I have been waiting over 3 weeks noe for the rubbish logistics that Sony have to deliver my order so I can try it. If I could rate Sony and this web site no stars I would. be warned there communication is nil - you can't even put a complaint of service in as they don't have the facility available?. ethers over conference or is it just denial. So do like I wished I had done and gone somewhere else. Quick to take your money but extremely slow to deliver. Hope fully they might respond to this!

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.

Surprised by the size of the sub but it does a very good job. I would like the app to allow us to go more in depth to play around with more settings to tailor it better but that's just a personal preference. Overall very happy

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.

I have had this for about 2 months and I am finding that it keeps losing connection with the soundbar. I can hear the bass disappear intermittently when using to watch tv, movies or listen to music. Worked through some general trouble shooting with Sony and now will need to contact them again (but they only provide call support mon-fri)

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.
