BIG bass, great soundbar compliment!!

Purchased this together with the Sony HT-A5000 soundbar. After having it for a week together with the soundbar, THIS is the perfect compliment to it!! Even though the HT-A5000 soundbar has decent bass, I was so glad I purchased this subwoofer at the same time. The bass is very good, especially at the lower end and setup was easy to navigate!! Watching a movie or listening to music really brings out the low bass and it doesn't sound distorted at all. Sony does make a smaller sub, the SA-SW3, at a lower price point, but in my opinion spring a little more cash and get THIS sub the SA-SW5, unless maybe you have smaller living spaces. Again the bigger sub is room filling and just makes more sense, especially for those who love big bass!!

One of the hardest things to do in life, is describe sound, so much so that words such as "wide, stage, depth, resolution" all get used, but quite often are used to describe something completely different. What's even harder, is to describe subwoofers. So without any use whatsoever of wide, stage, depth or resolution (well maybe depth) let's try and let you know how good this sub really is... (And it's really good!) So, with most subwoofers I have always used the old "if it's heavy, it's probably good" and it seems to have done me well so far (with one exception in the 90s when I bought a sub from a market and it sounded horrific) and this sub is no exception, it tops the scales just over 13kg, of which I'd hazard a guess at a 11kg speaker and the other into ... MoreOne of the hardest things to do in life, is describe sound, so much so that words such as "wide, stage, depth, resolution" all get used, but quite often are used to describe something completely different.

So, with most subwoofers I have always used the old "if it's heavy, it's probably good" and it seems to have done me well so far (with one exception in the 90s when I bought a sub from a market and it sounded horrific) and this sub is no exception, it tops the scales just over 13kg, of which I'd hazard a guess at a 11kg speaker and the other into construction materials, it's a really solid build, and the finish quality is really good. Connection to the HT-A7000 is as simple as plugging it into the mains and powering on, that's it. The A7000 will detect it and connect to it fully automatically, it's really, really simple. Ok, that's all well and good, easy connection, good build quality.... But how does it sound.... Now, subwoofers tend to come in 3 distinct categories. 1 ones that sound punchy 2 ones that hit great sounding low frequencies 3 ones that sound like a giant blowing raspberries Number 3 is not good, probably best left to people's bad car installs whereas numbers 1 & 2 are good, sometimes you get subs that are both 1&2, these can have the potential to be excellent, the SA-SW5 is one of these. For setting up and checking subwoofers I generally use two listening methods. Firstly I play the Jurassic park T-Rex escape scene. In this scene you can check bass levels on many particular events, the foot steps of the approaching T-Rex, the thunder, and the roar. On the footsteps, bad subs will show a distinct warble effect after each pound as the sound tapers off, this subwoofer did not, it provided a great initial thud, followed by a perfect fall off as the sound tapers, great sounding. The thunder in bad subs will sound good, but you will get "empty" spots where the frequency is just beyond the response frequency of the sub, again this does not happen with this subwoofer, the sharp bang of the thunder coming from the A7000 is perfectly followed by a deep boom from the sub while the distant rolling bass and echoes are perfectly rendered from the subwoofer. Lastly, the T-Rex roar. Just because on a fully kitted out 5.1 or 7.1 system it sounds awesome, and yes, it really does on the SA-SW5. The second way I test subwoofers, is by playing a hi-res version of the popular dance song "Smack my (female dog) up" by the Prodigy. This song has so many elements that rely on good subwoofer set ups it's really unreal, the initial kick at 42 seconds is followed by so many elements that are deep and bassy that it's a really great way to check the capabilities of a good subwoofer. Each element, each kick, pad and synth sounds perfect to my ears. Each kick has punch, each synth has great depth, it's an overall exceptional experience. Which is how I'd sum up the SA-SW5 as a whole, it provides an exceptional experience, which in itself adds to the brilliant audio from the host A7000. For some the A7000 holds quite enough punch as it is, but for that extra bit of excellence, I would thoroughly recommend this unit.

This Subwoofer, which is designed for the a7000 Sony Soundbar, is one of the best subwoofers I have ever own, not only visually but great bass performer as well. Many of my previous subwoofer, produces tiny little “flaws” at certain moment with some movies. On this one I didn’t notice any flaw at all, only pure and neat bass. It is rated 300watts, and definitely it got all that power. On top of my previous Subwoofer I had a couple of ornaments, that were part of my home decoration, when I move them to the top of this Sub, I made the mistake to turn up the volume to the maximum, and the ornaments jumped to the floor. As well as the rest of the team (the A7000 and rear speakers), this unit comes with pluggable power cord.

My wife is an extreme cleaner, mopping and sweeping all the time and every time I have to move my old sub, it was a headache trying to find the Power outlet, which was unreachable and then to disconnect it and reconnect it back again. Now it is easy, just disconnect the power cord from the unit. You can get 12 levels of Bass, very neat, I have a couple of songs that I always use a way for measurement, Royals by Lord, Come Together by The Beatles. Not all the subs can perform the bass really well at the maximum volume with these songs, but this one pass by far my test. But when I put Movies like Avengers End Game, or Star wars, the battles couldn’t sound more realistic with the bass that this sub produce. The design is very elegant, even if its size is big it looks nice in my living room. The sides are round not only for cosmetic reasons but because Sony found out that it is best for sound performance and they are covered in a kind of leather material that feels soft and high quality. It match perfectly with the look of the a7000 soundbar, keeping the visual harmony of the whole team The setup is simple, once you go through the onscreen setup in the A7000, you select add wireless speakers, run again the Sound optimization Tool that ins part of the A7000 setup and in few second it will be ready to rock Red light indicates that a speaker is power off or standby mode. Green light indicates that it is power on and connected to the soundbar. This is a high end premium quality subwoofer, that you definitely will appreciate. And the perfect match, esthetically and great bass performer for the A7000 Soundbar.

No regrets
4 February 2023

HT-5000 paired with SA-SW5 sub, rear SA-RS3S speakers, and Bravia XBR75-Z9F. I was skeptical about this system due to the price but was pleasantly surprised. I couldn't justify the HT-7000 price for two more speakers and I'm happy with the HT-5000. Incredibly easy to set up. The range is excellent. The Atmos effect is incredibly pronounced. You must buy the entire system to have incredible sound. I connected the sound bar and subwoofer and thought I made a mistake with this purchase. It wasn't until I connected the rear speakers that the system came alive. Window rattling bass. Crystal clear dialogue. Music, movies, YT vids, even DTV sounds great. I have zero regrets. This is best setup besides a full component system.

Well, what can I say - outstanding job Sony! This subwoofer is an absolute must for your latest Sony Soundbars! Sony has been very kind providing HT-A5000 soundbar for me to test, it's a great product on it's own! But having additional accessories as Sony SA-SW5 subwoofer and Sony SA-RS5 rear Atmos speakers are a game changer! The quality of bass is superior, there is no distortion, clear, steady, punchy low bass. Seamless connectivity and stable connection to the soundbar. Built quality is exceptional. I highly recommend this product as additional accessory for Sony HT-A7000 and HT-A5000 soundbars. My personal opinion: I wouldn't waste extra £300 GBP on top of the range HT-A7000 soundbar, but instead would buy Sony HT-A5000 and add soundbar and Atmos rear speakers! ... MoreWell, what can I say - outstanding job Sony!

Seamless and Thunderous Addition to A7000 Soundbar
2 September 2021

Sony's new HT-A7000 soundbar is great on its own, but there's no denying the benefits of a discrete, standalone subwoofer. Sony has introduced two options of wireless subwoofers to pair with the A7000: the more compact 200W SW3 subwoofer, and this 300W SW5 subwoofer, which is an absolute beast. If you have the room (and cash) to spare, the SW5 subwoofer is an essential add-on for the A7000 soundbar. === SETUP AND CONFIGURATION (5 Stars) === The soundbar connects wirelessly to the A7000, so all you need to do is plug it into a power outlet. Even though the A7000 is sold separately, it pairs instantly and automatically with the soundbar.

If you have the room (and cash) to spare, the SW5 subwoofer is an essential add-on for the A7000 soundbar. === SETUP AND CONFIGURATION (5 Stars) === The soundbar connects wirelessly to the A7000, so all you need to do is plug it into a power outlet. Even though the A7000 is sold separately, it pairs instantly and automatically with the soundbar. All I had to do was turn on the soundbar, then plug in the SW5 to a power outlet, and wait for the light on the front of the subwoofer to turn green. Within about 5 seconds, the subwoofer was paired with the soundbar and I was ready to go. If you have trouble connecting the subwoofer automatically, you can attempt a manual connection through the settings menu (Home > Setup > Advanced Settings > Speaker Settings > Wireless Speaker Settings > Start Manual Linking). Once paried, the soundbar turns on and off with the soundbar. A solid red light on the front indicates that the subwoofer is off ("standby mode"). A solid green light means that it is on and connected to your soundbar. Once successfully paired, I recommend running the "sound field optimization" wizard again from the settings menu. === DESIGN AND BUILD QUALITY (5 Stars) === This is a large, bulky subwoofer, but luckily it has a very premium design. It weighs over 28 pounds and is about 16 inches high, 11 inches wide, and 16.5 inches deep. So it will certainly take up a sizeable chunk of your living room floor. The sides of the SW5 are wrapped in a textured leather-like material that is very soft and fingerprint resistant. The mesh on the front of the subwoofer blends in seamlessly with that of the A7000. The base of the subwoofer is a glossy black that adds a nice bit of contrast from the rest of the unit. === SOUND QUALITY (5 Stars) === Simply put, the sound produced from this subwoofer is absolutely thunderous and takes an already excellent soundbar to new heights. The volume of the subwoofer can be adjusted on the soundbar's remote control. Anything above a level 4 or 5 seems like overkill for my setup. Even at higher levels, there I have not noticed any distortion at all. It produces, clean, crisp, punchy bass, appearing to reach very low frequencies that lesser subwoofers simply can't touch. I watched the 4K disc of Mad Max: Fury Road (one of my demo discs for low-frequency effects) immediately after installing the A7000 and SW5 subwoofer. I can safely say that watching this movie with the SW5 is the best I have ever heard it, and I have owned quite a few subwoofers over the years. The SW5 is undoubtedly one of the best subwoofers designed to be used with a soundbar, but it might be overkill for those with smaller living rooms or in apartment/townhome settings. I haven't had a chance to test the smaller, 200W SW3 subwoofer, but I would encourage those with smaller setups or less demanding audio requirements to look at that model. === OVERALL === I won't go so far as to call this subwoofer a "must-own" if you have Sony's A7000 soundbar. The soundbar on its own is truly exceptional. But if you are serious about your home theater setup and getting the best possible sound from a seamless and easy-to-use system, then the SW5 subwoofer is a no-brainer. It is certainly expensive, but it's clear that Sony is targeting the premium audio market with its new line of soundbars and subwoofers. The SW5 is priced in line with its closest competitors and, in my opinion, offers unmatched design, sound, and ease of use. Part of me is upset that Sony did not bundle a subwoofer with the purchase of the A7000 soundbar. On the other hand, there's no way they could have included a subwoofer of this caliber and kept the price competitive. I appreciate the modular nature of the A7000, allowing users to add subwoofers and speakers if they so choose. I'm confident that the SW5 is going to provide many hours and years of home theater enjoyment. Highly recommended!

Bought this along with the 65 A90J Sony Oled tv I reviewed that as having the best picture of any set including the new Samsung Oled The TV is Sony Soundbar particular Then I reviewed the Sony 7000 Soundbar and noted that by itself it is okay but when paired with a newer Sony Tv that has both the great internal speaker system and the S center channel Hookup—- it then turns this Soundbar into a great Soundbar. Which brings me to the final piece- that being this SW 5 sub. It puts out plenty of bass. I never turn it above 4. It completes this great system. The only reason I did not give it a 5 is that I have to reset it every 3 or 4 days. Sony CS has walked me through the factory reset 3 times now and after each one-they tell me the crackling will never happen again. ... MoreBought this along with the 65 A90J Sony Oled tv I reviewed that as having the best picture of any set including the new Samsung Oled The TV is Sony Soundbar particular Then I reviewed the Sony 7000 Soundbar and noted that by itself it is okay but when paired with a newer Sony Tv that has both the great internal speaker system and the S center channel Hookup—- it then turns this Soundbar into a great Soundbar.

Sony CS has walked me through the factory reset 3 times now and after each one-they tell me the crackling will never happen again. But after 4 days or so it does start up. The solution is simple now - I just unplug both the soundbar and sub and wait 30 seconds and replug in. All works great. Now before I watch anything I turn all on and go to a saved Jurassic Park and listen If no crackling- then good to go. If crackling then turn off and then on—- and then good to go. I will say this never happens once good to go. Only when first turning on. My router is a good 11 feet from the sub and I have a great internet hookup. Both Sony and BestBuy have offered to exchange. But it does sound great once all going. Personally I wish all the Soundbar makers gave you a hard wired option - but they do not I am just used to testing my system first thing and taking the extra minute to get the awesome sound. If it was not for this- based on the sound alone - I would have given it a 5.

Surround yourself in a blanket of sound!
10 September 2021

This is an optional extension of Son'y new flagship series of soundbars. I highly recommend getting this additional subwoofer to extend the low end of your system. This will make movies much more entertaining! The subwoofer is simple to setup as it automatically pairs to the soundbar when you turn it on. See the included review of the primary HT-A7000 soundbar below to understand how the entire system functions: This compact soundbar gives you a 7.1.2 experience! With two up-firing speaker for overhead sound, two beam tweeters, five front speakers for winder surround, and a built-in subwoofer, you can’t ask for more in such a compact size. Utilizing Sony’s Surround Engine and S-Force PRO Front Surround, this system created virtual surround sound that comes from all ... MoreThis is an optional extension of Son'y new flagship series of soundbars.

Utilizing Sony’s Surround Engine and S-Force PRO Front Surround, this system created virtual surround sound that comes from all around you, so you can enjoy the full immersion of your Dolby Atmos and DTS:X content. If you have any doubts on how well their Surround Engine works, find Sony’s demo video on YouTube showcasing the technology, it will blow you away! Technology size, this soundbar has endless connection options (HDMI, USB, Optical and Analog, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi streaming, Spotify Connect, Chromecast, Apple Airplay 2, and more), and supports up to 8K HRD passthrough content. Combined with High-Resolution Audio for crystal clear precision or their 360 Reality Audio, you can submerse yourself in an amazing live concert or studio session experience. Your music comes to life like never before! Sony utilizes Edge-AI (Artificial Intelligence) combined with DSEE Extreme (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) to upscale compressed digital music files in real time giving you unmatched sound quality. Upon setting the system up, you can let the system auto-configure all the settings for you using their Sound Field Optimization system. It uses the built-in microphones to intelligently measure the position of each speaker in your room. This fine tunes all of the sound technologies to deliver you the best experience possible. Setting up the soundbar takes no time at all, it’s almost ready to go straight out of the box. Simply plug it in, connect to your TV using the HDMI eARC connection and power it on. The quick on screen guide will run you through an auto configuration and have you listening in no time. Additionally, it has the capability to connect via USB, optical, or analog connections. It’s a little over 51 inches wide, 3.25 inches tall, and just over 5.5 inches deep. It’s total power output is 500 watts. I cannot stress more how much this device will blow you away. It has amazing clarity, hard to believe surround sound, and the compatibility is outstanding. I’ve listened to a wide arrange of content, from 4K Dolby Vision/Atmos movies, full surround concerts, or plain boring 2 channel content that is brought alive by the DSEE processing, this device does not disappoint. If you’re looking to expand this system even more, make sure you purchase the optional rear wireless speakers, and optional wireless larger subwoofer. The devices connect automatically and extend your listening pleasure even further.

Unleashes the HTA7000 with clear and powerful bass
10 February 2022

I have the HTA7000 Soundbar and it is excellent overall as standalone. Adding this subwoofer releases the Soundbar from performing bass duties and delegates that to the Soundbar. The Soundbar will now allow more subwoofer audio levels going from only 3, to more than 10. This allows the Soundbar to provide the cleanest audio along with bass. Without the subwoofer the Soundbar can produce decent bass at the cost of introducing muddiness when cranking the bass levels to high. The addition of this subwoofer the muddiness goes away. The audio from the subwoofer is excellent. It provides deep bass that fills the room. I placed the subwoofer next to my couch, basically on the opposite side of the TV and Soundbar wall. I was worried about this not being optimal placement ... MoreI have the HTA7000 Soundbar and it is excellent overall as standalone.

I was worried about this not being optimal placement but it worked well. The room fills with powerful bass. The subwoofer box has excellent build quality with sof touch materials all around. There is a front firing and also a downfiring driver. It only uses 43w of electricity and automatically connected with the Soundbar when plugged in. It is about 12 feet away from the Soundbar and there have not been any wireless connection issues. If you don't have a preference for a TV I would highly recommend pairing up the Sony Soundbar with a new bravia TV because the TV remote can fully control the Soundbar and there will be no requirement to have multiple remotes. The Soundbar, sub, and rear surrounds turn off and enter standby mode when the TV is turned off and they turn on she the TV is turned on. It is great that the sony ecosystem fully integrates itself with Soundbar options available on the TV's quick menu system.

unbelievable bass!
1 September 2021

The newest Sony sound bar, the HT-SA7000 is a 500 watt sound bar with 5 front speakers, 2 up-firing speakers, 2 directional tweeters, and dual subwoofers all in a sleek, attractive package that packs a punch! Has optional (separate) sub-woofer and surround speakers which can be purchased but aren't necessary. Sound bar has easy on screen set up instructions and utilizes a "sound optimization" feature which adapts the sound to your listening environment. The "up-firing" speakers reflect the sound off the ceiling, while the directional tweeters force sound outward to produce a sound that truly surrounds you. The unit comes with 2 HDMI + HDMI EARC, a USB port, optical-in, and an "S-center" port for use with a Sony TV which uses the TV's speakers to become your center ... MoreThe newest Sony sound bar, the HT-SA7000 is a 500 watt sound bar with 5 front speakers, 2 up-firing speakers, 2 directional tweeters, and dual subwoofers all in a sleek, attractive package that packs a punch!

The unit comes with 2 HDMI + HDMI EARC, a USB port, optical-in, and an "S-center" port for use with a Sony TV which uses the TV's speakers to become your center channel (I do not have a Sony TV but imagine that this feature would be cool). Although the SA7000 is a little pricey, it provides an impressive sound that easily fills any room. Also includes voice control for use with Google or Alexa, and the blue-tooth allows you to pair it with your favorite music source, or you can "air play" directly to it. I ran across a couple negatives but they are minor. Like may sound bars, this one is tall and since my TV is on its own stand, the sound bar obscures the remote sensors of my TV.I ended up putting it behind my TV which probably limits it somewhat but it is still very impressive. Of course, this wouldn't be an issue if your TV was wall-mounted or if you mount the sound bar on the wall using the included template and brackets. I also receive my television signal "OTA" (over the air) paired with a Tivo. Unfortunately this created a delay issue between the audio and video where the mouths and voices do not match. I attempted to correct this in the TV (I have a Samsung) settings but this did not remedy the problem. The only solution I've found (so far) is to change the settings on the Tivo from Dolby to PCM. This took care of the sync issues but limits the Dolby options of the sound bar. If streaming directly through the TV, I do not have this sync issue. Maybe there is a better fix for this - I'll keep searching. This is impressive and could possibly eliminate the need for an A/V receiver - it sounds that good! I paired the system with the optional SW5, which is a free-standing 300-watt subwoofer that will definitely thump. Alert the neighbors because this thing sounds incredible - just like a theatre minus the rumbling seats. It provides crisp, clear bass and really adds depth to the sound bar. I tested out the "immersive AE" on a 20-year-old movie (Pearl Harbor) to see how it would respond and was blown away. Planes flying around sounded as good as a movie theatre. If you can swing the additional expense, you should ABSOLUTELY get the SW5 subwoofer. if you have neighbors close by, they do offer a smaller subwoofer - the SW3.
