I bought this subwoofer around a month ago and I am seriously impressed with the sound. The subwoofer is very loud so you may have to turn it down, but it provides a serious punch with smooth bass. I paired it with my HT-A5000 and it was very easy to setup, my soundbar recognised the subwoofer straight away. Highly recommended, you will not be disappointed.

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.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...

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 punchy2 ones that hit great sounding low frequencies3 ones that sound like a giant blowing raspberriesNumber 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.

I use this with my Sony HT-A7000 soundbar and what a brilliant addition to my system this is.It’s a big speaker but the deep rich bass sounds are second to none, really enhancing the immersive viewing experience whatever you are watching or listening to.With it being wireless all you need is an electrical socket nearby, I plugged it in and within seconds it was connected to my system ready to use.You can adjust the bass volume separately on the remote control, I have it at its highest setting as I like to hear the rumble of the bass when watching a movie.This speaker is solidly built, and its sleek modern looks with its rounded corners, will fit well in any environment.The performance of this speaker along with the Sony HT-A7000 for me I the best sound ... MoreI use this with my Sony HT-A7000 soundbar and what a brilliant addition to my system this is.It’s a big speaker but the deep rich bass sounds are second to none, really enhancing the immersive viewing experience whatever you are watching or listening to.With it being wireless all you need is an electrical socket nearby, I plugged it in and within seconds it was connected to my system ready to use.You can adjust the bass volume separately on the remote control, I have it at its highest setting as I like to hear the rumble of the bass when watching a movie.This speaker is solidly built, and its sleek modern looks with its rounded corners, will fit well in any environment.The performance of this speaker along with the Sony HT-A7000 for me I the best sound experience I have had. I would, without hesitation, recommend this this sub-woofer speaker.
I bought this from Sony before Christmas, they got it to me quickly and registered it for me, I got it to supplement my Sony HT-A9 cinema sound system. The reviews were universally excellent and said it married well with the HT-A9, I hadn't connected it to power at first then when I did I found myself in slight shock, realising that something I routinely run through my system is actually meant to sound completely differently to the way it has before, this is true of my HT-A9, all my content is being acoustically rediscovered slowly, I can honestly say I've never had that before. If you want get the best quality, the reference home cinema sound for the next decade, look no further than Sony.
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 ... MoreWell, 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!

I pre-ordered the HT-A9 speakers before the first ones were in the country 2 years ago as no new Sony AV amp was available. At the time I didn't include the SW5 as there were no reviews available and I thought the A9s on there own would be enough. After prevaricating for a long time and reading reviews I finally took the plunge. It was absolutely the right thing to do. Reviews I had read said what a difference it made to the cinematic experience. It really does make an immersive experience for Atmos and HDR programs. I was sceptical about it improving audible speech but it does make a big improvement to the audibility in action sequences. I am sure there is a technical explanation but it is of no consequence to me as I just enjoy re-watching Blu-rays and feeling ... MoreI pre-ordered the HT-A9 speakers before the first ones were in the country 2 years ago as no new Sony AV amp was available.

This is a very fine subwoofer though I, now, hesitate raising the volume to max as there was some pretty bad feedback coming from inside the unit. I promptly lowered the volume, but I'll tell you right now, that anybody who buys a subwoofer experiences the temptation to turn it up to max. I will not be doing this anymore, which saddens me greatly. Still, this is a solid product otherwise. It synced seamlessly to my HTA5000 and my two rear satellites after having been previously synced to my SW3 which has 100W less power than the SW5. The difference is noticeable and well worth the price difference in my personal opinion. If your home theater setup is in a small and less open space, then I would recommend the SW3 as the gains would be marginal in that environment.

If you have an open concept style home, then the SW5 should be your purchase.I will add one more thing, the Sonos subwoofer(newest gen model), is superior to this unit, but the HTA 5000 and 7000 do provide a better sound stage overall in my opinion. Just my two cents based on extensive listening experience between the two.Cheers.
Upon arrival, the quality and attention to detail was clear to see, not just in the product itself, but the packaging and instructions too.The installation, (even for myself with limited technical ability) was easy.The connection instructions are clear and logically formatted with useful connectivity tips.The power connection, approximately 1m cable and a link button for connecting to the sound bar, are placed discreetly at the rear; therefore the appearance is not affected.It's very simple, yet stunning looking design.The clarity of sound is extremely impressive.When linked with rear speakers and sound bar the subwoofer comes into it's own; the sound becomes all enveloping!Overall, I am delighted with the all aspects of the product.

I bought the Sony SA-SW5 Thursday 31-8-23 & it is SUPER DUPER FANTASTIC. Sony have really excelled themselves with this premium product which is teamed up with the HT-A9. The subwoofer was the missing link in terms of sound & the quality of it. I thought I was in a cinema not my lounge. As ever Sony have truly delivered KUDOS to them.
