  1. VickiG

    Great sounding subwoofer. Amazing quality, you can watch movies in your home with the sound and feel of being in a theater.

  2. AKreviewer

    Sub-woofer outperforms our expectations -The deep sounds at the lower Hz you miss with other sub are here – it provides so much depth that we did not expect- great job bowers and wilkins

  3. Geek55

    $1500 …… did I do the right thing ? Oh yeah I did! Superb base – clean without being staccato in bass delivery . My wife and daughter are two rooms away watching a James Bond flick while I take a shower. It was a throbbing in the air and on the floor and I was wondering if a train was passing . But we have no train next to our house it was the sub woofer and it sounded great. Paired it with some Bowers and Wilkins 700 series speakers too.
    Absolutely fantastic sound experience .

  4. chisox1775

    Foundation shaking base! Clear, tight. Great for music, movies.

  5. Kumama

    we were looking for a sub base that would work for both theater and audio. It didnt do it. there was no seperation. For the cost, one would like more clearity.

  6. Sascha

    This sub has an deep and precisely bass.
    He is supporting my B&W 702.

  7. Drew

    This sub was an after thought because another set up went bad. Turned out to be pretty good

  8. Smitty91

    Make no mistake, this sub sounds great. A nice feature is that you can dial in the EQ for music or movies on the app. I ended up returning it because it wasn’t enough of an upgrade over my SVS SB-2000.

  9. IveryBass

    I first connected the speaker to my sound system, I could not hear the speaker. Once home theater movie function click, it sound great. Better than going to the theater paying all the extra to have that movie theater feel. The bass speaker hit in and everything sound like major thunder storm, earthquake or the best concert ever!!! Much worth the cost!!!! My wife wasn’t happy with what I paid until she heard the sound.. now she’s in theater mode all the time.

    Great for all television experience. The HD channels sound super awesome.

  10. OldSchool

    I was in the business decades ago, My more classic training still guides me today on home audio. (Simple test, check the weight on everything you buy in audio…heavier nearly always tells you something) It had been a while, but I recently rebuilt a home theater system, This B&W Sub – worth every penny. Buy it and you wont be disappointed if set up correctly. Ive been astounded by the quality and sound for both music and movies. Tight, low and powerful.

  11. Subwoofer

    Love the sound with great base. Matches the rest of my Bower & Wilkins system.

  12. Shrek

    If you’re looking for perfectly timed, hard hitting yet, tonal bass then, look no further. It goes LOW and set up is a breeze. I have this sub running with a pair of B&W 702 S2’s and couldn’t be happier, the attack and decay is phenomenal. If you’re into sound then you should get one of these. If you’re just simply into noise then this would be wasted on you…deserves 10 stars…happy listening

  13. CHOOSE

    We purchased the Bowers and Wilkins 700 series Subwoofer to go with the rest of the Bowers and Wilkins speakers

  14. Bomberito205

    Best woofer for my money!! Sounds great and looks great too!!

  15. Poncho

    First the bad… a little on the pricy side.
    Now for the good… too much to list. I tried 3 different subs none would sound clean and loud like i wanted. Came across this bowers and jumped on it open box deal. I’m glad i did.
    This sucker gets really loud but stays clean.
    Love it.

  16. WonderDog

    Bought a complete system with a Denon receiver and Bowers and Wilkins speakers and a Sony Bravia OLED TV and couldn’t be happier. Everything looks and great great — mission accomplished !!

  17. Rick

    Love it, very nice and clean looking. Sounds great and easy to use.

  18. BeingHanny

    excellent product. Best buy had a great deal and they installed it also at my house. Have geek squad install it for you as they know what they are doing. Great sound, just like movie theater

  19. vinibabs

    The title says it all. I was tempted to go cheaper and get the SVS Sb-2000 so I bought both to compare. It’s not even close. The DB4S is so much more musical and clear. This sub doesn’t get sloppy with complicated, loud, repetitive Bass rhythms. It’s really filled my very large room well. I’m running a 2.1 setup with the Bowers& Wilkins CM10s2’s. This sub really matches well with them—something I’ve had trouble finding with other subs even at similar price points. It’s possible a better value exists out there, but if you have the Bowers CM Or the 700 series, this is an easy way to get the subwoofer element of your setup near perfect

    The app is basic, but it works well and makes room correction easy
    .

  20. Sadconsumer

    Needs a special XLR cable that I had to buy myself separate. Nothing worked on the sub. Nothing, no sound. B&W online support was very lacking. Expected better from Best Buy on this.

  21. Cfm3110

    Really nice bass for our home theater. Highly recommend

  22. Mike

    I was wrestling over which subwoofer to purchase after my 20 year old Velodyne went bad (I loved that sub!). After reading review, after review, I was torn between a few different subs in the $1500-2000 price range. I kept coming back to B&W because I would like to eventually update my front and center channels and I love the sound B&W delivers. My only hesitancy with this purchase was the size of the sub being 10” whereas my older sub was 15” and I questioned if it would deliver the lows to my expectations. Reading all the stats, i.e. how it delivers down to 10 hertz/ 1000 watt amp/ woofer composition/ etc., I decided to take the plunge and go for it. And I Am Glad I Did! This sub delivers better than my 15” sub did, and it goes low, real low! I can’t help but smile when I play music or watch a movie with this thing. It has a nice weight to it, feels like quality, plays extremely clear, no distortion (many subs give noise, Not this sub – it is pure bass). The user app was a little different from what I was accustom to, but easy to figure out and it works fine. Final thoughts, if you are in the market for a subwoofer and are willing to invest $1500+ for one, get this sub!

    *Also, don’t base your decision on the performance in store… it was not impressive when I heard it at Magnolia theatre, at home it came to life!

  23. Hags

    Bowers an wilkins speakers are great. This sub has great response.

  24. PickyGuy007

    I’m a snob, about many things, especially audio components. This product is a winner. The build quality is exceptional and the unit provides a nice balance of bass heft and agility.

    In contrast to some reviewers, when I installed this unit in Q4’20, I had good luck with the app-assisted setup process. I ran the app for the sub and then re-ran Audessey for my entire system to re-balance everything.

  25. chad

    Nate, assistant general manager, Dave, store or magnolia supervisor, and Ben, in home consultant, have helped me with all my purchases recently. They have been absolutely amazing and knowledgeable

  26. Billk

    Plays nice and blends very good with my Bowers and Wilkins speakers in my home theater room to set it up first use the room correction with your audio receiver and then set it up using the subwoofer app using a iPhone then match it with the Bowers and Wilkins speakers that you have or also with other brand of speakers . Great Subwoofer from Bowers and Wilkins I highly recommend this subwoofer .

  27. Martin

    I’m using it in a stereo system. The sub is quite fast and complement the Focal Kanta very well. It provides an accurate bass, not a boomy one.

  28. BWUser

    Perfect with floor speakers already have and adds depth to everything!

  29. Techman

    Great addition to the speakers and for movies. You can’t go wrong with B/W products.

  30. Happy

    Great quality and sound, would definitely recommend it

  31. zee2022

    Lots of power and hits very low frequencies. Closed sub moves fast enough for music. Only issue is to make changes you need to go thru app. Was placed in room size 16 x 30 with 10′ ceilings… more than enough and will rattle your cabinets.

  32. beyondpluto

    Found this open box at 50% off. So, yeah, nothing under $1,000 compares to this — and I figured it would be a nice match with my 606s. Bass is tight and with 1000 watts and a range down to 10hz, it’ll go as loud and deep as you could want. Just for fun, I ran a 12hz tone at near 100% volume. It was below what I could hear but the whole house rattled. That was fun for about 6 seconds before it tripped the house circuit.

  33. Name

    Great sub, comparable to my more expensive Vandersteens, can be cranked up and boomey if that’s what you want. On the other hand, if you want musical it delivers.

  34. RajD

    Great subwoofer. I got just one, planning to buy another one.

  35. hifisurfer

    It is a fine product. I am not convinced that the quality will hold up for 5 years, but it is good for what it is

  36. Audioguy

    Excellent subwoofer, powerful, clear with no distortion throughout all frequencies, syncs well with B&W floor speakers

  37. stereojunkie

    About a year ago I was able to purchase B&W 805 D3s off the Best Buy floor. They are great, but lack a little low end. The B&W DB4S give me what I wanted for music and home theater. The 1000w amp is among the biggest in this price range. The size and finish is great — I didn’t want a massive box in my living room. The set up app worked well. Having purchased a number of speaker systems over the years, I hope this is my last purchase (my wife hopes so, too!).

  38. LarenB

    This sub puts out amazing bass on demand to make my TV experience that much more enjoyable. Can’t say enough about it!

  39. RamanaV

    Excellent product. I had to get Geek Squad service to get it connected and configured.

  40. Frank

    Great subwoofer…now the question…is one enough. Clearly a second one would be ideal. I have B&W 702S towers but this adds a lot to the ambiance in the room.

  41. Dewey

    Awesome sounding speakers. Why did I just learn about these?

  42. caddyman

    This sub sounds very good, big bass. but not to happy with only using the app to control the functions and volume. And no on off switch

  43. Jefg

    The one I got didn’t work. I spent 5 hours trying everything I could think of with no success. The app sucks. No controls on the back so, you have to use the app. I returned it and got the Definitive Technology 10″.

  44. Phil

    Works better than expected. Gives my room the punch it needs.

  45. Dodgerfan

    Just purchased my 2nd B&W 10” subwoofer!! The sound is amazing. Music and movies. You will not be disappointed with this subwoofer. Have these paired with 705 S2, future will get the 805 D4!! The sound is so clear and precise. It hits hard at high volume. Will not bottom out!! Would highly recommend, it’s worth the money if you can afford it, great purchase for your system, had them for a few months, very happy I got them!!

  46. Meer81

    Got this opened box for a great price and im glad i grabbed it when i did. It matches the output of my SVS 12 inch subwoofer with ease and is about half the size. It is a truly high end subwoofer!

  47. DennisG

    Loved this sub once I got it set up. It’s a little nuanced with the app setup but works well.

  48. Xstyle

    This little 10 made all the difference in my setup. I went front the def-tech built in towers with sub to a full B&W setup and I can not feel the bass not just hear. It’s not over whelming and makes me rewatch some old favorites

  49. PatrickH

    Added to my main stereo system. Great phone app that is easy to use. Deep bass that you can control.
