## DB Sub Reviews in United States

### *---- "Apps so bad I returned the sub"
I’ve been a bowers and Wilkins customer for 40 years now. In replacing my much loved PV1 I thought the logical upgrade was a DB3D. The problem is this app stalls so much and the subs so dependent on the app that I couldn’t ever get a reliable connection with my 805D4s. What a horrible, relationship ending experience this app has been. REL for me sadly but life’s too short to be laboring over bad tech in a hifi setup.
-- Chrisgj1, 2026-03-07

### ***** "Works great!"
Update: I was able to update the firmware on the sub, and I haven’t had any connection problems since then. Thanks B&W!

Overall, this app is excellent. Configuring my sub with the app instead of fiddling with switches and dials is much appreciated.
-- jdhiro, 2021-02-08

### **--- "Cumbersome"
Went to update the app. Kept spinning for 20 minutes. Then error msg. Deleted app and re installed. Doesn’t detect subwoofer any more!!!

Pl help resolve.

### *---- "The App update"
Since the app updated I lost the ability to change settings on my sub, tried everything... until I gave in and bought an older iPhone that’s not the iPhone 11 Pro.
-- Nicholas Strut, 2020-04-27

### **--- "Disconnects and/or unpairs at random"
First, let me just say that the features on this app are great when they work properly. I like the control it affords one over the sonic character of the speaker.

Primarily, I use the app to manually disable the RCA inputs I have connected when I am done using it, because if I don’t it’s too sensitive (even in low sensitivity setting) and will periodically turn on when not in use. This is inconvenient, but manageable.

My major complaint is this: Every once in a while, seemingly at random, the sub will fail to connect to the app, after which time it seems to just totally unpair. This results in me having zero control over it, and the sub will just power on and off every 15 minutes or so if not being used. The only way I have found to fix this is to unplug it for a few minutes, then plug it back in. Aside from the fact that this should absolute not be necessary on a subwoofer that costs nearly $2,000, this is a huge pain because I have to crawl on the floor and get it out of its snug location to even unplug the thing. I have the metal carpet pegs installed, and this heavy sub can’t exactly be slid in and out of place, it’s a whole production. Then I have to re-tune it because it was moved. Please fix this issue.

### *---- "Doesn’t work."
Needs update. Keeps telling me it’s at high temperature.
