Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to Summit Wireless Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with a final prospectus supplement, dated June 5, 2020 (the “Final Prospectus Supplement”) to the prospectus which forms a part of a Registration Statement (as amended from time-to-time, referred to as the “Registration Statement”) on Form S-3 filed by the Company August 23, 2019 (Registration No. 333-233433), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), and declared effective on September 6, 2019, relating to the public offering of 2,275,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The Shares are to be sold pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, dated as of June 4, 2020, by and among the Company and the purchasers identified on the signature pages thereto (the “Purchase Agreement”).

In connection with this matter, we have examined the originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of the following: (a) certificate of incorporation of the Company, as amended to date, (b) bylaws of the Company, as amended to date, (c) the Registration Statement and all exhibits thereto, (d) the Final Prospectus Supplement, (e) the Purchase Agreement and all schedules and exhibits thereto and (f) the placement agency agreement, dated June 4, 2020, by and between the Company and Maxim Group LLC (the “Placement Agency Agreement”). In addition to the foregoing, we have relied as to matters of fact upon the representations made by the Company and their representatives and we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us certified or photostatic copies.

We are members of the Bar of the State of New York.

Accordingly, the opinions expressed herein are expressly limited to the federal laws of the United States of America, the laws of the State of New York, and the corporate laws of the State of Delaware.

Based upon the foregoing and in reliance thereon, and subject to the qualifications, limitations, exceptions and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

The Shares have been duly authorized by the Company, and when issued and sold by the Company and delivered by the Company against receipt of the purchase price therefor, in the manner contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Final Prospectus Supplement, the Purchase Agreement and the Placement Agency Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

This opinion letter speaks only as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to update or supplement this opinion letter if any applicable laws change after the date of this opinion letter or if we become aware after the date of this opinion letter of any facts, whether existing before or arising after the date hereof, that might change the opinions expressed above.
