Put simply, the Sonos Playbar is the best soundbar we've ever tested. Deep, rich sound combined with incredibly well thought out design and Sonos' flawless multi-room audio system put this box on another level to all of its rivals. It's just a shame it costs so much. Better start saving.

Another great Sonos component, but you will go back and buy the Play 3s for surround and the sub making it an expensive surround system. When you buy it all, it sounds great. On its own, the sound was a little weak for me.

Sound and Sonos addition

Needs the surround and sub to sound great

Hi all. I purchased the Playbar and Sonos Ones as a surround system and to be fair music quality and movie sound are excellent. But a Caution to all. Because of it only using an optical output and Dolby Digital file formats some of the other surround formats have to be transcoded in the TV.

This isn't a soundbar, this is a Sonos soundbar, and it's really rather awesome

Throbs with Sonos quality; Massive music selection; Superior to built-in TV speakers

Optical connection; not HDMI; Expanding the system is pricey

The Sonos PlayBar is the company's latest speaker and one designed specifically to sit under your TV. But does it work, should you bother, and what's it sound like? Pocket-lint has been using one in our home, watching as much TV as is healthy, to find out. It's long, it's black, it's moody.

Easy to install; sleek; good sound; can connect to Sonos Sub and two Play:3 speakers for surround sound

No HDMI; no 7.1 support; streaming to other components require they are in the same zone

It's expensive, but it looks gorgeous, sounds brilliant, can be extended into a 5.1 system and it can join your existing Sonos multi-room system

I have Sonos Playbar, Sub, and two Play5 speakers, overall sound is very good on the Playbar and Play5 speakers and excellent on the Sub, almost no distortion at full volume, excellent software control from iPhone, iPad and iMac, with mesh network (each speaker transmits as well as receives) so

As sound bars go there have been a lot of attempts by vendors to deliver a knockout product that hooks up to a big screen TV in an effort to improve audio output, but no one has delivered a wireless soundbar as impressive as the new Sonos Playbar.

Excellent sound; modular system; looks fantastic; easy install

No HDMI out; solely optical

Excellent product from sonos, it sounds better then the bose solo, it produce enough bass and clarity from the tweeter, the downside is that you need to purchase the sonos sub to make it better, which cost you the same price as the sonos playbar itself
