For all of the quality, flexibility and whole-home hotness that goes into Sonos' wireless speakers , there was always something missing: bass. Not in absolute terms, mind you, since Sonos' speakers have always had relatively good bass performance, especially for their compact sizes.

Powerful; potent bass for such a small sub; Excellent extension and impact; Force cancelling design eliminates unwanted vibrations; Solid; inert design; Easy to set up and use

Bass a little too thumpy at times; No standard line inputs; i.e.

It's a lot to pay for a subwoofer that can't be used with non-Sonos hardware. If you can swing the cost, though, you'll get a tremendous boost to sound quality that integrates smoothly with a full Sonos network.

Deep; tight bass; Easy setup; Unique design

Very expensive; Can't be used with non-Sonos gear; Dust magnet

When you're looking for better sound from your flat panel television, sound bars offer a seductive solution: subtle, sexy, self-contained speakers that promise to bring out the best in your favorite movies and TV shows. But for most soundbars, the promise of "surround sound" is an empty one.

SONOS platform is ideal for music lovers; Discrete 5.1 surround from compatible sources; Elegant looks; Wireless operation; A model of simplicity

Expensive; Single optical input; No DTS decoding; Limited by TVs in getting discrete 5.1 sound

I bought the sub to accompany the sonos playbar I ordered. The sub arrived before the playbar so I paired it with two play 5's I have in the kitchen until the playbar arrived. Once the playbar arrived I set it up in the bedroom with two play 3's and the playbar.

The latest addition to the Sonos family of products is the Sonos SUB, which is specifically designed to work with the company's speakers-the Play:3 and Play:5. Either of these can be paired with another speaker of the same model to create a stereo pair for a wider soundfield.

When you decide to pick up a Sonos speaker, you decide to jump into an ever-expanding ecosystem of both hardware and software, with a brand that's dead set on pushing an immersive experience out to the customer.

Sonos' Play:3 wireless HiFi speakers were a huge hit when they were first released in the middle of last year. Great sounding audio quality from a wireless product isn't always guaranteed, but the Play:3 did the trick.

Late last month, Sonos , the maker of the Sonos Wireless HiFi System, announced it latest addition to its set of wireless speakers, the Sonos Sub . Unlike the Sonos Play:3 or Play:5, which were pretty complete wireless speakers, the Sono Sub is a 16 kg heavy dedicated subwoofer which is designed to...

This was beyond easy to setup, even on my finicky network. And it immediately adds boom. Too much maybe But after true play tuning it was too little and I had to bump it up with the EQ. I suspect Sonos is playing games with the sound profile when you turn the sub on-off in the EQ settings.

Over performance is very good but for the price might be better. Would still recommend for upgrading a Sonos system. As my luck would have it a week after purchase ABT offered 20% off a Sonos purchase. Bought the playbase through ABT and the sub does enhance its performance.
