    This was a bit challenging to setup as first but after I got the hang of it, I feel I am now a master. The system works very well with the Arc sound bar and integrated with my Samsung TV. The sound is clear and the bass is very heavy and powerful. I watched a movie recently while using the system and I felt as if I was in a movie theater. Great purchase. I love it!

    This was the last component missing from having enough Sonos speakers for a surround system. Have it under an end table next to the couch. Love having the added depth of sound it gives. I actually think it outperforms my old system of Polk speakers and an Onkyo receiver. The most simple way to add surround sound and not have to run cables or drill holes in your ceiling. Highly recommend.

    Oh my gosh - I love this thing! Worth every penny - the bass is exactly what I want the bass to be - it adds depth and richness to the sound and just adds something really rich to my morning coffee. I got the ones also and my wife was amazed - she now enjoys waking up to me listening to morning quiet time music - that's not easy to achieve. The Sonos Arc is the next purchase... here we go!

    *I purchased this alongside the Sonos Arc Soundbar* Incredible depth and immersion especially with music and movies. Live sports also have a deeper feel with the wide bass range. The only tricky thing with the system was figuring out where to place the sub for best sound experience. This is a no brainer if you are buying a Sonos sound bar.

    Have an Arc or Beam? If so, you are not getting the full Sonos experience without the Sub. While both of those products do provide an amazing sound without the Sub, the lows just don't exist. Setup of the Sub was super easy and one time watching a movie or sports with it connected, there was no going back. Yeah, it's expensive, but worth it.

    Bought this to go with my new Sonos Arc yo create a full surround with play ones and rears. The sub is well balanced and packs a punch. I lowered the EQ to -2 after Trueplay and it really helps to balance out the system so the bad seamless blends in with the rest of the sound. Great purchase especially if you have the Arc

    Really impressive warm tones without the typical rattling sub box found in other speakers. Very easy to control the bass volume with lots of freedom from low to high vs just on and off. It is a bit pricey but certain a quality piece of equipment that you can tell is very well made.

    This sub is a great addition to my Playbar and pair of Play 1s as surround speakers!! It really adds to the overall movie watching experience, and really fills out the room when playing music as well. Easy to set up, and quick to make setting changes on the fly when using the app on my iPhone.

    The sub made a really big difference to the sound of the system. It’s very well built and looks nice. The only negative thing is the price. I’m sure everyone has had that same filling about it. It’s way over priced for a sub for a system. I love everything else about the system. Just had to buy in stages because of the price on some of the pieces to put the system together for my place.

    Had some difficulty connecting to the system. My neighbor which is more savvy had no trouble connecting it. Sounds wonderful compliments the Sonos soundbar. Sports, movies and music comes alive with this package.

    Works as advertised, but Playbar disappoints

    I got this working with a SONOS Playbar after a software update. The bass is good but not as good as my KEF cube 12b. I never felt the Sub was adjusted perfectly and the adjustments you can make are limited by the SONOS app. Also, during setup it asks you to tap your phone on the side of the Sub. This never worked. I'm not happy with the stereo separation on the Playbar - all the sound seems to come from the center channel. Although everything worked as specified I was not happy with the combination and decided to retire my Playbar and return the Sub. The Sub is a great product and worked as advertised but the combination with the Playbar did not deliver the experience I wanted. Replaced with KEF LS50W and KEF cube 12b.

    Probably more like 4.5 stars. It’s a good addition to some much needed bass in the Sonos soundbar family. Using it with my PlayBar and two Play:1 speakers as rear surrounds. Bass is deep and room moving but can get a little muddy occasionally, but truthfully helps a lot. At full price this sub is way overpriced but they had it at $200 off at Christmas it made it a decent value (but still pricey). An added bonus is it is very good looking and the finish is a piano grade black gloss that is so good looking that I put it near our modern chairs as an accent piece rather than hide it in the corner!

    Love this subwoofer. Paired it with a Sonos sound bar and it adds great bass tones to the TV sound effects. In the Sonos App, you can easily adjust how deep and how rich your bass tones come through. When playing music on my Sonos network of speakers, you can push the music through the sounder/subwoofer making my media room the sound highlight of the day.
