    Not as good as the Bose 700 sub. I only kept this item for a day and got rid of it the next. I replaced the whole sonos system by going with Bose. The most sub would shake my house while the sons lacks base.

    The Sonos Sub Gen 3 is a breathtaking piece of audio technology that has transformed my listening experience. It is an absolute game-changer, delivering bass that's as deep as it is precise, and adding a whole new dimension to my home audio system. Upon unboxing, the first thing that struck me was its stunning design. The Sonos Sub Gen 3 sports a sleek, minimalist look with a high-gloss finish that can integrate seamlessly into any home decor. It's an elegant piece of equipment that doesn't just sound good but also looks good. But the real magic starts when you plug it in. The setup process was a breeze, thanks to the intuitive Sonos app. Within minutes, I had the Sub Gen 3 integrated with my existing Sonos system, ready to elevate my audio experience. The performance of the Sonos Sub Gen 3 is nothing short of spectacular. It delivers an incredibly deep and detailed bass that you don't just hear, but also feel. It has an uncanny ability to dig into the lowest frequencies, making every bassline and drumbeat more vibrant and captivating. What impressed me most, however, was the clarity. Even at high volumes, the sound remains crisp and distortion-free, a testament to its superior design and craftsmanship. One of the most noteworthy features of the Sub Gen 3 is its compatibility with other Sonos speakers. Whether it's a Sonos Beam, Playbar, or Arc, the Sub integrates flawlessly, filling in the low end and adding a rich, full-bodied sound to movies, music, and games. And with its wireless design, there's no need to worry about cable clutter. The Sub Gen 3 also excels in its placement flexibility. Due to its force-canceling drivers, it can be positioned anywhere in the room without loss of sound quality or vibration. It can stand upright or lay flat, giving you the freedom to arrange it according to your space and preference. In conclusion, the Sonos Sub Gen 3 is a triumph in sound engineering, bringing depth, clarity, and fullness to your audio experience. It's not just a subwoofer; it's an investment in superior sound quality that will take your music and movie-watching experience to a whole new level. Highly recommended for anyone seeking to enhance their home audio system.

    I love the deep bass and modern design of this subwoofer. It was a great addition to my Arc soundbar and to my exterior terrace sound system. It get concert quality sound. A lot more bass than expected and with the ease of setup and self powered wireless option this sub is in a class of its own. I highly recommend to buy with the Arc sound bar because both combined completely change your TV sound experience.

    The King Kong of Home Speakers

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    It was time for me to upgrade my home speaker system. I started researching various brands. I had tested the SONOS set at a bestbuy store but wasn't feeling it (It probably wasn't tuned well) and moved on to researching other brands. I actually purchased 3 different brands (Enclave, Bose 700 soundbar and 700 subwoofer, and the Klipsch WiSA wireless speakers) and tested all 3 at home. I ended up settling with the Bose soundbar 700 and the 700 subwoofer. I kid you not, the Bose was very very solid. Then I visited a friend who had SONOS system all over his home (properly tuned), and the sound the sound was mind blowing. Incredibly reach and the subwoofer was the bomb. I got back home and purchased the SONOS Arc, the Gen 3 arc and surround speakers. Set it up and tuned the system appropriately and man, this thing is a beast!!! When the wife at home who knows nothing about sound systems, heard the SONOS, she herself packed the Bose 700 and told me to take it back to the store LOL. I tell you this folks, this is the best and the only sound system you will ever need!!! Believe me, I have tested others side-by-side, they are not match.

    I really like how easy the setup is. Adding the sub to my Sonos Arc was seamless, and repeating the room tuning equally seamless. The sub has very satisfying bass; movies get that much more immersive. I wouldn't go so far to call it audiophile grade, but I am very satisfied. There is one aspect that I do not like though, which is the glossy finish. Not enough to take away a star, just a personal aesthetic preference.

    Sonos Sub Gen 3: Shakes My Walls (In a Good Way!) Let me tell you, the Sonos Sub Gen 3 is a game-changer for my home theater setup. I was always a bit disappointed with the bass from my Sonos speakers, but this subwoofer adds a whole new dimension to my listening experience. Music comes alive - I can finally feel the deep bass notes in my favorite songs. It's not overpowering or boomy, but a perfect, balanced thump. Whether it's the driving beat of electronic music or the low rumble of a rock ballad, the Sub Gen 3 adds that missing depth that makes you feel like you're right there in the concert hall or recording studio. Movies get even more immersive - Explosions hit harder, car chases feel more intense, and movie scores take on a whole new level of atmosphere. It's like being sucked right into the action. But again, the bass is so well-balanced that it doesn't overpower the dialogue or sound effects. Easy to set up and use - Just like all Sonos products, the Sub Gen 3 was a breeze to set up. The Sonos app walks you through the process in minutes, and you can even adjust the bass level to your liking. Overall, I'm absolutely thrilled with the Sonos Sub Gen 3. It's the perfect addition for anyone who wants to take their Sonos system to the next level and experience their music and movies in a whole new way. If you're looking for a subwoofer that delivers powerful, room-filling bass without sacrificing clarity, then this is the one for you!

    We got the Arc soundbar, sub woofer, and two surround speakers over Thanksgiving. Setup was very simple, calliberation was a breeze, it was up and running in less than 10 minutes. The best part is that there were no wires invilved, its all wireless. The sound experience is amazing, our living room is completely transformed. I was little apprehensive about the performance as I have an open layout with high celings, but this is just awesome. I would definitely recommend it over other soundbars.

    As an avid home theater enthusiast, I recently added two Sonos Sub Gen 3 subwoofers to my setup, and the results have been nothing short of spectacular. These powerful subwoofers have completely elevated my movie-watching and music-listening experiences, shaking up the couches as if I were in a Dolby theater! The first thing that impressed me about the Sonos Sub Gen 3 is its sleek and minimalist design, which seamlessly blends into my living room decor. The build quality is top-notch, and the setup was a breeze with the Sonos app guiding me through the process. Now, let’s talk about the bass performance. With two Sonos Subs placed strategically on either side of the couch, the impact of low-frequency sounds is simply mind-blowing. The Subs produce a deep and resonant bass that adds a whole new dimension to movies, music, and games. Explosions, rumbling engines, and dramatic scores are delivered with such intensity that I feel fully immersed in the action. The beauty of the Sonos Sub Gen 3 lies in its ability to sync flawlessly with other Sonos speakers in my setup. Whether I’m watching a blockbuster movie or streaming my favorite playlist, the Subs work in perfect harmony with my Sonos soundbar and surround speakers, creating a cohesive and immersive soundstage that fills the room. The Subs’ performance during music playback is equally impressive. It doesn’t matter if I’m listening to bass-heavy hip-hop tracks or symphonic masterpieces; the Sonos Subs reproduce the bass notes with precision and depth, enhancing the overall listening experience. Another aspect I appreciate is the ease of control. Through the Sonos app, I can fine-tune the bass levels to my liking, ensuring that the Subs complement the content I’m enjoying without overpowering it. While the Sonos Sub Gen 3 might come with a premium price tag, its exceptional performance and seamless integration with my existing Sonos setup make it worth every penny. If you want to take your home theater or audio setup to the next level and feel the rumble in your couch like you’re in a high-end cinema, the Sonos Sub Gen 3 is an absolute must-have. It has transformed my home entertainment experience, and I can’t recommend it enough for fellow audio enthusiasts.

    This lil guy is SO powerful. I didnt know bass could have a “crisp” sound but GOLLY when i tell you the sound / deep notes this bass hits are smooth as BUTTER. I would recommend this speaker for a living room that is 700+sq ft with high ceilings. If your space is smaller than that, the mini subwoofer would be a better fit. I’d still highly recommend sticking with Sonos products. The connectivity has never given us issues. Great product.

    I thought in would have to compromise the depth of base and surround sound by retiring my 12 inch traditional sub. This was easy to set up. It looks amazing, and the bass surround sound is all enveloping without being overpowering. I don’t have to adjust for music or movies or sports. It finds a way tonput me in the scene and action. Buy it. You will be glad you did.
