    Probably the best thing about this is the design. Rather than a nondescript black box, this is a lovely design. It’s interesting enough that you don’t want to hide it. It can live out in the open unlike other subs. It thumps nicely, plenty for my needs on movies and hip hop.

    Sonos Sub makes the whole system sound better

    I bought a Sonos Arc soundbar and initially decided against spending the extra money for a sub. Why do I need thumping bass? Taking advantage of a sale, I decided to try adding the sub. I’m very glad that I did. The extra bass adds a whole new dimension to whatever I’m playing through the system. More importantly, the sub does some of the work the soundbar previously was doing, so the soundbar actually sounds better than before. The sub synchronizes seemlessly with the soundbar or other Sonos speaker.

    Great subwoofer. This thing is amazing. Tremendous sound from a small package. The sub blends into most decor. It is attractive yet not flashy and easily placed for optimal sound. I give it 4 stars on value. The MSRP is high but justified. I got mine on a Bf sale for $600. That is a great deal, highly recommend, even at full price. Fills a room with a lot of adjustability to fit your needs. This thing has big rumble. Cannot believe how loud it is. I keep mine set anywhere from 0 to 3 and it goes to 15…

    White goes well with the trim of everything in my house as far as cxents are concerned. Simple and easy to pair with the arc or beam. Love it. Adds the much needed thump when watching movies or listening to music while cleaning.

    The Sonos Subwoofer Gen3 made all the difference in the overall sound reproduction, depth, warmth, imaging and, impact of movie soundtracks and musical reproduction. I have the Sonos Beam Gen2 soundbar and two Sonos Era 100 background speakers. Without the Sonos subwoofer; the Sonos Beam was very good on human voice but, needed the subwoofer's extra bass for impact and realism. The overall sound stage is improved..

    I bought this sub to contribute to a richer experience with my previously purchased pair of Sonos One SL speakers in my living room. Listening to music without the sub was OK but once the sub was integrated into the pairing....I totally had one of those 'you don't know what you were missing' moments. I enjoy electronica/EDM music - so i picked a song that i knew had a rich spectrum of sound.....pounding bass and lovely treble. The overall experience was the music sounded more full and complex than it was previously. My advice to you is if you have a pair of the Sonos wireless speakers....I'm sure they already sound great.....but to make them sound amazing, you really need this sub.

    I got sick of the space and lack of continuity in my existing expensive Home Theater System. I purchased the Arc soundbar along with 2 SR1 speakers. The system sounded good but not great. After reading several articles and reviews, I realized that to complete the home theater system. I needed the Sonos Sub. The sub takes the lower range of sound (generally bass) from the soundbar and allows the soundbar to do what it does best which is produce sharp midrange and treble. As soon as I hooked up the sub (which might have been the easiest set up I've ever gone through using the Sonos App, the sound quality went from pretty good to WOW. The sub is not overly THUMPY (unless you want it to) but produces a true surround sound experience (I had to include the 2 SR1's). The sub itself is beautiful (piano black) and has a very unique look.

    Room filling bass that pairs well with the Arc

    Great addition to the Sonos Arc. I used the Arc stand-alone for half a year before deciding that it couldn’t confidently handle the bass. The Arc has had bass bottoming-out issues since launch and I’m still not sure if it has been fixed yet. But with the Sub, you don’t need to worry about that any more. The bass is taken to another level, and the only thing you need to worry about is the neighbors, or perhaps the electric bill. You can place it anywhere in any direction and get room filling bass that makes explosions in movies sound so much more immersive. The app makes pairing it with your Arc or other Sonos devices easy. Downsides: one, it is heavy, but you won’t care after you successful place it in your room. Two it is expensive. Only purchase if punchy bass is worth that much to you.

    This subwoofer went on sale on black friday 2024. It was the only thing missing from my Sonos setup. I snagged it immediately when I saw the sale. This enhanced my sound system tenfold. I am in love with my new Sonos Sub! Cannot say anything negative about it.

    The Sonos - Sub(Gen 3) Wireless subwoofer adds another dimension to the sound from my Sonos Arc. I had purchased the Arc soundbar back in December '22 and didn't buy the subwoofer because I thought it was pricey. While the sound from the Arc was great, I missed the bass and bangs and crashes in action movies. Recently the price went down by a hundred dollars and I decided to buy the sub-woofer. Now I have it all. Besides the sound, it looks pretty cool and you might want to put it in a place where people can see it though it will perform just the same even if you put it in some unobtrusive place.

    After a couple of delays my Sonos Sub Gen 3 finally arrived! If you’re familiar with Sonos products then the Sonos Sub Gen 3 is more or less the same with the deep bass response and elegant design we’ve come to know from the previous generation. The major difference with the Gen 3 are it’s internals. I believe it has an improved WiFi card, BLE, and improved processing power. I do wish the Sub came in a matte finish this time around but the glossy design is still beautiful. If you’re looking into buying the Sub, I highly recommend it as it makes your Sonos system better overall. When you add a Sub to your Sonos system, the low frequencies get offloaded to the Sub so that the Beam/Arc and Ones can handle the higher frequencies. It’s a must if you’re serious about investing in the Sonos ecosystem.

    Although the price is steep, the bass and overall system sound fantastic! The sleep design is also a bonus. I wish it weren't glossy but that's a pretty minor detail.

    Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! I have an 85 inch Sony tv and then got the Sonos arc and two sl1 speakers. I didn’t know if the sub would make a difference because already had great sound. Wow! Was I wrong! The Sonos sub made me feel as though I was actually at the movie theater! I can’t tell you how much my whole family loves to watch now! It’s really an amazing set up with the sub added! Also is an added beautiful piece for the room. Wish I would have bought it earlier! I was upset that price went up so much but used my birthday discount and rewards to get it close to old price. Truth be told If I knew how much of a difference it would make to the system I would have paid even more! So no complaints here! Thanks for not letting me down!

    Honestly wasn’t sure what to expect, but if you’re in the Sonos ecosystem, it’s a must buy. I’m a big gamer and film guy. Both experiences have been massively enhanced. I’m not an audiophile, but the bass feels plentiful. When I listen to music, I’m not disappointed as well. I initially started with an arc and the sub addition made a substantial difference.

    I know I am writing this little late and I am the person who really not liking to give reviews and feedbacks. But for sure I feel like I share my thoughts on this I bought this last year. I am really enjoying the immersive experience sonos arc and subwoofer. The sound quality is phenomenal rich, clear, and immersive, making it perfect for music, movie nights or playing games. The setup was surprisingly straightforward, and also got app configured my phone I can control all the settings and sounds related stuff from my phone. which I personally like super super useful feature. Overall, if you’re looking for top-tier audio performance, Sonos is a fantastic choice, and Best Buy is the place to get it for their great service and warranty options. Highly recommend!"

    Outstanding Subwoofer

    Well I just completed my Sonos sound system by adding the subwoofer to my Beam and a pair of Sonos One SL's and all I can say is WOW!!! This sub is the most outstanding sub I have ever heard. It's all quality lower end with no rattleing or vibrating things on shelves and cabinets. I love how easy it is to add or reduce bass with the Sonos app for just the right amount of bass for anyone's enjoyment. Right out of the box from the packaging to the little wipe to get rid of fingerprints it's obvious just how well it is made. It's heavy, sturdy and is so beautiful it will compliment any house hold interior. The sound is simply amazing and just pure quality at any level. It's more expensive than most subs but you get what you pay for and I can guarantee this, you will not find a better sounding sub for twice the cost of this one.
