    Best sub for the Arc!

    I was in a dilemma if I wanted a sub. Sonos Arc by itself has enough bass for a small to midsized rooms. But I wanted more and my living room is kind of open plan. This sub can rock the place! Not in a bad way but the bass is very smooth and blends well with the arc! Movies are much better and the songs are extremely cool to listen to. If you have the space, go for it and you would not regret it. And it looks so cool too!

    If you are creating a home theater experience, you have to add this to your Sonos Arc system. I like that it's wireless and can be placed anywhere. I have it right next to my sofa and after Tuning it, I couldn't tell that the Sub was right next to me. The low end sounded fantastic without any distortion. I had to turnt he bass down to negative because it was giving off so much punch

    Pretty speaker - but not for me

    I bought this to finish out my ARC and surrounds system and I ended up returning them, because at that price point I wanted to be a bit wowed. I wasn't wowed - but I dont think it was necessarily the fault of the Sonos system. I have an odd room to put it in and I just dont think the system was meant for odd shaped rooms, but rather square of rectangular rooms with flat ceilings (mine is half-vaulted). As far as this bass module goes, I was able goes - the set up is incredibly easy and having the ability to move it around until you get the best sound in any part of the room is great, however this is a heavy speaker and is very well built. It's also finger-print and smudge prone because it's shiny surface. Sonically, I was underwhelmed. No matter where I placed the speaker, I just longed for more bass. I see some folks have opted for 2 of these for their system and that just seems too expensive.

      Hi, and thank you for taking the time to try our products! We really appreciate it. We have a feature built into our app called trueplay tuning that solves this problem exactly. All you need is an IOS device and about 2 minutes per room, to tune your Sonos speakers to the environment that you're in! john.milton

    Outstanding sound quality from a very small footprint device. I look forward to each new Sonos piece I add to the overall system. Very easy to setup and so many features beyond a simple sound system. The app is incredible and the customization is nearly endless.

    Powerful, thunderous bass

    Beautifully designed, the SONOS SUB (Gen 3) is the perfect addition tot he SONOS ARC. This makes a huge impact in the quality of the sound when paired with the SONOS ARC. There's no denying it adds an excellent low-frequency depth, ranging from subtle bass anchoring to serious deep bass thunder, and the SONOS app lets you easily adjust bass levels without leaving your seat. So while the price is high, the results are undeniably excellent.

    Must have for Sonos Arc system

    This is a new unit, replacing a larger Polk 12" sub. Like the Sonos Arc it's mated to, the setup was trivial; took maybe 5 minutes. The sound is very clean, music and movies. I did do some experimentation with location and have left it in its current spot for 4-5 days. No issues, just trying to get it 'perfect'. The look is quite nice; shiny piano black finish. A polish cloth comes with it...not kidding. The wife thinks she can stand it in her living room...yay! Very pleased, great sub.

    This sub woofer is so powerful I have to put the level on -2 . The base is still thumping ! Great quality and when the technician installed my system ( told me I needed the Sonos 100 speakers for surround sound and a wireless speaker for my Patio.) I can’t wait to get surround sound in my family - room !

    After hearing the Arc and Sub in the BestBuy store and compared it to other soundbars, the difference was clear. I ordered an Arc along with the Sub....and also a Move. The installation and wifi connection was very straightforward. The sounds for both music and video is amazing.I have an older Bose surround sound system and the Sonos sounds is every bit as good. I have also found the Sonos app to be very user friendly. I was also very impressed with the quality and design of the packaging the products come in.

    Love this sub! I’ve tried other brands before Sonos and I’m by far more satisfied with this! It really thumps! It’s so easy to set up, the wireless connectivity is super convenient and it looks awesome. Really makes my Arc sound even better.

    I purchased the ARC soundbar from Sonos last year with a couple of surround speakers......the system performed well but lacking some punch in the low end. Decided to add this Sub to the system and it's exactly what I was looking for.... it fills the room with the lows and actually enhanced the midrange sound from the soundbar.I am very pleased with this purchase and am now enjoying wonderful sound for TV, Movies and Music!

    Sonos + Best Buy- a great deal I got

    First of all, Best Buy is just excellent is providing the best customer experience. I got proved once I again right as to why I should buy my tech from Best Buy. They delivered well before they said they would- classic aha moment when you realize you got your product 2 days earlier. The packaging was neat, no damage and all the material came inside. The sub gen 3 from Sonos is the real deal. It brings us close to the theatrical experience but at the comfort of our home/ room. After adding the sub, I can feel all the low-end rumbles and reverb very clearly which I wouldn't notice otherwise. I was shocked when I watched some movies with the sub. They sound completely different, powerful, full, clear with the sub (soul-less without any sonos equipment). The sub is expensive but a MUST in sonos ecosystem especially if you have an arc. I would recommend getting sub first over the surrounds. I am going to BestBuy soon to get my bigger TV now that my Sonos makes my TV small lol.

    This is one of the best sub’s I’ve owned. It is an easy setup, and love how it is controlled on your phone. The bass itself is excellent. Not too bassy , but can be if you want. Works incredibly with the ARC. It’s not cheap, but to me, worth the expense. Highly recommended!
