    Went from Sub Mini to Sub Gen 3 with the Arc

    I originally purchased a Sub Mini to pair with an Arc and two surrounds in a large family room with high ceilings. The Sub Mini seemed to just be ok in that size room so I returned it and purchased the Sub Gen 3. Sounds so much better. I do have the Sub Mini paired with the Beam Gen 2 and a couple of surrounds in the bedroom and that sounds great too. If you have a big room go with the Sub Gen 3. If it's a smaller room you can probably get away with the Sub Mini. Both were great purchases.

    Crucial addition to any Sonos system. I have this Gen 3 paired with a Sonos Beam and it completely transformed the listening experience. I also have a Sub Gen 2 paired with One SLs and this is a great combo as well. The Sub is definitely pricey but worth it.

    Have been looking at soundbars off and on (mostly off…LOL!) the last few years. Multiple times i have looked at Sonos. Finally decided to buy the Arc and am not disappointed. It has great sound and is easily set up.

    Great sound, Sonos app makes it easy to do on the fly sound adjustments. As they say it does fill the room with sound. My wife and I are in our 60’s,we don’t have the hearing we used to. I spent $$$$ trying to get a good sound for watching TV and movies. The difference between soft voices and the dramatic sound had me constantly adjusting the volume so we could he the dialogue. With the app i adjust it 1 time and I’m done. I could not achieve this with other systems. Love it!,,,

    I am really enjoying this subwoofer so far. The set up was very easy using the Sonos app and even though the base is surprisingly good on the Arc, this makes a significant difference, especially when listening to music. The quality "feel" of this unit and the fit and finish also did not disappoint.

    I have to say, this was part of my first Sonos purchase. Im an audio guy at heart and it was a hard choice to ditch my wires for wireless. But this system pumps! Quality sounds on all frequencies. This sub packs WAYYY MORE of a punch than I thought it would too. Its a bit pricey, but if you enjoy quality audio for tv/movies/games/music, then this will not disappoint! Sonos makes linking to the ARC Soundbar and other speakers a breeze, as well.

    This subwoofer works fine, it looks good, and it can generate room thumping bass. It can be moved anywhere in the room where you have an electrical plug, because it connects wirelessly to your TV or other device. We paired it with the Sonos Arc sound bar, which is a superior sound bar. Quite frankly, the Sonos Arc sound bar is so good that I doubt most people will need all of the extra bass generated by this Subwoofer, unless they are watching action movies.

    I bought the entire sonos surround system but received the Arc first. While I was impressed with the sound and bass, the bass became so much more immersive and impressive once I connected the Sub! Wow!! I dare say that my entire Sonos system sounds better than a movie theatre because of the control I have over the bass, treble, sub, surround, and overall volume! (Our living rooms are obviously smaller than a theatre room so that helps the bass sound boomier and surround sound more apparent.) Regardless of the reason, this sub has impressed me with movies and music. It produces a clean bassy sound that will have all your friends wondering where the sound is coming from (my sub is in a corner of our living room next to our furniture which hides it). I simply cannot describe how great this sub is. It’s something you’ll just have to experience in your home to know. Well worth it!

    I was 100% convinced that Bose was the best speakers above every other brand boy was I wrong Kyle the Best Buy associate was so amazing and showed us the Sonos TVs sound bar and the matching large subwoofer. It has made my Sony Bravia TV that much more amazing I was having a hard time hearing how people were speaking and this sound bar and sub has changed my life. Let’s talk about the sub itself. Let’s say you’re watching a movie in a helicopter goes across in the movie the sub will literally make you feel as though a helicopter is rumbling through it is amazing. I cannot believe that there’s a brand out there that beats out those, but Sonos far far is superior to Bose speakers.

    Great deep bass from a soundbar subwoofer

    This subwoofer is on the level of JBL 9.1, samsung q90r, and klipsch cinema soundbars. It is a great quality sub which i feel hits nice and smooth. Comparing to samsung soundbars, sonos hits deeper and has more “feel” and texture to the bass rather than just boomy or only “hearing” the bass like samsung does. Jbl 9.1 comparison - the jbl is on par with the sonos for sure. They both hit deep, and you can “feel” the bass. However, the JBL sub is more wooly sounding, and not as consistent. It loses focus more often, so you just hear messy, sloppy bass at times and it can over-power the sound of the movie and show. Sonos is much tighter and cleaner. Klipsch subs hit deep but require tuning (if youre i to that) in order to blend well with the system. Once dialed in klipsch sounds great - however it to can over-power the sound of the movie or show your watching which poses an issue. Sonos did a great job with this sub and i am happy to own it.

    I don't know how but this sub sounds awesome and you don't know what size woofers are in it and it looks like a nice piece of furniture/décor for the home..My only drawback is the price this thing cost as much as the soundbar or even a soundbar system but if you can get past that this is a must have

    Great sub, though a bit pricey. The cost premium is a no-brainer if you’re in the Sonos ecosystem. Tune play makes it really easy to ensure the sub sounds great in most places you could put it. The output is adjustable depending on your needs. I love that it’s not an eyesore.

    This product is expensive and it is loud, but the sound quality is very impressive. Just be aware that if you get this it is going to make your television sound a lot louder during action sequences especially. You will think you have it set to a normal volume, but then there will be a bombing or gun fight on the show you are watching and it will get so loud that the wall shakes. That is not a criticism, it does exactly what it is supposed to do and it does it very well. It is a warning however that if you can't have the volume loud this is probably not the product for you. If you like having the volume loud with the best sound quality possible however then this is absolutely a great product. I have it paired with a Sonos Arc and two Sonos Ones in the rear and I am not exaggerating when I say it is the best sound system I have ever heard in my life.

    I have it paied with arc. Bass fills the room , elevates movie and music experience. The design adds to room asthetics. Only complaint would be lack of finer eq controls to tinker .

    A nice addition to my SONOS home theater system

    I added a Beam and a couple of One SL's in my study/exercise room (about 12'x12'), and I used an early Christmas present from my sister to splurge on the Sub. It really boosts what was already pretty good sound for the little "home theater" I had set up in there. The quality of the Sub's build makes you realize it’s worth the high price, and the sound is perfect. The key is to never be aware of the subwoofer, just be aware that the bass is richer, and that’s exactly what you get here, with a fairly effortless set- up. The SONOS app takes care of that. I wish there were more explicit step-by-step directions, but I had it working and all synched and tuned in less than 30 minutes. Very impressed!

    Best subwoofer out there

    This Subwoofer is cinema quality and paired well with the Arc Sonos bar. It's literally the best sound system i have ever had. The Sonos app allows you to connect additional sonos products, and even add additional subwoofers. Order 2 subwoofers if you'd like a defibrillator as a sound system! The only difficulty I have had was that the Subwoofer got unlinked from my WiFi during an update to my Eero Pro 6E and it took quite a few attempts to get it to re-sync appropriately. I found that the sonos app was saying the subwoofer was disconnected, but it was actually connected (despite the orange light displaying on the subwoofer itself). The next day everything worked so not sure what what was about.

    The quailty of sound and the ease of setting up the sonos sub and sound bar is beyond anything I have setup before. I have done the receiver, 7 speakers and a 12in sub before, but its a wiring mess. Takes a couple hours to get everything all setup and ran correctly. Not with sonos! Just plug it in, follow a fee prompts on your phone and boom youre all done and enjoying movies again. It took me maybe 5 minutes from when I plugged it into the wall to when I had sound.
