    Be very careful and do your homework before buying into the Sonos platform. It is very sensitive and requires expertise to get it to work seamlessly. Using the WiFi to connect and integrate devices into your system is VERY difficult. Directly connecting devices, like Sound Bars vis HDMI, are fairly easy. I bought the Subwoofer and it didn't connect. It got closer each time I started the process over, but in the end, Sonos recommends you connect via Ethernet if having issues with Wi-Fi via your network. I read all the blogs, support material, and tried to call support but limited hours and a 40 plus minute wait time after trying to get it to work on my own for 5 hours led me to return the Sub. Not worth it for me. For $700+ it shouldn't be that sensitive/difficult to set up. In the end, I believe Sonos requires it's own 2.4GHZ network with no other devices or apps on it.

    Sales people at BB told me this would work without the sound bar. Turns out, they were incorrect. Now I’ve had an $800 piece of equipment sitting in my living room for over a minute th collecting dust.

    I purchased a Gen 3 Sub, Arc, and 2 ERA 300’s for a home theater and it’s been a massive mistake. It’s nernalmost one year and I have not been able to enjoy the system for more than a week without having to reboot, retune TruePlay, or adding back a speaker that went missing from the app. Sonos used to make good hardware and had always struggled with software. Save your money and time, buy anything else.

    Crap. Sonos app is glitchy, never seamless, often says "no products found" even after we setup and used it. Find something else to spend your money on. Ive wasted a lot of money on this brand. Also, requires solid internet access to work, otherwise its useleas.

    It was supposed to work with Sonos Soundbar but inspite of two attempts by the technicians from Geek Squad, the combo did not work. Both items had to be returned.

    Even with a visit from geek squad, we were not able to get it to stay connected to the Sonos amp. We hardwired it to the Sonos amp and it worked for a few minutes then would not work. I ended up buying a sonance subwoofer hard wired to the Sonos amp and that worked fine.

    DO NOT BUY IF YOU HAVE RUCKUS ACCESS POINTS!

    After spending days on the phone with support I am now being told that the Sonos Sub does not work with Ruckus Access Points (which is what my house has pre-wired throughout). They basically expected me to run a cable across the house to make it work via LAN and not use WiFi. I ordered a wireless bridge online and will see if I can get it to work that way. Be careful with this one as the support is terrible, they barely even try.
