    The sub made a really big difference to the sound of the system. It’s very well built and looks nice. The only negative thing is the price. I’m sure everyone has had that same filling about it. It’s way over priced for a sub for a system. I love everything else about the system. Just had to buy in stages because of the price on some of the pieces to put the system together for my place.

    Works as advertised, but Playbar disappoints

    I got this working with a SONOS Playbar after a software update. The bass is good but not as good as my KEF cube 12b. I never felt the Sub was adjusted perfectly and the adjustments you can make are limited by the SONOS app. Also, during setup it asks you to tap your phone on the side of the Sub. This never worked. I'm not happy with the stereo separation on the Playbar - all the sound seems to come from the center channel. Although everything worked as specified I was not happy with the combination and decided to retire my Playbar and return the Sub. The Sub is a great product and worked as advertised but the combination with the Playbar did not deliver the experience I wanted. Replaced with KEF LS50W and KEF cube 12b.

    Pricey albeit good addition to a Sonos system

    Probably more like 4.5 stars. It’s a good addition to some much needed bass in the Sonos soundbar family. Using it with my PlayBar and two Play:1 speakers as rear surrounds. Bass is deep and room moving but can get a little muddy occasionally, but truthfully helps a lot. At full price this sub is way overpriced but they had it at $200 off at Christmas it made it a decent value (but still pricey). An added bonus is it is very good looking and the finish is a piano grade black gloss that is so good looking that I put it near our modern chairs as an accent piece rather than hide it in the corner!

    Love this subwoofer. Paired it with a Sonos sound bar and it adds great bass tones to the TV sound effects. In the Sonos App, you can easily adjust how deep and how rich your bass tones come through. When playing music on my Sonos network of speakers, you can push the music through the sounder/subwoofer making my media room the sound highlight of the day.

    I had already purchased the Sonos Arc and two Sonos SL Ones and they sounded good, but when I add the Sonos Gen 3 sub the sound was taken to another level. I was pleasantly surprised with the sound and quality of the sub woofer and it definitely adds the bass that I was missing.

    I purchased this after having such a great surprise with the Sonos Arc. I wanted to add some bass to my bedroom setup. At first I couldn’t justify the $700 price tag. I finally took the plunge and I got to say it is most definitely worth it if you’re looking into a good sounding surround sound setup and need some oomph in your bass adding this is a no brainer.

    Game changer for Sonos Arc

    Previously I only had the Sonos Arc, and while I thought the Arc was a good soundbar, adding the sub has definitely taken it to the next level. First movie I watched was Dune and the sub sounded incredible. Definitely pricey, but I was lucky and got it 50% off with Best Buy Total Tech. If you can get a deal like that this purchase is a no-brainer.

    A game changing addition to the sonos arc

    The sonos arc sounds great without the subwoofer, but adding the subwoofer is still a game changer whether listening to music or for movies. I have had wired speakers in the past and recently moved to a rental where wiring is not an option. The Sonos 5.1 really is amazing to the point where I do not miss the surround set up with receiver, five speakers plus sub which cost a lot more.

    Sonos products do not disappoint and this paired with a soundbar worked beautifully for our living room. Our floor area is an open concept and these sonos products just immerse the area in great sound. This is a great buy.

    The bass from Sonos sounds so great. It’s not like normal bass it’s more directional. But honestly if you have a smaller room get the new smaller bass because it’s similar in a small space!

    I bought this to pair with the Sonos Arc and I'm glad I did. Without this sub the Arc lacked the punch I was wanting. Made a big difference. If you have a Asus router you might have the problem I had with getting the sub to register in the Sonos app which you have to use to set the system up. A phone call to the excellent Sonos customer support did the trick.
