    Exceptional Product

    I have high expectations of the Sonos brand and this product does not change my overall impression of their products. So you may be wondering why I have 4/5 in my review and that exclusively pertains to the fact that I bought a good rated product and was surprised that some features do not work the way they should. The lights don’t work, there were more scratches than anticipated and it was so dusty I almost returned the item. The “Sonos” logo is supposed to light up during install but that individual issue was not related to the anticipated function of the system. It would have been really easy to setup had the light worked. I had to reset the system and those directions were also easy to follow. Again, always reliable and the sound is always amazing as well. Although disappointed in the state of the unit, the product itself reminds me why the Sonos products are well worth the cost.

    This is our second Sub Mini and we couldn’t be happier. These little guys punch way above their weight class and integrate flawlessly into the Sonos ecosystem. Ours stays nicely hidden underneath the kitchen sink and is paired to two Sonance in ceiling speakers to round out the room. Highly recommend!

    The mini is perfect for my smaller living room, but the smaller size doesn’t keep it from throwing out some serious bass. It was super easy to add to the Sonos app and connected with my Arc and LG TV immediately. I love it.

    I purchased the Sonos One SL about 2 years ago, and was floored at how good it sounded by itself. The only thing for me that could be better, was low end. I’ve always wanted this sub and finally purchased it and it has fully rounded off the bottom end and again, blew me away. Truly awesome.

    Excellent power and bass for such a small size package that can be tucked away in a corner and forgotten about. Pairs so well with the Arc for a total listening package. A must have if you have the budget to buy both as it really makes a noticable difference. Reliable wireless connection as well and happy to report I haven't run into any issues a year later.

    Great subwoofer especially for a pair of sonos ear 100. Love how easy it is to connect the sub. The sub mini sounds great especially against a wall. It also just has the power cable so no need for extra cables. It does connect through wifi so make surr it connected to the same one as your other sonos speakers.

    The Sonos Sub Mini is an excellent addition to any Sonos setup, particularly for smaller spaces or if you want to enhance your audio system with deeper bass without overwhelming your room. Its compact design makes it easy to fit into tight spaces, and the build quality feels premium. The sound performance is impressive for its size, delivering rich, well-balanced lows that elevate music, movies, and gaming. Setup is seamless via the Sonos app, and it pairs perfectly with other Sonos speakers, such as the Beam or Era series. If you're a Sonos user looking for an affordable, space-saving subwoofer, the Sub Mini is a fantastic choice.

    Essential For Any Sonos Setup

    I’d just bought surrounds (era 100s) for my beam gen 2, but definitely felt it was lacking something. I was never really a bass heavy guy, but my dad convinced me that it’ll complete the system. And no joke, it blew me away. It made a huuuggge difference. People on Reddit seem to feel the same as well (which was another reason for buying). The bass is crazy, maybe a little too crazy. I rarely max out the bass (because it’s just way too much, but it’s cool to show off to other bass lovers. It also makes the center and surrounding clearer and more crisps, since there’s less focus on bass for those speakers. I don’t have a massive room (it’s about 12x12 feet), but I can definitely see this being more than enough for larger rooms as well. Don’t regret it one bit and I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I think you need the sub first before getting the surrounds.

    This is paired with an older Sonos Playbar. The combo is very solid for a moderately low price. The real problem is with setting this up. I watched videos, read forums, and ended up having to go into Best Buy to get it resolved. When the power went out briefly, I had to go through the whole instal process all over again. It is NOT simple plug and play.

    The Sonos Sub Mini is a compact subwoofer that delivers rich, beautiful bass. Connected to my vinyl player and in-ceiling speakers, it adds depth and clarity to the sound without overpowering. Sleek design, easy setup, and great for enhancing any audio system.

    I have been a Sonos fan and user for years now and recently replaced my old home Theater setup with a Beam 2 and two Play One SL’s. I was not willing to fork out another $700+ for a subwoofer so I am glad I had waited for this model to come out. Great addition to my setup. I would highly recommend this Subwoofer to add to your system. If you have a really large room you may want to go with the Sonos Arc and original subwoofer but for medium to small sized rooms this setup is great you will not be disappointed.

    Purchased my first Sonos Sound Bar GEN 2 for vocal clarity, and though it was just fine, I made a decision to buy the sub mini to augment it, and hope that it would give me some nice bass. I was not disappointed. It gave me the base in my smaller apartment and the area that is placed it’s beside my TV in a 288 square-foot area that joins a dining area. Though I did hear that anything over 200 ft.² would be small for this sub mini, it was actually not and I am well pleased.

    I’m new to the Sonos ecosystem, and my first Sonos product was the Sonos one. It sounded good for a midsize living room, and I enjoyed listening to music and other audio files on. But when I decided to get the sub mini, I notice a HUGE improvement in the quality/clarity of my one speaker. Big improvement on audio quality as well as louder base response. The sub mini allowed my Sonos One to focus more on audio by minimizing its workload and low frequency sounds. I was still surprised by the difference in quality of music and movies that I would hear. Sometimes I go to the Sonos app and turn the sub on and off while listening to music, and the quality speaks for itself…Amazing! A great buy, if you’re not looking to spend $800 on the Sub Gen3 but still want quality base. I’m looking forward to getting more Sonos speakers for the future.

    We’re a small business Home A/V Installation Service that focuses on practical solutions that are future proofed to a certain degree. Sonos offers ease and practicality with a level of precision like no other. I tell my customers all the time it won’t literally happen but on the level of product comparison; Sonos has the tech and product level that redefines music and could put Bose in their place to out of business. Sonos is to retail shopping what Amazon has done to the world.

    Added this to the Beam Gen 2 setup and the sound quality is night and day. Definitely get this is you're trying to get the most out of your beam. Wait for a sale though
