    Great sub. Looks good and sounds good. Unfortunately its a little small so the output is bad if your room is too big.

    Sub Mini & Arc

    I'm using the Sonos Sub Mini with the Sonos Arc and a pair of Era 100s for surrounds. I added the Sub Mini after owning the rest of the system for a few weeks. I know Sonos recommends the Sub Gen 3 for the Arc, but for me, the Sub Mini is perfect. The room is about 14' x 22'. If you're into earth shaking explosions, the mini may not do it for you. But it really fills in the low end nicely for movies and music.

    This replaced a gen 3 sub. New non-glossy finish is really nice and now matches the Arc Ultra and ERA 300s. The connectivity issues I had with the previous gen 3 sub and WiFi 7 are gone.

    Added this with the Sonos Arc 5.0.2 and it really makes a difference. Very easy to set up and brings theatre sound to my den. Highly recommend adding this if you only have the soundbar.

    Excellent bass from this small subwoofer. I paired this with two Era 100s in my office/workout space and it sounds amazing. The subwoofer added much needed lows while the Era 100s can handle the mids and highs. Highly recommend. Setup was very easy.

    I was already a part of thr sonos family - with a beam and 2 SLs for surrounds, so the mini was a no brainer. The set up was simple, took literally 3 minutes! You are able to EQ the amount of bass in the app, and most importantly, the overall sound quality is amazing! The mini fits right under my end table, with no shaking of the ground like most subs, while still packing a punch! I can't say enough good things. If youre on the fence.. do it!

    I was skeptical about buying the smaller sub, but after installing it in my family room paired with my Arc Ultra I couldn't be happier. It fills in the missing bass from the Arc perfectly

    I am an audio guy so I was a bit skeptical this thing would have any output at all. Absolutely flabbergasted at the low frequencies that too little 4x6 in speakers produce. Made me a believer. Bought one for the basement system as well

    Was skeptical, but clearly better sound quality than my Bose system,as well as the Bose on the showroom floor. Bass fills the first floor of the house, yet doesn't overpower the highs and mids. Looking forward to completing home entertainment system with the Era speakers. Sonos app, as well as set up are super easy!

    Very Clean Bass - No Vibrations, High Quality

    Performance: Bought this sub for my basement system (beam + 2 play 1’s) and placed it directly on a hard floor. The sound is very punchy and has good weight to it without any vibration. Movies and music sound excellent and I was surpised by how much it added to gaming. The isolation is excellent so small thuds have a punch but no follow on vibrations which makes the gaming experience much more immersive. Set Up: You’ll need the sonos app but if you’re buying this sub, chances are you already have other sonos products. Set up has been simplified and connecting to my exisiting system took about 20 seconds. Simply place the phone near the top of the unit and it connects. Build Quality: The finishes on the unit are high quality plastic, the rubber feet help keep it in place and it generally feels pretty solid. I have two beams and four play 1’s and this unit definitely feels the most “premium” of the products. Overall: I had high hopes for this system and it exceeded my expectations. I would recommend for smaller home theater set-ups, living rooms & gaming set-ups, and as a dedicated hi-fi system.

    Despite it being the Sub Mini, the quality of the bass, the sound it puts out really surprised me. It helps push those deeper tones while (if your setup is fully sonos like mine) allows the other devices to focus on the mid and higher tones. Well worth the money

    [Employee of bestbuy] Paired with my Sonos Beam Gen 2 this little subwoofer makes a BIG difference. Giving the majority of the lower frequencies to the sub allows the beam to provide a better listening experience for both music and movies. I watched Mad Max Furiosa last night and it completely chnaged the watching experience. In the sonos app you can disable the sub on demand, in certain scenes of the movie I turned the sub off to hear what it would sound like without it and man, without the sub its like all the depth of the sound disappears. Definitely a must have upgrade if you own a beam. If you’re on the fence like I was, just bite the bullet and get it! If you end up changing your mind you can always return it!
