Sonos Sub – Black – Wireless Subwoofer

Bought this to use along with the ARC soundbar.
No issues to report. Sounds great, setup was painless and so far no connection issues as some others have reported.

Best sub for a soundbar system.
I’ve tried the Klipsch cinema 600 and 300, Samsung various, lg various, but this is in a class all by itself.

My main level is an open concept – Kitchen, Living Room, are Dining are all open. This thing sounds great without rattling the windows (although it probably could if I turned it up).
Night mode setting is helpful for when the kids go to bod.

Don’t waste your money elsewhere. Buy once, cry once. It’s worth it.

Pros:
1. Sound Quality
2. App & Settings
3. It looks great (white and glossy)
Cons:
1. Price – hope you’re able to find it on sale!

Amazing Subwoofer! if you have the Sonos Arc & Ones this definitely recommended to complete the surround sound package. Definitely adds the much needed Bass, even though the Arc alone had solid bass.
The subwoofer and the rest of Sonos products are so easy to setup and use via the Sonos app. Love the the trueplay auto tuning. Overall this is the best sound quality I’ve tested and done a lot of research on, the one good thing to come from 2020 was Sonos stealing the show. From the Arc, to the ones, to the Subwoofer they are beyond expectations. 10/10 I’d recommend this surround sound setup for any movie fanatic/sports buff or gamer/music lover. Sonos app is on another level compared to the others for iOS. Subwoofer is easily worth the money for any Sonos user, also it has a great look as far as subwoofer’s go. You don’t want to hide it like other ones you may have had. Great job Sonos! My LG CX OLED “65/PS5 is loving it 😁

So much has been written about the extraordinary sonic experience of the Sonos soundbar and sub system that there is nothing I can add. The two units will set you back about $1500 total which is a lot but all I can say is “worth every penny.” My wife can now hear dialogue on television programs so well that we have stopped using the closed caption feature we used for years. Best review I have is my wife was standing near the sub and commented she didn’t hear anything coming out of it. I turned it up and played some Bach from Spotify and told her to close her eyes and point at where the sound was coming from. She couldn’t. The speaker arrays and the engineering of the system bounces music around the room so that you are immersed in it, rather than it blaring from any one spot. As one review said, it is indeed “3D sound.” Connected to the ARC HDMI on my smart TV I am continually impressed with this sub and the Sonos system. We got the white sub and it is beautiful as well. I did find the WiFi connectivity more challenging than many indicated; I had to turn the sub upside down and manually type in the speaker serial number to get it to connect, but once done it is sonic heaven. Love it.

El Sub es feroz. Una pieza de ingeniería digna del precio.

Lo utilizo junto a un sub adicional, dos era 300 y la arc. Un sub potencia los graves en servicios de atmos como netflix y la app de sonos para música, pero al agregar un segundo sub la distribución de los sonidos graves mejora notablemente y también, la sonoridad del conjunto.

¿Valdrá la pena? depende del
gusto personal y la calidad de los graves que se desee percibir, desde mi acústica sí, aunque es solo la opinión de un lego.

Si tienes la posibilidad y el gusto auditivo por vivir el sonido, no dudes en sumar el Sub a tu teatro en casa. 2 subs, bueno, dependerá de ambas variables.

¿Cómo colocarlos? hay muchas reseñas, videos en youtube, shorts, etc, lo cierto es que tras el tiempo puedo concluir que ello depende del espacio en que pienses usarlo. Lo puse bajo la arc en posición vertical -tal cual en la foto en que luce a lado de un mueble negro – justo frente a mi sofá y noté que los graves se tornaron más audibles, especialmente desde el perfil del sub, es decir, estando de frente al perfil de éste, entonces lo cambié a modo que la rejilla del sonido apuntara hacia el perfil pero aún así continue percibiendo los graves desde el perfil y no desde mi sofá. Es cuestión de arquitectura de mi espacio, según mi investigación.

Como sea, al final con un solo sub me gustó que los graves no fueran tan audibles desde mi sofá, pues de perfil en verdad son algo infernal. Si tu propósito es sentir los graves en el cuerpo y no solo escucharlos, entonces coloca el sub detrás de tu sofá, recordarás esta reseña.

Si adquieres 2 subs, pon uno tras el sofá y uno enfrente. Aunque insisto, dependerá de la arquitectura de tu espacio, en mi caso y sin lugar a dudas la experiencia no puede describirse fielmente desde la vía escrita. 🙂

I guess the first question that comes to your mind would be why on earth I will spend so much (and prices do go down significantly sometimes)for a subwoofer that doesn’t even work alone. (Yes you need a Sonos ecosystem with it or at least a beam or arc. ). So if you think is it worth a subwoofer for 70k? No its not worth.. Now add this to a home theatre setup with sonos beam and two rear sonos one, the price shoots up to over 1.5lacs.. Now is that complete system worth 1.5L? Yes every penny!! The sound fidelity that the whole system provides with wireless connectivity and a great ecosystem with airplay its amazing. Without the Sonos sub your system is not complete as a home theatre. The rumble of a suspense scene is never audible without this monster. It truly feels like theatre.
Now if sonos sells all of the home theatre in one go.. there will be hardly any buyers. So it allows you to buy in small increments. I forat got the Sonos Beam, then the two rear channels amd finally the sub, and surely its complete now. I did it over 2-3 years so did not hurt that much. Now like my other reviews lets discuss some points.
1. Sound quality (10/10): Deep bass and just bass nothing else. Room shaking bass. I am at a rented place and the false ceiling kind of creaks when this runs..
2. App / setup experience (9/10) : Typical sonos setup experience. You need to do a new trueplay tuning after adding this.
Since it just produces bass and nothing else there is no highs and mids to discuss. It just seamlessly integrates with your sonos setup.
Cons:
Price: Its definitely high and Sonos is charging that because you are already invested into the eco system and whatever be the price there is no other option. Very much like Apple devices.
Good to know:
1. You can adjust bass levels and bass volume.
2. I feel it works better in a corner. Human ears cannot detect direction of bass. Hence you can keep anywhere.
3. There is a luxury personified site who are official support provider in india. If you are out of warranty then support can become pretty expensive and mostly they will offer you some refurbished item as they dont repair things here. I had to use support for a sonos one that had gone bad. It was in warranty luckily and got replaced but took 2-3 weeks. Here its not like apple. They dont have service network in every major city.

Verdict: Buy it if you are one of these:
1. Sound freak.. you appreciate quality of music system.
2. You are a gadget freak and every few months you feel aaaah what’s next 😜
3. You have a sonos system and want to build ipon it.
4. You absolutely need a wireless system which seamlessly works with apple devices.
5. You have tons of money and dont care.. 😁

Otherwise you can buy other great home theatre systems like Onlyo/Yamaha etc. They are much complex to setup and maintain. But much cheaper. But more value for money.

My setup:
Projector: Epson 2150 Home Cinema 120 inch screen.
Sonos: Beam + 2 Sonos one + Sub.
Apple Tv 4k
Connection: Apple TV to a audio/video splitter to get optical out audio for 5.1. Video out from splitter goes to projector. Optical goes to Sonos beam with the provided optical to hdmi convertor with Beam.
I dont have a regular Tv at home as after using this setup for last 4 years. Any TV seems very small 😝
