The editors didn't like

  • It doesn't have any other connectivity other than Wi-Fi
  • Expensive
  • Single optical input
  • No DTS decoding
  • Limited by TVs in getting discrete 5.1 sound
  • Needs mo bass
  • Gets a bit congested at high volumes
  • Could use a second fiberoptic input and DTS support
  • Limited by TV's ability to pass through 5.1 surround
  • A little pricey
  • The Playbar's heavily processed sound won't please purists. It's also expensive and there are considerably better-sounding alternatives in its price range. Many buyers would be fine with cheaper AirPlay or Bluetooth alternatives
  • Requires wired Ethernet unless you already have a Sonos Bridge. No hardware remote control. Highly processed sound isn't for purists
  • Expensiv
  • No Bluetooth connectivity
  • No 3.5mm input
  • Apps feel clunky
  • Over-reliant on optical audio
  • Not ideal for music listening
  • Lacks a dedicated remote. Like all Sonos gear
  • It's priced to make you cry. Not much bass
  • Unless you add the company's 0 subwoofer (more tears). Requires an Ethernet connection or Sonos Bridge
  • Pricier than the competition – even pricier with a subwoofer
  • Single input woefully limits flexibility
  • In large rooms (18 ft distance from TV to viewer) the stereo field felt a bit narrow
  • Making us wish for a "wide mode" option
  • Initial setup of the Sonos App can be finicky
  • Mobile app needs a better UI
  • Only compatible with Dolby Digital (not DTS
  • Etc)
  • Pricey ($699)
  • Not ideal for audiophiles

  • Abstract:  Det finnes nesten ikke en eneste TV på markedet som har god nok lyd til å by på den store filmopplevelsen. Skjermene er rett og slett blitt så tynne og flate at det er dårlig med plass til høyttalere. I alle fall om du skal ha kraftige saker.Heldigvis fin...

  • Sonos har superenkelt oppsett, og lyden er fortsatt i toppsjiktet. Et meget bra system, som ikke vil gå av moten med det første
  • HDMI-innganger mangler, det samme gjør støtte for DTS-lyd
  • Ser vi bort fra den glimrende brukervennligheten og strømmemulighetene til Sonos, er oppsettet forbasket godt til både film og musikk. Lyden er naturlig, både ved lavt og ganske høyt lydnivå. Subwooferen gir film- og musikkopplevelsen et taktfullt fundame...

  • Sonos har markedets enkleste oppsett for et multiromssystem, som selv en idiot klarer å sette opp. Lyden er bedre enn noe annet lignende system, dette er rett og slett enveiskjøring
  • DTS surroundlyd støttes ikke. Anlegget er dessuten mye dyrere enn de andre, hvis du tar med subwooferen (den gode nyheten er at det trenger du strengt tatt ikke)
  • Tar man med subwooferen er Sonos vesentlig dyrere enn de andre anleggene. Men fjern den, og prisen blir i samme klasse. Og likevel er Sonos bedre enn de fleste av dem. Lyden er mer naturlig, både ved lavt og høyt lydnivå. Vi anbefaler subwooferen, da den...

  • Abstract:  Etter å ha testet flerromsanlegg fra Samsung , Denon og Philips var det på tide å se nærmere på markedslederen Sonos. For kan de fortsatt konkurrere, eller har de andre tatt dem igjen når det gjelder pris, funksjoner og brukervennlighet? For å gi deg sva...

  • Playbar er allerede blitt en så stor suksess at restordrene er lange som et vondt år. Det skjønner vi godt etter å ha prøvd enheten. Den spiller overraskende godt, og den tar med seg alle de andre fordelene med Sonos. Denne saken er levert av lyd-, bilde...

  • Fantastisk fleksibilitet, Enkel å bruke
  • Noe tam musikkgjengivelse uten sub
  • Sonos Playbar er et ypperlig supplement til en moderne TV, og du får en lyd som også er bildesiden verdig. Det er et utsøkt fleksibelt og brukervennlig apparat hvis ”svakeste punkt” er ren musikkavspilling, men hvor det likevel får fullt ut godkjent med ...
