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

  • Sonos har supernem opsætning, og lyden er stadig i top. Et rigtig godt system, der ikke går af mode lige med det første
  • HDMI-indgange mangler. Det samme gør understøttelse af DTS-lyd
  • Ser vi bort fra Sonos' glimrende brugervenlighed og streaming-muligheder, er dette setup pokkers godt til både film og musik. Lyden er naturlig, både ved lav og ganske høj volumen. Subwooferen giver film- og musikoplevelserne et taktfast fundament, og...

  • Abstract:  En soundbar er en aflang højttaler, der næsten ikke ses, idet den ligger eller hænger under tv'et. En enkelt højttaler erstatter hele det gamle surround-system. Eller rettere, ikke helt. For mens de bedste af dem leverer ret god lyd og endda kan bruges ti...

  • Abstract:  At finde den rigtige højtalerløsning til hjemmet er utrolig svært. Ikke bare er der et hav af prisklasser at navigere igennem, der er også tonsvis af dygtige, respekterede producenter, der alle står klar med den ene lækre, designerhøjtaler efter den anden...

  • Abstract:  Sonos Playbar adskiller sig på mange måder fra konkurrenterne, da den er konstrueret, så den også kan fungere som en del af et større Sonos-baseret multirums-lydsystem. På det punkt er Sonos-løsningen genial, for du kan løbende blot tilføje en ny enhed, s...

  • Tager man subwooferen med, er Sonos væsentlig dyrere end de andre anlæg. Men fjern den, og prisen er på samme niveau. Og alligevel er Sonos bedre end de fleste af konkurrenterne. Lyden er mere naturlig, både ved lav og høj volumen.Vi anbefaler sub...

  • Abstract:  Vi har fået fingrene i den Sonos' bud på et løft i lydkvalitet til dit TV, nemlig deres Playbar, der - som navnet antyder - er en soundbar. Playbar er Sonos' første dedikerede forsøg på at parre deres velkendte trådløse musikdistributionssystem med TV-ver...

  • Abstract:  For mange ligger Sonos' højtalere lidt over, hvad der kan siges at være behageligt, når det kommer til prisen.Men efter at have tilbragt et par uger med to at selskabets billigste højtalere, Play:1 og lydboksen Playbar, der kom tidligere i år, kan vi tyde...

  Published: 2013-06-29, review by: komputer.dk

  • Abstract:  Sonos er et lydsystem med trådløse enheder, der alene eller kombineret kan spille din musik fra computerens harddisk og gør det let fx at høre samme musiknummer, selv om man går fra rum til rum. Det kan Sonos' nye såkaldte soundbar også. Og så lidt mere....
