The Sonos Playbar integrates the company's best-in-class digital music software into a thoughtfully designed sound bar. It's dead simple to set up and works seamlessly with other Sonos products
And can even be expanded to a true wireless 5.1 system by ad
Smooth overall sound quality. Surprisingly effective low-end response given the lack of a subwoofer. Flexible wireless streaming. Doesn't distort on deep bass at high volumes.

A Bluray of Skyfall
Uncharted 3 on a PS3

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
