The editors liked
The sound is good. The sound is utterly fantastic. Sonos claims that Sub's amps and speakers are positioned “for deeper
Richer sound and zero cabinet buzz or rattle.” They're right. Adding Sub to a Play
3 speaker is like taking a cute and serviceable For
The Sonos Sub has a unique
Eye-catching design and its wireless function works from anywhere in a room (though it does have to be plugged in). It really augments the sound of your Play speakers and the setup is a breeze

Sounds fantastic
Goes way past 11
Dead simple to set up
And doubles as a borderline classy/cheesy piece of nouveau art furniture
Sub sounds like a winner
No? Sure
If you can afford it. Sub sells for $699
Which is a lot of cash for a subwoofer. Add
Its finish doesn't match any other Sonos components and the Sub doesn't work as well with the Connect
Amp. It's expensive and won't work outside of a Sonos system
Expensive
Large
Only works with Sonos speakers
Cannot be physically connected to a subwoofer output
May not be necessary with great speakers
Price when rated
$699
That's a lot of Simoleons. The tall
Squareshaped doughnut design can be too bulky for some rooms
Even laid flat
Bass a little too thumpy at times
No standard line inputs
I.e. only compatible with Sonos gear
Slightly expensive
Very expensiveCan't be used with non-Sonos gearDust magnet
Big sound, Flexible positioning, Interesting design
Pricey, Interesting design, Detracts from subless speakers?

Still the best user experience, Good service support,
Individual speakers can be trumped for sound, No hi-res support,
While we still hope that Sonos has a change of heart and adds hi-res support in the near future, we don't believe its absence is a deal-breaker.But if you do, you should look at what Bluesound offers. Those looking for a simpler, cheaper and better-soundi...

Great bass, Lovely design, Easy setup, Trueplay compatible, Excellent addition to a Sonos system
Big, Expensive, Will be too loud or too much for some
The Sonos Sub sounds great, offering plenty of bass, and if you are happy to turn the levels up, tooth-rattling amounts of noise.The big concern will be that your neighbours aren't going to enjoy your newfound love for sound, and it's something we would d...

Abstract: The big dog in the streaming Wi-Fi speaker business has barked and delivered a sub-woofer - called the Sub. In fact it launched it a year and a half ago, but we can only now write about this heavy boom-box, so to speak, because the damn thing costs the b...
Massive improvement to sound quality, Admirably cohesive soundstage, Looks fantastic, Can be positioned anywhere in the room, Very simple setup
It doesn't come cheap
There's no getting away from the fact that the Sonos Sub is an expensive piece of kit, but the difference it can make to the sound quality of your Sonos setup is astonishing. Is it worth the money? It depends on how important sound quality is to you. If,...
There’s no denying that the Sonos SUB is a great bit of kit. It looks amazing, is a piece of cake to set up and gives a marked improvement to the audio quality of an existing Sonos system. However, £599 is also undeniably expensive for a subwo...
A little expensive, not the very punchiest, in absolute terms
It's expensive compared with standard subs, but then it's built specifically for the Sonos system – itself not a cheap proposition. Ultimately the Sonos Sub simply sets out to add bass to a system probably built around the Play:3 or Play:5. And it does a...
