Sonos Sub (Gen 3) - The Wireless Subwoofer for Deep Bass - Black

Buono

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 😝

I have had this sub on my wish list ever since updating our home stereo system 1 1/2 years ago. We are admitted musicaholics, and our main listening room (our family room) has ultra high end components and speakers which we enjoy immensely. We have Sonos speakers or amplifiers in many of our other rooms to provide "very good" sound when we are doing things around the house versus simply sitting and listening (in our main listening spots). This sub-woofer made our sound in our living room (occasional listening spot) significantly fuller and more enjoyable. Good value for money and the set up is amazingly easy - it literally took me three minutes to have it set up and integrated into the room.

Es un excelente subwoofer para complementar tu sistema de sonido Sonos. Lo compré particularmente para complementar a mi barra de sonido (Beam) y la mejora ha sido bastante: la barra se escucha más nítida, más clara, identificas mejor los matices, y se libra de las frecuencias graves, ya que el subwoofer hace todo el trabajo. El subwoofer, sin el trueplay puede ser “bastante potente”, y mucho bajo; sin embargo cuando realizas la calibración, te lo ajusta de tal forma que sea una respuesta más definida y nítida (quizá a algunos les haga pensar que el subwoofer está apagado, sobre todo si es una sala grande; pero puedes ajustar el volumen y con eso compensas a tu gusto). El precio, es elevado, así que considero que deba ser comprado en una oferta, quizá si costara menos y fuese más accesible sería una compra sin dudarlo. En general, lo recomiendo. Pros: - Buena definición. - No distorsiona. - Excelente diseño. - No genera vibraciones (por su tecnología). Contras: - Es caro. Gracias por leer la reseña.

This gave the Arc sound bar a great boost. The sound is crazy nice. It was super easy to set up. Just open the Sonos app and it’ll come up and just follow the prompts for set up. The style is slick and beautifully glossy. I placed it between my sofas and it’s so crystal clear and it gives it that nice boost. The size is perfect. Not too big and not too small. Just right. You can adjust the bass in the app to your liking. You definitely need this subwoofer for your Arc soundbar.
