What We Loved (and What Made Us Meh)
The Sonos Sub shines in many areas:
- Superb low-frequency performance
- Stylish, unobtrusive design
- Easy to setup and integrate into existing Sonos system
- Excellent build quality
- Wireless operation means no messy cables
However, the Sonos Sub isn’t without its flaws:
- Pricey compared to other subwoofers
- Needs a Sonos System to function
- No physical inputs
- Weight makes it somewhat difficult to move
- Available only in black and white
The Sonos Sub (Gen 3) is a fantastic addition to your home audio system if you’re already invested in the Sonos ecosystem. This glossy monolith of bass brings an audio depth that you didn’t know you were missing until you hear it in action.
Setting up the sub is as easy as pie, and the seamless integration with other Sonos speakers is as smooth as a Sinatra ballad. The sub performs exceptionally well, delivering low frequencies that are tight, punchy and well-defined. It adds a richness and depth to music that leaves most other subwoofers in the dust.
Yet, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. The lack of physical inputs is a letdown, particularly if you want to use the sub with non-Sonos devices. And let’s not forget the price tag – it’s a hefty investment that could make your wallet weep.
Verdict
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆
It loses a star due to the hefty price tag and the lack of physical inputs.
Would we buy it?
If already in the Sonos ecosystem, certainly. Otherwise, the price tag might give us a pause.
Value for Money
It’s a bit on the expensive side, but for those who value premium sound and seamless integration with Sonos, it could be worth the investment.
