Excellent product that's *almost* worth what Sonos asks for it, but where else ya gonna go?
The Sonos Sub is a very well designed and has excellent performance in combination with the Sonos One speaker. Don't let anyone tell you that it doesn't help that much and that the bass from any Sonos speakers is adequate. This speaker supplies the fundamental bottom octave of any musical source and is absolutely required in home theater applications. You will not so much be able to hear that bass, but you will *feel* it. I can't speak for the soundbars or the Play 3 because I only own the Ones, but I know audio and I know that the soundbars and the Play 3 cannot play fundamentals below 50Hz. Without that, you have to imagine special effects in movies and real bass in music. With the Sub, you can actually feel those effects and the depth of orchestras - much less jazz and rock. You don't have to imagine anything. I measured the Sub and it does play down into the 20Hz range solidly. I was quite surprised in that respect.
Still, the value is a problem. $699 from Sonos direct it a LOT of scratch when better subs cost $400-500. BUT, TruePlay and the Sonos integration system balance the equation. Another subwoofer and the Sonos Connect (not to mention having to configure the subwoofer) to make it all work would bring the price above what Sonos is charging for the Sub alone - and Sonos knows that. Hence, they can get away with charging whatever the market will bear. The Sub, in my book, is worth $500 and nowhere near $700. But, Sonos can get away with it.
And that's why I got mine on eBay for $75 less (with no tax or shipping) than retail... :)

Lacks versatility, too tall
Sound level varies wildly between sources of audio. Does not facilitate clarity of dialogue very well. Several inches tall obscuring lower part of TV picture. It seems best suited for loud, action packed explosions, gunfire, car chases, etc. Not a very good purchase. Read full review...

Makes my soundbar come to life and music sound awesome.
Fantastic addition to my Sonos Sound Bar. Very nice looking speaker that produces fantastic bass even at low volumes. Setup is very fast and easy via the Sonos app. Up and running in under 5 minutes. My sub is placed behind some furniture and it produces room filling bass. Very happy with my purchase.Read full review...

Feel the bass!
I am already a huge fan of Sonos products. They connect seamlessly and sound awesome! This subwoofer creates a truly dynamic sound in my family room. I have it paired to a Sonos Amp that play through ceiling speakers. What a great sound!Read full review...

Pricey but worth it
If you have the Sonos Beam using as a sound bar you think it has good bass and you don't need anything else. Wrong it is the ultimate addition that you will not regret as it really improves the listening pleasure of the system. Sonos is simple to hook up and works like Apple products. It just worksRead full review...

Excellent Sub
Great deep sound! Not as easy to set up with the Sonos sound bar and one speakers it is made out to be. Once paired with everything the home theater sound is amazing! Nice deep bass to this speaker!

Good quality but pricey for what it does
First off - I love this speaker and the Sonos system in general. Sound quality is towards the top end for wireless speakers and it really adds a great punch to my existing Sonos system. My only concern is that the cost is big for what it does relative to other Sonos products. I understand the pricing of the rest of their line-up but you could get a comparable quality subwoofer for much less (that you wouldn't be able to use with the Sonos system of course) that would add the same impact to the system.
That said, it does have clarity and works as advertised - especially with the 5.1 theater set-up. Overall I am happy with the product and would recommend buying refurbished/open box/on sale to maximize the value.Read full review...

Sonos sub Gen 3 and Arc Review.
I feel that after connecting to my Arc, the voices became clearer and easier to hear. However, if I amy watching my cable tv and it seems that PCM is the default setting and I do not hear "much" base from the broadcast. If I use Netflix and get 5.1 sound, I definitely can hear bass. I do not have "surround speakers" at this time and my 2015 LG Oled does not support Atmos, so I am missing all of the "sounds" that Atmos provides. I also do not have eARC. I bought this soundbar for the future as I will be upgrading my TV and surround speakers. When I bought this bar, my priority was the "voice track" or center channel MUST produce "legible" and "clear voice audio. Sonos Arc, with Sub Woofer, Gen 3 has provided me with this. It also is very "well made" and looks stylish. I am very happy with my purchase.Read full review...

True hifi
Hifi as advertised, replaced a different set that were not quite hifi. The bass is pretty good sized, necessarily so I think to produce the bass that it does, in combination with the satellites you have a true hifi system, which is not easy on wireless. The only listenable wireless system I've had to date.Read full review...

A must to add to your theater experience!
This Sonos Subwoofer is a must to get that rich base sound that fill the room along with the low frequencies. It's a great addition to the Sonos Soundbar to help the viewer feel more immersed into the scene, and that vibration that helps you feel the moment. If this system is too expensive, first get the soundbar, then the sub woofer, followed by your surround speakers. Although great by itself, the sub woofer really makes a difference. Especially watching movies. Read full review...
