Deep, powerful bass
The whole point behind a subwoofer is to provide deep and sustained bass. The Sonos SUB doesn’t disappoint. Using twin, force-cancelling drivers with separate Class D amplifiers, the Sonos SUB provides a bass that is not only deep enough to rattle the china, but also punchy, agile and dynamic. In short, the bass sounds exactly as it should – fast and deep with zero cabinet buzz or rattle, even for the bassiest of tracks.
Made for your Sonos system
As you’d expect from Sonos, the Sonos SUB is a breeze to set up. With no wiring or programming required, simply press one button and follow the prompts from the Sonos system controller. It automatically adjusts the audio settings to ensure that the SUB is fully optimised to work with your paired Sonos components. The SUB works with the PLAY:1, PLAY:3 and PLAY:5 plus all amplified Sonos units including the CONNECT:AMP, ZP120, ZP100 and, of course, the Sonos PLAYBAR.
Elegant design
Elegantly designed and finished in a deep gloss black, the Sonos SUB is not like other subs – it actually looks attractive! The gloss black finish is also the ideal match for most TVs and other hi-fi or home cinema equipment you may have. Sonos has even considered those really pushed for space as the SUB also functions horizontally as well as vertically, making it easy to place under a chair or sofa.

was happy, more than happy with my Play 5 in the living room. I went to buy another Play 5 for the kitchen and they demoed the Sub. I ended up with both another Play 5 and the Sub and an uneasy feeling I’d spent too much . I was annoyed because I swore I’d never spend that much on the sub.
A few hours of listening and I can say I have no regrets. The Sub is subtle. It’s not a boom box. It fills out the bottom frequencies linearly. You get bass that is warm and sweet. Even at low volumes the sub is doing a great job of filling things out. Trouble is, non sub rooms now sound terribly thin.
One thing to note if you have young kids or cats is the speakers are not grilled so placement to avoid curiosity leading to damage is something to consider.
It’s a lot of money, but I think it’s a worthwhile investment to take a system to an altogether new level.

Having gradually updated my HiFi which started with a Play 5 for the kitchen and then included the Sonos pre-amp to run my very large Tannoy D700’s in the lounge. I then decided I wanted more sound in the kitchen and went for the Sonos amp to run B&W M1’s plus a Cambridge Audio sub. I then got a call from my local HiFi shop to inform me that I should come and listen to the new Sonos Sub. Always bad news as it usually costs a lot of money!
So went and had a look and listen and was blown away. Needles to say I have now replaced the kitchen set-up with 2 x Play 3’s and the Sub (which at the moment is sitting on the worktop (and looks great). This set-up is much, much, much better than the B&W/Sonos/Cambridge Audio as it is all designed to work together with less wires and more flexibility. The sound quality as superb playing anything at any level and can go very, very loud indeed. The sub does not distort, but everything in the kitchen rattles.
If comparing to my Tannoy D700’s, the Sonos is nearly as good. The Tannoys deliver a warmer richer sound whilst the Sonos set-up is more crisp and clean. I am sorely tempted to now go for 2 x Play 5’s and a Sonos Sub to replace the Tannoy set-up but it’s a tough one.
Money wise, it will cost around £1,100 for the 2 x Play 3’s and Sub. Expensive yes, but it is a full music centre and you can start with 1 x Play 3, add another when the budget is there (and make them into a stereo pair) and then finally add the Sub to give the extra oomph. Yes, it is little pricey at £600 but beautifully made/looks great and works really well. In addition, you can tune it to the environment in which you are sighting it and change the base level to suit your own taste. Lastly unlike some other subs, it isn’t just boom, boom, boom. It does an excellent job of playing musically (if you know what I mean!)

Wow, I’ve just seen this product in a local shop, it’s absolutely an amazing product, it sounds so deep and rich. Unfortunately it’s just a little out of my price range. I have no real why Sonos charge such a premium for their sub, yes granted it’s well built and it has great sound quality however it is just a little too pricy.
