Pros & Cons

Pros

You know you're handling solid hardware when you pick these things up. The sound is awesome, after making that configuration change, it's been great. Add the sub to create a complete, 5.

It sounds everybit as good as the bose. It has a pretty elaborate setup process to shape the sound to your tastes. If you were to wire your house with bose speakers, the sonos system is comparatively inexpensive.

Sonos play:1 has a built-in subwoofer and a surround sound system. The optical audio from your tv to the playbar works just as well. The playbar, sub, one, and playbase are beautiful devices.

Sonos wireless is a private, wireless mesh system, separate from your home wifi. Each sonos component is both a wireless client, and a wireless access point/repeater. The media pc is connected to its local router so the path from the pc to the local r...  Read More

Bright led can be configured to turn on/off via the sonos app. Alarm/sleep timer can be controlled via the app. App takes you through tuning the system, which is pretty straightforward.



Cons

The sonos playbar is an inferior product for an av system. Low frequency sound is non existent because you have to buy a $600 subwoofer to pair with it. I am an audiophile and this is not an audiophile grade speaker.

The sonos tech reset my wifi access point and nothing worked after that. Why is the warranty only for 1-year, when there are no moving parts?

This system is garbage. It’s absolutely pathetic. Very disappointed. Totally bait and switch. I almost never return things, but this one is such a disappointment.

The sound quality is meh, and worse with voice enhancement. The audio is all over the place - wildly loud at random times, completely muffled on audio at other times.

Save yourself the utter guilt of overpaying for a sound bar that doesn’t sound any better than something that’s half the price" there will be a $1.

Highlights

Quality


Great sound quality paired with sub and rear speakers


I was a little reluctant because it is expensive but the sonos app works great and it gives great quality audio


I did not receive the mounting bracket which was a bummer but still love the product


Not sure why users are having problems with the playbar being quiet then really loud

Packaging/appearance


You have to turn on the soundbar again


The pc is located in a separate building 100 ft from the playbar


I finally ran an enet cable from the house router to the playbar to solve the playback issues

Competitiveness


Which makes sense for a soundbar designed for a tv


Got one refurbished to use as a game pc soundbar under my monitor


But makes no sense at all for a soundbar billed as usable for gaming and pcs


Measure your soundbar holes distance then throw a level on your measured lines

    Had some challenges with alexa staying connected and had to reset system

    My only greviance is that if you have a smart remote without a ir your only method of volume control is the sonos app or asking alexa to do it

    Very convenient and has really good sound quality and bass but controls are garbage
