Sonos Sub - The Wireless Subwoofer for Deep Bass - Black

• When I had just purchased a home, I was looking into having it wired for whole-house audio. Looking into multi-room systems on Amazon, it was apparent to me that it wouldn\'t be cheap: cost of the speakers, controllers, PLUS cost of running wires throughout the house. When I saw the SONOS PLAY:1 promotions, I found its wireless solution to be more cost effective, and with better speakers to boot. I have since tried the SONOS ONE speakers that were realized in late 2017. In 2019, the Sonos ONE (Gen 2) was released, which currently offers no significant advantages over its predecessor except for 2 areas: faster processor (for future expansion) and Bluetooth LE (for speaker setup via Bluetooth at this time). I have then tried out the Sonos SUB as part of a Playbar + 2x PLAY:1 combination.Below are the pros and cons that led me to decide for the Sonos system.NOTE 1: the PLAY:1 is the same as the ONE without voice and touch integration. As such, the PLAY:1 is less expensive.NOTE 2: the ONE (Gen 2) is virtually the same as the ONE (Gen 1) except for a faster processor and Bluetooth LE included. This makes it slightly more future proof.PROS- Hi-Fi. Speakers sound better than the multi-room, wired systems I looked at for less than $500.- Resale Value. Wired speakers don\'t add much resale value to your house. So, why spend $1000s, only to leave the audio system behind when you sell the property or move? With wireless, I could take my expensive speakers with me to my new home.- Freedom to move around.With wireless, you are free to take the speakers anywhere you want throughout the whole house. For neighborhood block parties, I could even hook up the speakers to an extension cord out to the street, and stream music from my home. Or take it outside to your backyard. They are moisture-proof, but I wouldn\'t use them as permanent outdoor speakers unless you enclose them in protective casings.NOTE on wireless: each SONOS component is its own wireless client and repeater. Sonos wireless is a private, wireless \"mesh\" system, separate from your home WiFi. What does that mean to you? It routes music through its own wireless, leaving your home WiFi untouched. There\'s an additional benefit for that, as I\'ll explain after the installation note below. Most of the Sonos components (PLAY:1 and ONE are NOT one of them) have 2 network ports. This means, you can plug in the component into the network jack, and use the 2nd one on the speaker to connect your laptop. The SUB only has 1 network jack.INSTALLATION: First, the tech talk. You originally needed 1 Sonos component to be plugged in to your home network (any of the PLAY speakers, Soundbar, Bridge, SUB, etc.) However, that is no longer the case today as you can now connect ALL of them directly to WiFi. Having one of the components connected turns it into a wireless access point (or as consumers tend to call it, a \"Wifi router\".) All other Sonos components will now be able to wirelessly talk to that device. No other Sonos component has to be plugged in, as long as it\'s within wireless range of the plugged-in one. Should a component in your house be too far away (say, your garage) from the other Sonos devices, you can connect it to your network via cable, if available, or set up a Sonos BRIDGE (or any other Sonos speaker) wirelessly somewhere between the nearest speaker and the Garage one. The BRIDGE or other speaker strengthens the wireless from the nearest one, and extends the range to the one in the Garage. Each Sonos component is both a wireless client, and a wireless access point/repeater. Each component talks to each other in a mesh network. Think of a spider net. Any part that is touched vibrates to the rest of the net.Tech-talk aside, think about this: One person (Person 1) is at a corner of the house. When he shouts, the person in the garage (Person 2) can\'t hear Person 1. The only way Person 1 can talk to 2, is to pick up the phone (talking over a wired connection, or plugging a distant Sonos component to the wired network) or having Person 3 stand between them (having a Sonos component physically be between both speakers) and relaying the information back and forth (what WiFi mesh would do). So, with each Sonos component/speaker, the Sonos wireless range gets extended.With the Sonos wireless mesh, you could humorously place a few speakers into each house in the neighborhood, and suddenly play the same music through each home. Try that with Bluetooth speakers. You wouldn\'t be able to.WiFi mesh TIP: if you have an Android device, you can Google \"Android devices on SonosNet\", and you will see instructions on how to use your Sonos wireless network (\"SonosNet\") to connect your Android phone/tablet. This allows you to use your mobile device further away from your home WiFi. This has disadvantages and advantages out of the scope of this review. I decided not to use SonosNet for my tablets.- Ease of Pairing. To pair other Sonos components (or with the Sonos Controller App), simply hit the Play/Volume Up button on the speaker, and the same combination on the other speakers. If pairing with the BRIDGE, hit the pair button on that component.- LED. The Bright LED can be configured to turn on/off via the Sonos app.- Ease of music sync.You can use the free Sonos app for your Android, iOS (iPhone/iPad/iPod), Windows Phone, Mac/Windows laptop/tablet (sadly, no Windows Store app yet) to control how the speakers play: you can easily choose which speakers to pair/unpair into groups. Grouping the speakers allows you to play the same music on those speakers. You can have up to 32 separate groups. You can also individually control each speaker from the app. Each group\'s volume is controlled by the Sonos app. So, if Speaker 1 is set to 50% volume, and Speaker 2 is set to 25%, lowering the volume by 5% will lower Speaker 1 to 45%, and 2 to 20%.Once music is playing, you can leave the house, and it will continue to play -- as long as the music source is not coming from that mobile device (meaning: if you\'re playing MP3s from your phone, and your phone leaves, it will stop playing. But if you started Pandora from your phone, or you told the speaker to play music off one of your network shares, it will continue playing since the source is coming from a device that\'s still at home.)PARTIES: one cool feature is that once you download the Sonos Controller app and pair it to one of the Sonos speakers (which authorizes the app/phone to talk to your Sonos system -- this prevents unauthorized people outside your home from controlling your speakers), each device can control the playlist. So, if you have guests coming over, and each guest downloads and authorizes the Sonos app to your system, each guest can now add/remove songs from the queue. Everybody can now be a DJ.- Pairing of the SUB to other speakers.First, you can take two ONE (or two PLAY:1) speakers and set them up as Left & Right channels for stereo output. WARNING: you cannot pair ONE and the older PLAY:1 for stereo. You either have to use two PLAY:1 or two ONE.Second, you can add a Sonos Playbar or Playbase to that stereo pair for a 3.1 audio system. And finally, add the SUB to create a complete, 5.1 surround system. All components were extremely easy to pair with the Sonos App.- Expandability.Sonos did a smart thing. They released the less expensive PLAY:1/ONE to wet your/my appetite. As you use the system, you will likely buy more Sonos components to expand your sound system, resulting in more revenue for the company. You can add any Sonos component to your system, and they will all work in harmony. You can set up a complete home theater system that way too. I know, sounds pricey. It is. But it still is cheaper than having your whole house wired with nice speakers.- Alarm/Sleep timer.You can set up each speaker (or Group of speakers) to play music at a specific time, day, and volume (Alarm) from a specific source for a specified amount of time. Or you can also set a Sleep timer to play music for a specific number of minutes to ease you into sleep. I love getting waken up by mellow music (ie. Norah Jones) in the morning, and when I leave the home, I don\'t have to worry about turning off the speakers. It\'ll automatically turn off after the 45 minutes I set up for the alarm.- Sound. Sound quality is quite good. I will leave you with the reviews by others to read more about that. With the Sonos app, you can control Bass, Treble, and volume. I have the speakers play between 15% to 25% volume in each room -- they are plenty loud enough. Setting them to 100% can be heard through the whole house -- and the potential for your neighbors to complain. Even at low volume, the sound is very good. It\'s definitely better than most Bluetooth speakers. If you put the ONE in the corner of a room, the sound seems a bit more muffled due to the amplification of the Bass by the walls on both ends. You can fix this by adding more Treble, or by moving the speaker away from the corner. The SUB itself can have its bass level individually adjusted once paired in a 3.1 or 5.1 system.- Design. The SUB, ONE, and Playbase are beautiful devices. They don\'t look out-of-place in my home. I bought the Black ones.CONSI couldn\'t find many cons with the SUB, but here are some that have annoyed me.- Cost. The Sonos system is expensive. Just look at the price of the other components. Holy moly. Still, if you were to wire your house with Bose speakers, the Sonos system is comparatively inexpensive. Again, I chose Sonos because wiring the house won\'t add much resale value. I like the idea of being able to take my Sonos with me to my new home.- Weight. The SUB is heavy!- Sonos App Interface. The app is clunky and looks outdated. It took me a while to figure out where to go to do what (and I love gadgets/toys. I\'m a technology tinkerer!). It\'s not very user friendly.- Music sources. Not all apps can play to the Sonos speakers. You have to use the Sonos App, add the approved source to it, then you can play from that source. I wish you could re-route any audio from any device to the speakers. Pandora, network shares (NAS), iTunes, TuneIt Radio (built-in), iPod/iPad/iPhone, media files on your own Android/Windows device are all possible sources. At one point (if I remember correctly), my not-so-tech-savvy dad was able to beam his iPad\'s YouTube sound to the speakers without using the Sonos App. I didn\'t get a chance to verify how he did it, but I did see the ONE being available as a target on his iPad. Perhaps it was playing via the DLNA protocol. Either way, that was neat.Overall, I\'m quite pleased with the purchase. It came out cheaper than wiring the house, and I get to control my music from any of the mobile devices. That\'s neat. Lower the prices of your other components, Sonos! I hope for increased competition in the market to drive the prices down -- as of today, I\'m not aware of any good, alternate, wireless HiFi solution.
• The sound.
• Me gusto todo del producto de Sonnos, Su diseño, su funcionalidad, y tambien su sonido, justo lo que buscaba.
• I would give it zero stars on ease to use if I could. The system is near impossible to use with more than one speaker. Absolutely impossible to use the app and make everything work. I wouldn’t buy this equipment for my worst enemy. Almost impossible to integrate multiple speakers without the system crashing. In the event even an authorized user takes control of the Sonos app....... Get ready...... It will usually knock all your speakers off of your account or calls you to perform a complete system reboot and Install. I have about eight Sonos speakers so that typically takes about six hours to reprogram every time. Typically they will try and make changes to get the system to work which generally causes it to completely crash and become useless. The Sonos system has plagued so bad with bugs that every time we power it up there is usually some sort of update that causes the system to malfunction. Be prepared to spend at least 10% of your time updatingyour system. That brings a whole other set of complications. Every time an update takes place the system tends to get more confused which products are yours and typically will not work again. It’s not a problem as long as you don\'t mind Wasting your Saturday or paying a technician to come out and get your system back up and running. So called state of the art technology? If you lose WiFi service The Sonos system will not work! It doesn’t even have Bluetooth. I’ve seen people with tennis shoes that have Bluetooth connectivity. I have about $3000 invested in my Sonos system and my children have smarter tennis shoes. I would say this is the last option I would choose in buying a speaker system, unless I was a computer programmer for Sonos, they gave me the equipment for free, and paid me to work on it. The system is extremely unreliable and we spend more time trying to get it to play music then actually listening to it And I would consider myself extremely tech savvy. I have hired 4 different home theater technicians to service the system. All have been able to temporarily get the system working yet it fails within a week and reverts back to not being able to find the components or wanting you to switch from the S1 or S2 controller. Every home theater technician or home audio professional has told me I need to trash the system and buy some thing else If I want to just relax and listen to music. Nobody wants to work on it. If your Wi-Fi goes down you will be listening to whatever nature provides because Sonos will not work without a constant Wi-Fi service. It’s 2021 and this astuff does not have Bluetooth or any other way to connect except depending on an Internet service provider. I have yet to meet anybody that has not had their Internet service provider go down from time to time. With almost every other speaker product you just turn on your Bluetooth and reconnect. Not Sonos. I still don’t understand what genius thought that was a good idea. Your very exspenive speakers become boat anchors without a good Internet signal. Can somebody explain to me how adding Bluetooth to a Sonos system would’ve hurt it in anyway? If you don’t wanna use it you don’t have to but not having it gives you no option. Not to mention the speaker quality is about $.50 on the dollar. The system distorts if you turn it up within 20% of max volume even while making every available adjustment to the equalizer, bass, treble, ECT. Long story short, if you don’t work for Sonos and they don’t give the equipment for free and pay you to keep it working I would spend my money on anything else. Search Google you will find all this out. Although Sonos does an extremely good job of manipulating reviews And squashing any legitimate feedback that might expose their inferior product. You can forget trying to call customer service. They have less than understanding of the system than my 10 year old does. They are obviously reading notes from a three ring binder ane have no experience with the system.
• I didn’t know I was missing half of the sound of my music until I got this subwoofer for my husbands birthday.It is such an incredible thing!! We are enjoying our music so much more.It literally fills in all of the lower notes.Truly worth every penny.
