When you use this product without satellite speakers on any kind of surround content, it attempts to do something to surround channels that put create a fast echo effect, like a reverb algorithm from a 90s video game. It’s especially terrible with the sounds of water, background chatter, or audience applause and laughter. This issue is very common if you search around on forums, and sonos offers no solution to this day. I’m very unhappy after paying for a premium product that it sounds so distractingly bad. If I could get my TV to just output stereo I would. Don’t buy this product unless they fix it, they’ve left it broken since an update around 2 years ago.

I would call myself a picky customer about audio products, and this sound bar meets all my expectations!
Sound Quality: I’ve never heard better bass in any other soundbars. I would say it’s even more solid and powerful than those with subwoofers. The performance with gaming and movies is just perfect! Other frequencies are also beautiful.
Sound stage: please note that this soundbar is only 65cm wide, but the left/right channel contents are separated very clearly. In most cases, it requires a 1.5m+ soundbar or two speakers placed wide enough to have clear left/right content, otherwise the left/right sound might be mixed. Another fancy thing is that there is a wall to the left side of my soundbar, but I think Sonos uses some magic to tweak the speaker to adjust according to your home surroundings. I feel the sound is perfectly balanced.
Connections: I don’t use Apple, and it does NOT support Bluetooth, but I only use it with S/PDIF with my PC, so it doesn’t bother me.
Overall it’s the best soundbar I’ve heard so far.

First purchase of a modern soundbar. Goodbye speaker wire. Hello easy connection, great sound, and a perfect fit for my small apartment.

It’s a wonderful product by itself, paired with a sub-mini is absolute perfection. It’s a marvel of technology hands down. The Sonos app voice actor is Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad Kingpin) it was the ah-ha moment and well it integrated within my computer network for amazing playability. I like the Sonos Ai because it stores things locally unlike other services.
Well done Sonos! Add some rears and you have a top tier system.

Just got this bad boy today since it was on sale… I have been debating a decent soundbar for a little over 6 months, I did a ton of research but it’s been hard to bite the bullet…. Yeah, just bite it! I love this thing, and am honestly really surprised how good the sound is, it’s a lot better than our Samsung one. I want to get some speakers for some good surround sound. All in all the speaker by itself really puts out, and I think now I’m going to have to buy one for our bedroom and guest bedrooms.

Elevates the movie or tv watching experience with clear, high quality sound. Easy to set-up and connect to tv. Soundbar is controlled using remote or Sonos app. I gave this product 4 stars for two reasons. One, it is expensive for a soundbar. Quality is great, but there may be less expensive options out there. Two, the soundbar consistently loses connection with the Sonos app. Since the app is needed to play music, this makes it difficult to listen to and control the music you want to listen to. It is very frustrating.

I normally don’t write reviews unless the product goes way beyond expectations. This is one truly amazing sound bar. Easy to set up and crisp sound. The sound is a bit mind blowing in the fact it produces sounds that appear to be coming from different parts of the room. Movies such as Dune sound so good it’s like watching a different movie. Games such as Halo are mesmerizing but you have to do a little setup with your Xbox…no fault of Sonos. I do not recommend the bar if you are limited to only an optical cable. To get the full benefits of the bar I strongly recommend a TV with ARC / eARC. Great for smaller rooms and 55 inch and under TV. Bottom line this sound bar sounds better than many home theater systems.

Handsome styling and very easy setup via the Sonos phone app, especially if your gear supports HDMI ARC. Clear, vibrant sound quality but a little light on bass so if you really want the full range, add a Sonos subwoofer (which again, is remarkably simple to do via the Sonos app).

Overall I’m very happy with this sound bar.
Pros:
1. Easy set up
2. Clear sound
3. Balanced sound
4. Easy to use with Spotify
This sound bar sounds great, especially considering it’s just one piece. Setting it up was really easy. The sound is clear, balanced, and accurate. It also has a surround sound feel to it. It was easy to use with Spotify.
It doesn’t come with a separate subwoofer, so it doesn’t have window-rattling bass. But that’s ok with me. I live in an apartment and I didn’t want to be a jerk to my neighbors. The bass is still much more solid than anything you’d get from TV speakers.
Cons:
1. App has some room for improvement.
I’d say the app is adequate, but personally I found the user experience to be a bit clunky. For example, the Speech Enhancement function is unlabeled and in a separate location from most of the other settings, which I thought was strange.

I am a great fan of bass boosted soundbars with crystal clear quality and SONOS definitely delivers that experience! The addition of Dolby Atmos support is a nice touch for an immersive audio experience. Voice control and smart features enhance convenience, but the price might be a deciding factor for some.
