I love the bass !

It is clear and crisp but also has good bass to it

Great speaker, lacking bass

The sound is full and clear with excellent bass for its size.

It delivers full sound at all ranges - not just overpowering bass (although the bass is quite good.

I'm a little disappointed in the sound, hence the four stars instead of five, because its bass is a little weak.

The bass is clear and crisp.

Amazing bass from the Play 1's, even without a sub woofer.

The play 1 has surprising good sound/bass for such a small speaker

Good bass though.

Deep sound, good bass response; generally very impressive for a speaker of its size

It is a very balanced speaker across the sound spectrum with nice bass through crisp highs.

The bass is amazing and the sound is clear and loud

Terrible sound and bass is popping(tried 4 different speakers)

but it’s not advertised or reviewed as having great bass

The only reason I did not give it a 5 star is due to the slightly weak bass.

Its so much clearer and the bass that this little speaker produces is crazy

Bass is weak, but that is what I would have expected.

At both low and high volumes the quality of the music is great and for anyone who is wondering this speaker for its size handles bass very well, even at lower volumes you can really feel it and the Sonos delivers it to you without distortion

The clarity of each note and the solid bass makes me feel every note

Sound wise this small speaker delivers clear vocals, strong midrange clarity and deep bass.

Good, deep bass and crisp highs

The bass is responsive and the other aspects are crisp and clean

It's very loud for its size with impressive bass.

so a subwoofer would be overkill and the Playbase provides adequate bass for this medium size room application.

Even in a standalone wide open space, it belies its small form factor with crisp high notes, clear middle range, and sufficient bass.

I love clean bass.

For their size the bass is fantastic, the music is room filling, like a Bose wave radio, and the small drivers pack a thump

Amazing bass for this little peanut of a speaker

It fills any small-to-medium-sized room with ease and has surprisingly solid bass.

Not totally great, but for its size it gets comfortably loud with very good bass from such a small unit

Handles volume very well, has great clarity at the upper-mid range and high ends, and the bass is quite good for such a small speaker

Great speaker, lacking bass

I was more than happy after hearing it for the first time, as the bass was amazing

Love the speaker, great sound (clarity & bass), and easy to setup

More than adequate bass and a very good midrange and tweeter

Lacks some bass but overall very pleased.

Great sound, clear bass.

It's worth the extra money for the PLAY:3 to get the superior bass.

Now, I love Bass.

They handle bass really well

The great bass gets amplified even more if you place it in a corner or on top of a piece of furniture like a bookshelf

Good bass.

Works with Alexa Needs a bit more deep bass at higher volumes but sounds very clear.

It is crisp, the bass shakes you, it's the best sound I've ever heard coming out of anything

The sound is sooooooo good, great bass, and it's small and compact

The sub has enough bass to literally wrattle stuff off the shelves

I've bought enough B products, I'm glad I took a chance and went elsewhere

If you are sitting at your computer fooling around online and your favorite song just doesn't sound quite as crisp as you would like it to, or if you have a $200 budget to fill 1 room in your house with sound, keep looking, your speaker is out there somewhere ;-)I hope this helps, Cheers!

Although Sonos advertising their product works with Alexsa, Alexsa does not want to work with Sonos as of today December 2017

In short, if you’re willing to put in the time regularly to get this system working as it’s supposed to, are okay with very few customization options and don’t need to share the system with anyone else in your household, you may be perfectly happy using Sonos

These little Play 1’s pack a punch with high quality sound and simple setup.

Since then my speakers (1 play 5, 2 play 3’s, and 4 play 1’s) have been hit and miss
