When turned up this speaker can really make some noise and put out crisp loud bass

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

Great bass for a small speaker.

There's an impressive bass response out of this unit

The 1 seems like it puts out more bass which is ridiculous.4

Not a muddy/sloppy bass, still keeps the music somewhat crisp

The sound quality is excellent from both models with better bass from the Play 5s but no complaint on the bass from Play 3s

Bass is adjustable with the app which I love because I like strong bass

The Play:3 sounds much better than the Big Jambox my wife has, with deeper more extended bass and crisper mids and highs

Play 3 is decent, but lacks some bass and fullness.

We listen to a variety of music, including some that requires good bass response (like reggae, dance music, and many pop tunes)

If the unit is on a "box" type stand like a night stand or other wood cabinet, the bass is much more enhanced.

The sound is superb, but the bass is a bit heavy (easily remedied, as to not tick off the folks in my building).The app works great, which really surprised me

The bass is nice and not too boomy

Sound quality is very good, bass is well handled, clear.

This product does have great sound quality, it's extremely loud and pretty clear, deep bass is kind of lacking.

Amazing the bass and crystal clear highs

The bass is clear, the treble is nice and the mids are all very audible for music

My advice save the $100 or spend the extra $100, but skip the Play 3 if you like some bass.

As expected for a unit of this size the bass was a little lacking and faded out the further you got from the unit but the rest of the range was bright and clear

when in mono on a single speaker, all of the instruments get muddled together and if there's strong bass, I guess it messes with the other frequencies coming from the same speaker

Bass is tight and all the ranges clear and crisp

Yeah, there's more bass, but it's not a good, tight bass, and less of it sounds better.

Not a muddy/sloppy bass, still keeps the music somewhat crisp

I would imagine a single Play:5 although loud and nicer bass, would still be kind of directional.

I also like the bass and treble control on my phone

More solid bass on Play 1

When turned up this speaker can really make some noise and put out crisp loud bass

Bass is weak until you really turn it up

The bass is terrific for such a small item.

The bass literally shakes the whole house when the sub and towers are rockin' (I've gotten the sub down to 17Hz

The Play 5 blew me away - it provides great room filling music with great bass response

Much, much louder than I ever thought and with a nice bass sound to go along with it

The Play 3 doesn't offer an incredible booming low-end and bass, but honestly, the low end and bass it does offer is still better than 99% of the speakers you've ever owned in your home

The bass is excellent for speakers this size

The Sonos Play 3 is an excellent speaker and is loud with Impressive bass for a

Harsh tones that highlighted the weaknesses of digitized music files, very poor bass response, uneven frequency response, and some weird volume fading problems that have been mentioned in the online support forums

But, the Play 1 is good for a small area and has a better bass response than the Play 3

A few pros and cons starting with the Pros:-This speaker has very rich sound and very good bass

This includes the bass and treble, balance, as well as 'Loudness'Cons:-Colors: I'm into aesthetics and I think the white one is just horribly ugly

I returned this speaker as fast as I could

My advice: buyer beware-as always

We can both control the speaker to work with a variety of phone apps such as Audible and Spotify as well as with our Alexa Echo.

(I have since moved it to my workshop), and put the Play:3 next to it to compare; the Sonos unit sounds at least as good across the entire audio range, and to my taste, sounding as good as

The integration with pandora, songza and 15 other music services is as slick as it gets and my play 3 and 5 sound as good as I've ever hear 44k sampled mp3's get.

I wasn't expecting my parents to enjoy it nearly as much as they did but within minutes they had figured out how to use the Sonos app and were playing music every morning by the time I woke up during my visit

I'm hoping these sound better as they break in.
