Best stereo speaker system Ive ever owned

What's better is that you can use it as a room speaker for music and it sounds just as good as normal speakers and a receiver

I like the new components they are adding like the HEOS 1 Mobile Pack which turns a HEOS 1 speaker into a battery powered and bluetooth capable speaker

x” to work now that used to work or that you need to “reset, recycle, get some other device, router, Sonos product” in order to do something seemingly straightforward (e.g. play content from your phone or computer on your expensive speakers) then think twice about going down the Sonos route.

Oh My Goodness, what a great speaker.

For the lower sound quality, which isn't bad by the way but noticeably worse than cheap receiver and speakers on top of the price I will take the minor complexity and all the cables of a traditional receiver anyway.

One of the best wireless speaker systems on the market but it is expensive,

Press a couple buttons to sync the PLAYBAR with the BRIDGE, follow a few prompts in the software, disable the TV speakers, and the PLAYBAR is handling audio for my TV and game consoles

My enjoyment of simply watching a movie has gone through the roof compared to the terrible speakers built into my beautiful 59" TV.

I don't need all the sonos app stuff, but just for an amazing speaker, that is smaller and classier than the

, you can't add true left and right speakers, despite them calling it a 5.1 set-up - left, right and center are only in the sound-bar

The speaker sounds great.

In terms of sound quality, the PlayBar blows away any TV speakers I've heard

I really like this speaker

The rear channels of a PlayBar 5.1 system can now be the new less expensive Play:1 speakers, or you can use your own speakers with the CONNECT amp

And when I say really good I mean for most people (including myself) that would hear them would concede that the Sonos sounded almost as good (audiophiles would disagree), or at least good enough, to compete with the speakers that cost several (or even back to back with a pair of much more expensive speakers, and at a fraction of the price, were downright amazing

While these speakers are expensive, one should remember that you are actually buying both an amplifier and speaker system all in one (two with the subwoofer) package

My speaker worked for three months and then unexpectedly it stopped although I changed nothing related to connectivity.

(2013 Model) - Amazon Fire TV - Comcast Xfinity Cable TV Cable Box - SONOS PLAYBAR TV Soundbar and Wireless Speaker for Streaming Music - SONOS SUB Wireless Subwoofer (Gloss), - SONOS PLAY:1 Compact Wireless Speaker for Streaming Music - (Black) (2X

In general, dialogue is better through the Playbar than with built-in backward-facing speakers on my flat panel TV, but quiet conversations are still somewhat indistinct

Absolutely fantastic speaker, highly recommended, I own two of them.

The TV is paper thin (a plus) with no room for respectable speakers

Not only did it allow me to add another outstanding speaker to my ever growing SONOS home network, but it massively cleaned up and improved my Home Entertainment setup.

Fantastic speaker

The speakers are crystal clear and controlling it from your iPhone works very well

The speakers are crystal clear and controlling it from your iPhone works very well

It doesn't sound like one speaker coming at you but a surround sound experience

Product is not good as a substitute for good receiver and regular speakers

Overall, this is an excellent speaker, let down my limited connectivity options

The Play:3 is also still supported as a rear channel speaker for a PlayBar multi-channel system

The app setup is really user friendly, and it even prompted me to reconfigure my speakers when I had missed a step and was doing it wrong.

I love Sonos speakers and the sound they produce

The system also loses speakers from our account so that we cant pair them with the soundbar.

That aside, the PlayBar was an excellent purchase, albeit a pricey one, but Sonos delivers excellent quality speakers, and a truly seamless setup and experience

I've always hated the idea of a home theatre with music and TV combined, and it's only a lack of dedicated space for my music collection that they share a room (for now).That being said, the speakers in modern TVs are rubbish and the use of alternative sound delivery is important

I owned a high end receiver and some very nice speakers which I sold for $1700 on ebay

Sonos expects customers to buy a whole other set of expensive speakers, simply to play their music right next to the computer

Whether it is better than competitor e.g. Bose, Denon HENOS, Bluesound, and even more recent smart speaker like Homepod are point of debate

Great speaker system for a TV

Has promise - speakers sound pretty good and can be tuned to room with app (if you leave them in the same place in the room),But there are a several things that keep me from recommending it:The app is vary frustrating - If you want to move the speakers from room to room - it won't remember your set-ups.

currently have this set up in my bedroom as a standalone speaker and sound quality is amazing for TV, music, and movies.

I definitely think the Play:1s as surround speakers aren't strong enough

It's probably overkill, though, the speakers on the television were quite adequate

I do happen to have this configuration and it does make a wonderful speaker

I also have it set up for a wireless speaker in the living room to compliment the other Sonos speakers in my home.

It seems to defeat all of the benefits of having a pure digital wireless speaker system

Prior to this solution, I had 3 separate bulky speakers resting below my TV that distracted from how cleanly my TV was mounted on the wall - like a picture frame with no visible cables.

Well it is close enough for home theater but for music its not nearly as good as wood speakers and subwoofer with a quality receiver

Overall decent speaker with good brand name, sound quality, app and potential for piece by piece future expansion

it is a kind of rattling from the speakers; I am guessing that the amps in the PLAYBAR are overpowering the speakers causing the speakers to rattle a little

As for sound quality, the speakers that are part of my TV are better for watching TV and movies, but the SoundBar is better for music.

So far the surround sound feature utilizing tow of the play 3 speakers is great.

In the end the Sonos Soundbar is a fantastic component of a Surround sound system/stereo system and a really good stand alone speaker with awesome connectivity

My goal in adding Playbar was to disable the existing room speakers, and use the Playbar as the audio source

With caution, I bought a single Play:1 and liked the deep sound from a relatively small coffee-can sized speaker

It is a very good, wifi, wireless speaker

Now, we could remove our clunky old speaker system and replace it with this sleek, sound powerhouse

’re great speakers don’t get me wrong when they work

The PLAYBAR may have 9 speakers and be the most powerful Sonos system yet, but to me, it simply works.

Sonos makes great speaker systems.

I recommend getting the whole 5.1 system it sounds amazing and will sometimes scare you how good the surround speakers are when you hear the effects.

Best speaker system ever

Sonos' best feature is also their biggest flaw in regards to delivering a true Dolby Digital 5.1 experience through their home theater setup using a SONOS PLAYBAR,SONOS SUB Wireless Subwoofer (Gloss), and either SONOS PLAY:1 Compact Wireless Speaker for Streaming Music - (Black) or SONOS - PLAY:3 Wireless Speaker for Streaming

currently just using your TV’s integrated speakers, or a cheap speaker upgrade, there’s little comparison

Excellent sound bar from SONOS, it offers a great sound quality produced by the products 9 amplified speakers.

Its just that good.- set up was fairly easy.- being able to sync with your tv remote is just a great feature to have- once combined with a pair of sonos 3 as surround speakers you have yourself a great speaker system perfect for a bedroom or mini tv room

I'm no audiophile and it took a lot of searching to find out why I was getting no sound from my expensive speakers

’re great speakers don’t get me wrong when they work

This unit eliminates the need for additional left and right speakers as this sound bar has them built in

before you make your purchase there are cheaper speakers out

I have always loved good music and nice speakers, I don't believe that the Sonos speakers are the best speakers I have heard or even that I own.

Let me be clear, audio output from the SONOS PLAYBAR is a decent step on from your TV’s integrated speakers, but compact speakers positioned in a tight, horizontal soundbar configuration are never going to give you the wider soundstage offered by separates

A great speaker for use with the TV and as well for music through the Sonos system.

With two amps and the soundbar (total $1700), now looking at another amp @$499 to hook up yet another pair of speakers that were built in with our new home, and from $199 to $299 (or more if we get crazy) for admittedly incredibly-easy speakers for each additional room

Before buying, be sure your TV has an option in a menu somewhere to disable the internal speakers.

To summarize:PROs:-Rich sound, especially watching movies and TV using Play:1s as surround speakers

Apart from that it is an amazing speaker and it really brings out the best sounds on any movie, series, video or song you play through it

your home network devices, (i.e. your PC(s), laptop(s), and handheld(s)), on which you installed the free SONOS app(s), and3

I would never buy a Sonos product again until their wifi technology is better tested and works as it should.

No "well you just have to..." or "sometimes it does xyz, but overall i'm happy" no sinking feeling that the next great thing you built up in your head isn't quite as great as you built it up to be

Hopefully Sonos eventually realizes that they need other connection options, but regardless, for now works extremely well for me as I have it set up

Sonos is legendary for a good reason - because they really produce these components for the discerning consumer as well as for the neophyte looking for new sonic frontiers

It's great to be able to send my 40 or so digital music channels from my cable provider throughout the house as well as to finally have my DVD player connected

Sonos still doesn't seem to be quickly developing software updates for it's current line of offerings which leaves me worried as to the longevity of the current speaker technology.

this didn't bug me as much as it should because my TV is mounted on the wall and there is no space for a blu-ray player anyway

I'll add more as I gain insights.

Setup was a bit of a challenge at first - I did not start out with a Sonos bridge - which I highly recommend as it creates a separate wifi network for your Sonos system
