    Sonos Playbar TV Soundbar/ Wireless Streaming TV and Music Speaker. Works with Alexa.

    • , it is a GREAT system and I don't say that to lightly
    • Highly recommend this system if it's in your budget.
    • Best stereo speaker system Ive ever owned
    • I was surprised by how well the system sounds compared to the Sonos because the weight of the soundbar and sub are lighter and smaller than the Sonos Playbar and Sub
    • Honestly can't wait to pick up the sub to really experience the full sound this nifty system can produce.
    • Quality of sound is 5 stars but the system is a major headache if your wifi goes down
    • We love the Sonos player system
    • Holding off on buying the sub-woofer, as the system souds fine and so not sure about another $700 investment at this time.
    • I was surprised by how well the system sounds compared to the Sonos because the weight of the soundbar and sub are lighter and smaller than the Sonos Playbar and Sub
    • SONOS, GREAT SYSTEM, GREAT SOUND AND
    • * If you're just looking for a good TV sound system, you can spend a fraction of the cost and get another good soundbar + wireless sub woofer
    • All in all, I still think the system is worth it given the ecosystem it provides
    • like no system has such capability especially soundbar without subwoofer, you won't have lower frequency coverage; hence, those who wants one need to buy Subwoofer
    • For homes that are older with no wiring in the walls for sound options, these systems are fantastic
    • Also, same issue as many other systems when watching a movie where voice is low and background, effects too loud; even adjusting and using movie and night setting
    • It is a great sounding system and to expand.
    • One of the best wireless speaker systems on the market but it is expensive,
    • The entire system is clear but does not max out like the old large speakers
    • Love this system!
    • Look, I have a really nice 5.1 surround sound system in my family room
    • Best sound system I've owned
    • This system seems expensive until you experience it and then listen to a $700 iPhone or even $400 headphones
    • Sonos has a great software (music management) system.
    • Overall, excellent wireless system.
    • In comparison, other systems like Bluesound and HEOS, each device has to be connected to WIFI so theoretically restrict your WIFI bandwidth
    • This is a fail proof system that rocks the house
    • Combine this with the subwoofer for an amazing home theater system that could be setup by almost anyone.
    • Used to love Sonos products, but they issued software updates that ruin the system
    • love it, excellent soundbar system,i would highly recommend.it is a bit pricy but worth it.
    • Great system
    • The joy of Sonos is building a system over your time at your own leisure so the eventual goal is having the Sub too
    • Great system fo those that want to keep it simple.
    • Its incredible sound quality and surround system turn my bedroom into a movie theater.
    • Anyone who disses the system for lack of true 5.1 Audio may as well put most Sound Bars (Price Point) in the same category and invest in a true 5.1 or better Audio system
    • We had been looking for a sound system that was comparable to our old, but very bulky home entertainment system
    • They have turned a wonderful system into this awful thing that I now hat and loathe using
    • Two weeks after adding the Play 1's as rear speakers and choosing the Sonos home theater setup on my Sonos menu, I find that I greatly enjoy a home theater system which compares favorably with others costing far more
    • Amazing sound system for the price
    • If you haven't gotten a device to pass through the correct audio signal, you're not experiencing how great this system could sound
    • Sounds good but not very loud and obviously it's missing the bass, which you can add for double the price, that being said, I don't think this system is worth it at a $700 or $1400 price point
    • I recommend this system to anyone who has ears.
    • A great system, and yes it's expensive to start, but once you have it, I am not sure I can see why you would go back to wired.
    • This paired with the Sonos Sub has been the best music / home theater sound system I've ever
    • Great whole home system
    • System like HEOS apparent has this optional and if output is only on single device you won’t have the issue
    • Very easy to use, good sound, sleek design and great wireless sound system
    • because the mechanical noises are distinct for each robot and any good sound system, like SONOS, allows me to hear them.
    • That said, $1200 for the pair (soundbar + sub) gets you a good sound system but not one that compares to others in the same price range.
    • We love having the system throughout the house -- until the realization almost $2000 has been shelled out for the whole shebang starts to settle
    • Best sound system ever
    • This system sounds great, and is very easy to set up using the iPhone app
    • System is easy to setup
    • and I set up a BETTER system in under 10 minutes
    • this system is amazing.
    • We wanted something that had great sound but also worked with wifi, This is a great system, it allows you to mix and match to tailor the system to your needs.
    • The system also loses speakers from our account so that we cant pair them with the soundbar.
    • I had a Onkyo 7.1 system, which never really got a 7.1 signal, but the receiver died on me
    • I have a nice component stereo system that my turntable is connected to, and it shares the same room as my TV
    • I like the system and it sounds great.
    • The system works great.
    • First of all I have to say I love my SONOS system, its easy to configure, gives great sound and the best part is totally wireless
    • Love,love,love the system
    • Update 3/9/2018I ended up selling Sonos as I found ideal system for me, which is HEOS series
    • Very fickle system that is nor really supported by their expensive controller
    • We love our sonos system.
    • Good sound system.
    • Overall a great system, easy to set up and operate with my iPhone
    • Love the Sonos system, they are a bit expensive but the sound quality is amazing.
    • Great speaker system for a TV
    • Then start streaming Amazon Music or Sirius XM and you really understand why this system is so great!
    • The sub and play one’s make an awesome surround sound system, really excelling when I stream music
    • But if you hope to get a great surround sound system when you couple it with two more Sonos Play:1 or Play:3 speakers, you will very likely be disappointed
    • I know there are great 5.1 systems out there, for the money, and the use in a living room, where my wife frowns on large speakers, subs and wire clutter, Sonos is the one to beat.
    • Sonos needs to create an easier system to switch on and off.
    • Entire system sounds great!
    • System works well but is VERY difficult to set up and maintain using its apps.
    • Unfortunately, the audio delays are too severe to recommend, and the whole system is too cumbersome/awkward to use on a daily basis
    • Awesome sound system
    • It seems to defeat all of the benefits of having a pure digital wireless speaker system
    • From a sound perspective you will always get better sound from a full fledged surround sound system, but my family room layout doesn't support a surround sound system, which is why I was previously using the Sony soundbar.
    • Paired with the Play 1s, I've been able to make a decent surround sound system.
    • I just can't praise the system enough
    • It's a completely limited and closed system.
    • I can get sound when I play a show in Netflix, but none of the TV's system sounds (like the click you hear when switching options on the menu) will work
    • The result of this is an excellent surround sound system with no cables running through the walls or on the floor.
    • I absolutely love this sound system.
    • Love the whole SONOS system.
    • For those that want a simple solution for hooking up a great sound system to your TV, this is it
    • I was going to buy one of the much cheaper systems which looked quite similar.
    • Overall though I do enjoy the single wire (power) system and with the Sonos base and two Play 3's the sound is very full.
    • so took a chance on this without hearing it before the purchase and was not disappointed; my family and I love this system.
    • The system sounds great even minus the sub, you can pair a set of play 1 and get good surround sound
    • Biggest drawback - pricey, especially for a proper system
    • Now, we could remove our clunky old speaker system and replace it with this sleek, sound powerhouse
    • As much as I've enjoyed all the previous 5.1 systems, I've always loathed the setup and the look of wires.
    • Just not what many want from an expensive TV sound system
    • All systems smooth within less then an hour.
    • We love the Sonos system
    • Cons:- Closed system
    • I love this speaker system.
    • Sonos makes great speaker systems.
    • Real bad for such an expensive system.
    • The PLAYBAR may have 9 speakers and be the most powerful Sonos system yet, but to me, it simply works.
    • Fantastic system!
    • Best speaker system ever
    • While the Playbar will put out good sound on it's own, it definitely needs the Sub to compete with a good 5.1 surround system
    • For what it is though, it's a pretty nice system
    • 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
    • We love our Sonos system so we had be wanting to add this soundbar to our den room since we cannot access above the ceiling to install in-ceiling speakers in the room.
    • The SUB topped the system off and is a natural pairing to the PLAYBAR.
    • In meantime I can say that in a lot of ways Sonos was the best sound system I've ever owned, but also the most frustrating.
    • I can't vouch for those, but this system is really incredible.
    • My husband accidentally broke our 20 year old Bose system recently and since we had moved into an old 1935 home with plaster walls we needed to go wireless.
    • I went ahead and paid for the replacement because it is a great system when it's working.
    • You read correctly, the Sonos "home theater" product cannot decode one of home theater's finest digital sound encoding surround systems
    • but for now this entire system has not only met but surpassed our expectations.
    • Add in the ability to stream music, and you have an awesome system for all facets of entertainment
    • I love the SONOS system and use it everyday to listen to radio stations and my music collection
    • The system is highly recommended.
    • This is simply the best sound system on the market.
    • She hated my old component system because it was difficult for her to match up the proper inputs when she wanted to do anything other than watch standard TV.
    • I was required to run a system update which auto-prompted and took little time to install.
    • I should have known that Sonos would change the game, as this soundbar CRUSHED my old system in terms of both setup and sound.
    • It does a great job and cranking it up, it blows away any 5.1 system!
    • I just can't praise the system enough
    • Now that we have a couple of Play:1 speakers, the Sonos Sub and the Boost, we have a very nice sounding system for both surround sound and music
    • Love the whole Sonos system, but Playbar is fantastic.
    • System was sickeningly easy to set up
    • great wireless system.
    • If I was simply buying this for music I would rate it 4 stars, but Sonos endorses this as a home theater system, so until they fix this, it's garbage.
