The big dog in the streaming Wi-Fi speaker business has barked and delivered a sub-woofer - called the Sub. In fact it launched it a year and a half ago, but we can only now write about this heavy boom-box, so to speak, because the damn thing costs the b...

Sonos's SUB provides a very welcome low-frequency kick for the already-impressive Play:5 wireless speakers, and the effect would be more pronounced with the smaller Play:3. Seamless integration with an existing Sonos system makes it a very easy upgrade...

The Sonos SUB is a monolithic subwoofer. Measuring 402 x 158 x 380mm, it’s of average size for a sub, but weighs a stonking 16kg. With a glossy black finish, it has a donut-like gap in the centre of its boxy shape, making it quite unlike any subwoo...
There’s no denying that the Sonos SUB is a great bit of kit. It looks amazing, is a piece of cake to set up and gives a marked improvement to the audio quality of an existing Sonos system. However, £599 is also undeniably expensive for a subwo...

It's expensive compared with standard subs, but then it's built specifically for the Sonos system – itself not a cheap proposition. Ultimately the Sonos Sub simply sets out to add bass to a system probably built around the Play:3 or Play:5. And it does a...

The sound is good. The sound is utterly fantastic. Sonos claims that Sub's amps and speakers are positioned “for deeper, richer sound and zero cabinet buzz or rattle.” They're right. Adding Sub to a Play:3 speaker is like taking a cute and serviceable For...
Sounds fantastic, goes way past 11, dead simple to set up, and doubles as a borderline classy/cheesy piece of nouveau art furniture: Sub sounds like a winner, no? Sure, if you can afford it. Sub sells for $699, which is a lot of cash for a subwoofer. Add...
