Sonos playbar
Love how this sits neatly on my wall under my TV. The sound is amazing. Will be buying another one in the next few months for another room. Works well with other Sonos speakers. I have built my system slowly. This is the awesome thing with Sonos.
Purchased in May 2019 at JB Hi-Fi Retail Stores for $1,000.00.

Great sound and outstanding customer service and support
I have had a Sonos Playbar and Gen 2 Sub for a couple of years now. I love the sound with the TV and when playing my music through Spotify. It is well made, looks great and the software is terrific. The ability to expand through your house with other speakers in the EcoSystem just adds more value to the Sonos proposition.
About 2 weeks ago I noticed a soft high pitched coming from the Playbar. It was happening when playing music etc and when it was off. It was extremely annoying. I tried resetting the device but this didnt fix the problem. I ...
Read moreended up calling Sonos Support and they were fantastic. I ran a diagnostic on their request and this was sent to the Sonos consultant automatically. He advised this fault had occurred with some other Playbars and he advised they would replace the device even though it was outside warranty. I packaged up and sent back using the Sonos RA and Australia Post. All was very easy. Sonos received the returned Playbar and within 8 days I had a replacement Playbar which is working a treat. Thank you Sonos!! I am a customer for life! Outstanding Sound and Products!Purchased in August 2019 at Harvey Norman for $999.00.

Great sounding bar with excellent software
Always had been more of a HiFi person and the thought of a soundbar seemed just not right.
When I moved into my new house I created a secondary small living area and decided to put a Sonos in there as all it had to do would be better than the tv speakers (not hard)
Surprised myself at how good the sound is for tv viewing with decent bass and clear vocals.
Even better is the Music playback via the app which is easy to use and streams flawlessly
So impressed I bought a Sonos one

Useless
The product does not work. Sonos has no customer care in Australia. You must call USA. We are returning ours after 2 days of frustration. The app does not work, period. Avoid this product.

Go no further.
The quality of this product is unquestionable. Build quality and sound quality are amazing. The ecosystem this product can fit in with is another huge positive. Easy to connect with most TVs and makes even a cheap TV sound great.

Absolutely Amazing
The sound quality is clean and crisp and second to none. The set up is very easy and works over WiFi. I highly recommend the sound bar. The only drawback is no support for Bluetooth however truly blown away by the sound quality when paired with the subwoofer.

Sound is great, but there's a high price to pay, which has nothing to do with the purchase cost.
I have a player and other SONOS speakers. I enjoy the sound, but SONOS impose totalitarian control via your router. I didn't agree with a terms and conditions change last year, after a few weeks they threatened to reduce the functionality of my system unless I agreed. Who owns this thing anyway?
Sick of endless software updates disrupting the music flow? Sorry you can't opt out. The system is also highly dependent on your wifi connection and computer and router working flawlessly. I bought a Bose bluetooth system as a back up to use when I have a party, as the SONOS system keeps dropping out. Now I use that all the time. At least I know it belongs to me.

So easy to install
I am not tech savvy and paranoid about setting this myself. All I did was connect the cables - though finding the digital audio line or output from my TV was the hardest part of the exercise- the app did all the rest. Great sound quality.

Good integration with other Sonos products
Bought this to complement my other Sonos speakers. It has a good design that easily fits to any home decor. Sound quality is full and it can get very loud (sorry neighbors)! The price is quite high but you mostly get a high quality premium product.
Purchased in September 2018 at Harvey Norman for $999.00.
Love the sound, but not the way it has to be used.
I have a sound bar, sub woofer and two SONOS one's that I use as surround. It also wakes me up in the morning with either a radio station, music from my phone or a music App. However I find the system so frustrating when for some reason it looses connection to the modem if when everything else is connected. I just wish that I could just play music straight from my phone or iPod, when my internet is not working. Why,why why does everything need to have internet to work. If I knew this was going to be such an issue when I bought it I would have bought a BOSE instead.

Amazing sound bar!
I was initially hesitant to buy this sound bar for a really large rumpus room as I’ve read that it’s on the small side however couldn’t be happier with my purchase. The sound is amazing, I use it for gaming, movies and listening to music love it!

Questions & Answers
Currently I have 5.1 running in the lounge. It’s big and bulky. I have no doubt the quality for theatre will be good. Music wise, I use a Bose sound dock in the loungeroom, which I would like to get rid of. How’s the sound quality on this? I won’t be heading out to buy the sub super quickly due to initial costs. Many thanks!
The sound from the sonos system is awesome we have the sound bar in front of the TV a sub woofer and two surrounds. The sound bar connects to the TV with a optic cable and the whole sydney runs on WiFi and you can add lots of apps like Spotify, iTunes and your favourite radio stations from any where in the world. I do however get very frustrated with the system when the Internet goes out as you can't do anything with it then other than user it with the TV
Great. Thanks for the info
I have the sound bar downstairs with a mini speaker at opposite end of room, sound is great very full. The speaker upstairs in bedroom sounds like 1/2 of a stereo system...getting predominatley background music and faint lyrics. Will adding another mini speaker in the bedroom give me fuller sound? At times I cannot even hear he lyrics....
I suspect there is interference between the mini speaker and the music source. Wiring or insulation material perhaps? Have you tried moving the equipment around? SONOS are very supportive so you could call them for advice.
You are comparing a commodore Hsv SSV supercharged to a base model 6 cylinder in this case.
The playbar has more speakers,lower Hz and better response rate plus you have another speaker for the rear.
So of course you will think the speaker sound in the bedroom is less than it should,because it is!
You are best to tune the smaller speaker to your room.
Or a stereo pair of play1 will most probably suit your needs in the bedroom.
