Coverage note. Speaker Ranking currently covers 14 Sonos models across portable bluetooth speakers, powered speakers and subwoofers. These are the products in our database, not a complete list of everything Sonos makes.
What this page covers. The Sonos models ranked here span portable bluetooth speakers, powered speakers and subwoofers, including Sonos Sub 4, Sonos Move 2 and Sonos Move. Use each model’s category position to compare it with alternatives of the same size and use case.
This page lists all 14 Sonos speakers ranked on this site across portable bluetooth speakers, powered speakers and subwoofers. Each model is shown in the category where it competes, with its current rank and the size of that ranking.
Use the category position rather than the brand name alone: speakers from the same manufacturer can perform very differently by size, price and product family.

Medium Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers
Ranked #60 of 175 in Medium Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Sonos Play: $299.00 Amazon $299.00 Sonos $299.00 eBay
Pros: Genuinely wide, clean stereo dispersion off-axis thanks to the two angled tweeters, holding up from the side far better than most portables. Loudness processing keeps it sounding full-bodied at low volume. 24-hour user-replaceable battery with an included wireless charging base, IP67 waterproof and dustproof, and full Sonos WiFi multi-room with AirPlay 2 on top of Bluetooth 5.3.
Cons: Bass distorts noticeably on bass-heavy tracks at default settings, and the distortion persists even after enabling Trueplay tuning and manually pulling bass back in the app. Sounds boxy and short on clarity next to cheaper competitors.

Ranked #95 of 175 in Medium Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Sonos Roam 2: $179.00 Amazon $179.00 Sonos $179.00 eBay
Older model: the Sonos Roam (ranked lower, rated 3.1/5). See every Sonos Roam generation.
Pros: Very neutral. Additional button for pairing instead of being shared with power button. Measured bass extension of 63Hz (-10dB).
Cons: Exact same sound quality as the original Sonos Roam. Bass extension isn’t very good. Not stereo. Gets distorted as you turn up the bass.

Large Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers
Ranked #28 of 105 in Large Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Sonos Move 2: $480.00 Amazon $480.00 Lowest Sonos $499.00 eBay
Older model: the Sonos Move (ranked lower, rated 4.1/5). See every Sonos Move generation.
Pros: Warm sounding with somewhat rolled off treble. Slightly better midrange clarity than the Sonos Move.
Cons: Not very loud. It may share the Sonos Move’s full-volume issues, though more sound samples at full volume are needed to confirm that.

Medium Size Powered Desktop Speakers
Ranked #16 of 28 in Medium Size Powered Desktop Speakers - Sonos Era 100: $219.00 each Amazon $219.00 Sonos $219.00 eBay
Same family: the Sonos Era 300 (larger model, rated 4/5).
Pros: RTINGS lists room correction tools and bass/treble adjustments as its real strengths, and its balanced midrange suits a wide range of genres, with wider stereo separation than the mono Sonos One SL it replaced thanks to two angled tweeters plus a 25% larger mid-woofer than the original Sonos One. Alexa is built in with a far-field mic, and it ties into the wider Sonos S2 app ecosystem for multi-room audio.
Cons: RTINGS’ own two listed cons are not loud enough for larger rooms and very little low-bass thump, so genres like EDM and hip-hop lack rumble even with the tone adjustments. There’s no Google Assistant, the USB-C line-in needs a separately purchased adapter, and there’s no battery.

Ranked #17 of 28 in Medium Size Powered Desktop Speakers - Sonos Era 100 SL: $189.00 each Amazon $189.00 Sonos $189.00 eBay
Pros: Uses the same two angled tweeters and mid-woofer as the Sonos Era 100, so it sounds the same for less money. Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Bluetooth 5.3 and Sonos multi-room or stereo pairing are all included, and leaving out microphones suits buyers who do not want a voice assistant in the room.
Cons: Trueplay room correction only works from an iPhone, so Android owners lose automatic tuning. Like the Sonos Era 100, it lacks deep bass and output for larger rooms, line in needs a separately sold USB-C adapter, and there is no battery or voice control.

Large Size Powered Desktop Speakers
Ranked #4 of 10 in Large Size Powered Desktop Speakers - Sonos Five: $576.94 each Amazon $576.94 Sonos $599.00 eBay
Pros: Independently measured by Audio Science Review, it has deep bass for a wireless speaker, reaching 38.5Hz at -3dB and about 25.5Hz at -10dB, with a 3.92 preference score and 5.56 with an ideal subwoofer. A 2.22 directivity-index deviation means the sound stays consistent around the room. Three woofers and three tweeters on six amplifiers play in stereo when placed horizontally, and Trueplay tuning, AirPlay 2 and a 3.5mm line-in add flexibility. Measured bass extension of 38.5Hz (-3dB).
Cons: A 4.8dB reference band means the midrange and treble are less even than the best speakers, so tonal balance benefits from EQ. It has no Bluetooth and no microphone for voice assistants, and at 6.36kg it is a large box for a desk.

Ranked #6 of 10 in Large Size Powered Desktop Speakers - Sonos Era 300: $493.00 each Amazon $493.00 Sonos $499.00 eBay
Same family: the Sonos Era 100 (smaller model, rated 3.6/5).
Pros: RTINGS calls it an excellent choice for voice assistants: built-in Alexa has no trouble hearing commands from a distance or in a noisy room, with a mic mute button on the back. Six drivers, one forward-firing tweeter, two side-firing tweeters, one upward-firing tweeter, and two angled woofers, each with its own Class D amp, give real stereo separation plus Dolby Atmos spatial audio on supported content. Trueplay room correction (now including a quicker Android tuning option) is a genuine strength, and it pairs with Sonos soundbars like the Arc Ultra for a home theater setup.
Cons: RTINGS’ one listed con is some compression at max volume. Out of the box the tuning leans bass-heavy enough that vocals can get shrouded in the mix on some tracks, though Trueplay largely corrects this. There’s no Google Assistant, no battery, and at $493 it’s the most expensive speaker in this ecosystem comparison.

Small Home Subwoofers (Under 30 lbs)
Ranked #10 of 73 in Small Home Subwoofers (Under 30 lbs) - Sonos Sub 4: $869.00 Amazon $869.00 Lowest Sonos $899.00 eBay
Older models: the Sonos Sub (Gen 3) (estimated 3.7/5), the Sonos Sub (Gen 2) (estimated 3.7/5) and the Sonos Sub (Gen 1) (rated 3.7/5). See every Sonos Sub generation.
Same family: the Sonos Sub Mini (smaller subwoofer, ranked lower, rated 3.2/5).
Pros: Two force-cancelling drivers face each other to cut cabinet buzz and rattle, and Sonos rates bass down to 25Hz. Connects to a Sonos soundbar or speaker over Wi-Fi, so it can go anywhere with a power outlet, and sets up from the Sonos app.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its output can’t be compared with ranked subwoofers. It only works with Sonos soundbars and speakers, with no line-level input for any other system.

Ranked #47 of 73 in Small Home Subwoofers (Under 30 lbs) - Sonos Sub Mini: $499.00 Amazon $499.00 Sonos $499.00 eBay
Same family: the Sonos Sub 4 (larger subwoofer, ranked higher, estimated 3.7/5). See every Sonos Sub generation.
Pros: Independent CEA-2010 testing records 82.4 dB at 20 Hz and 106.4 dB through 40-80 Hz. The sealed enclosure with 2x 6” (152mm) driver is best suited to upper-bass support in a modest room.
Cons: Deep-bass output is limited relative to its midbass result, so it is not the right choice for the lowest movie effects. The 305.1H x 230.1W x 230.1D mm cabinet and 6.4 kg mass still need deliberate placement and calibration.

Large Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers
Ranked #30 of 105 in Large Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Sonos Move: $399.99 Discontinued Amazon $399.99 eBay
Newer model: the Sonos Move 2, ranked higher, rated 4.1/5, released Sep 2023. It adds power bank charging. Battery life goes from 11 to 24 hours. See every Sonos Move generation.
Pros: A well-integrated Sonos portable that combines Wi-Fi multiroom playback, Bluetooth, automatic Trueplay room tuning and a charging base in a sturdy carryable enclosure. Reviews praise its broad, full-bodied sound, warm tonal balance and weightier bass than smaller Sonos speakers, particularly at normal indoor listening levels. Measured bass extension of 49Hz (-10dB).
Cons: It is mono, heavy and less portable than a conventional Bluetooth speaker, while bass pumping and compression become audible at high volume. Deep bass and maximum output trail the strongest speakers in its size class, and the rolled-off treble sacrifices some air and detail. It is discontinued in favor of Sonos Move 2, so buy used with battery condition in mind.

Medium Home Subwoofers (30-75 lbs)
Ranked #102 of 212 in Medium Home Subwoofers (30-75 lbs) - Sonos Sub (Gen 1): $699 Discontinued eBay
Newer model: the Sonos Sub 4, estimated 3.7/5, released Oct 2024. See every Sonos Sub generation.
Pros: The force-cancelling dual-driver design delivers clean, substantial bass without cabinet buzz, and it can stand upright or lie flat in spaces where a conventional subwoofer will not fit. It pairs wirelessly with Sonos speakers, with simple setup and system DSP that integrates it smoothly for movies and music.
Cons: It works only within a Sonos system, so it cannot serve as a conventional standalone subwoofer. At 16.5kg it is substantial to move, and reviews find its music bass can sound a little thick rather than fully articulate. This first-generation model is discontinued, so support and compatibility should be checked before buying used.

Ranked #114 of 212 in Medium Home Subwoofers (30-75 lbs) - Sonos Sub (Gen 3): $749 Discontinued eBay
Newer model: the Sonos Sub 4, estimated 3.7/5, released Oct 2024.
Older models: the Sonos Sub (Gen 2) (ranked higher, estimated 3.7/5) and the Sonos Sub (Gen 1) (ranked higher, rated 3.7/5). See every Sonos Sub generation.
Pros: The same force-cancelling acoustic design as the Sonos Sub (Gen 2) with more memory, a faster processor and a new wireless radio, so it runs on the current Sonos S2 app. Rated down to 25Hz.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its output can’t be compared with ranked subwoofers. It only works with Sonos soundbars and speakers, with no line-level input for other systems, and it has been replaced by the Sonos Sub 4. Discontinued.
