Brand: Sonos
#102 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: A wireless subwoofer for Sonos systems that stands upright or lies flat and pairs with simple setup, now discontinued. 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.
