Whether or not you like the thick, slab like design (we’re quite taken with it), the Sonos Playbar could not have been designed better. It’s a beefy 5.4 kilos and 90cm wide, but once it’s on, you soon stop noticing it’s there. Setting up gadgets that connect to your home network is usually a chore, but the Playbar is painless. You plug it into the router and your TV, or follow the steps to connec
There’s little to fault the Sonos Playbar...except for one thing. All this comes at a cost. The Playbar price rings in at an eye-watering £599. When you can get respectable rivals for less than £100 (albeit, rivals without streaming music services built in), that’s a tough call to make. And if you want to lash it up as part of a full Sonos surround sound set-up, that’ll be another half grand for
Put simply, the Sonos Playbar is the best soundbar we’ve ever tested. Deep, rich sound combined with incredibly well thought out design and Sonos’ flawless multi-room audio system put this box on another level to all of its rivals. It’s just a shame it...

Surround sound could be better, Audiophiles will need a sub

Abstract: Audiophiles today install sound systems in every room in their house, and every TV in every room has to have some sort of sound system or home theater to play your tunes, shows, video games or movies. The problem has always been:a. Do I setup multiple s...
Initial setup of the Sonos App can be finicky, expensive
The Sonos Playbar is near perfection as far as soundbars go, providing top notch sound in a simple, self contained package. If you want the best sound you can get from a single speaker system, this is it...

In one sense, the Playbar sits in an odd middleground. Its pricetag may be too high for some, while "serious" home theater fans may demand (slightly) better. Nevertheless, the Playbar is a solid option for iPhone and iPad owners who want a single system...
This is one of the best sounding speakers in our review
It doesn't have any other connectivity other than Wi-Fi
The sound quality of the PLAY:3 competes with the best speakers in our comparison, but the lack of connectivity options couldn't be more disappointing. Its audio clarity is almost unmatched, but its Wi-Fi only connectivity is frustrating to say the least...

While the SONOS PLAYBAR performs well with quality audio sources, a soundbar isn't going to be the optimum solution for everyone – especially hardcore home theater gurus who want to spend hours optimising AV receivers and speaker setups.Neither wil...
At $699, the Sonos PLAYBAR is a very good, somewhat expensive, sound bar. If the price was lower, it would certainly be a very easy recommendation (“no brainer” would comer to mind). But since it's not, I would urge you to look at your actual needs.If you...
