Playbarby Sonos
PROS
- Achieving surround sound effectively by itself, the Sonos Playbar can be loud without distortion and delivers smooth sound that is easy on the ears,
- The attractive unit can be mounted on the wall or placed on a mantle or table under your TV.
- The soundbar is easy to set up and can be expanded to 3.1 or 5.1 with existing Sonos speakers.
CONS
- The heavy sound processing could offend audio purists, and optical input for TV limits its use.
- It's pricey considering it does not come with a subwoofer or 5.1 speakers. By the time you add these, you have an $1800 system.
- The Playbar requires a hardwired Ethernet connection to set up unless you already have a Sonos Bridge, and there isn't a hardware remote control..
We're pleased to say that the Playbar has the build quality we'd expect from a Sonos product and it looks absolutely stunning.

...the Sonos Playbar is still a good-looking and fantastically well-made speaker. The parts of the bar that aren’t covered by the smooth, soft fabric grille are made of aluminium – whereas many lesser soundbars are constructed of plastic.

If you want to be able to stream music to your soundbar, the Playbar is a must-audition product. That said, if streaming is not a feature that you will ever use, there are many competitive options.

On its own, the Playbar is bright and almost tinny—even if everything sounds clear. Using the controller app, you can push up the bass equalization, but if you push it too far, the lows sound muddy.
I really like the idea that the Sonos PLAYBAR is a TV sound bar, and a wireless music streaming device at the same time.
