Sonos Sub Mini Wireless Compact Subwoofer, Black

I have been a sonos customer for over 8 yrs now and have purchased a pair of ones & fives, beam & ray, the amp & gen 3 sub, now the mini sub too. I still own and use Cambridge audio with Monitor audio also. I use Sonos purly as a convenient option and everyone at home has access to listen to music as and when they like.The mini Sub is good when paired with the ones or beam 2. For a room size of 600sqft. You can set the frequency level based on your preference.The Sonos Sub Mini is a compact subwoofer designed to enhance the bass performance of Sonos soundbars and speaker systems. Here's a comprehensive review:☆ Key Features- Compact cylindrical design** with force-cancelling six-inch drivers- Frequency range down to 25Hz**- Wireless connectivity** over Wi-Fi (5GHz) with Ethernet port option- Compatible with Sonos Ray, Beam, and Arc soundbars☆ PerformanceThe Sub Mini delivers rich, controlled bass that seamlessly integrates with Sonos soundbars. While subtle out of the box, it significantly improves audio depth when adjusted in the Sonos app. Users should increase the sub level to +4 or +5 for optimal performance.☆ Compatibility and Value- Best for Sonos Five pair : Highly recommended.- Good for Sonos Beam: Solid addition, especially in limited spaces- Less recommended for Sonos Ray: Harder to justify the price.☆Sound Quality- Quick and responsive bass- Precise sound integration- Subtle but effective bass enhancement- Performs well for both movies and music.☆Pros- Adds deeper bass to Sonos soundbars and speakers.- Easy wireless setup- Seamless sound integration☆ Cons- Relatively expensive- Limited to one unit per roomMy Rating 4/5 - A good addition for Sonos sound systems seeking improved bass performance.

I guess the first question that comes to your mind would be why on earth I will spend so much (and prices do go down significantly sometimes)for a subwoofer that doesn’t even work alone. (Yes you need a Sonos ecosystem with it or at least a beam or arc. ). So if you think is it worth a subwoofer for 70k? No its not worth.. Now add this to a home theatre setup with sonos beam and two rear sonos one, the price shoots up to over 1.5lacs.. Now is that complete system worth 1.5L? Yes every penny!! The sound fidelity that the whole system provides with wireless connectivity and a great ecosystem with airplay its amazing. Without the Sonos sub your system is not complete as a home theatre. The rumble of a suspense scene is never audible without this monster. It truly feels like theatre.Now if sonos sells all of the home theatre in one go.. there will be hardly any buyers. So it allows you to buy in small increments. I forat got the Sonos Beam, then the two rear channels amd finally the sub, and surely its complete now. I did it over 2-3 years so did not hurt that much. Now like my other reviews lets discuss some points.1. Sound quality (10/10): Deep bass and just bass nothing else. Room shaking bass. I am at a rented place and the false ceiling kind of creaks when this runs..2. App / setup experience (9/10) : Typical sonos setup experience. You need to do a new trueplay tuning after adding this.Since it just produces bass and nothing else there is no highs and mids to discuss. It just seamlessly integrates with your sonos setup.Cons:Price: Its definitely high and Sonos is charging that because you are already invested into the eco system and whatever be the price there is no other option. Very much like Apple devices.Good to know:1. You can adjust bass levels and bass volume.2. I feel it works better in a corner. Human ears cannot detect direction of bass. Hence you can keep anywhere.3. There is a luxury personified site who are official support provider in india. If you are out of warranty then support can become pretty expensive and mostly they will offer you some refurbished item as they dont repair things here. I had to use support for a sonos one that had gone bad. It was in warranty luckily and got replaced but took 2-3 weeks. Here its not like apple. They dont have service network in every major city.Verdict: Buy it if you are one of these:1. Sound freak.. you appreciate quality of music system.2. You are a gadget freak and every few months you feel aaaah what’s next 😜3. You have a sonos system and want to build ipon it.4. You absolutely need a wireless system which seamlessly works with apple devices.5. You have tons of money and dont care.. 😁Otherwise you can buy other great home theatre systems like Onlyo/Yamaha etc. They are much complex to setup and maintain. But much cheaper. But more value for money.My setup:Projector: Epson 2150 Home Cinema 120 inch screen.Sonos: Beam + 2 Sonos one + Sub.Apple Tv 4kConnection: Apple TV to a audio/video splitter to get optical out audio for 5.1. Video out from splitter goes to projector. Optical goes to Sonos beam with the provided optical to hdmi convertor with Beam.I dont have a regular Tv at home as after using this setup for last 4 years. Any TV seems very small 😝
