About this deal

When the Death Star explodes in Stars Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (spoiler alert), the Sub delivers solid extra depth at default levels, but for those who really crave thunder, older films like this can handle a higher level. The Death Star explosion really sounds huge at level 8, and this doesn't do much to upset the rest of the mix's balance. Many subwoofers are set-it-and-forget-it speakers with hard-to-reach knobs, but the Sonos app makes it easy to dial in your preferences for a variety of content.

There aren't a lot of features in the Sonos Sub Mini – it's just a subwoofer, after all! As you'd expect, it works wirelessly over Wi-Fi, and uses a fast and low-latency 5GHz connection to ensure it's as synced with your soundbar as possible, but there's also an Ethernet port for wired connectivity.

Users are increasingly wondering what the release date of the Sonos Sub Gen 4 is, what the price will be at the beginning of sales, as well as what upgrades the company will offer in the new subwoofer. We haven’t seen Sonos Sub updates since 2020. We don’t have much information, but still have a lot to tell, so keep reading. And while doing this, it also releases the bass from the soundbar. Ideally, low frequencies should be directionless, and just act as a foundation for the rest of the sound. The Sonos Ray and Beam in particular feel like the bass is powering from the small bar unit; the Arc is a little better, but still feels constrained. The Sub Mini feels like it's just coating the whole area. March 2023: Sonos released the Era 100 and Era 300 speakers. The Era 100 is a new-and-improved version of the One (which will be replaced) and the Era 300 is a new kind of speaker designed to play immersive audio that supports Dolby Atmos. Read our review of the Sonos Era 300. But it doesn't exist on its own. It's really made for pairing with one of three subwoofers, and it's a very tough sell for one, a fairly tough sell for the second, and solid add-on for the last.

September 2022: Sonos announced the Sub Mini, a smaller and more affordable wireless subwoofer designed to be paired with the company's Ray and Beam soundbars. Read our review of the Sonos Sub Mini. With the Sonos Ray, it's simply too much to pay for the extra bass extension and audio improvements it brings. You should get a different soundbar setup if you're thinking of spending that kind of combined money and want real bass. Look to the Yamaha SR-C30A, for example. Use only the supplied power cord to connect to a power outlet (using a third party power cord will void your warranty). Be sure to use the proper power adapter for your country. Push the power cord firmly into Sub until it is flush with the surface. Crossover Frequency: Adjust the frequency at which the sound transitions to the subwoofer. By default this is 80 Hz. And it's very effective in our experience – it means the Sub Mini leaks minimal vibrations outside of the subwoofer itself. Huge bass won't rattle the walls, or travel through to next door (unless you really crank up the volume) – the subwoofer itself feels basically still even when in use.Its sound is not big – in fact, out of the box I'd say it's a little too restrained and polite – but it offers a level of bass extension that none of the Sonos soundbars can match on their own, so there's no question it offers a real improvement for them all. One 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port. You can plug a Sonos product directly into your router if your WiFi is unstable.

It's worth noting the Sub only works with other Sonos speakers, which isn't a huge surprise, but at this price, it's a bummer that it can't be used with the Sonos Amp. The Amp has a subwoofer connection that would be perfect for combining the Sub with a set of non-Sonos speakers, but it won't work. (You can use the Sub with the Amp if you are powering Sonos Architectural by Sonance speakers, but that's the only way.) The Sub is a wireless speaker with no physical connections for a subwoofer output, and it can't work wirelessly with non-Sonos speakers that are physically connected to the Sonos Amp. At this price, that feels like a limitation that needn't exist. Performance It would be awesome if Sonos introduced an updated Play:3 with a new look and new streaming capabilities. And, like the Five, the new "Three" would play stereo sound instead of immersive audio like the Era 300, which is still pretty niche. The Sonos executives said they are trying to mitigate supply chain problems through a range of actions, including shifting delivery of some products to air freight and shifting to more readily available components. The company has already moved some of its production out of China. As a result, executives expect products to be more affordable in 2023.

Note: After Sub is paired with a Sonos speaker, you won’t see it displayed separately in . Any changes you make to that Sonos speaker (volume, mute, music selection) will also affect Sub. Clean only with dry soft cloth. Household cleaners or solvents can damage the finish on your Sonos components. Since then, there has been no official announcement from Sonos or any news or rumors about a release date for the new Sonos subwoofer. All filter settings, active equalization, and time alignment are done digitally through state-of-the-art DSP (Digital Signal Processing) circuitry for zero-loss audio quality and energy. The new Sonos Sub Mini was released in 2022. The release of Sonos Sub is expected and the estimated date is scheduled for 2024. The price that will be at the beginning of sales has also become known.

Conclusion

Subwoofers like the Sonos Sub are a great way to boost the bass frequencies of your home cinema setup – especially if you have a smaller soundbar like the Sonos Beam (Gen 2), which doesn't sound as powerful as bigger models. Unfortunately, there have been few rumblings of Sonos releasing a new "Three" speaker, but given that the company is trending towards smaller speakers (with the Roam and Sub Mini), we aren't giving up all hope just yet. What Speakers Has Sonos Recently Released? Sonos says it's the ideal partner to the Sonos Ray and Sonos Beam 2nd Gen, but is officially gently steering people away from using it with the Sonos Arc, even though (as we'll come to), it works great with that model too. This product does not have any user-serviceable parts. Do not open or disassemble or attempt to repair it or replace any components. Refer all servicing to Sonos qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cable or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.Phase Control: Choose 0° or 180° to set the phase control for your Sonos Sub or third-party subwoofer. This can help integrate your subwoofer with other speakers in the room. (You’ll see this setting when you pair a Sonos Sub or third-party subwoofer with a Sonos Amp or Connect:Amp.) The cylindrical design helps here too (circular units absorb vibrations better than squared-off designed), and they give the Sonos Sub Mini a smart-looking design overall. It's a bit prone to finger smudges, but you won't be moving it around as often as I was when doing all my testing, so you probably won't mind. Sonos is rumored to be working on a set of true wireless earbuds, too. A patent was discovered in February 2021 that showed a pair of wireless earbuds with a unique long-and-flat (wedge-shaped) design and a silicone eartip for fit. Used with the Sonos Beam and Sonos Arc, it doesn't make a big difference to the overall soundstage that I identified, but it does just deliver that deeper, richer rumble that those soundbars simply can't manage on their own.
