Sonos Playbar Review: Everything Wireless Should Be This Easy
Sound bars don’t immediately benefit from Wi-Fi connectivity the way music systems do, because you usually use them with your TV, and your TV isn’t something you need to put in your pocket and walk around with. But that doesn’t mean that Sonos’ wireless music features don’t benefit from its first sound bar. Just the opposite, in fact.
Sonos Playbar Ears-On: Powerful Sound In A Petite, Pricey Package
Sonos is aiming to revolutionise home theatre audio by taking all the high-quality sound you need and want, and cramming it all into one big ol’ soundbar you can drop at the bottom of your TV. Sure, it will work with other Sonos units you have hanging around, the Sonos Playbar is also a starter piece that can stand alone. And for a soundbar, this sucker sounds good.
Sonos Sound Bar Hits The FCC And May Land In Your Living Room Soon
Sonos wireless sound systems might not be cheap, but their easily switchable, multi-zone design makes having wireless music throughout your house simple.

Sonos SUB Review: Lots Of Bang, Lots Of Bucks
Sonos is badass with its brainless setup, seamless backend that affords easy access to all of your music, and good sound from its standalone, networked, jukeboxe-y Zone Players.

Sonos Dropping Physical Controllers In Favour Of Apps
Sonos has offered iOS — and more recently Android — apps for its music systems for some time now. The rise in popularity of smartphones and inexpensive tablets has seen the company formally announce that it’s discontinuing its standalone controller, although locally we won’t see the discontinued controllers dropping in price.
Play:3 Puts Sonos In Touch With The Masses
Sonos has been loved by network audio streaming freaks for years. But its products have generally lived outside the realm of the more casual buyer. Now Sonos is updating its branding and introducing the Play:3, a smaller unit that still packs plenty of punch. At $419 RRP it’s also in the right place to steal a lot of attention from the iPhone docking market.
