As we've said before, we've been waiting for Sonos to make a home theater play for years, and the Playbar is the first move in this space. It's impressive, providing great sound that can appropriately fill a room. As we stated earlier, it's not for everyo...

Large, expansive sound field effectively wraps sound around you, Awesome loudness capability, yet low on distortion, Warm, easy-on-the-ears sound makes long-term listening a breeze, Best aesthetic design we've seen yet for a soundbar
Pricier than the competition – even pricier with a subwoofer, Single input woefully limits flexibility
The Sonos Playbar's impressive movie sound, good looks, ease of use, and smooth, fatigue-free musicality is, in our experience, an uncommonly rare mix of attributes among sound bars. That it's also wireless-streaming capable is a major bonus for folks l...
Big whoop, right? We came here to hear, and the Playbar doesn't disappoint. In tests with an assortment of audio sources, including a live telecast of the Oscars, a Bluray of Skyfall, Uncharted 3 on a PS3, and lots of songs streamed from Pandora and Songz
Lacks a dedicated remote. Like all Sonos gear, it's priced to make you cry. Not much bass, unless you add the company's 0 subwoofer (more tears). Requires an Ethernet connection or Sonos Bridge

The Sonos PLAYBAR is a great addition to your home theater that gives your high-end flat screen the added sensory life it deserves. Remember when you saw those few extra “missing” inches when watching 16:9 content for the first time, or watching 480p vs. ...
Overall, the Playbar has been one of the most welcome additions to my listening room in a long time. You know why? Because it always works . I turn my TV on and the sound comes on and it sounds good. I use the remote from my TV or Blu-ray player just as ...
Abstract: Consuming music has never been easier thanks to the wide swath of devices that support a myriad of services. Options range from the tried and tested Apple iTunes store, to MOG, to Rhapsody, to the darling of music startups Spotify. In fact, some of my eve...
Abstract: The Sonos is different from other soundbars, as it comes from a product lineage designed around music streaming – that is, playing music stored on your computer or from any of the many sources available online – with easy control from your smartphone or t...
Much improved sound vs. TV speakers, Can be expanded to 5.1 surround, Great design, versatile placement
Limited audio adjustment, High price
Sonos's PLAYBAR music system requires an accompanying smartphone or tablet and a little bit of practice, but as a way of bringing together all your music sources *and* replacing your TV's speakers, it's without equal. It's not the best soundbar we've hear...
