If you use the Sonos Playbar as your home’s audio control center, you can connect components in other rooms or any part of your home reachable via your Wi-Fi network. The Playbar has six mid-woofers and three tweeters, each with a digital amplifier for precise voice and sound effect control. This smart device streams audio input via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. There’s also an optical audio input port but no HDMI ports. In addition to Wi-Fi support, the Playbar also includes two 10/100 Ethernet ports for wired network connections.

The Sonos Playbar doesn’t include a remote control device, but you have several options. You can configure your TV remote control to control the Playbar. If you download the Sonos app, then you can have complete control of all your Sonos components with an iOS or Android smartphone or tablet. Also, the Sonos Playbar is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant to enable hands-free voice control. You can certainly use the Sonos Playbar as the sole audio component with a TV. If you have other audio components that you also wish to use with your TV, the Playbar is best suited as a center channel speaker.

The Sonos Playbar wireless soundbar ordinarily sells for $700, but Best Buy reduced the price to $600 during the Memorial Day Sale.

Give your home theater the power of Sonos Sub’s wireless subwoofer for low-frequency bass without the vibration in most strong subwoofers. The Sonos sub uses two face-to-face drivers, each with its own tuned digital amplifier to cancel the vibrations. The result is pure sound without irritating noise. The Sonos Sub works with any Sonos amplified components and is compatible with Apple Music content. You can connect to a network Wi-Fi or a wired Ethernet port. The Sub is both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant compatible if you want to connect and control via voice. The downloadable Sonos Control app works with any iOS or Android mobile device for setup, configuration, and access to all controls and settings.

While the Sonos Sub lists for $700, it’s on sale for $600 during Best Buy’s Memorial Day Sales. If you’ve been waiting to add a Sonos Sub to your existing Sonos component or buying your first Sonos set up now, take advantage of the rare sale on this device.
