Sounds fantastic with music, Extremely low profile, yet it can support up to a 75-pound TV, Can be expanded to a bona fide 5.1-channel surround-sound system, Trueplay can customize the speaker's sound to your room
You'll need to add the $699 subwoofer to get chest-thumping bass in movie soundtracks, Supports Dolby Digital only, not DTS or any of the higher-resolution codecs, Toslink is the only audio input, Sonos is unlikely to ever support high-resolution digital
This is yet another great effort from Sonos, but the Playbase isn't the right home theater speaker for everyone...

Big-time bass, Clear vocals, Room-filling sound, Easy to set up and use
No HDMI, Expensive
The Sonos Playbase impresses with its big bass, clear vocals and room-filling power. It's easy to set up and use, and sounds great whether you're playing movies, TV shows or music. In other words, it hits all the things you want out of a soundbase.You pay...

The Sonos Playbase is a low-slung sound base with impeccable design and impressive sound. Its bass is even better than the Playbar's, so there's no need for a sub. Sonos' app and other speakers make it part of one of the best multiroom systems available
The wide effect needs breathing room -- unadorned walls, too, if you please. No DTS support, HDMI ports or Bluetooth. If you have a "clawfoot" TV, it may not fit on top
The Playbase adds excellent home theater and music sound to Sonos' superb multiroom music system. Just make sure your TV fits...

The $999 Sonos PLAYBASE comes a little too late to really hit home and strike a chord with new TV buyers, the kind that are statistically likely to add on a gutsier sound system. It's still an excellent all-in-one speaker and if you do have a TV whose sta...

At the end of the day, despite the complexity around which TVs will work with with the Playbase and which won't, SONOS have absolutely done it again with another stellar product. The sound quality is amazing and after switching my home theatre setup (incl...

I have had 5.1 sound for some years courtesy of a Pioneer AV amplifier and Jamo bookshelf speakers and a sub – I love 5.1 for the more immersive feel it gives TV. It gave me a great comparison and what more can I say – Sonos was extremely good for a “BASE...
Abstract: There was a brief period of time — think 2011 to 2015, where the pedestal-like soundbar was convenient for TV owners. TVs had gotten skinnier and sound had gotten crummier as a consequence. Functioning as both speaker and stand, the pedestal was an appeal...
