Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Staff Reviews Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Sonos PLAYBAR by Tara W. The sound bar for music lovers This is no ordinary sound bar. The Sonos PLAYBAR connects to your TV to play movies, TV shows, and sports with vibrant, room-filling sound. But, unlike other sound bars and like all Sonos speakers, it offers wireless access to a world full of music — Pandora®, Spotify®, Beats Music™, thousands of Internet radio stations, and more. Control the PLAYBAR using your TV's remote control and using the free Sonos app for smartphones and tablets to stream digital music. The technology behind the Sonos PLAYBAR The nine-speaker PLAYBAR features three tweeters and six midrange speakers for cinematic sound without loading your room up with speakers. Built-in amplification and processing can handle Dolby® Digital and lossless audio formats. And the PLAYBAR's automatic equalization self-adjusts to the program material to provide rich, seamless sound. Three options for home theater sound 3.0 home theater Connect PLAYBAR to your TV with an included optical digital cable for clean, clear sound from TV shows and movies. 3.1 home theater Pair a Sonos SUB with PLAYBAR to add bass impact to your home theater system. The SUB pairs wirelessly with the PLAYBAR using proprietary Sonosnet™ technology, at the touch of a button. It's a simple way to enjoy rich, full sound. 5.1 home theater Add two Sonos PLAY:3 or PLAY:1 speakers to the PLAYBAR and SUB for a complete, wraparound movie theater experience in your living room. Like the SUB, the PLAY:3 speakers wirelessly connect to the PLAYBAR so you don't have to run speaker wire around your room. Please note: The PLAYBAR must be connected to your broadband router for use in home theater setups with the Sonos SUB or other Sonos speakers as rear speakers. If your router is in a different room from the PLAYBAR, you can use the optional Sonos BRIDGE (not included) to make a stable wireless connection. You probably already own a Sonos controller Control PLAYBAR volume and mute functions using your existing TV, cable, or universal remote. The free Sonos Controller App lets you control PLAYBAR with your smartphone or tablet and allows you to stream music to the PLAYBAR even when your TV is off. Rhapsody®, Pandora®, SiriusXM, and more at your fingertips The Sonos system works seamlessly with a host of Internet music services, including Rhapsody, Pandora, Napster®, and SiriusXM Internet Radio. Rhapsody offers instant access to millions of songs and ad-free radio stations. SiriusXM Internet Radio gives you access to over 80 channels of programming. Every Sonos system includes free 30-day trials of these two services, so you can start listening the moment you take it out of the box. Pandora creates customized Internet radio streams just for you — all you have to do is enter the name of your favorite song or artist. And because Sonos connects directly to the Internet for all of these music services, you don't even have to turn on your PC. Play music stored on your iPhone®, iPad®, or iPod touch® Sonos now gives you convenient wireless access to music and podcasts stored in the Music app of iOS devices, for playback throughout your entire Sonos system. This feature works on devices running iOS6 or later (see below for full list of compatible Apple devices). The system even lets you connect multiple Apple players at once. For instance, you can queue up songs from your iPhone to play in the kitchen while you cook, and your spouse can stream a podcast in the den at the same time. Expand your Sonos system You can have up to 32 Sonos music players in your system, and each one can play an independent selection of individual tracks or playlists. Listen to jazz in the den while your spouse plays rock music in the kitchen, or pump a single playlist of songs throughout the entire house during a party.

Home Theater Features Network Audio Features Home Theater Features Overview: Complement your HD flat-panel television with the Sonos PlayBar soundbar speaker for rich, room-filling HiFi sound. The Sonos PlayBar is simple to setup, control, and expand. It requires only three cable connections; a power cord, optical digital audio cable, and Ethernet cable (all included). The PlayBar supports playback of all sources connected to your TV; such as cable/satellite, Blu-ray/DVD player, video game system, etc. The Sonos PlayBar can also wirelessly stream music from your computer, as well as various online music services and Internet Radio. The PlayBar can even sync with other Sonos speakers wirelessly. The unit can be controlled from your TV's remote, or by your Apple iOS device or Android smartphone using the free Sonos App from iTunes or Google Play. Note: The PlayBar works with all amplified and non-amplified Sonos products (sold separately). Active 9-Speaker Design: The Sonos PlayBar soundbar speaker features a sophisticated 9-speaker design with six midrange drivers and three tweeters (the left & right tweeters are angled for a wider sound stage). Each speaker is driven by a perfectly matched Class D amplifier. The PlayBar acts as your front left, front right, and center-channel speaker. Optical Digital Input (Dolby Digital/PCM): The Sonos PlayBar soundbar speaker connects to your television via its optical (toslink) digital input. The unit supports both Dolby Digital (5.1ch) and PCM (2ch) audio signals through its digital input. Make sure to turn your television's speakers off. Dolby Digital: Your television's off-air and network movie apps can be delivered in Dolby Digital format to the PlayBar. The PlayBar will decode and utilize up to six discrete sound channels (five channels for center, right front, left front, right rear, and left rear; and 1 discrete Low-Frequency Effects (LFE) or subwoofer channel) available through the Dolby Digital format. Stereo/PCM: AV sources connected to your TV (such as Blu-ray, cable/satellite, video game) are delivered in Stereo/PCM format to the PlayBar. The PLAYBAR will decode the Stereo/PCM format into a left front and right front channels directly from the 2 channel Stereo provided and will decode a matrixed center, right rear, left rear, and subwoofer channel from the audio signal. Equalization (EQ): During the PlayBar setup process you will be guided through its audio calibration process. If desired, you can change the sound settings (bass, treble or loudness) for the Sonos PlayBar. Bass boosts lower frequencies, treble boosts higher frequencies, while loudness boosts both bass and treble to improve the sound at low volume. Sound Options: The Sonos PlayBar offers various sound settings to customize your listening experience. Speech Enhancements: The Speech Enhancement setting makes the TV dialog easier to hear. Night Sound: The Night Sound setting adjusts the audio for night time viewing so you can reduce the volume and still experience proper balance and range. At lower volumes, quiet sounds are enhanced and the intensity of loud sounds is reduced. Audio Delay (Lip Sync): You can increase or decrease the sound delay if the image on your TV and the sound from the PlayBar are not in sync. TV Auto Play: When TV Auto Play is set to On, TV audio automatically plays through the PlayBar when you turn on your television. If music is playing when the TV is turned on, the music immediately stops and the PlayBar switches to TV audio. IR Sensor/Repeater: The Sonos PlayBar speaker does not come with a remote, but does offer a built-in IR sensor and IR repeater. You can program your TV's remote control to operate volume up/down of the system. If the PlayBar blocks your TV's IR sensor, the unit's IR repeater allows the remote signal to pass through the PlayBar to your TV. Mounting Options: The PlayBar can sit above or beneath your flat-panel TV on a shelf, or mounted on a wall using optional wall mount bracket (616PBWLMNT, sold separately). When mounting the speaker below a television, allow 1" of clearance between the PlayBar and the TV. When mounting the speaker above a television, allow 2" of clearance between the PlayBar and the TV. Do not place the PlayBar in a cabinet or on a walled shelf. Both ends of the soundbar speaker should be at least 1' from a wall or other obstruction. Wireless 5.1ch Speaker System: Add the Sonos Wireless Subwoofer (616SUB, sold separately) and a pair of Sonos Play:3 Wireless Speakers (616ZPS3B, sold separately) or Sonos Play:1 (616ZPS1B, sold separately) for a wireless 5.1ch surround sound experience. Now you don't have to run wires to a powered sub or rear speakers to enjoy true 5.1ch audio. Network Audio Features Music Streaming: The Sonos PlayBar connects to your computer and home network via an Ethernet connection on your broadband router to give you access to unlimited music; such as your iTunes library, your favorite music services, and thousands of Internet radio stations, shows, and podcasts. Pre-Loaded Internet Radio: The Sonos PlayBar includes TuneIn, an Internet Radio Service, that provides immediate access to 100,000 Internet radio stations and broadcast programs. You can easily find radio stations from all over the world broadcasting music, news, and variety programming, including archived shows and podcasts. Online Music Services: The Sonos PlayBar works seamlessly with 7Digital, Amazon Cloud Player, AUPEO!, DAR.fm, Hearts of Space, iHeartRadio, Murfie, Pandora, Rdio, Rhapsody, SiriusXM Internet Radio, Slacker Radio, Songza, Spotify, Stitcher, & Wolfgang's Vault, plus downloads from any service offering DRM-free tracks (service availability varies by region). Check out the Sonos website for the latest online music services. (Some online services require a paid subscription.) Music Library: The PlayBar supports playback of music from any computer or network-attached storage (NAS) device on your home network where you have shared music folders. The PlayBar can play music stored on up to 16 PCs, Macs or NAS (Network Attached Storage) devices on your home network, supporting the most popular audio formats. The PlayBar indexes your music folders so you can view your music collection by categories (such as artists, albums, composers, genres, or tracks). The PlayBar supports the following audio file formats - MP3 (compressed), WMA (compressed), AAC (MPEG4), iTunes, Ogg Vorbis, Audible (format 4), Apple Lossless, FLAC (lossless), WAV (uncompressed), and AIFF (uncompressed). iTunes Music: The Sonos PlayBar supports the playback of music and playlists managed with your iTunes account (playlists are limited to 40,000 tracks). The PlayBar can access your iTunes music files from your network computer or directly from your Apple iPod iOS device (4.0+) running the Sonos Controller app. Note: One Sonos component must be connected to your broadband router. If the PlayBar will not be located near your router, you can connect a Sonos Bridge (616BR100, sold separately) to the router instead; the Sonos Bridge will then wirelessly connect to the PlayBar. Sonos Controller: The Sonos PlayBar soundbar speaker allows you to control its audio setup, playback functions, and search features through the Sonos Controller software for Windows and Mac computers, or from the Sonos Controller app for Apple iOS and Android devices. Sonos Controller for Windows/Mac: The Sonos Controller software allows you to control the Sonos PlayBar from your computer. Simply download the Sonos Controller software from the Sonos website onto your Windows PC or Mac computer. The Sonos Controller software is compatible with Windows XP (SP3), Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Macintosh OS X (10.6 or higher) operating systems. Sonos Controller for Apple iOS/Android: You can also wirelessly control the Sonos PlayBar from your Apple iOS device (4.0+) or Android smartphone/tablet (2.1+) running the Sonos Controller App from the iTunes App Store or Google Play Store. Note: The Sonos PlayBar, computer, and Apple iOS/Android device must be connected to the same home network. Home Network Requirements: To access Internet music services, Internet radio, and any digital music stored on your computer or Network-Attached Storage (NAS) device, your home network must meet the following requirements: High-speed DSL/Cable modem, or fiber-to-the-home broadband connection for proper playback of Internet-based music services. If your Internet service provider only offers Satellite Internet access, you may experience playback issues due to fluctuation in download rates. If your modem is not a modem/router combination and you want to take advantage of Sonos' automatic online updates, or stream music from an Internet-based music service, you must install a router in your home network. If you don't have a router, you will need to purchase and install one before setting up your system. If you are going to use a Sonos controller application on an Android smartphone, iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, or other tablet, you may need a wireless router in your home network. Connect at least one Sonos component to your home network router using an Ethernet cable, and then you can add other Sonos components wirelessly. For best results, you should connect the computer or NAS drive that contains your personal music library collection to your home network router using an Ethernet cable. Note: The PlayBar is compatible with Sonos software versions 4.0 and later. If you are adding the PlayBar to an existing Sonos system, be sure to check for software updates before adding the PlayBar to your Sonos system. Automatic Updates: The Sonos PlayBar supports free automatic software updates so you will always have the newest features and music services to enjoy. Simply register the PlayBar and Sonos will automatically notify you when software updates are available. By simply pressing one button your system updates itself.

Sounds great and easy to connect to my TV - would give it a 5 star rating but the instruction manual is a little shy on operating instructions. Pros: Ease of connection Cons: Limited operating instructions in manual Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 New Sonos customer - very satisfied Written By Timbo813, Tampa, Fl on Monday, October 06, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I'm a first time Sonos user. I was a little skeptical because I had a Marantz surround sound system prior to Sonos. But I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with the sound. Pros: I love the ability to control the volume on each of your Sonos speakers from your phone. Cons: Little pricey, but worth it. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 simply amazing Written By morris t., Brooklyn, NY on Friday, October 03, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I'm new to sonos, and in love with it. This soundbar is simply amazing. Before buying it, i tried a cheap samsung, and realized that i got what i paid for. The sonos, while being much larger, sounds amazing, and integrates with my sonos setup. highly recommended. Make sure to buy the wall mount bracket if you plan on mounting it. Also, if you'll be mounting it above your TV (as i did), you may want to get longer power/optical cables. Pros: Sound quality is great. Setup is a breeze. wife-proof. Cons: a bit larger than your normal sound bar, so make sure it will fit nicely. included cables are only 6' which wasn't long enough for me. i bought a 10' fiber cable, and had to cut the jacketing off to get it to bend tight enough as to not show once the speaker was mounted. also bought a 10' power cable, and while it should have fit in the sonos, i had to notch out the plug a bit and gettig it to fit snugly was a challenge, as sonos' connector is slightly non-standard. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Incredible product and easy set up Written By BT, Westchester, NY on Thursday, October 02, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was looking at adding an out of the box home theater surround system because I didn't feel a large speakers in wall system was warranted. I had been looking at the Bose sound bar but when my TV/Home Theater installer told me about the Sonos being a cheaper (to start) alternative I decided to research the products and the company. Everything I read was exactly what I was looking for, wireless for mobile devices, sleek look, powerful sounds (eventually will add recommended Sonos subwoofer for added bass). I am very happy with both the looks and more importantly the functionality of the Playbar. The best option is to be able add wireless surround sound speakers to further enhance the listening experience. With the Sonos Bridge you create a HiFi system which allows you to take the wireless speakers to other rooms if you want to listen to music from your mobile device on a speaker. The mobile app to set up the system is so simple and has you up and running within minutes. If you have a Samsung Smart TV and are getting a message on the screen about wireless speakers google how to remove the message and on Sonos website it has each cable company listed and what you have to do using your cable remote to remove the message from ever popping up again. When I called and asked Crutchfield tech support they were unaware of how to fix it, when I discovered it on Sonos website I called Crutchfield back to give them the web address for the fix. Great purchase, highly recommend Pros: Good sound, easy set up, overall functionality when it comes to being to add additional Sonos speakers. Good company that was founded by smart technical folks. Cons: Subwoofer is needed to add more depth/bass to the sound. Over time after adding additional speakers it comes out to being more expensive than most other systems but that is because of the quality and wireless functionality. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Exceeded expectations Written By Mike, Tulsa, OK on Monday, September 22, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) New house wasn't practical for my 5.1. Was skeptical. Sound quality exceeded my expectation. I have bought from crutchfield four time over the last decade and will buy from again. Playbar is not as loud or clear as a nice Polk, Paradigm, or def tec system, but it wasn't meant to be. I may even say there is a diminishing return that you get by spending more. I did buy the sonos sub which was a just for me cause I like some bass. Love the sonos app to control. Very user friendly. Pros: User friendly. Good clarity and semi loud volume. Lots of control from the sonos app. Cons: Wish it had Bluetooth, but since it has the full control app, I'm ok without it. On the pricey side for a bar and sub. I think it should be $200 less, but truth be told l, I'd actually pay 200 more. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 This system ROCKS ! Written By Gulf Coast Imagery, Ft. Myers, FL on Tuesday, September 09, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought the Sonos PlayBar and the wireless subwoofer plus two Sonos 1 units to augment my Samsung 65" LED TV based on the positive reviews, although I was skeptical of the price - at first. My Crutchfield advisor steered me toward this unit after I explained my needs and wants, and his advice was spot on. All was well packed, and arrived in short order at my new home. Once my wi-fi was installed, setting up the system was a breeze. Using the Sonos desktop application on my iMac, I was guided through the set-up one step at a time, while the system's internal wi-fi network did a "handshake" with my home's wi-fi system. It even helped me set up the Sonos bridge to my modem - a seamless proposition. Once each step in the process is complete, the software guides you to the next.....and so on. Couldn't be much easier or idiot-proof. Even if you are challenged by technology, you should have no problem with this system. Install the app, follow the prompts, and you'll be enjoying music and movies in short order. You probably want to know how it sounds, too, right ? Well, all I can say is this is - hands down - the best I've ever heard. The Sonos One surround speakers and the wireless subwoofer compliment the play-bar nicely, and can be tweaked in any number of different ways according to your preferences. the SONOS team delivered a home run with this system. Just buy it - Crutchfield makes it easy. Pros: One optical audio connection to my TV, plug-n-play simplicity. Wireless capability is a big plus, as is streaming music from my Apple desktop via iHeart radio, iTunes, Pandora, etc.....it's all good. My pool parties will never be same again. Can add speakers to other rooms for multi-room jams - TV in one room, music in another part of the home. It's just awesome. Cons: Just wish SONOS would come out with an all-weather unit so I could stream music out to my pool & patio area ! 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Sonos PLAYBAR Written By Anonymous, Walla Walla, WA on Saturday, September 06, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Outstanding sound from a fairly small unit. This unit replaced a high-end center channel and bookshelf speakers and delivers better, clearer sound with virtually no wires. It is also very easy for family members to control since it syncs to the TV volume control. I struggled with the decision of the Bose SL1 unit vs. the Sonos playbar, but I am pleased with my decision. Pros: Simple, virtually no wires, easy set-up, great sound. Cons: Don't let the price scare you away. Was this review helpful?

I have tried out many sound bars and not been satisfied with any of them and was just about to give up on sound bars until I came across this one. This is a truly amazing sound bar not enough can be said VERY easy to setup and the sound quality is incredible. I was a little hesitant about the price but anything worth having comes at price. 100% worth the money!!! Would recommend this product to anyone!! Pros: Easy to setup and sounds amazing! Cons: NONE 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Sonos Playbar Written By MikeS, Houston, TX on Sunday, August 10, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have gone through several sounbars in the past year and have not been satisfied with any of them. I listened to the Sonos at a local electronics store and decided to order from Crutcfield and give it a try. I have to admit that if you didnt see the soundbar you would think you were listening to a full surround system; it sounds that good! It would be nice to have a few choices to connect to the tv but the wireless connection worked flawlessly. I would recommend adding the sub as I did to bring that added punch when you need it. Overall. it is a bit pricey when you add the sub but well worth it. I also tried the Bose soundbar which you cannot connect to your network, and the Sonos definitely out performed it in sound quality and features. Pros: Easy set-up and unbelievable sound from a soundbar. Wide range of wireless configurations. Cons: Limited wired connections. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Simple and Effective Written By Reviewer, Lake Worth, FL on Saturday, August 09, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased the Sonos Playbar for many reasons and have not yet been let down by any of them. I replaced a 5.1 surround system with this one device and barring a few intense movie action scenes, where a subwoofer and surround speakers really shine, I have had a much better TV watching experience. Because I do not have an Ethernet connection run to my living room, I also purchased the Sonos Bridge which made connecting the Playbar to my wireless network a breeze. Pros: Amazing sound Simple step by step setup Upgradeability Plethora of features Cons: A bit heavy on the wallet. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Sonos Speaker System Written By Tim T., Ithaca, NY on Friday, August 01, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I'm in the process of moving into a house from a downtown apartment. I have a decent surround sound system with a NAD T748 receiver with a complete Bose speaker layout. Since moving into the house I didn't want to have the mess of tangled wires all over the living room and putting them into the walls wasn't a option (plaster walls). So I decided after some research to give the Sonos speakers a try. I first purchased the playbar and 2 Play 1's. It took all of 15 minutes to have them out of the box and playing. They sounded great but they were missing the bass that I was accustom to from my previous set up. I decided to order the Sonos sub, added it to the system made a few adjustments and Wow ! Totally blown away by what this system. I have been a loyal fan of Bose sound systems for a long time ( my younger brother was a engineer for the company) and the Sonos components are top notch as far as quality and sound. Even though you are paying a premium price for each piece I'll tell you now that you will not be disappointed with the quality of sound or the fact that they just look so beautiful. A+++ to Sonos and a wonderful product. Pros: Easy and fast setup Amazing sound Quality sound and looks Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Sonos rock Written By APM, LA on Wednesday, July 16, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Easy to set up. Excellent sound Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Sonos Playbar w/ Play1 Surrounds Written By Jose C, Kansas City, MO on Monday, June 30, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was skeptical at first, but after going through the setup I was impressed, the system looks and sounds great and the system software was really easy to work with. Sonos did a great job with the user interface - it actually took longer for me to extract my old receiver and speaker wires out than to put the Sonos system in. Once that was done, I was able to point it to my Seagate UPNP back up drive which is where I back up my iTunes library and the Sonos was able to use that as a music source. Impressive... Pros: Easy to set up, sounds great - it's wonderful having a home theater system without having to string wires everywhere... Cons: Pricey... But after struggling thorough other home theater system setups, this was a breeze and worth it. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Nice Unit! Written By Terry, Pennsylvania on Sunday, June 29, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Sonos Playbar was easy to set up and has great sound with movies, tv and music. Really happy with this product. Price is a little high but the bottom line is you get what you pay for. Pros: Easy set up, listening to music from my computer. Cons: I did not know that once you set this up the Playbar has to be played all the time, even when watching Sprout with my grandsons! Was this review helpful?

Yes | No 5 out of 5 Sonos Sound Bar Written By Ed S., Westminster, Ca. on Tuesday, June 24, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After two tries at trying to make a Polk sound bar, and woofer work, I gave up and asked Chance at Crutchfield what system he might recommend. He called back and advised me to look at a Sonos sound bar, which had 45 very high ratings by satisfied customers. It was just the sound bar, no woofer, but cost $200 more. I thought "Wow. I'm getting less equipment, but it cost more," and now I know why, The Sonos sound bar BY ITSELF (no woofer) is far better sound! If later I want to add a woofer, or a Sonos Play 3, I'm sure it will enhance the sound. But time will tell. Right now I am delighted with our Sonos sound bar by itself! No Polk woofer vibrations that rattle the room and distort the sound, but still ample bass, and I can hear every word said by announcers doing sports without saying to my wife, "back it up, I didn't get what he just said." You get what you pay for! Pros: Everything Cons: None 8 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Excellent Choice Written By Roger P, Phoenix, AZ on Tuesday, June 10, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have been using a Surround Sound System that runs through a Receiver. Hands down this offers more options, better sound and easiest set up. While a little on the pricy side - it is worth every penny! Pros: 10X less Wires than a standard system Links to my internal Sonos System so I can now play my TV sound in any room I have a speaker Might not sound like much but if you are having a Super Bowl Party - it is nice to have the sound on the patio as well Easy set up - Plug it in the wall. Plug the cable in your TV and the other end into the playbar. Push the button to link to your Sonos System. Cons: Have not found any yet 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I've used it to play tv sound and to play music, and the sound is excellent. It was easy to set up and to use the app to control things. Pros: Sound quality, ease of use Cons: Price, not easy to access computer's music library without manually changing firewall settings 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 WOW Love it Written By Steve C, Long Valley NJ on Friday, May 09, 2014 This is terrific sound without the aggravation of setting up surround sound. Even better, since I generally want to "shoot the television" this is a critical part of our SONOS music system. On the other hand, I can also play the TV sound anywhere else around my home, which is great for things like GIANTS or YANKEES games. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The volume capacity is not the best, but it's more than good enough for any living room. Pros: Easy setup. Wireless remote with phone. Pandora and Spotify integration. Cons: Volume capacity. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Excellent Sound Written By Joe, Atlanta, GA on Friday, April 04, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This sound bar is really as easy to set up as everyone says. It literally walks you through the process. I have been using Sonos products for several years now but this is my first experience with the Play system. Considering that sound is transmitted wirelessly (at least for music), the sound quality is amazing. I don't think I could distinguish it from a wired speaker, and I am a trained singer. Even without the sub woofer (which I fully intend to purchase once they are in stock again) tones are rich and full. And I love being able to control my music from my phone or tablet. Yes, the price is on the higher side for its category, but I think what you get for the money makes it a great value. Pros: Easy set up, incredible sound quality, virtually wireless, flexible controls Cons: A bit pricey (but competitive) 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Expensive, but worth it. Written By BillD, Phoenix, AZ on Friday, March 28, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The Playbar is more expensive than a lot of other soundbars out there, but it's well worth the extra money. As with other Sonos components, the sound quality is quite good. And I really like the ability to stream music, in addition to doing TV sound. We liked our first Playbar so much that we bought a second one. Pros: Sound quality Build quality Ability to stream music from my network and/or from internet music services Ease of setup Cons: Price 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes | No 5 out of 5 Sonos Playbar Written By msilk, Amesbury, MA on Tuesday, March 04, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Love the soudn and very easy to setup. I was not aware that the optical cable would not work on TVs from 2007 or prior, so I am only using this for music at the moment. The issue with older TVs has to do with an HDMI port being used at the ssame time at the digital optical cable. Anything newer than 2007 apparently works fine - from what I have read. I will be upgrading the TV and building onto my Sonos system. Pros: easy set up Cons: Does not work on 2006 TV. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Playbar sounds great with tv and music Written By FromAZ, West Coast on Sunday, March 02, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I believe the playbar was well worth the price. the sound I get from the television and while playing music through the sonos app have been great. The sounds is crisp and clear. I replaced a Bose Cinemate series II 2.1 system, and the playbar definitely sounds better than the two stand alone Bose speakers. Pros: crisp sound, easily pairs with other Sonos speakers.. Cons: bass is ok...definitely need to upgrade to the sub to get the full experience. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Easy set up and incredible sound it doesn't get much better then this. What would make it better? It is a bit pricey, no DTS support, adding more then ONE optical connection, make sure your television will support full 5.1 or you'll need a optical spliter (more $$) or HDMI connections.

Yes | No 4 out of 5 Sonos Playbar Written By JG, Seattle, WA on Wednesday, February 12, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The Sonos Playbar integrates well with other Sonos components in the house once you set it up. Otherwise, for the price, I would have bought something less expensive with better sound. Pros: Esthetically pleasing. Easy to mount. Multiple orientation possibilities. Integrates well with other Sonos components. Cons: I cannot turn off the speakers on my 2013 Panasonic Smart TV (not too smart). Therefore, I cannot use my TV remote to control the Playbar. Having to use another remote device negates the "plus" of not having an additional remote. The setup process was not easy because I couldn't turn off the internal TV speakers and I fell outside of the setup procedures. Eventually, I figured out that I had to "lie" to progress through the set-up screens. Setup procedures need to be more robust. Expensive. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I was a little hesitant buying a system that required the use of the Internet. No problem at all. Setup was a breeze. I replaced a new polk 9000 soundbar. I was not that I didn't like it but I had issues. the range of the remote (either the supplied one or my cable box) was terrible. My TV is about 18' from my beds headboard. I always had to lean forward to have it operate properly. Crutchfield exchanged it even after I had the polk for almost 3 months. These guys are great! I love the Sonos. It sounds great (better then the polk) and the matching sub I also purchased was good enough. Great product. I will most likely add some speakers a little later on for other rooms.

Written By DC, Norfolk, VA on Sunday, February 09, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great enhancement to the TV, particularly when watching a movie at a higher volume. However, I've also added a SUB to the PLAYBAR and the difference is quite marked. The PLAYBAR is very good but the SUB adds another level. Pros: Takes minutes to set up (physically with cable; software with Droid) and I don't have to crawl around and into a cabinet for speaker cable connections. Cons: Cost. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

We own several PLAY:5 speakers, a PLAY:3, PLAY:1, the SUB, and a CONNECT:AMP. This was a great addition to our whole-home sound system! I love that when you turn on our satellite receiver, it automatically can switch on the PLAYBAR. Or, if you choose, you can watch the picture and play music. Perfect for watching sports while entertaining. Paired with the SUB it sounds fantastic. We do not currently have any speakers used to complete the surround setup. We'd like to add two PLAY:1 speakers down the road. Over all, another fantastic, easy to use, wonderfully addictive product by SONOS!

Yes | No 5 out of 5 Yes, Yes, Yes Written By Lee, Norman, Ok on Friday, October 25, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I did a complete remodel of our living room, new floor, new furniture and of course new A/V system. Our old system was a combination of airplay speakers and speakers running off AirPort Express. I've always loved the easy use of airplay but we had constant problems with the signal falling out. I wanted to go to a bigger system but did not want to go to wired speakers and receiver. I thought I would test out the Sonos with just the play bar to see how I liked it and could add the sub later. It turns out the sub has been sold out for quite a while but I don't think we even need it. The play bar alone is more than enough for our setup. I did however add two play one speakers for surround sound and couldn't be happier. Pros: Incredible sound quality Heavy good quality not cheap plastic Sonos iPad and iPhone apps are sweet Supports lots of music services.

I end up pairing it with a sonos sub to extend the low range but it sounds really good, even without the sonos sub. Not a huge fan of the single digital input via optical connection beings that my tv doesn't pass Dolby digital from hdmi inputs to its optical output. It jus means I had to incorporate a optical switch into my setup to obtain Dolby from my sources. I do love to sound of the bar though. Music sounds good. The sonos app is a really nice tool to bring all sorts of music to the play bar. Pros: Sound, size, look. Sonos app!

Recently removed my home theater consisting of Definitive Technology speakers and an Epik Empire Subwoofer. Decided to go the Sonos route. Purchased a Sonos Amp and Play 5, was extremely happy, so I purchased the Playbar and Sub. I tried different positions and ended up placing the sub under my chair, with no noticeable sound difference. I'm blown away by the sound quality of the playbar and sub. This was just what I needed. The playbar is very clear and I really like the voice enhancement and night modes. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I came so close to buying the B&W play bar which is great but this is a better value for your money. I use MOG mainly along with iTunes and some radio. All sound great, especially MOG. Since this purchase with the bridge I have ordered the sub and another play bar. Also plan to add a couple of play 3's. Pros: Simple, quality, options, ZZ Ward and Jessie J never sounded better.

The installation was seamless. After hooking the playbar to the TV and power, I simply connected it to my Sonos network like any other Sonos device. It was quickly discovered by my controller and then the controller walked me through the installation. The volume is controlled by my TV remote, so using the playbar with the TV requires no extra steps. My playbar also works with an Xbox and Bluray player that I have plugged into the TV via HDMI. I highly recommend this product, especially if you already have a Sonos network at your house. Pros: Easy to install and set up. Does not require another remote. Controlled with your TV remote.

Yes | No 9 questions already asked Show all answers Can the sound bar be mounted upside down and not work properly? In other words is the a upside down/ right side up? [ Chief sparkey Oct 13, 2014 ] 2 answers You just want to make sure that the front area that says Sonos faces you. I don't really anticipate the sound being off if you had it flipped around. The location of your power outlet and how the cord runs from the bar to the outlet could be an aesthetic issue I guess. [ Jason S Oct 13, 2014 ] We bought one for our summer house in Maine and it's worked well for almost 2 years now. I'm fairly certain you could mount this any way you want and it would still function properly. It's really just a big speaker that's solidly built, so it could be wall mounted, ceiling mounted, hung vertically, hung horizontally etc. The input/output jack connection area is at one end on the back side. [ ANDREW Oct 13, 2014 ] It seems I've lost my HD video after I connected and got my Sonos Plarbar up and running. Sound is great but cable video quality no longer HD... does that make sense to anyone? [ BradJ Jun 16, 2014 ] 3 answers Also, have you tried disconnecting your Playbar to see if the video quality returns to HD? Just trying to rule out whether this is some strange coincidence or not. Like Luis said, an optical connection from your TV to the Playbar shouldn't result in any signal loss from the cable box to TV. [ Jason S Jun 17, 2014 ] Could you elaborate on your connections? I assume you have cable box to TV via HDMI and then TV to Playbar via HDMI or Optical? In this configuration, I don't think the signal from cable box to TV should be affected by the connection from TV to Playbar. [ LUIS Jun 17, 2014 ] I did not have that experience. My HD quality is great.Maybe you need a better quality HDMI cable.I purchase all my cables Online at Cablemart-high quality at a very reasonable price.Good luck. [ GEORGE Jun 16, 2014 ] Can you control the volume of the PlayBar with my cable remote? [ Kevin Feb 13, 2014 ] 9 answers Yes you can. The playbar recognized my cable remote and tv remote immediately upon setup. I have used both to control the volume on the playbar. [ Michele Feb 16, 2014 ] Yes, works best is you are able to turn your TV's speakers off [ Paul Feb 15, 2014 ] Yes you can when installing the Sonos app on your smartphone or tablet there is a step to sync your cable remote [ FRANK J Feb 13, 2014 ] You can control the sound bar volume with your cable remote. It is a grand playbar. We are very pleased. I bought two wireless speakers for surround sound effect. If you adjust the sound of the speakers, it will also change the sound on the playbar. [ JERRY A Feb 13, 2014 ] Yes. We use Comcast and we can use the Comcast remote to adjust the Sonos Playbar volume. [ Jason Feb 13, 2014 ] Absolutely, the Sonos Ap will walk you through it in a few simple steps. You can use your Iphone, Ipad, or Android phone. [ RONALD J Feb 13, 2014 ] Yes, you can control the Sonos so umbra volume with any remote that is capable of changing the volume on your TV. [ Christopher Feb 13, 2014 ] Hi Kevin, I was able to with my cable remote, but I have a samsung tv and had to switch the speaker source on the tv to external speaker. The remote works the same with either source. I hope this helps. Bob [ ROBERT Feb 13, 2014 ] The answer is yes, you should be able to. Make sure your TV has digital optical output to connect it and then setup is pretty easy. Ideally you want to be able to then turn your TV speakers OFF and have the SONOS be the TV speaker when TV is on. I wasn't able to do that with my Samsung TV. Not a huge deal, but there are times when you're turning the volume up or down and your TV might say one level of volume but the SONOS is above or below that. Like I said, not a huge deal but fyi. Long answer for yes, you can control SONOS with your cable remote as the SONOS is technically your TV speaker and the cable remote is controlling the TV. [ Robert Feb 13, 2014 ] I'm interested in the Playbar but don't use Apple or Android products - are Sonos products useless to me? [ Daniel Feb 04, 2014 ] 9 answers Hi Daniel. I purchased the play bar and one of the speakers last year. The play bar itself will work with a compatible tv. However, it would not really be beneficial for you to purchase the speakers if you do not have music you want to play from a phone or tablet. If you just want better sound from a tv, then just get the play bar. [ JACQUELINE M Feb 05, 2014 ] The Sonos system can be used with your PC or Mac. They have software for both. Additionally, once the Playbar is set up with your TV there is no need for the software unless making changes or adjustments, or if you plan to play music with it. Hope this helps. [ William Feb 04, 2014 ] Just a few comments from a Sonos newbie - - If you plan to add Play:1's or 3's to complete your system then I believe that you need to set it up through the Bridge component which means you need the iOS/Android. I assume that you have a wireless network. - If you only are using a Playbar then you may be able to set it up just using your television. Others would have to answer that issue. - Have you considered getting an inexpensive, perhaps used, iOS or Android device? I have the Playbar and two Play:3's and love the sound. I also have a Play:5 and Play:1 in other rooms. The ability to stream play lists and radio stations to any of the setups is great. [ DOUGLAS Feb 04, 2014 ] Sonos products are controlled by Apple or Android devices. If you don't have a device that will control your system, yes it would be useless to you. Sonos products do not come with their own remote. [ RICHARD Feb 04, 2014 ] No, computers do it. [ SCOTT Feb 04, 2014 ] You can still control it with a windows PC or laptop [ ROGER Feb 04, 2014 ] The sound bar is still amazing without mobile devices. As long as you have wifi, sonos is a great product. One thing they don't mention is that you can link multiple speakers automatically to the sound bar to get surround sound. You still can control the speakers from any computer that is connected to the wifi and has the Sonos software. I have the soundbar and two Play 1's and am looking to get a Play 3. [ Aaron Feb 04, 2014 ] I'm a big fan of Sonos products; they can handle many functions. My primary use of my PLAYBAR is simply as a soundbar for my Samsung LED TV, connected to each other via an optical cable. It can also be used it as a speaker for streaming content with an Apple or Android product, but when used simply as a standalone soundbar (for your television), I think it's great. [ JAMES A Feb 04, 2014 ] With the wireless setup and multi-room capability there is still a lot of benefit to the Sonos Platform. Assuming you have a PC, you can still control the system with out an apple or android mobile device. However, the convenience and capability of being able to control the system from from a mobile device is definitely a big part of the overall experience. [ Brian Feb 04, 2014 ] Do the stateside models come with an international power supply 110/220 volt or only 110? I am currently in the US Military in Italy so for now I would need a 220 power supply. [ Tex Feb 03, 2014 ] 7 answers Hello again. SONOS replied... Hello Steve, All Sonos components (excl. the CONNECT:AMP, which features a hard-button to switch voltage) feature a power-supply which automatically switches to the correct voltage. 110-240v indeed means that you can use Sonos devices in Europe without any problem. Kind regards, Bjorn L (Employee) about 3 hours ago . [ STEPHEN Feb 07, 2014 ] HI Tex 1st, Thanks for your service in the US military. My Playbar plug input is labeled "100v - 240v". However I don't see any place where you would tell it which voltage you are connecting to. I see no mention in the owner guide either. I forwarded the question to the SONOS support site. [ STEPHEN Feb 03, 2014 ] I don't believe they come with 110/220 supply. How about one of those international power converter plugs? [ GEORGE Feb 03, 2014 ] Uncertain, I already returned my Playbar because it was incompatible with iPhone 5. [ GARY Feb 03, 2014 ] We checked on the back of our Sonos. Looks like it just allows for 110. Call or email Sonos to see if you can get the other voltage supply. [ CAROL L Feb 03, 2014 ] Sorry I do not know the answer! [ STEPHANIE Feb 03, 2014 ] Looking at the specs the Playbar is equipped with a universal power supply that can accept 100-240 V at 50-60 Hz. You might need an adapter to handle any differences between US and Italy with blade arrangement. [ DENNIS J Feb 03, 2014 ] I have heard some issues with the Sonos system (thinking of purchasing the Playbar with two Play 3 speakers) producing 5.1. It has something to do with the TV output maxing at 2.0. Is there a way around this to get a true 5.1 sound? [ Dan Jan 17, 2014 ] 4 answers I have not heard of this issue but I can say the sound is tremendous.When I watch a movie it's like I'm in the movie theater with surround sound. Well worth the investment.Hope this helps. [ GEORGE Jan 19, 2014 ] I would definitely be getting the sub with the bar and two play 3s for the rear speakers. I'll probably stay away from the front speaks for the moment due to $. I read on another site that an optical switch can be used to obtain the true 5.1, has anyone tried it yet? [ Dan Jan 17, 2014 ] The Sonos Playbar was my third attempt at purchasing this type of speaker for the TV (and the radio value as well.) I have never measure the output from the Samsung TV, so I can't specifically address your question. However, the Sonos system with the subwofer sounds great in my 20' x 20' living room. [ J N Jan 17, 2014 ] Hey Dan B, I have purchased many speakers in my day and I am very impressed with the output and sound from this product. But remember this is still a center speaker...I would recommend the left and right channel speakers as well as the rear left and right wireless. If you like more bass of course get the sub..I'm telling you the sound is better than going to a theater! Coolest thing about this product is you can control it from your IPad like i do...I think it is worth the extra money...Purchase it from Crutchfield..NO shipping or tax and if you don't like it you can always send it back w in 30 days...That is as good as it gets! RL [ ROBERT Jan 17, 2014 ] Do I have to have internet connection or will it work directly from my I pad without a cord? [ Scott Dec 16, 2013 ] 6 answers no you need wifi and its cordless from iPad [ ROBERT Dec 17, 2013 ] The Sonos Playbar is similar to all Sonos units. Software updates and Internet based music must have a hard-wired internet connection somewhere in the Sonos system in order for those signals to get to the Playbar. If you don't already have a Sonos system and have only the Playbar, then the Playbar itself has to have a wired connection to your router. You can also buy a Sonos bridge, which serves only as an Internet connection unit, for about $50. Once the bridge is plugged in to your router, all of your Sonos units, including the Playbar, will have wireless access to the Internet through the bridge. Once the Sonos system is up and going you can use your iPad wirelessly as a controller, but Sonos cannot access the Internet directly through your iPad. [ J J Dec 17, 2013 ] You need an internet connection if you wish to have an internet radio source like, Pandora or Spotify. Place and pug-in the sound bar. Then, connect the Sonos bridge to your wireless router via the provided ethernet cable, and then use the the controller app to find the sound bar. It's a quick, easy snap. It's very intuitive. The sound bar can be connected to your router directly, via an ethernet wire, but since they are including the Sonos bridge for free, you don't need it. Or, as stated, you sync it with your router wirelessly. The controller (there is no remote control) is accessed via an app on your computer, laptop, smart phone, or iPad. I have the controller loaded on all of them, so I can access the controller screen wherever I am or whatever I'm nearest to. By the way -- it sounds terrific! I have the sound bar linked with two Sonos 5s for surround sound, a Sonos 3 in the bedroom, and a Sonos 1 in the kitchen, too. It was EASY to install and link. Music and TV in less than 30 minutes from boxes to SOUND. [ CRAIG Dec 16, 2013 ] My experience is that you need the bridge. You hook the bridge up to your internet router (wherever that may be in your house) and then the playbar communicates through that. When I tried it without the bridge it didn't work. You can also probably call the company to make sure there is no other way, but I don't think there is. [ JENNIFER Dec 16, 2013 ] It will work from your i pad or i phone with an internet connection. It runs off the main Sonos system. I used an optical cord to connect with my TV. [ MICHAEL Dec 16, 2013 ] i use my ipad as the controller for all rooms (i have sonos speakers in different rooms through the house) i can control rooms form ipads or iphones. highly recommend. [ SAM Dec 16, 2013 ] I have a complete whole house Sonos system already installed to play my Pandora and Spotify tunes. If I hook up a playbar, can I stream the tv through it, while playing music through the rest of the Sonos network? And when the tv is not on, can I use the playbar as an additional sound component for my music? Or, does it have to be one or the other? [ Gary Dec 14, 2013 ] 16 answers I returned the sonosplay bar asI felt the sound was average for the cost. I believe you can use it the way you want and it will become part of your sonos system. [ CE Dec 16, 2013 ] You can listen to the tv with the sound bar and still use other sonos speakers on the network. When the tv is not on, it is another sonos speaker. If you are listening to the tv and decide to turn on music through the soundbar, the tv sound shuts off for the music. Sound is great. Has nice 'nighttime' volume feature on control and another to bring out voices. [ EDWARD L Dec 16, 2013 ] Hi Gary. I have a Sonos playbar and I have an answer to your question. You can use the Sonos playbar as an extra music component to your entire Sonos system to play your music. If you turn your TV on, your Sonos playbar will stop playing music automatically and converts to a TV sound bar, and the rest of your sonos speakers will continue to play music until you shut them off. However when you use the playbar as a TV sound bar, and shut the TV off, you have to "group" the playbar back in to play your music again (it doesnt do it automatically). Hope that helps Vinnie [ VINCENT J Dec 15, 2013 ] I also have a complete Sonos system, with a playbar. The answer to both your questions is yes. You just go to the "group" option in Sonos and select which componets you want to connect together and which you want to use independently at anyone time, like the TV. Hope this answers your question. JN BTW, after going through two other playbars for my TV, Sonos is the best, plus it can be part of house-wide audio system. [ J N Dec 15, 2013 ] Yes to both questions. If your Sonos system is set up to identify each room separately you can listen to music in other rooms while watching TV and listening via the soundbar. The soundbar should be connected to the optical audio out connection on your TV to get the TV audio but the soundbar just like the Connect 5, etc will pickup Pandora etc via the Sonos bridge linked to your computer. I have my apartment set up for Sonos network in every room including the soundbar and TV in the living room and it works great. [ PETER M Dec 15, 2013 ] Yes but hook it to your tv of choice through its optical vice the add sonos component thru sonos setting Tv can be streamed while playing music because renenber it's has potentially 32 channels to work with. Lastly if the TV is not on the playbAr can be used as an additional sound component for your music Hope this helps and if you don't have the sonos sub I would recommend it to get the full understanding of what your equipment is capable of (1 playbAr 1 sub & 2 play 1 = 5.1 sound) ! Either way enjoy the wonderful world of sonos [ EMEKA O Dec 15, 2013 ] Gary, Yes the playbar will become the speaker for the TV. In the setup you will infact keep the tv muted always. The other sonos components in your home can play other Music, while you watch tv. The playbar is just another sonos speaker when you are not using your tv and can stream music. Works really well and sounds great! [ SUNIL Dec 15, 2013 ] Yes and yes to your first two questions. And, when your TV is on and linked to your soundbar, you can extend TV sound to other selected units if you wish. [ PETER Dec 15, 2013 ] Gary, I use the playbar exactly as you outlined in your question. Once the playbar is hooked up to your TV and network you can do any of the following: - listen to TV on the playbar and simultaneously listen to music on other sonos components - listen to TV on any sonos component on the network - listen to music on the playbar Mike [ MICHAEL Dec 15, 2013 ] Yes, the Soundbar and its associated surround speakers can be used as your TV speakers or as a regular Sonos player. The Soundbar can be used for TV when the other players are streaming music. When the TV is on, the Playbar will automatically choose that as the source first but it can be changed to other sources. [ MICHAEL Dec 15, 2013 ] The Playbar senses when audio is present from the TV and plays that source. If the TV is off then the Playbar acts as an additional Sonos component. If both are on then the TV has priority. [ DENNIS J Dec 15, 2013 ] I've had the playbar for a few months. It works as an independent Sonos component. Play TV on it, and different sources on other speakers. The playbar will play any source you put it on, whether the TV is on or off. [ JULIAN Dec 15, 2013 ] Yes and yes. The sound bar is versatile. It can serve as a music speaker for your pandora, spotify, itunes, etc, or as a speaker for your TV. You can even blast your TV audio across the house if you were so inclined. [ ILENE Dec 15, 2013 ] Sorry, we don't know the answer to your question. Have you tried contacting Sonos directly? [ CAROL L Dec 15, 2013 ] Yes to the TV - it is a separate "room" the PlayBar and works great - both as the TV speakers and when I use it to play music...obviously, it cannot do it at the same time - play music AND be the TV sound. EnjoY! [ ROY Dec 15, 2013 ] Yes, you can have the TV delivering TV audio independent of your other Sonos devices, and then stream music through it when you want just music. The sound from it is amazing! [ JAMES F Dec 15, 2013 ] With all the other brands of soundbars out there-- how does really compare ? the price seems really steep [ obwong Nov 24, 2013 ] 11 answers I have an Energy Power Bar Elite as well as the Sonos Sound Bar. Both are quite good as soundbars but I selected the Sonos bar for a larger room (20 x 25ft) that functions as a personal gym where I wanted flexibility to play the TV, some work-out music, or internet radio. The Sonos unit sounds great in the large room and has sufficient base response on its own so I have not added the subwoofer at this time, but I may do so later. In short, the flexibility of the Sonos unit to play multiple sources of music in a larger room without having to add extra electronics or run extra wires was a perfect solution for me and it works quite well. [ DAVID W Nov 29, 2013 ] Get it....won't be sorry. Purchase the sub too...love the sound and the versatility. Stunning and rich sound! [ ANDREW Nov 26, 2013 ] I have Bose system and I don't notice any difference. I love how easy they integrate to existing systems and ease of use. Highly recommended [ DAVID E Nov 25, 2013 ] I bought another Bluetooth soundbar before I decided to purchase sonos and the main reason for that is because of the wireless connection without Bluetooth. If you use your phone to control Bluetooth sound bar then if you get a call or step out if the range, the music will stop. Sonos doesn't have that issue. Quality is great especially if you get the subwoofer as well. I know the price is steep but if you plan to expand your stereo system at your house with Sonos for all rooms, there is nothing better in the market than Sonos. [ ALEX Nov 25, 2013 ] The sonos soundbar is great. It's the access to 100s of thousands of radio stations that you are paying for. The whole system is great! I highly recommend sonos playbar!! [ VICTORIA M Nov 25, 2013 ] I have been a loyal customer with Crutchfield for over 15years because of their exceptional product line and outstanding customer service. Their 60 day guarantee is amazing and crucial when deciding to purchase a major piece of electronics. I have 3 SONOS sound bars in my home and I can honestly say that the sound quality is amazing. Great for movie and music playback. I would recommend this product and Crutchfield to any and everyone looking for a great piece of electronics. Plus their free delivery makes it all that easy to keep coming back. [ VERDONE Nov 25, 2013 ] We have had the Sonos soundbar for 4 months now and it has exceeded my expectations. The sound is crisp and clear and I highly recommend also purchasing the Sonos sub as this will compliment the soundbar. I've had energy speakers and sub before but this system is far better in my opinion. Read the ratings online and most people are very content with their Sonos system. I can almost guarantee that you will add more Sonos systems to your collection because they are that good and Easy to set up. [ JANET Nov 25, 2013 ] You have to remember that this is more than just a soundbar. It's also a wireless music streaming device and integrates nicely with other Sonos gear. The Sonos Playbar is the only soundbar I own so I have nothing to compare it to but I have nothing to complain about. It sounds great playing music and "voice" when watching TV. [ Frank Nov 25, 2013 ] Actually the price is very reasonable for the high quality sound you receive.Coupled with the great number of music options you won't find better value anywhere else. One of the best products I have ever purchased. [ GEORGE Nov 25, 2013 ] I've had my sonos sound bar since this spring and couldn't be happier with it. It may be pricier but I already have a sonos system in my house so to have it integrate seamlessly into my existing system. Even if you don't already have a sonos system the quality of sound and all the other things you can do with a sonos system makes it more than worth it in my mind. [ BENJAMIN J Nov 25, 2013 ] The sound quality and ease of setup and use I think are worth the cost. I did the setup in my 2 nd home loved it and then added it to my home. In fact I swapped out Airplay for Sonos wireless. Much more reliable and higher quality. Also bought the sub woofer which is a very good addition.

2011 Ford Explorer faces recall for seat recline mechanism

2011 Ford Explorer – Click above for high-res image gallery The 2011 Ford Explorer has gotten off to a hot start here in the States, with January retail sales up 244 percent.

Last night Tim and I attended a four course benefit dinner held at Sweetpea Bakery in Portland. Staff from Herbivore, Food Fight Grocery, Sweetpea, and some helpers prepared and served a most lovely and beautiful meal to forty people. The dinner was held for House of Dreams, a no-kill kitty shelter. The tables were each accented with a kitty knick-knack. This was the second benefit dinner we have attended so far (I posted about the first one here), and the food was delicious! I hope there are more benefit dinners to come. Thanks to Isa and all the good folks who made last night so special!
Here are a few shots of Sweetpea Bakery all decked out and ready for hungry vegans:
Tim and I were lucky and ended up sitting at a cozy table in the corner next to a window. I just didn't get a photo of that or us… Oooops!
Onto the food!!!!!! It was dimly lit inside so I had to use my flash, forgive me…
White Bean And Roasted Garlic
A puree of navy beans and sweet smoky roasted garlic with leeks and fresh herbs
Golden Beet And Shallot
Warm roasted golden beets and baby greens in a creamy vinaigrette with caramelized shallots and a handful of toasted walnuts
Autumn Plate
Cornbread and homemade sausage stuffed acorn squash, smoky grilled tempeh in a wild mushroom ragout served with garlicky green kale
Caramelized Apples
Warm apples in a caramelized maple sauce, served with crisp gingerbread shortbread and topped with homemade coconut based vanilla bean ice cream
Housemade hot chai – so good! My first time having chai, it's true!
The gingerbread kitties that were served with the dessert were so cute (and yummy). I was lucky enough to get two cookies, complements of the sweet Jess from Get Sconed. Thanks Jess!!!!! Oh, I mean three extra cookies because Josh from Herbivore snuck us a few extras as well!!!! I love cookies, so it's okay.
This was an amazing dinner; Tim and I really enjoyed ourselves. Thanks to all the people who organized the dinner and prepared and served us an awesome meal!
