One thing about the Sonus subwoofer is its "bespoke" design is very interesting and innovative. It's a good performer though maybe a little pricey, and with the recent release of the RLS Speedwoofer under $500 as a seious contender to subs twice its price. But I cannot knock Sonus products they are very good and probably have the best wireless system out there.

So I felt same when I got mine. I did TruPlay set up and then just played about 20 songs at med to high volume. It adapts and learns and now I am getting the thump!!
So keep playing with it.. mine sounds amazing now

Hi there, I have the Sonos Gen 2 bass with a stereo pair of Sonos Ones. The ground trembles. The bass is incredibly powerful. Either your copy is defective or the pairing did not work properly. I'm considering upgrading my Sonos Ones to the Era 300 myself... I also use Ones in the other rooms. Can you clearly hear the difference between the Ones and the Era 100? Because here, too, I am considering upgrading to the Era 100.

Not sure why you're not getting the deep bass from the Sub Gen 3. Even when I got one sub I get so much bass at level 2. Now that I got a second Sub Gen 3, my neighbor are complaining even more 😂😂😂 Its probably the placement of the sub. JBL Partybox 1000 vs Sonos are totally different output when it comes to sound. DJ Speakers vs a HiFi Audio system!!! Definitely can't wait to get the ERA 300.

Bass is actually directional maybe you need to change the placement of the sub (or placement of you) I have the Gen2 its set to plus 1 and is extremely bassy given a bit of volume

Really weird spot to test sound for sub video.. Place in the normal daily spot, big difference.

[alexandergoyins]

In recordings like this it is not well appreciated but it is still heard quite well.

[David.lovesU]

I love your video... straight to the point

[angelgalarza]

I agree with all that you have said my friend 🙌🏼🙏🏼

I don't listen to a lot of music with my Sonos Beam/sub/One SLs or Arc/dual sub/Fives. It is mostly cable TV and series/movies on major from streaming services. I didn't realize I was handicapping the Sonos system by not setting the HDMI to bitstream on my LG OLED C1 series for full Dolby 5.1/Atmos. I had to turn my subs down because they were too much bass kicking me in the chest.

Could it also be a phone setting or the audio format that may not be taking full advantage of the sub? Was the music selection over bluetooth or internet streaming? I would test using spatial audio music from different genre. Hip-Hop and R&B/soul usually have some serious bass and sub included compared to Pop, Rock, or Alternative.

I couldn't tell from Best Buy demos in person, or your demos, but i'm wondering how low they get. I listen to a combination of music. Mostly more modern hiphop where bass typically can go lower than most other genres. I'm talking about real Trap, Drill, and hiphop. I was considering this sub for a TV/ stereo for when guests come over without having a complex home theater setup. But, if It can't even go below 30hz, I wouldn't be very impressed. I'm a guy that loves bass, and if a subwoofer can't even get lower than 30hz without dropping off dramatically, then it isn't a true subwoofer.

Thanks for the review. Considering eventually getting this or the mini to pair with my Sonos Arc.

[justiceify]

I used the sub and era 300 as well and they do sound better without the sub I aslo tried them with the sub mini and that was a better experince but the best sound is when they are paird with the arc and sub then you will most deffinetly feel the sub

[georgevillalvazo]

Did you do triple play before playing I guess
?🤨

[arn]

Thank you for the review
For me the Gen3 is more suited for home cinema
It’s not the same listening as for exemple a phantom Devialet where the bass hits more, that’ s cool to party all night
Whereas the gen3 is more subtle, and fills all the room.
I may be wrong but gen3 is more for small to medium room, more subtle

[joe_limon]

For the price, I would rather buy a second set of speakers in order to get bass coupling

[dean]

Really dont know whats happened there but I have the gen3 sub and putting the bass levels that high should have kicked you in the chest. I have 2 x era 300 as surrounds with arc and gen3 sub but also a pair of 300's with sub mini in the home office for music, and actually find the sub mini being an enclosed not ported sub better for music. The gen 3 is designed for home theater

[csmyrski]

I have the jbl bar 800 and the arc/300”s, sub 3 .
The jbl is more in your face but imo the Sonos is far more refined and better quality . I like both . 2 different sounds.

[TheMarafunman]

Have you tried tru play for this set up?

[Jahn]

Jbl 😂the Sonos produce real bass not artificial sound like jbl.that S how a real sub should act not making it vibrating
