Sonos Sub Gen3 Review: The Ultimate Addition to Any Sonos System!

Purchases made through some store links may provide some compensation to us.

The Sonos Sub Gen3 is one of the newest additions to the Sonos line up. It is very similar to the almost 8-year-old Sonos Sub Gen2, but with a few slight improvements!

The Sonos Sub Gen3 complements all of the Sonos soundbars very well! I use it with my new Sonos Arc, and it completely enhances everything about the Sonos Arc.

Basically, the Sub takes over almost all of the low-end audio and lets the soundbar focus on the mid-range and high frequencies.

This is the second of your videos I seen, is pretty cool that you didn’t take credit for the other guy’s finding 👍🏼, pretty honest on your behalf, excellent review.
Just got the Arc my self and after the holidays I’ll get the sub, you sold me on it

The design is truly revolutionary. This goes to say that a subwoofer doesn’t have to look like a subwoofer. 👍🏻👍🏻

I have the Arc and 2 Sonos One SL's for my surround sound . My sub comes in on Tuesday. Can't wait!!

One of the smoothest sounding setups you can own - Beam + 2 Sonos One’s + Sub. Easy setup and room calibration, amazing 5.1 sound if you stream your content.

i just bought a sonos set up the sound bar, 2 one s l's rear speaker and a sub. i hooked up the sound bar and the base coming out of the sonos sound bar was more base than my last set up gave me. I'm waiting 4 my sonos sub and rear speaker cant wait to hook the up to c how much better it is.. because right now i didn't expect the sound bar to b this good on its's own. well worth the money i spent.

I recently got the Arc + 2 Ones & Sub and it’s bloody brilliant. Clean look and sound. Much recommended. 👍🏻

The drivers move in sync to cancel out vibrations (both out or both in), if they moved the way you describe at 2:32 they would be out phase and cancel each other out and you wouldn't hear anything. It would also increase vibrations if they moved in the same direction.

Your reviews are so relaxed to watch man! I swapped my beam for the new Arc and now thinking about adding the sub to the collection as well. Thanks voor the vids!

Happy to see you mentioned your problems with a Nakamichi system… After trying for about three weeks starting Thanksgiving .. I experienced the same popping and drop out due to the wireless sub.
Technical support was excellent and they even sent me a new sound bar but it did not rectify the problem… So I returned the whole system which I had purchased on Amazon. once I get a new TV to replace my eight year old Visio I will revisit adding a sound bar. I will have to listen to the Sonos set ups live prior to making a decision… Due to the cost

Just recieved my Sonos Arc with this sub and two Sonos One SL yesterday. Can't wait to set this system up and try it out in my livingroom.

Enjoying your reviews and also kudos to you for giving credit to your fellow YouTuber Peter Pee. I’ve been watching his videos and yours relating to the Sonos Arc etc. Great job 👍🏻

I loved this review, I appreciated that you was so simple, no magic words at all Just normal stuff is it really good, is it really worth I just got my sub Gen3, for couple reasons I didn’t get my arc yet!!! But I can’t wait to get it and put them all together and shake my place

[andysouthwell]

Great review. Was considering getting the 1sl's first to go with my Arc but think I'll go for the sub next instead after hearing the comparison at the end of your review. You and Peter Pee are the 'go to' YouTubers for all things sonos. Thank you.

You are wrong on the drivers. They move towards each other. If they were to move the way you described it would make even more vibrations.

That is how they cancel out each others momentum.

Try recording the woofers with your phone on slow motion and you will see.

[Targetter]

Great review, answering all questions one might have. Great work! Thanks.

[elyorkin]

I wish everyone would describe the product as well as you!

[DWilliam]

Peter Pee rocks. However, even though there are some slight performance differences(very slight) between the Gen3 and Gen2, he feels that the Gen 2 might appeal to more people because it has a slightly better and consistent arc above 40mhz. The Gen 3 has better performance below that down to 20mhz.

[nicholasnalle]

Thanks man I really like your reviews I like how you explain like all the little details about everything It's really helpful

[ivanfranco]

Everything is perfectly explained, great video as usual

[RajGheevarghese]

Kudos man, I thought you would ignore Peter Pee, credit where credit is due, respect man! Honest guy!
