Overview

A black Sonos subwoofer rated at 245 watts, built for floor standing placement and wireless connection into a Sonos Wi-Fi speaker system.

Sonos subwoofers are designed to join a Sonos speaker or soundbar over the same Wi-Fi network rather than a wired RCA connection, which is consistent with the Wi-Fi only connectivity listed here. The 245 watt rating and floor standing mounting point to a unit meant to sit on the floor near a TV or listening area rather than tuck onto a shelf. A couple of the listed figures, including driver size and weight, do not line up cleanly with the product's stated dimensions and are left out here rather than repeated as fact.

  • Black finish
  • Floor standing mount
  • Wi-Fi connectivity
  • 245W rated power

Who it's for

Fits households already running Sonos speakers or a Sonos soundbar and wanting to add low end wirelessly without new cabling. Not a fit for anyone wanting a subwoofer that connects by RCA or line in cable, since this one is Wi-Fi only.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Wireless Wi-Fi connection to Sonos system
  • Floor standing design
  • 245W power rating
Cons
  • Wi-Fi only, no wired input
  • Requires an existing Sonos speaker or soundbar to pair with

Performance notes

At 245 watts and built for floor placement, the sub is sized to sit near a TV or seating area and join the rest of a Sonos system over Wi-Fi rather than a cable run. Because it pairs wirelessly, setup runs through the Sonos app rather than a physical hookup to a receiver.
