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
- Wireless Wi-Fi connection to Sonos system
- Floor standing design
- 245W power rating
- 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.
