Overview
Owners of a smaller TV setup get a compact Sonos soundbar that improves dialogue and music without taking over the stand. It links to the TV by optical cable, streams over Wi-Fi from the Sonos app or AirPlay, and joins other Sonos speakers for multi room audio.
Two cable setup and Sonos streaming make it an easy way to get clearer dialogue and music from one small box. Its single optical link and stereo layout limit it to modest rooms without true surround.
Who it's for
Small rooms and TV stands with little space, especially in homes already using Sonos. People wanting immersive surround or a wall mounted bar should look at bigger models.
Pros and cons
- Compact enough for tight TV stands
- Setup with two cables and app
- AirPlay 2 and Spotify Connect
- Works with your TV remote
- Optical only, no HDMI listed
- Stereo, not surround
- Shelf mount, not a wall bracket
- Not water resistant
Performance notes
Sound width comes from the front facing drivers and Sonos tuning inside a small cabinet, so it fills a modest room but cannot match a larger bar in a big space. The optical link carries TV audio cleanly, while music streams over Wi-Fi independent of the TV.
