Slab like design (we’re quite taken with it)
The Sonos Playbar could not have been designed better. It’s a beefy 5.4 kilos and 90cm wide

There’s little to fault the Sonos Playbar...except for one thing. All this comes at a cost. The Playbar price rings in at an eye-watering £599. When you can get respectable rivals for less than £100 (albeit
Rivals without streaming music services built in)
That’s a tough call to make. And if you want to lash it up as part of a full Sonos surround sound set-up
That’ll be another half grand for
Optical connection
Not HDMI
Expanding the system is pricey
You'll need a big TV to match the pure width
Doesn't push sound into the room as much as it could
Well first of all, I wish the Sonos Playbar has a remote control of its own. It was frustrating having to switch on and unlock my phone, look for the app just to adjust the volume. Having said that, I can't say anything bad about the sound quality. It rea...

Precio, Gasto adicional del Sonos Bridge para una mejor experiencia, Frecuencias bajas sin mucha profundidad, Necesidad de un dispositivo externo para configurar
Abstract: On le sait, c'est un fait accepté par tous maintenant, les TV actuelles, de plus en plus fines, ont un son déplorable. Si certains s'en accommodent encore, beaucoup d'entre vous sont à la recherche, presque graalesque, du bon son pour regarder le Blueray...
Un packaging soigné Un design et des finitions de qualité La complémentarité Playbar & Sub, Un son spatial et puissant, Une fiabilité à toute épreuve,
La faiblesse de la connectique, La configuration désespérante, Un mode Surround peu convaincant, Une interface de gestion indigeste, Un rendu musical perfectible
Si beau et bien packagé le combo Playbar & Sub est un duo d'enfer qui apportera une nouvelle dimension sonore à votre salon. Néanmoins, la complexité de la prise en main et la légèreté de sa connectique en font des objets réservés aux fans de la marque...
