What customers say about "Features"
Sonos PLAYBAR Wireless Soundbar
- Soundbar was extremely easy to install on wall with their mounting bracket.
- The Playbar was easy to install and integrate with my Play 3's to get the surround sound effects.
- The installation is very smooth (specially if you already other Sonos devices). The sound quality is pretty good and automatically becomes integrated with other Sonos components.
- The soundbar is a great unit. The bar actually contains the center channel and the two front channels.
- Soundbar works great, but my tv like many others doesn't output Dolby digital 5.1. Had to buy an hdmi switch and now have Dolby digital 5.1 from all decices.
- Disappointing soundbar. Thought it would be a great purchase and am already invested with a bunch of other Sonos gear. Bought the Playbar and two Play:1s since Sonos says they can work together to do 5.1 surround.

What customers say about "Connectivity"
Sonos PLAYBAR Wireless Soundbar
- Easy wireless connection with Bluetooth for Pandora or other iphone media.
- This is an amazing product. I connected the playbar into a pre-wired LAN jack in my family room (routed through a ethernet switch to the LAN jack) to my cable modem (located in a separate room).
- A really good concept with only one major hole in it. As others have mentioned, there's only an optical in and not an hdmi in.
- It doesn't have bluetooth or the capability to connect to my devices over wireless for anything other than music.
- Minor limitation may be the optical audio input for 5.1 as newer HDTVs are tending to HDMI and may not have an optical output.
