Clearly, it can be wirelessly integrated into the proprietary system via Bridge, the Sonos base station, or can be directly integrated into an existing network via its LAN sockets. So much was foreseeable for all connoisseurs of the highly successful, multi-room-compatible Sonos system.

In addition, the Americans have created an ingenious, one-piece home theater speaker system that can be heard singing within a closed Sonos world by a combination of two Play: 5 speakers plus subwoofers. And even this costly combination still does not have that room sound technology. It is based on three channels that are brought to life by three tweeters and six mid-range speakers. The two tweeters of the left and right channels, which are arranged on the outside, are directed obliquely to the side wall, in order to create a greater impression of space through reflections.
This makes the PlayBar a plastic surround sound reproduction and can reproduce the listening stage in stereo somewhat more spacious than the compact case can be expected. The highlight, however, is a very voluminous bass reproduction, which one would never expect from such a slim soundbar without subwoofer. And the homogeneity in the mid / high range is the best that is offered in this area.
So the PlayBar is suitable both for watching movies and for listening to music. If the offered bass is not enough, the remarkable bar can even be combined with a network subwoofer. This also benefits precision in the lower octaves.
The setup is simple and the free Sonos app can even stream songs from the music archive of iPads or iPhones to the soundbar. An app is also available for Android devices. There is even a fast forward. Especially when using several listening zones the handling of the app is convincing. For local control, the PlayBar still has a well designed remote control. Nevertheless, the Sonos is a network through and through because of its lack of audio inputs (only one optical digital input is available).
