Sound bars don't immediately benefit from Wi-Fi connectivity the way music systems do, because you usually use them with your TV, and your TV isn't something you need to put in your pocket and walk around with. But that doesn't mean that Sonos' wireless music features don't benefit from its first sound bar. Just the opposite, in fact. Read More >>

Sonos is aiming to revolutionise home theater audio by taking all the high quality sound you need and want, and cramming it all into one big ol' soundbar you can drop at the bottom of your TV. Sure, it'll work with other Sonos units you have hanging around, the Sonos Playbar is also a starter piece that can stand alone. And for a soundbar, this sucker sounds good. Read More >>

Sonos is bad-ass: Brainless setup, a seamless backend that affords easy access to all of your music (be it streaming or locally-stored), and good sound from its standalone networked jukeboxey Zone Players. Notice the term "good sound." Not "great sound." While the self-contained S3 and S5 sound very nice, they're simply too compact to deliver rump-shaking beats. Read More >>
