What reviewers say

Reviewers agree it adds deeper, controlled bass to smaller Sonos speakers and soundbars in a discreet design without cabinet vibration. The shared criticism is the price, hard to justify alongside cheaper speakers such as the Ray; What Hi-Fi? found its bass range narrow and the integration uneven, and TechRadar found the effect subtle out of the box.
