Opinions on the Sub were context-dependent: several reviewers said the Arc works well alone, but bass-focused listeners and movie fans benefit noticeably from adding a Sub.
Pros: Multi-speaker pairing reliability, Spotify Connect reliability
Cons: Gaming HDMI passthrough, Video passthrough support
Bass is punchy and satisfying for the size, but reviewers agree deep rumble usually requires adding a Sonos Sub or choosing a larger setup.
Pros: Multi-speaker pairing reliability, Voice recognition accuracy
Cons: Bluetooth connectivity, Video passthrough support
Subwoofer integration was context-dependent: some reviewers heard dramatic bass improvements, while others preferred the Era 300 pair alone or criticized Sub Mini articulation.
Pros: Control button responsiveness, Smart features
Cons: Chromecast compatibility, Google
Bass impressed some reviewers for the Beam's size, but the most repeated caveat was limited low-end rumble unless a separate Sonos Sub is added.
Pros: Dynamic headroom, On-device controls
Cons: Video passthrough support, Bluetooth connectivity
