Product details

Movies, sports, TV shows, games - when your TV is on, the sleek, flat Playbase delivers dynamic, captivating sound. And when it’s off, it streams your favorite music.

The typical soundbar works best when mounted directly under the TV on the wall. However, most TVs are actually placed on a stand or furniture. That’s exactly why Sonos developed the Playbase. With its ultra-slim design, it fits perfectly under any TV while still filling the entire room with spectacular home theater sound.

It comes with a power cable and an optical cable for your TV. The Sonos app guides you step by step through the setup, so you don’t even have to read the manual.

Send your TV sound to any room. The Playbase brings movies, sports broadcasts, TV shows, and music to life - but only in one room. Add more Sonos speakers to hear your TV sound in other rooms as well.

The Playbase features ten amplified internal drivers - six mid-range drivers, three tweeters, and one subwoofer. This replaces the sound of your TV speakers with rich bass, crystal-clear dialogue, and stunning sound.

Quickly browse your music services for your favorite songs, send them to different rooms, and adjust the volume and other settings for each room individually. Sonos plays everything: the most popular music streaming services, free internet radio stations, podcasts, and audiobooks, as well as your collected downloads. Whatever you love to listen to. With Trueplay, you can set up your home theater however and wherever you want - so it always sounds great, everywhere.

Rank 8 out of 18Stiftung WarentestEin Feuerwerk für die Ohren - SoundbarsReleaseNovember 2017

Voll auf App. Für WLAN und Multiroom-Betrieb. Steuerung nur per App. Klingt ausgewogen und gut, liefert sogar etwas Tiefbass und gefällt besser als ihre Schwester, die Playbar von Sonos. Kein Bluetooth. Erweiterungs-Set für Raumklang für 418 Euro, Bassmodul für 735 Euro.

Unsere vier Testkandidaten stellen allesamt spannende Neuerscheinungen mit cleveren Features dar. Die Bestnote und Kaufempfehlung verdient sich hierbei Nuberts brandneues nuPro AS-450. Auch wenn man hier keine Multiroom- oder Surround-Features findet, glänzt das Prunkstück der Schwaben mit feinstem Stereoklang, wie man ihn sonst nur aus großen Standlautsprechern zu hören bekommt...

800 Euro für diese flache Lautsprecher-Kiste? Das erscheint viel, relativiert sich aber bei näherer Betrachtung: Die Playbase ist bis ins Detail fein verarbeitet, und die Konkurrenz ist entweder klanglich schlechter oder bei der Musikwiedergabe weniger vielseitig. Oder alles zusammen. Wer unauffällig guten Klang fürs Fernsehen und zum Nebenbei-Musikhören sucht, findet kaum was Besseres.

Klagen auf hohem Niveau: Stünde die Sonos Playbase nicht neben dem Vorgänger Playbar, wäre bis auf das Pumpen wenig an ihr auszusetzen. Für 800 Euro bekommt man ein klangliches und optisches Update fürs Wohnzimmer und wird wahrscheinlich auch die alte Stereoanlage in Rente schicken...
