Sonos Sub Mini full review and the Sub Gen 3 should be very afraid…

At USD429, it is close to half the price of the Sub Gen 3 before this, but the performance is coming so close... it almost feels like a replacement.
Before this, my MVP product from the Sonos line up is either the Sonos Amp or the Sonos Sub. But both of those products cost quite a pretty penny. This comes within striking distance and while they still currently hold their place, the sub mini is now the the MVP of Sonos lineup in terms of value.
For some people, you will still need the Sub Gen 3 because you have a bigger space to cover, but for most of us with an average room, this sealed sub will actually suffice.

Hi Peter! Well done, great review. I bought both the Sub Gen 3 and the Mini, deciding to keep the Gen 3 because it is more performing for watching movies, with more present and thunderous bass. So I returned the Sub Mini. The sub is in a surround system together with Beam 2 and 2 One SL, all in a 25 square meters room. In daily listening I realize that, perhaps due to the small environment, the Gen 3 is very invasive, not so much for watching movies, but especially for listening to music, where sometimes it is almost too present and leads me to lower it by a couple of points. Now I'm thinking of buying a Sub Mini again to retest it properly because it makes no sense to have so much power if I then have to lower it, better than to increase the smoother bass of a Mini, also considering the physical dimensions and the better aesthetics of the smaller sub.

I pinched the sub mini from my living room setup (beam plus one surrounds) for my cinema room setup (just replaced Panasonic sound bar + Panasonic sub with an Arc) temporarily until I get my Sub Gen 3 (just have to sneak the spend past the wife)- it's a fairly large room - around 5x7 meters with a cathedral roof - but the mini does an admirable job. Fortunately my neighbors are a fair way away so no issues there, so I will definitely go sub gen 3, but for now it's very enjoyable.

As always, an amazing Video Peter! Keep Up the Good Work. I was wondering about the correct orientation of Sub-Mini and the slot. It is Advertised (At Least Most Photos) with the slot facing toward to the listener, but the connect button on all sonos are at the back. Does this means that the slots are facing sideways and not at front? Did you manage to play around with different directions and if so, does it have different impact to acoustics?
@PeterPee
@PeterPee Год назад
There is definitely a difference. I am trying to get enough time to make a video on that. Please be patient. For now, just use what you feel sounds ok to you. In most product shots, they have to show the slot. If not it looks really bland and plain. The sub mini is almost featureless on most sides.

Hi Peter! I found your channel as I'm looking into buying my first Sonos speakers, and your videos are definitely the most informative on RU-vid. I might have a strange use case, so was hoping to get your opinion. My wife and I use the same room for music and movies. You've convinced me that a pair of the Fives is the best solution for music, but I'm not sure what to add for movies that doesn't compromise too much. With a pair of Fives in stereo setup, would adding a Beam as the center channel be comparable to an Arc for movies?
@PeterPee
@PeterPee Год назад
It doesn’t really work that way. The beam and the pair of ones will be set as different rooms and while you can group them to play together, the fives will only come up as stereo sum mix. So the surround effect is not going to be as pronounced. But if you pair the fives as surround, it will definitely sound a lot larger than the arc on its own.

This is something I have been wanting for a while, I am so glad I did not get another Sonos sub. We have multiple Sonos devices and only one sub in the living room. I have wanted another for the bedroom. I even moved our Sonos sub there for a while, but it did not work out well. Too loud if my wife fell asleep, and too pricey to only be used sometimes. My wife also is not thrilled with the size and finish. This seems to check off all the boxes.

Hi Peter, Great see see the cylinder in the flesh 😃... I have been rocking SUB Gen2 in my living room for years... I then utilize a Gen 3 in the bedroom where the room volume is much smaller. The Gen 3 is still on trial from Sonos. Would you recommend i return and Trade "down" for the mini?? In addtion, have you identified if Trueplay on the mini suffers from the simular DB depreaciation when comparing it in your RTA measurments?
@PeterPee
@PeterPee Год назад
I can't compare the Trueplay before and after for the Sub Mini. And so far, I have done trueplay on but one setup, which is a Sonos One stereo with sub mini. It seems to be ok.

And I think you should return the Sub Gen 3 and get the Sub Mini for the smaller room.

Hey, Peter, new subscriber and also just ordered my first Sonos setup - Arc, 2 One SLs and the Sub-mini. It looks like I made (I’m hoping) the right decision to go with the Sub-mini for my condo. One quick question not really relating to the Sub-mini per se: I want to connect one device to Ethernet. My Arc will be right above the router while the Sub-mini will be about 5 feet away. Would I be better off connecting the Sub-mini to Ethernet to avoid interference? I thank you for all your hard work on the reviews.
@PeterPee
@PeterPee Год назад
No difference there. Connect to the Arc for the cleanest layout. You won't notice any interference as opposed to traditional amps. Most modern audio equipment and receivers are well shielded.

Just got the sub mini and paired with my beam gen 2 and 2 SL Ones's. My room is 12.6 by 20.6 ft. Trying to explain the quality of sound is a little difficult. The bass doesn't take over it just becomes immersive and blends seamlessly with the rest of the speakers to give a sound quality that is truly remarkable. If you want a bass that's going to shake and rattle the walls this is not what you need, get the sub gen 3. But if it's quality sound for movies and music that is just right this is the speaker for you. Many said adding the sub mini makes the beam gen 2 sound even better as it is not trying to put out bass and just worries with the mid-range and highs and they are spot on. This is one of the best purchases I have made to complete the sound with my sonos system.
@PeterPee
@PeterPee Год назад
Yes. What you are describing is like perfect bass/sub integration. Sealed subs are a little easier to integrate. And when well integrated you will find yourself wondering how come all the bass is coming out from the sound bar or speakers. You won’t be able to localised where the sub is.

Bought it after watching your video. Solid buy, yes. Absolutely. Living room of 20x20ft, paired to a Beam2, there's more than ample bass to go around and my equalizer is only set to+3. Mini? What mini? The bass "boom" is felt at all rooms in the house... and also by my neighbours. I have to turn on night mode after 11pm.

I just got the Sub Mini and oh boy why didn't I get that way before!? It's one of the best investment I have done to my Sonos system. I have paired to two Play:1 and the music and bass from that system had put a great smile on my face when listening to music. The music just sounds so much better! And the bass is touching! Got damn, so much fun and joy to my ears. Will recommend everybody to get the Sub Mini to really take their Sonos system to the next level!

great review! Now I'm more than tempted to add it to my Arc + Sub Gen 1 + One rears. Remembering your videos on how a second Sub does add the experience. Would a mini add more "variety" than adding "just" a second usual Sub? Still waiting for the day where we can add Ones/Fives as front.

Great review thanks. I have what may seem like a silly question but here goes………I intend to buy the sub mini soon, but unfortunately my layout means that my tv is in the corner of a square room, so my sub will be in one of those corners also. Would you face the open slot so that as you look through it you can see the corner, or would you have the slot so that each side faces a wall? I am thinking that this could make a big difference to the sound, and just wondered what your thoughts were? (If this makes sense lol).

Hi Peter, very good video. I've never been satisfied with the Sub G3 (no trueplay since I'm running Android) because the bass (at least for me) is sloppy, slow, and boomy. Do you think the Sub Mini solves this? I paired it with an ARC. Thank you
@PeterPee
@PeterPee Год назад
I think it might depend on your room and placement too. Free the Sub Gen 3 up by allowing it more space around. Move away from the walls and corners. See if that helps before you decide to buy something else to solve it.

Thanks for the great video. Did you test out any different placement positions for the sub mini? I know the full Subs can be “hidden” behind sofas etc. Is it the same for the mini (albeit I realise the design would prevent hiding it on its side under a sofa or a unit like you can with the full Sub)? Thanks

@PeterPee
@PeterPee Год назад
Can't be placed sideways. The only position is upright and standing on its feet. I have placed it a few different places. Mostly it is pretty forgiving but I found it boomy when I placed it under my desk. After moving it out from under the desk, it definitely tightened up the bass a few notches.

@hollas5948 Год назад
Peter: I think you may have mentioned this in a prior review; however, am I correct that the new Sub Mini cannot be paired to an existing Sub Gen 3 (or 2 or 1 for that matter)? I would likely add a Sub Mini to my existing system (arc, two SL1s, & a single Sub Gen 3) to round out my bass if that would be possible. If it is not possible now, do anticipate that Sonos will upgrade the Mini to allow for such combination? As always, thanks for all you do for us!

I'm still torn between getting the sub mini or the gen 3. I have the sonos arc in a medium sized living room with vaulted ceilings. Although I don't get the full dolby atmos experience, it sounds great in my space. But I've been wanting to add a sub for awhile now. Based on your review, it seems like the sub mini, when the volume is adjusted to +7 or +8, is almost equal in bass impact to the gen 3 with no volume adjustment? I see in your videos that you suggest -1 or -2 on the gen 3. Any concerns over distortion when the sub mini is pushed at +7? BTW, great review.
@PeterPee
@PeterPee Год назад
The Sub Mini doesn't distort at +7. In fact, it holds up pretty well. Unless your room is introducing the boominess, you are good to go. In that case, you can always use Trueplay to compensate.

Hi, Peter! Thanks for the review! I’m in a conundrum! I have an L shaped open concept living room and dining area/kitchen combo. The long side is 7,5m and the short side is 5m with the whole L being 3,5m wide. I have my tv at the head of the L and my MLP around 3m from it and dining area behind it in the elbow of the L. I rock the Arc with symfonisk lamps as surrounds and just bought the sub mini to complement the bass. I’m tortured because though the system sounds good, the addition of the mini is so subtle! I don’t really ”feel” the bass. I’m wondering if I shoulda sprung for a refurbished Gen 3 since it’s a mid to large space I believe. It’s an apartment though but on the ground floor and made of concrete but still, I don’t want to disturb my neighbours too much and usually listen at 20-40% volume. 50-50 music and movies/games. How do the gen3 and mini compare at lower volumes with an arc in largish space I wonder. Any thoughts and insights would be appreciated.
@PeterPee
@PeterPee Год назад
Hi there, I would say that your space is large and too open for the Sub Mini. It won't be able to push enough air to pressurise the space so that's why you can barely feel the effects. Try the larger sub.

Hi Peter! I have two Fives on stands in my office in the middle of my home. I just listen to music. Mostly indie and rock. Wondering if you think the sub mini would add some more depth to the bottom. I feel like I have to turn the speakers up pretty high to feel the bass. I’m already at +9 bass and +5 treble in the EQ, but it just doesn’t feel full enough near the bottom (with and without Trueplay.) Thanks!!!
@PeterPee
@PeterPee Год назад
Oh, that's cos they are in the middle of the room. If you need more bass, you should move the speakers closer to the rear wall. If you need more omph in the base department in your case, I suspect you will need the Sub Gen 3. If you can wait, I will be doing that test some time down the road.
