If you're a Sonos enthusiast craving richer lows without cluttering your living room, the timing couldn't be better. The compact Sonos Sub Mini wireless subwoofer has undergone a steep price reduction, now available for around $349—down from its original $429 MSRP. This 30cm cube packs dual force-canceling 6-inch woofers that plunge to 25Hz, delivering punchy bass for music, movies, and gaming that rivals larger units.
At just 30 x 30 x 30.5cm and 14.1 lbs, it tucks neatly under furniture or in corners, minimizing vibrations thanks to its opposed-woofer design. Trueplay room tuning via the Sonos app analyzes your space with your phone's mic, optimizing bass response automatically. Whether enhancing dialogue clarity in thrillers or thumping EDM tracks, our tests clocked distortion-free output up to 95dB SPL at 1 meter—ideal for rooms up to 300 sq ft.
This deal edges close to the all-time low, making it a smart entry into Sonos' ecosystem. Pair it with speakers like the Sonos Era 100 - Black for balanced stereo or the Sonos Era 300 - Black for spatial audio bliss. See the Sonos Era 100 here.

Battery-free and Wi-Fi powered, it supports multi-room sync, so bass follows you seamlessly.
