Amazon Echo Sub vs Sonos SUB review

Amazon Echo Sub vs Sonos SUB

Sonos SUB review

The Sonos SUB active subwoofer is designed to complete Sonos branded audio systems that require additional bass support. It has 280 W power. Sonos SUB vs Amazon Echo Sub is wireless. Each speaker is connected to its Class D amplifier, which ensures high bass power without significant heating of the device itself.

The original shape of the subwoofer enclosure is due to its design - the device uses two counter-directional speakers working on a common central cavity. The subwoofer can be placed vertically or horizontally, which is very convenient. All connectors are mounted on the bottom panel in such a way as to make the connection as inconspicuous as possible.

Echo Sub delivers 100W low-frequency sound through a 6-inch woofer. The sub is compatible with the smart Echo and Echo Plus 2 and 3 generation speakers. With the Echo Input, the subwoofer can also be used with speakers from other manufacturers. It does not function as a standalone device, only with external speakers.

Amazon Echo Sub vs Sonos SUB compatible with Alexa, just control your music with your voice. The look of the Echo Sub is in line with the style of the new Echo Series product: a cylindrical body with rounded edges wrapped in cloth.
