Sonos<\/a> makes some of the best whole-home wireless audio gear I\u2019ve used, bar none. I\u2019ve tried Bluetooth and Zigbee models, wired and unwired gear, and nothing comes close to Sonos\u2019 ease-of-use and reliability. It is, in short, the Jobs-era Apple of consumer audio \u2013 everything just works and if it doesn\u2019t Sonos will have a fix eventually.<\/p>\n

So it comes as no surprise that their latest product, the slab-like Playbase<\/a> (or PLAYBASE, for the shouty) works as well as anything else they offer and can turn your living room into a surround-sound wonderland.<\/p>\n

The Playbase is basically a stand for your standalone TV. The whole thing is 2.28 x 28.35 x 14.96 in. and can hold TVs up to 77 pounds. You still need to put both the Playbase and the TV on a table unless you dump it on the floor. However, it tries to meld into your AV cabinet seamlessly. This means you can drop a fairly large TV on top of this thing it will still work. The 10 internal speakers \u2013 six mid-range, three tweeters, and one woofer \u2013 ensure that you\u2019re pumping a full range of audio out of the front grill and long, winding woofer channel.<\/p>\n
