Sonos Sub 4
Score: 86/100Rankings
The Sonos Sub 4 is a wireless subwoofer with dual inward-facing 5"×8" drivers delivering deep 25 Hz bass and automatic Trueplay tuning. Its Wi-Fi-only connectivity and substantial weight can limit flexibility for non-Sonos setups. Ideal for Sonos ecosystem owners seeking powerful bass in medium-to-large rooms.
The JBL LSR310S is a 10-inch powered studio subwoofer with a 200 W Class D amp, Slip Stream Port and multiple crossover options, delivering precise low-end for professional monitoring. Its down-firing design and lack of onboard EQ limit placement and fine-tuning flexibility. Best suited for studio engineers who need accurate bass and balanced inputs.
