If the manufacturers have it their way, the Sonos Playbar will be the last sound system you ever buy.
This impressive contraption is a wireless, all in one sound solution for nearly any device you have around the house. The Sonos Playbar can connect wirelessly to an HDTV, game consoles, computers, MP3 players and even wirelessly stream from websites like Pandora and Stopify. Beyond that, users can even download controller apps for PC, Mac, iPhone and Android to serve as a remote for the device. The app will allow users to do things like adjust sound levels, volume and skip tracks and stations.
The Sonos Playbar itself is a pretty discreet piece of electronic and packs a powerful set of nine speakers into its svelte body.
