All of my components are in white in my living room, aswell as all of my sonos play:3 and play:5.... Are there any plans on bringing the Playbar in white?

    10/28/16 I just received an email stating that the subwoofer has been released in white, but Sonos has no plans to produce a white playbar. Of course this is very disappointing. Especially since many of you have been holding out for a white playbar to match the rest of your set ups for so long.
    Does anyone have a skin/decal they've successfully used on their playbar? The Snow White cover posted to this forum is unacceptable as it covers the speakers.
    Thanks everyone!
    And Happy Halloween!!!

    As far as I'm aware, Flexson was the manufacturer of the vinyl pre-cut wraps for the Sonos line. But I think they stopped making them, and to be honest, I don't know if they ever did one for the Playbar. There's certainly a possibility that there's another company that does it, I'd recommend a google search. Recently, in one of these threads, someone posted a picture of a sub that they'd wrapped themselves that was pretty impressive, at least to me. You might think about that route, i.e. purchasing some vinyl and cutting it to specification yourself.

    To be honest, it wouldn't surprise me if sometime before the holiday season the do come out with a white Playbar, given that they just came out with a white sub, but not being surprised and a guarantee or pre-release confirmation from Sonos are two wildly different things. And I wouldn't place money on it, either, since I suspect that it's possible that the two devices are made in different factories, and it's a more complex issue than just adding white paint to a sprayer.

    If you end up doing it yourself, you could potentially make it a side business for yourself, I suspect there's a small market out there for that kind of thing.

    I emailed Sonos an hour ago, and got a very fast reply:
    Thanks for your support of Sonos. We don’t have plans to introduce a white PLAYBAR at this time. There are some third parties with solutions like this: http://www.coloryoursound.com/coloryoursound-sonos-playbar-snow-white.html.
    10/10 for replying so fast, 4/10 for not haveing the white version yet, but thanks for offering the alternative!

    I'd give them a round of applause for suggesting another company at all, rather than just saying "there are other solutions out there". Kudos, Sonos folks!

    Mm, sure, but buying a black playbar only to hide it in white cloth...? No, thanks. Still waiting for a "native" white playbar. Until then, you can't have my money. Sorry.

    Same as Dewer. Hoping that Sonos will deliver the long awaited news on the white Playbar this Christmas.

    So I noticed that Sonos has a new frontpage. It's light, fresh and of course a lot of promotion for their products. When I write this every single Sonos and Apple devices on the frontpage are white... except the Playbar. By the choice of exposure of the products and colors I'm guessing Sonos are seeing the "trend" (not new really) of white products too? Just as CHIP66 I've been waiting for news about a white Playbar. Unfortunately this was not the "white" christmas I was hoping for. Anyway, Merry Christmas and I hope Sonos listens rather sooner than later. 😞

    I received the exact same answer by mail. It looks like Sonos can make a standard mail reply, but is not able to produce a white playbar...

    It looks like Sonos will be launching a white Playbar soon as the ad on the latest Rolling Stones show a white play5, play1, sub, Playbar next to a white iPhone.

    Any links or did you see the white Playbar on a poster / billboard? The white Playbar would be such a welcome addition. We have been waiting long.
