I've had my PLAYBASE for a couple days now and I like it, but I really expected more on the low end with this new S-curved sub design in the unit. Everything is crisp and clear and the stereo separation is impressive but the bass is totally lacking. I would compare it to my PLAY:1s (I don't own a 5) and the 1s might even outshine it in the bass category.
I was really hoping for more after hearing all the work they did in making sure it was good for both movies and for listening to music, which left me expecting a bigger sound.
I'm not in the financial position to add a SUB, so I'm curious to hear what others think. Is there an off-chance I got a faulty unit?

Or try running a Trueplay session on it.
Don't have a Playbase, nor have I seen on in person yet, so I don't know how much "bass" you would hear in comparison to a Playbar.

Have you tried turning the bass setting up higher in the controller app? This may help.
I think you need to pair it with the sub to get the bass... I had the same response when I bought the bar before pairing it with the sub.
