I just purchased a home and was looking into having it wired for whole-house audio. Looking into multi-room systems on Amazon, it was apparent to me that it wouldn't be cheap: cost of the speakers, controllers, PLUS cost of running wires throughout the house. When I saw the SONOS PLAY:1 promotions, I found its wireless solution to be more cost effective, and with better speakers to boot. Below are the pros and cons that led me to decide for the Sonos system. NOTE: a Sonos BRIDGE is NOT needed to use the PLAY:1. See the INSTALLATION section of this review. PROS - Hi-Fi. Speakers sound better than the multi-room, wired systems I looked at for less than $500. - Resale Value. Wired speakers don't add much resale value to your house. So, why spend $1000s, only to leave the audio system behind when you sell the property or move? With wireless, I could take my expensive speakers with me to my new home. - Freedom to move around. With wireless, you are free to take the speakers anywhere you want throughout the whole house. For neighborhood block parties, I could even hook up the speakers to an extension cord out to the street, and stream music from my home. Or take it outside to your backyard. They are moisture-proof, but I wouldn't use them as permanent outdoor speakers unless you enclose them in protective casings. NOTE on wireless: each SONOS component is its own wireless client and repeater. Sonos wireless is a private, wireless "mesh" system, separate from your home WiFi. What does that mean to you? It routes music through its own wireless, leaving your home WiFi untouched. There's an additional benefit for that, as I'll explain after the installation note below. Most of the Sonos components (PLAY:1 is NOT one of them) have 2 network ports. This means, you can plug in the component into the network jack, and use the 2nd one on the speaker to connect your laptop. INSTALLATION: First, the tech talk. You need 1 Sonos component to be plugged in to your home network (any of the PLAY speakers, Soundbar, Bridge, etc.) So, as an example, you must plug in either the BRIDGE or the PLAY:1 to your network with a network cable. This turns that component into a wireless access point (or as consumers tend to call it, a "Wifi router".) All other Sonos components will now be able to wirelessly talk to that plugged-in device. No other Sonos component has to be plugged in, as long as it's within wireless range of the plugged-in one. Should a component in your house be too far away (say, your garage) from the plugged-in one, you can connect it to your network via cable, if available, or set up a Sonos BRIDGE (or any other Sonos speaker) wirelessly somewhere between the plugged-in one and the Garage speaker. The BRIDGE or other speaker strengthens the wireless from the plugged-in one, and extends the range to the one in the Garage. Each Sonos component is both a wireless client, and a wireless access point/repeater. Each component talks to each other in a mesh network. Think of a spider net. Any part that is touched vibrates to the rest of the net. Tech-talk aside, think about this: One person (Person 1) is at a corner of the house. When he shouts, the person in the garage (Person 2) can't hear Person 1. The only way Person 1 can talk to 2, is to pick up the phone (talking over a wired connection, or plugging a distant Sonos component to the wired network) or having Person 3 stand between them (having a Sonos component physically be between both speakers) and relaying the information back and forth (what WiFi mesh would do). So, with each Sonos component/speaker, the Sonos wireless range gets extended. With the Sonos wireless mesh, you could humorously place a few speakers into each house in the neighborhood, and suddenly play the same music through each home. Try that with Bluetooth speakers. You wouldn't be able to. WiFi mesh TIP: if you have an Android device, you can Google "Android devices on SonosNet", and you will see instructions on how to use your Sonos wireless network ("SonosNet") to connect your Android phone/tablet. This allows you to use your mobile device further away from your home WiFi. This has disadvantages and advantages out of the scope of this review. I decided not to use SonosNet for my tablets. NOTE: a Sonos BRIDGE is NOT needed to use the PLAY:1. Just plug in the PLAY:1 to the wired network (ie your router), and it will work just fine. You still control it with the Sonos App from your mobile device. Once the PLAY:1 is plugged in, you can add other Sonos components to the system. A BRIDGE is NOT needed for that either. It's only needed if you want to extend the Sonos wireless range to a farther part of your house or yard for $50 vs buying another PLAY speaker for $100+) - Small size. The BRIDGE is about the same size as an Apple TV/Roku/WD TV Live. The PLAY:1 is about 2-3 of them stacked on top of each other. The PLAY:1 has a fairly hefty weight, a good sign of the good sound coming from its components. - Ease of Pairing. To pair other Sonos components (or with the Sonos Controller App), simply hit the Play/Volume Up button on the speaker, and the same combination on the other speakers. If pairing with the BRIDGE, hit the pair button on that component. - LED. The Bright LED can be configured to turn on/off via the Sonos app. - Ease of music sync. You can use the free Sonos app for your Android, iOS (iPhone/iPad/iPod), Windows Phone, Mac/Windows laptop/tablet (sadly, no Windows Store app yet) to control how the speakers play: you can easily choose which speakers to pair/unpair into groups. Grouping the speakers allows you to play the same music on those speakers. You can have up to 32 separate groups. You can also individually control each speaker from the app. Each group's volume is controlled by the Sonos app. So, if Speaker 1 is set to 50% volume, and Speaker 2 is set to 25%, lowering the volume by 5% will lower Speaker 1 to 45%, and 2 to 20%. Once music is playing, you can leave the house, and it will continue to play -- as long as the music source is not coming from that mobile device (meaning: if you're playing MP3s from your phone, and your phone leaves, it will stop playing. But if you started Pandora from your phone, or you told the speaker to play music off one of your network shares, it will continue playing since the source is coming from a device that's still at home.) PARTIES: one cool feature is that once you download the Sonos Controller app and pair it to one of the Sonos speakers (which authorizes the app/phone to talk to your Sonos system -- this prevents unauthorized people outside your home from controlling your speakers), each device can control the playlist. So, if you have guests coming over, and each guest downloads and authorizes the Sonos app to your system, each guest can now add/remove songs from the queue. Everybody can now be a DJ. - Stereo pairing for PLAY:1. You can take two PLAY:1 speakers and set them up as Left & Right channels for stereo output. - Expandability. Sonos did a smart thing. They released the less expensive PLAY:1 to wet your/my appetite. As you use the system, you will likely buy more Sonos components to expand your sound system, resulting in more revenue for the company. You can add any Sonos component to your system, and they will all work in harmony. You can set up a complete home theater system that way too. I know, sounds pricey. It is. But it still is cheaper than having your whole house wired with nice speakers. - Alarm/Sleep timer. You can set up each speaker (or Group of speakers) to play music at a specific time, day, and volume (Alarm) from a specific source for a specified amount of time. Or you can also set a Sleep timer to play music for a specific number of minutes to ease you into sleep. I love getting waken up by mellow music (ie. Norah Jones) in the morning, and when I leave the home, I don't have to worry about turning off the speakers. It'll automatically turn off after the 45 minutes I set up for the alarm. - Sound. Sound quality is quite good. I will leave you with the reviews by others to read more about that. With the Sonos app, you can control Bass, Treble, and volume. I have the speakers play between 15% to 25% volume in each room -- they are plenty loud enough. Setting them to 100% can be heard through the whole house -- and the potential for your neighbors to complain. Even at low volume, the sound is very good. It's definitely better than most Bluetooth speakers. If you put the PLAY:1 in the corner of a room, the sound seems a bit more muffled due to the amplification of the Bass by the walls on both ends. You can fix this by adding more Treble, or by moving the speaker away from the corner. - Design. The PLAY:1 and BRIDGE are beautiful devices. They don't look out-of-place in my home. I bought the White ones. CONS I couldn't find many cons with the PLAY:1. But here are some that have annoyed me. - Cost. The Sonos system is expensive. Just look at the price of the other components. Holy moly. Still, if you were to wire your house with Bose speakers, the Sonos system is comparatively inexpensive. Again, I chose Sonos because wiring the house won't add much resale value. I like the idea of being able to take my Sonos with me to my new home. - Sonos App Interface. The app is clunky and looks outdated. It took me a while to figure out where to go to do what (and I love gadgets/toys. I'm a technology tinkerer!). It's not very user friendly. - Music sources. Not all apps can play to the Sonos speakers. You have to use the Sonos App, add the approved source to it, then you can play from that source. I wish you could re-route any audio from any device to the speakers. Pandora, network shares (NAS), iTunes, TuneIt Radio (built-in), iPod/iPad/iPhone, media files on your own Android/Windows device are all possible sources. At one point (if I remember correctly), my not-so-tech-savvy dad was able to beam his iPad's YouTube sound to the speakers without using the Sonos App. I didn't get a chance to verify how he did it, but I did see the PLAY:1 being available as a target on his iPad. Perhaps it was playing via the DLNA protocol. Either way, that was neat. - Input source. I wish that the PLAY:1 had a Line-in/Aux port so that you can connect any music source to it for playback, such as your TV or existing home entertainment system. Yes, the Sonos CONNECT takes care of that, but look at the price of that component! Even then, the CONNECT doesn't support SPDIF/Optical input. Weren't it for the Amazon/Target promotions on Black Friday, I would have been EXTREMELY hesitant to buy these expensive speakers. I bought two PLAY:1 during the promotion. With that said, overall, I'm quite pleased with the purchase. It came out cheaper than wiring the house, and I get to control my music from any of the mobile devices. That's neat. Lower the prices of your other components, Sonos! I hope for increased competition in the market to drive the prices down -- as of today, I'm not aware of any good, alternate, wireless HiFi solution. I have the BRIDGE installed downstairs in a 2-story home. One PLAY:1 is upstairs, and one PLAY:1 is downstairs. I may purchase more PLAY:1s in the future. The BRIDGE is not needed at all for my home since one of the PLAY:1 can act as the wireless access point for the other. ------ EDIT 5/12/14: Almost half a year later, and I'm still enjoying the PLAY:1. By the way, Sonos is working on making it unnecessary for any Sonos component to be connected to the wired network/router. From their blog post, titled, "Our Vision for Rock-Solid Wireless, Evolved" (April 17, 2014), "We've found a way to deliver all the benefits of SonosNet without a product directly connected to your router... Start with a speaker and your smartphone, enter your WiFi password and Sonos takes care of the rest." I've also updated my review with the clarification, "Most of the Sonos components (PLAY:1 is [NOT] one of them) have 2 network ports." (Thank you, JOEKC, for pointing out the original review's error) EDIT 6/16/14: Clarified that SonosNET is a proprietary, wireless network

SONOS PLAY:1 Compact Smart Speaker for Streaming Music (White)I recently shopped for some quality WiFi speakers to use in our newly remodeled master bathroom. It’s a large space (15x15 ft) with a high ceiling. I intend to operate them as a pair with stereo left and right channel functionality. Primary considerations were quality of sound, stereo pairing, wireless stability, and application functionality. After looking at Raumfeld, Bose, Yamaha, Harmon Kardon and Samsung, I decided it was a choice between the Sonos Play 1 and Yamaha Music Cast WX030, which have similar price points. Background: Sonos-A year ago, I set up a pair of Sonos Play 5’s at the office in a recreation room and a Sonos Connect with a (surprise) Yamaha receiver and Bose bookshelf speakers in our Fitness Center. The Play 5’s in the Rec Room are placed on shelves and never require any touch of the actual device once they are set up. Just open the app. They power up immediately and are linked as a stereo pair. For this reason, I felt a high placement was possible in my bathroom on a ledge above the closet. Yamaha-I’ve been a Yamaha fan my entire adult life. I rode a Yamaha XS750 Special motorcycle over 100K miles in 6 years. My first stereo system was a Yamaha (CR-620) and my current AV receiver is also a Yamaha. The CR-620 in particular is still alive in my garage and playing vinyl records on the same turntable I bought with that receiver in the 70’s. It’s attached to a set of Bose 301’s from the same era and a pair of Pioneer 3-way tower speakers with dual 8” woofers. With the advancement of wireless speakers, I anticipate my next AV receiver will be wireless too. The MusicCAST system looks like it may fit the bill some day. Setup-I placed these speakers side by side in stereo pairs in each room of the house. Placed in corners of the same wall on tables at shoulder level with a clear line of sight. They landed in my bedroom for a few days after an evening of moving them about the house. Using their individual apps enabled me to toggle between brands with various music genres and sources all from my iPhone. Sonos Play 1… • Technology o Initial setup of these units and connecting them as stereo pairs was just plain simple. They connected to my iPhone 6, then the house WiFi, and finally paired when I was ready. o TruePlay is an interesting feature. It sends a loud note from the speakers while you wave your mobile device around the room for a minute. (I felt like I was clearing the bad spirits away with burning sage) It really did the trick. I could hear it chasing the bad sound spirits away. Running the TruePlay setup in each room tuned them for the best stereo image possible. o The equalizer in the app is limited to Balance, Bass and High only, but I really didn’t care. o The Sonos app connected to my Pandora and Sirius accounts and played directly from the phone itself with no skips or delays of any kind. o A wonderful feature when paired as L-R speakers is, you can turn them on and adjust volume using the controls on either speaker without the app. Either, controls both! o Over the days I tested the Play 1’s, I never had to mess with settings or even touch the buttons on the speakers. It just worked on demand through the Sonos app. • Audio: o These little speakers really surprised me. Fabulous mid range and highs, which made vocals jump out at you. Bass was ok but not pretentious. It’s like Sonos knew the limitations of a small package like this and didn’t try to fake it. o Play 1’s sound just fine individually but they really come into their own as a stereo pair. The sum of the parts was better than imagined. o When I listened to these, the term “bright” (in a good way) seemed to fit. At high and low volume levels, the sound transitioned nicely across the frequency range. At high volume I wondered what a small subwoofer would add to a pair of these speakers. Placed on wooden night stands, the Play 1’s bass improved noticeably. o With the dial at max noise, these speakers strained too much with some loss of quality. o The Play 1 speaker has high fidelity sound from the pre-subwoofer era. Sonos has recreated that sound with two small drivers and packed it all in an acoustically enhanced housing. I wish my old Advent Loudspeakers put out this kind of midrange. o Perfect for smaller rooms and I bet, as surrounds on a larger system. Yamaha WX-030… • Technology: o Powering these on, installing the app and performing the firmware update was straightforward. The app is intuitive to use although it’s not “fluid” in the way you move around. I felt it took more clicks than the Sonos to perform the same function. o They connected to my house WiFi just fine and reconnected on demand. o Connecting the WX’s as a stereo pair and linking for use in one room, took some time with multiple button gymnastics required on each speaker. Over time, I noticed I had to relink these speakers in the app when turning them on after they’ve been sitting on standby for a while. o The equalizer has midrange in addition to high and bass adjustment, which was good. I wish adjusting one speaker would have adjusted the other but you had to do each speaker separately. When adjusting volume in the app, a slider for both speakers pops up to show you they are moving in unison. You can adjust them individually in the app too. o Making adjustments using the controls on the speaker itself was awkward at best. One doesn’t control the other so you have to adjust both speakers separately. The problem is, there is no indication that you are on “volume 7” or “Pause” since the controls don’t have lights. Nor do the (elegantly executed) buttons have anything resembling a tactile feel. I found it easier to just use the app. o The app has some delay in response to adjustments. The slider controls lag our finger movement by a split second you can see. o I have a very robust wireless system in the house and stream HD movies with no trouble to the TV and mobile devices simultaneously. The audio connection of the WX’s skipped a few times making me wonder about the file size of the source running over WiFi. It seems to be worse when using airplay, which is a much-desired feature to have regardless. • Audio o Now here’s where the Yamaha shines the most, as it should. Very full sound with great bass. Whether used as a pair or individually, the Yamahas had fantastic acoustics. o At lower volumes, the bass seemed to overwhelm the midrange frequencies but it wasn’t annoying. It gave the sound a relaxed quality. o At high volumes, bass makes an impact. They still can’t move enough air for exceptional lows when pushed to the max but they do a fine imitation. Like a sports car, these speakers just want to run fast and much louder than the Sonos with little strain or distortion. Medium to loud volume puts these speakers in their sweet spot. o Sound-wise, these speakers are first consideration for medium and open plan rooms or as a supplemental pair to a larger system in a huge room. Summary • Sonos Play 1-This turned out to be the best choice for my intended use and as a system I would want to expand on in the future. Sonos has owned this part of the market and for good reason. Their products have a definite “Apple Feel”. They work seamlessly, exude quality and the packaging is elegant in that “Apple Way”. • Yamaha WX-030-I really wanted to love these speakers. It is a great disappointment to see Yamaha release a product that isn’t quite ready for prime time. The sound is really good but the app is wonky. And the connectivity needs massaging. These drawbacks give this product a “Symbian or Windows feel”. • Conclusion-If I was to choose, just for myself, I would deal with the technical challenges of the Yamaha just for that sound. Considering my wife and other family members who will also operate this speaker system, the Sonos hits it out of the park for me. o Sonos Play 1 Bon Jovi, Hendrix and Supertramp o Yamaha WX-030 Guns & Roses, AC/DC and Bowie.
