Sonos Rocks!
Color: Black
I guess I SHOULD have given Sonos Play:5s only four stars because of the ridiculous price they charge for this thing! That aside, I'm extremely pleased with these speaker's sound quality, control software and overall functionality. The Sonos products do what no other product does(AFAIK). They allow you to play music thru-out your living space wirelessly. Further, you can select speakers(other Sonos products) to play different tracks simultaneously. You can choose songs from your music library to form a cue. Re:cue; you can change the song order, add/delete, SAVE etc. Like an ITunes playlist, only better. You can adjust EQ via Bass/Treble control. You can adjust volume or mute, pause/continue, cue fwd/rev, etc. I'm able to play music stored on my PC, controlled by my phone/tablet. (you don't need music on each device) TuneIn radio (comes with the software) has 100,000 stations to choose from. They play flawlessly. You can do all this from your PC, tablet or smart phone. How do you top this? SEVERAL people can perform all these functions SIMULTANEOUSLY. (which gets interesting when your child is home from college LOL) If you ask me, it's a miracle! "Ah but, setup must be difficult!", you say. Nope, setup was a snap. Once unpackaged and plugged in, I downloaded the software and configured the speakers in less than 30 minutes. REALLY! The software is simple and intuitive. Cons: Price I wish they had a better equalizer program. The current one has a basic treble/bass slide bar. I wish they had outdoor speakers. I wish they had wireless headphones. Note: Sonos product all require AC electric supply i.e. plug them in. They're wireless, not battery operated; which I think is a good thing. My experience: My highest priority was to be able to play music off my PC located in the 26'x26' kitchen/LR/DR open floor plan, over a set of decent quality speakers. The thought of integrating the whole house seemed wonderful, albeit unattainable. We listen to a variety of music, but mostly rock, jazz and jazz fusion. Occasionally, we like to blast it. How loud? "loud enough to NOT hear myself sing" LOL. I wanted to "hit it out of the park", so I wound up buying 2 Play:5s and Sonos Sub. First, I set up the Play:5s to see if/how they would work. They immediately reminded me of Apple products with they're ridiculous gratuitous packaging. I mean the boxes alone must cost $25! LOL As I said, the setup was a snap. I downloaded the app from the Sonos site*. It loaded quickly and I was on my way. Setup** was a couple of screens similar to pairing blue tooth stuff. What did take a while, was importing my 10K track music library(There's a serious issue here too! see below.) As for sound quality, I'd rate the speakers as "very good", to "excellent". If one considers the size of the format, ease of setup and they are wireless, I'd say "excellent"! I paired the speakers as stereo and listened to flawless music stream for about an hour. The bass response was so good, I almost didn't open the sub. I'm glad I did! While a huge expense for a seemingly frivolous component, the Sonos Sub is amazing! It definitely adds another dimension to the system. Several days later, I bought the Sonos starter set (2 Play:1s). I put one in the 12'x18' bedroom and one in the 24'x30' garage. Admittedly, these speakers do not deliver the sound quality of the 5's, but when you consider the size of the format, they absolutely rock! I'm saving my $ for more Sonos products! ------------NOTES---------------------------------------------- *I downloaded the app from Sonos. There's another app on the google app site which is rated rather low. I don't know if they are the same. **You need ethernet (hard wire) connection for the first Sonos product you install. Later, you can move remove the wire or move the speaker wherever you like. ***my ITunes PLAY LISTS did NOT import. The library is all there and the playlists titles are there, but the data within the playlists is erroneous and does not play. I'm on Sono's site attempting to fix this. WARNING, there appears to be NO real FIX at this time. UPDATE: I found an esoteric file "fix". It will work short term. If you're good with your PC file system, you can do it too. FLASH! I was contacted by Sonos support regarding this post. I'll update. UPDATE- I'm about 30 days into these products. I listen to them almost daily. ( just ordered 2 more P5s) The Music stream(over my network) has been flawless. I experienced 2 or 3 device "lockups" on my S5 phone, which were quickly averted with an app restart. My ITunes playlist problem persists. Sonos has been very attentive, emailing me several times about it. They say the issue is in ITunes(I don't doubt them), but I can't find the playlist files in order to examine and repair them. I WISH the P5s had more treble (brighter). I play them with the treble setting maxed out 100% of the time. I WISH the software had a real equalizer, rather than the vanilla bass/treble adjustments. UPDATE- I purchased 2 additional P5s. Now I have 2P5s + Sub in one room(24'x24') and 2P5s standalone in another(20'x20' with lower ceiling). I'll say the standalones are still pretty impressive. In fact, the sub tends to be a bit over-the-top and requires adjustment on some songs. Generally for classical music I'll turn it up a notch, then have to back it off for rock music. It's interesting to hear the extra bass when listening to talk radio. The standalones are by NO MEANS lacking. Don't hesitate to get two P5s if you can't afford the sub. ... show more

What is it? Sonos is a wireless speaker system that streams music from your computer (downloaded, ripped from CD, iTunes etc) or internet streaming services such as Spotify, Tidal and streaming radio stations directly into your room. It's all controlled via an Android or iPhone/IPad app. There is also a PC/MAC program but it's easier to use the phone. There is no screen and very limited controls on the speaker itself. With the app (or program) you can choose local or steaming music, create playlists, etc. Unlike a Bluetooth speaker, the app is just controlling what the speaker is playing. It's not the source of the music. The speaker is connected to you router via Wi-Fi (Or wired) so it get the music it's playing directly over the network. The idea of Sonos is you have a speaker in every room. But you just need one to start. Eventually you can have many speakers and they can be playing different music or all linked together playing the same thing. Why I bought it I had a CD changer, surround sound receiver and some speakers which worked for many years. I found I wanted to modernize to something easier after my friend let me try his Sonos system. Once I saw what this could do, I knew I could: - Listen to my almost 350 CD collection - Be able to create playlists from my existing collection - Access my purchased music collection (Amazon music and some iTunes tracks) (Was hoping this was possible) - Stream radio and use services like Spotify/Pandora - Start playing and change music easily My CD collection One thing Sonos does not tell you how to do is get your CD collection into the Sonos system. You can rip your CDs using some program and store them on you computer. But if you have a laptop like me sometimes it's not always available. I ended up using a microJukebox which ripped the CDs automatically. It acts as a computer server and allows me to play my music at any time. I also was able to load my existing tracks from iTunes and Amazon on it. Sonos has a nice interface like iTunes but again if your laptop is not powered on, it won't work. Now all my CDs and music are in stored on the microJukebox. How does it sound? I was going to purchase the old version of the PLAY:5 but waited after I read that the new version was almost out. I'm glad I waited. The sound is pretty amazing. My original system has good size speakers and a small sub woofer; and the PLAY:5 fills the room with rich sound just as well is not better then the larger system. Audio quality I have been doing some listening tests between my ripped CDs and the same tracks on Spotify. The tracks ripped from CD are defiantly much better, but Spotify has a lot more music available. The only thing I had to compare before was playing my Android phone through a blue-tooth speaker and playing CDs on my CD player was good. Now the PLAY:5 sounds even better than my CD player did with the same tracks (ripped from my CDs). I heard that Tidal streams most of their content in CD quality. I may get a trial account and try that out with this system. What's next? I need to start learning the advanced functionality that Sonos has to offer. I also want to start exploring some of the other free streaming services. I was very surprised at how many stream services are included. I may purchase another smaller Sonos unit for the bedroom. I see you can set alarms and it would be cool to wake up to music. I'm very happy so far! Conclusion The PLAY:5 is a great system. - Easy to use - Great app - Supports lots of different streaming services - Access to local music - Sounds amazing - Solidly built ... show more

Spectacular product with Superb Support and Functionality
Color: Black
I purchased my first Sonos speaker (Play 5) and I've had it for almost a week now. I say this is my "first" Sonos speaker because I expect to be buying more over the coming months. Before buying the Play 5, I had purchased a W9 speaker from Definitive Technology. The W9 has incredible sound. But the one I got was broken and would only connect by the audio jack. So it went back. I was also not impressed with the Definitive app and so I decided to try a different company. The Sonos app had great reviews and the more I read the more I decided that functionality is also very important. So I ordered the Play 5. The Play 5 easily connected to my home network and to my iPhone 6. The Sonos app works great and it plays very nice with the Spotify app. The Play 5 also connected very easily with my wife's iPhone and iPad. But it would not connect to my older iPad. So I sent emails to Sonos discussing the issue I was having. After the first idea didn't fix the problem, they suggested I contact them and work in real time. I did that and I was EXTREMELY impressed with the problem solving capabilities of the tech I talked with. He connected to my network and quickly diagnosed the source of the communication problem in my home network. A firmware update to my router and everything was fixed and working great on my iPad! That's right ... the problem had nothing to do with their product, but they helped me identify the problem and resolve the issue with one 20 minute phone call. Now that's what I call super service! So what can I say about the Play 5 sound quality? It's very very good. I must say, however, it is not quite as good as the sound I got from the W9. But I am still very happy with the quality. And the functionality and service more than make up for the tiny difference in sound quality. I also have a Simply Smart hub in my house that provides lots of convenient automation. The Play 5 also works with this system and will play text to speech announcements to warn me of potential issues. Just icing on the cake that the W9 couldn't touch ... So my recommendation is the following... if you want great sound, excellent functionality and support then get a Sonos Play 5. If you want the very best sound you can get at this sized speaker and price range and you don't mind the hassles of poor functionality then maybe the W9 is a better option for you. For me, I'm very happy with my first Play 5 and I expect continued satisfaction as I expand. ... show more

Hands down the best smart speaker on the market...
Color: Black
Hands down the best smart speaker on the market... and one of the top 5 home speakers period (smart or otherwise). I love this speaker. I have it integrated with my Alexa (by way of Smartthings), Smartthings, Harmony remote, and my Smart TV. It's my music player, alarm clock, streaming audio, status announcer (e.g. "The front door is open", "The temperature is 72 degrees", etc.), it is the voice of my Alexa (by using line in and a separate bluetooth receiver), it is a secondary Siren for my smoke and CO detector and intruder alarm, it is my TV speaker, and it is decoration (I say this last part because I think it is a very nice looking speaker). Don't let the size fool you. It has some SERIOUS bass. Obviously it's not a sub, but as close as you can get without adding a dedicated subwoofer (btw, I used to be an audio engineer, so I know a good speaker when I hear one). And that kind of leads me into the quality of the sound. I didn't test the frequency response or the 1W 1M dB SPL, etc, etc... all that's on the spec sheet, I'm sure. But just the subjective opinion of a guy whose seen and tested HUNDREDS of speakers.... this speaker sounds fantastic. I might have bought it just for the sound quality even if it didn't have all the other bells and whistles. You will NOT be disappointed. The app could be a little better designed. And my only other complaint is that I wish that it would default back to the "line-in" when a transient signal comes in from another source. But I worked around that minor flaw using my Smartthings app and CoRE (a rule engine for smartthings). But you don't have to be all tech-y to use this. It's basically plug and play. Just sign in with your favorite music service from the app... or connect with your computer or phone through the app with a couple of clicks... or just plug something into the back... and you're off. Only one other minor complaint was that I thought it was poor insight of Sonos to make a non-removeable logo. That means that if I want a stereo pair upright then they would look funny with the logo pointing the same way on both sides. But then I realized that it was me that had the poor insight. They put little rubber feet (the good ones that won't come off...ever) on all 3 sides... and I realized... what is SONOS upside down? Duh! So, it can easily be set up to look symmetrical when using as a stereo pair. Seems they thought of everything... even down to how their name would look. I loved this one product SOOOOO much that I just bought a Playbar, a sub, and 12 Play 1 speakers to make a full on 5.1 and put more speakers all over the rest of my house. ... show more

Two defective Play 5 units and terrible customer service
Color: Black
Up until a few months ago I was a big fan of Sonos, loving the sound quality and ability to control the music through my phone or computer. But then the Play 5 I purchased about 1 year ago just stopped working due to a known issue with a defective wifi or network card according to Sonos tech support. That was bad but what followed was far worse. After attempting to fix the unit over the phone, they promised to send a new unit but for weeks it never came. Turns out the rep I talked to on the phone failed to tell me that I had to jump through more hoops including giving them my credit card so they could charge me for a new one if I failed to return the defective one in 14 days. So I jumped through those additional hoops and a new one arrived. A few weeks later that replacement Play 5 stopped working just like the first one. Remarkably, it had a defective wifi / network card according to tech support just like the first one! This time the customer support person, who seemed a bit embarrassed, promised to send a new one with overnight delivery. He seemed nice and concerned so I waited for the new one to arrive. But it didn't come for days. When I called back they said I had to jump through additional hoops on their website never mentioned on the call. Why would they promise to send me a new one the next day but not tell me about the additional steps I need to take to make it happen? By this time I was quite upset. I must have made 10 to 12 calls to Sonos waiting 15 to 25 minutes on hold each time. To make it right they gave me a 30% discount code for a new purchase. But that code was only worth about 10% compared to Sonos prices at a big box retailer. I can't believe such a strong premium brand that charged me $500 for the original Play 5 would treat customers this way. ... show more

Very Impressed
Color: Black
I would rate this product a 10 star rating out of 5 .:) All aspects of my experience with theThe Play 5 Speaker, exceeded my expectations. I was impressed starting with the Chat capability at the Sonos website where they answered my many questions real time ...when I purchased the product it was evident that this was a company that focused on quality from end to end. Quality is evdident in the details from the packaging to the App. The app was awesome and the installation was elegant and sophisticated . The music sounds great from the Speakers...music sounds good with only one Speaker in the room but I preferred to have them paired...the ability to walk thru my house in the different rooms and listen to music is exactly what I was hoping for and there is no lag or echo between rooms ....it is easy to use the App to group or ungroup the rooms. You can even play a raido station in one room while listening to music in the other rooms. It is really amazing it is so flexible. I can play my Audible books by plugging in my Echo Dot and using the Line In feature from the App. I look forward to when Sonos and Audible are more closely integrated...and apparently there are plans to have more synergy with Amazon Echo and the Sonos speakers. Anyway...other than the fact I couldn't stop buying more until I had 2 in every room....I am very happy. Although I chose to use Sonos 5's in most rooms there is one room that I used a pair of Sonos 1's and they too sound great.....I have been very impressed!! I can understand why they are somewhat pricey but you get quality for the price. ... show more

Sonos; has shortcomings but this speaker is the best yet
Color: Black
101216 Update: This issue will likely be solved with an update but since introducing the New model Play 5 into my existing Sonos system the music will automatically and randomly start playing on its own. It could also be an Android app issue as it only happens when I wake my S6 Edge to check calls/emails or (worst) when I am on a call..... that REALLY sucks to be on a professional call in your home office and music starts blaring! It will not stop either... every 10-15 seconds during the call it goes to play mode. Back to review. New Play 5 review and Sonos summary. I'll keep the review short.... I did not want to spend $500 on yet another Sonos speaker but I have to admit the new model blows the old model away! The sound is crisp, deep bass and the highs blend perfectly... it is also louder than the older Play 5. If you're on the fence just buy it..... trust me folks, I know more than the generals do. I have mixed reviews on the Sonos system in general, the platform is very buggy and clunky to operate. That said I am a believer in the philosophy of streaming music throughout the house without having to reconnect from BT speaker to BT speaker as you move about. The WiFi streaming is genius and does not seem to consume as much bandwidth as one may think. I have six Play 1's, a Play 3 and two Play 5 speakers (previous and current model). I was a little annoyed that the new Play 5 came out just a month or two after I purchased the previous model and I could not see dropping another $500 for the new model. As I am constantly trying to find the best location to place the speakers to get the desired sound I recently decided to add another Play 5. The setup now is Play 5 in the living room paired with two Play 1 (in-stereo) speakers, a Play 5 in the kitchen paired with one Play 1, a Play 3 in the bedroom paired with two Play 1 speakers and a Play 1 in my office. A Play 1 by itself does not do justice to the system but is a nice accessory to the Play 5 to fill out stereo surround. ... show more

Best sounding HiFi Wireless speaker I've ever owned, with a caveat
*Note: I can only compare this speaker with my previous Sonos Play:5 1st Gen, Sonos Play:3, and HomePod. The speaker is gorgeous, even though I have it on this cheap end table. I couldn't find any touch controls on top, like my previous Play:5 and Play:3 but I am always on my iPhone or iPad anyway so that's no big deal. This version of the Play:5 is boomier; perhaps this is because I've paired down most of the stuff I've owned and it is echo-y in my apartment because of it, but it just *feels* a bit heavy on the bass. This wouldn't be an issue in a house, but in an apartment complex, it is not ideal. I usually keep it down to a reasonable level and don't blare it past 8pm (the video not withstanding). Connectivity: The AirPlay 2 connectivity between this speaker and my Mac works well, almost flawlessly in fact. But when it comes to my iPhone, it is hit or miss. I have a Sonos One in my bedroom and it is the same with that. I like to listen to books or podcasts in bed before I fall asleep and the connectivity on both the Play:5 and One need work. Price: These things are *expensive*. I haven't priced other wireless HiFi speakers other than this and the HomePod, but this was $500. I bought it because I listen to music, practically all day, every day, as I work from home. The HomePod is about $200 less, and while comparable to the Play:3 (discontinued), it is NOT comparable to this current or even previous gen Play:5. Sound: Sonos has always had great sound quality. The issue is my living room needs some sound insulation or something. Just a bit hollow and echo-y but still sounds FANTASTIC. Should you buy? I suppose if you're in the market for wireless HiFI speakers, you could choose the Play:5; they sound great, look great, and make a nice addition to any home/apartment. But, you could really get by with a cheaper speaker, like a HomePod, if you're in Apple's ecosystem, or the Echo Studio. ... show more
