The editors didn't like

  • Truesound not for all
  • Speaker legs are apparent
  • Very simple design
  • App needs an upgrade
  • Side speaker legs protrude
  • Ignoring Bluetooth just feels regressive at this point. Software UI feels dated
  • Should You Buy It
  • Some limitations for first time buyers still
  • Need a Sonos ZoneBridge to connect to your router if in a different room
  • If you don’t have the aforementioned iDevice
  • However
  • You’ll either have to control playback through your computer or shell out for an expensive (but lovely) Sonos CR200 touchscreen remote control. There’s also no Wi-Fi built-in
  • So you’ll have to connect the S5 to your router via Ethernet cable.
  • No high-res support
  • Can now be beaten for outright sound quality and value
  • Fairly pricey
  • Especially if you want to buy a second one for stereo sound
  • App could do with a refresh
  • Very simple design.
  • Very expensive
  • Addictive -- you'll want one for each room
  • Headphone output not brilliant
  • It's very expensive
  • No desktop playback
  • If this is your first ZonePlayer you'll need to wire it to your router or buy a £79 ZoneBridge
  • Expensive standalone controller
  • If this is your first ZonePlayer
  • You’ll need to wire it to your router or buy a £79 ZoneBridge. Expensive standalone controller
  • High cost
  • Addictive
  • Lacks Apple AirPlay
  • A little bit pricey... but worth it.
  • No hi-resolution audio support
  • Slightly bass heavy
  • A little expensive for what's essentially a plastic speaker
  • Less connectivity than Bluetooth rivals
  • Expensive
  • Difficult to wallmount
  • No Bluetooth
  • AirPlay or Google Cast support
  • Individual speakers can be trumped for sound
  • No hi-res support
  • Control system can be restrictive
  • No High Res support
  • Slighty dull looks
  • You'll need to sit it next to a router unless you buy the ZoneBridge
  • You'll need to buy the controller or have an iPod touch/iPhone to get the most out of it
  • TruePlay is tricky to set-up
  • Single app approach can be a pain

  • Tremendous, spacious sound, Composed at volume, Punchy bass
  • Less connectivity than Bluetooth rivals, No high-res support
  • With the new Play: 5, Sonos has truly delivered on its quest for a new flagship speaker. It has overhauled the design to really push the boundaries of what we expect from a wireless speaker. For current Sonos owners with the cash to spend, adding this to...

  • Abstract:  La difunta cadena de tiendas Tower Records solía decir: “No Music, No Life” lo cual es muy cierto pero, si la música no la escuchas como se debe, entiéndase un sistema de sonido o audífonos de buena calidad, tampoco sirve de mucho que te pongas a escuchar...

  • Solo funciona a través de WiFi o Ethernet pero si se pierde la conexión, tienes la opción de reproducir tu música a través de la base especial para iPhone o iPod, la conexión auxiliar o la salida PC
  • Dirigidos a quienes tienen planeado hacer un centro de entretenimientos al agregar muchas bocinas en su casa. Play: 5 es la gama más alta de bocinas de Sonos, con las que, a través de Wi-Fi, podrás escuchar tu música y a la vez, si agregas más bocinas ...
