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
Abstract: Test: Sonos Zoneplayer S5 med Iphone Den här ljudlådan placeras på valfri plats och spelar trådlöst upp all musik du har på datorn eller i telefonen. Vi har testat hur bra den funkar tillsammans med Iphone-appen som kan fjärrstyra enheten. Fakta Typ: ...
Abstract: Vi har testat flera modeller av såväl Sonos som Logitech Squeezebox tidigare, men ännu har vi inte ställt dem mot varandra i en regelrätt duell. Vi har tagit in en Sonos S5 och en Squeezebox Touch – två erkänt starka produkter med sina respektive styrk...
Abstract: Vi har testat ett lättfattligt musiksystem som strömmar all vår musik från datorn till högtalare och styrs med iPhone. Vi har egentligen bara en detalj att klaga på - priset. När din musiksamling inte längre består av CD-skivor i bokhyllan utan filer...
Abstract: Den ansluts till ett nätverk och kan sedan spela upp musik som finns i en dator eller på en nätverkshårddisk. S5 ansluts med en nätverkskabel till nätverket. Har du ett Sonossystem sedan tidigare kan det anslutas trådlöst till det. I bägge fallen gå...
Abstract: Det är ingen tvekan om att våra musikvanor – och musikanläggningen som sådan – har ändrats markant de senaste åren. De flesta av oss staplar inte längre hyllorna fulla med CD-skivor, utan väljer i stället att förvara musiksamlingen på en MP3-spelare...

Svært enkel installasjon. Bredt utvalg av høyttalere i familien. Klar og fyldig lyd
Få tilkoblinger. Relativt lukket system
Det er en grunn til Sonos' dominerende posisjon blant multirom-høyttalerne. Play:5 II er beundringsverdig enkel å installere og håndtere, samt at alt bare fungerer. Dessuten finnes det flere størrelser på høyttalerne, høyttalere for TV-en samt subwoofer...

Sonos Play:5 er den største høyttaleren til Sonos. Ikke bare er den størst rent fysisk, men den spiller også størst. Den kan brukes alene for å gi god lyd i flere rom, eller settes opp som et stereo-oppsett med to stk. Play:5 slik vi har gjort. Den spille...

Sonos er lett å installere og bruke. I tillegg er lyden fra Play:5 utrolig god, spesielt i stereo og med en subwoofer koblet til
Sonos har ikke innebygget Bluetooth, og du er derfor bundet til det lukkede økosystemet
Kan du leve med at høyttalerne fra Sonos fortsatt er bundet til en app, som imidlertid har blitt markant bedre med tiden, bommer du ikke med Sonos. Det eneste som trekker ned, er prisen, og den manglende muligheten for å strømme direkte fra mobil via Blue...
