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

Sonos er let at installere og bruge. Dertil er lyden fra Play:5 utrolig god, særlig i stereo og med en subwoofer koblet til
Sonos har ikke indbygget Bluetooth, og du er derfor bundet til det lukkede økosystem
Hvis du kan leve med, at højtalerne fra Sonos stadig er bundet til en app – som ganske vist er blevet markant bedre med tiden – går du ikke galt i byen med Sonos. Det eneste, der reelt trækker ned, er prisen og den manglende mulighed for at streame di...

Abstract: Sonos er for mange det mærke, man umiddelbart forbinder med multirumslyd. Det amerikanske selskab begyndte med trådløse højttalere allerede i 2002 og har skaffet sig et solidt forspring i forhold til konkurrenterne. Det er først og fremmest på brugervenl...
Abstract: Sonos har redesignet sin største højttaler helt fra bunden. Det er der kommet en særdeles vellydende multirumsoplevelse ud af. Sonos er kongen af trådløse multirumshøjttalere. Ikke kun fordi producenten var først på markedet, men især fordi Sonos indtil v...

Super brugervenlig opsætning, suverænt udvalg af musiktjenester og genial rumkorrektion. Lyden er flot med masser af kraft, imponerende bas og flot stereoperspektiv
Designet er kedeligt, og lyden er ikke så deltaljeret som hos de bedste konkurrenter. Eller på traditionelle anlæg. Kan ikke afspille højopløst lyd
Med deres nye topmodel og en smart, velfungerende rumkorrektion har Sonos tydeligvis rustet sig til kamp mod enhver tronprætendent. Og her står de stærkt! Nogle konkurrenter byder på lydmæssige finesser, flot design eller tekniske specialiteter. Men når...
SONOS PLAY:5 er en sindsyg god trådløs højttaler. Der findes andre lige så gode i samme prisklasse, men når man lægger SONOS økosystem oven i, så er SONOS stadig kongen af streaming af lyd.Uanset hvad slags musik vi smed efter den, gav den god og fyldig l...
Abstract: Kablernes storhedstid hører efterhånden fortiden til, og Sonos har flittigt bidraget til at sende de sprøde toner via trådløs magi. Vi ser dog et stigende antal af producenter som JBL, Harman Kardon og Samsung tilslutte sig denne dille og prikke til konku...

Jeg kan ikke lide denne højtaler, jeg synes systemet med et ekstra netværk og en lukket app er for besværligt også er lyden heller ikke genial, de skal tag og ligge nogen bedre højtalere i deres dimser også slå en aftale af med apple om airplay, så kan de...

Brugervenligt, God lyd, Nem opsætning
Skrabet equalizer, Ikke dansk menusprog
Af alle gadgets, jeg har forbundet med trådløse eller kablede netværk, kan jeg ikke komme i tanke om et eneste, der har været lige så brugervenligt som Sonos S5. Opsætningen er meget nem og pædagogisk, og man skal virkelig bare trykke på et par knapper f...
