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: Voor we duiken in de wereld van geluid willen we jullie eerst wat meer achtergrondinformatie geven over Sonos. Sonos is namelijk een bedrijf dat flink innoveert binnen de hi-fi wereld. Hierbij moet je denken aan draadloze verbindingen tussen speakers, int...
Mooi design, Goede prijs, Geluid top, Installatie kinderlijk eenvoudig, letterlijk, Fijne bediening met apps op alle platformen, Modulair systeem
Echt waar, geen, 24-11-2011: Zoals ook in de reactie aangegeven, kan er 1 negatief punt worden genoemd, namelijk dat je Spotify Premium nodig hebt als je Spotify wil gebruiken. Ik had hem niet als minpunt, aangezien ik Premium al had
goed geluid, draadloos, handig te bedienen, makkelijk uitbreidbaar
prijs
De Sonos S5 is een prachtig geluidssysteem dat zeker niet misstaat in je huis. Zonder snoeren, handig te bedienen en makkelijk uitbreidbaar, iets wat zeker aanslaat. Eén Sonos S5 unit is op de markt verkrijgbaar voor de prijs van 399 euro, 2 units inclusi...

Het is zes jaar geleden dat Sonos de eerste Play:5 op de markt bracht. De nieuwe iteratie is meteen ook de best klinkende Sonos-luidspreker tot nu toe...
Veel meer detail, Toekomstpotentieel, Moderner design, Touchcontrols, Uitstekende gebruikerservaring app, Aanbod streamingdiensten
Prijsverhoging, Trueplay (voorlopig) enkel voor iOS-apparaten
Alleen al voor het echt aanpakken van de zwakke punten van de eerste Play:5 verdient Sonos een schouderklopje. De nieuwe Play:5 is in alle opzichten beter. Tel daar alle pluspunten van het Sonos-systeem bij, zoals de responsieve app en het uitgebreide a...
Abstract: Op korte tijd hebben heel wat merken multiroomproducten gelanceerd, maar weinig van die namen hebben zo goede hifi-credentials als Denon. Doordachte keuzes en een mooi assortiment maken de HEOS-lijn volgens ons zeker het overwegen waard.Denon is een van...

Gebruiks- en installatiegemak, Flexibiliteit, Algemene geluidskwaliteit
Dure remote quasi verplicht voor wie geen smartphone of tablet heeft
