Considering going with Google Wifi 3 piece mesh around the house - getting rid of / replacing my existing and weak wireless router. However, must work well with SONOS! Hoping I can just plug the SONOS Bridge into Google's designated router unit - like the old router and it works well? Will that be the case?

I must say..I started out with a Sonos Play 5 2nd Generation and when I heard the sound out of it I bought 2 Play 1s with stands...Today I bought a turntable and the Connect Amp unit..Down the road Im going to add 2 more Play 1s and then I'll be streaming to 5 speakers...The fact it runs on Bluetooth is fantastic!!! I cant wait to twirl some vinyl on it. Peace...Im Bob and it is nice to meet everyone!

OK, seriously now. I love my Sonos System. I have it literally (almost) everywhere. 3 Playbars, 3 Subs, 2 Play 5's, 3 Play 3's, and about a dozen Play 1's - and a couple of Alexa pucks besides. I am a Sonos Beta tester and refer Sonos to anyone who will listen (pun intended). #BrandLoyalty, #SonosRocks I have a large covered Florida lanai, pool, outdoor kitchen, TV, fire pit - the whole deal. Well, half the deal anyway because I am still dragging a Play 5 outside and plugging it in every time I go out there. #AnnoyedAF. You keep introducing new stuff - Play 1's with Alexa built in, Play 1's with new colors, now a turn-table. But what gives on an outdoor speaker? I will guarantee you that there are more people who want an outdoor speaker than there are people who still have vinyl albums in their garage/basement/attic/anywhere. AND - PLEASE - before you start responding - Please don't tell me to connect a Sonos amp to some other company's inferior "almost as goo

Since airplay2 allows streaming to multiple speakers, will it be possible to stream music to both a homepod and a airplay2 compatible sonos to allow simultaneous playback across both platforms? I like the idea of having siri on demand, but havent taken the plundge because sonos will sound better even though the homepod has a respectable sound....i'd be in to be able to put homepod in my office, have that sonos to move elsewhere, and not lose the ability to play to my office and the rest of rhe house at the same time.

I have a connect and 2 surround speakers. I tried connecting connect to receiver with optical audio but does not work. Do I use the network connection or coaxial cord to connect receiver instead?

Hi all, hoping someone can help. I have my DJ setup wired via ZP90, output is fine through line-in and plays through all my Sonos speakers fine. I have sorted the compression and when I move the vinyl on the turntables there is no lag, however there is a small delay on the headphones. My connections are as per the photographs. I have REC out on the amp but unable to find a way to stop the delay in the headphones. Can anyone please help based on the photos? Thanks in advance.

My Sonos Story;I have a wife and two young boys and no sound system of any kind in the house other than the TVs (big TV).  All in the course of one week each boy wanted a stereo system in their rooms and the wife wanted speakers out by the pool and a sound system in the house, I wanted a surround sound system for that big TV.  I live in Florida with no basement and no attic so running and hiding wires is a mess.  I also live in an Apple house, if Apple makes it I have a least three of them and what ever I get for a sound system must work with Apple.  So I was at looking a three different systems and a whole bunch of wire and money. So I began asking all my friends what they have and only one of them had a Sonos system.  After doing some more research I purchased two Play 3 speakers and a Bridge.  Right off the bat I had problems with the system dropping out.  I contacted Sonos and they told me to move the Bridge as it was having troub

I would like to request that you guys add support for two more speakers in the "5.1" surround sound setup. As big as the PlayBase is, it's still effectively doing mono output. I would like to be able to spread the frontal stereo image wider with a couple of satellite Ones/Play:1s speakers becoming the left and right channels while the PlayBase becomes the center channel. Also, you should take this a step further and integrate 2 more satellites for a 7.1 system with two speakers on either side of the listener sweet spot. P.S. Please add DTS support.

Just wanted to say how impressed I am with sonos after sales support. It is second to none. I split the shroud on my play 5 power cord where it plugs into the back of the speaker. I chatted with the online tech support, simply to ask where I could get one in Australia. My address was asked, and a replacement. Cable was sent, no questions asked and completely free of charge. So impressed. Love my sonos system!!

New to connect and trying to figure out how to connect all of this stuff. I have a functioning Sonos system wit 3 Play 1's and 1 Play 3. I just acquired a Definitive Sounbvar, Martin Logan wireless Sub and a connect. Trying to make them all work together. Any help would be much appreciated!!

Just set up my new Connect-Amp and as I've got loads of CDs I am looking for a small, stand alone, CD player to connect to. Similar proportions to the Amp would be good. Thanks.

Add Sub to more than one group.  Sub is located between two rooms/groups.  

I want to set up my Play 5 in my condo that only has wifi for the building. I have no access to a wired connection. Would I use a wireless router to create my own wireless network? How do I do that without access to the wired internet connection?

Hello, Brand new user here. Just bought a Connect and a One and so far I'm impressed with the overall experience of setup. The Sonos ONE sounds amazing on its own. However, I'm less impressed with the sound I'm getting from my Connect + Onkyo Receiver + B&W S3 speakers. It sounds very flat and very little bass when playing music through the Connect. Previously I was playing music w/ Pandora via Apple TV connected directly to the receiver and the sound was great. When playing through Sonos app + Connect, sound isn't nearly as "rich" I've connected the Connect via an optical cable going from the Connect to the Optical "IN" on the Onkyo. Is there something else I should be doing to ensure I'm getting the best sound I can from these speakers? Thanks!

I’d like to see a updated Sonos Connect to compete with the numerous other products in that seem to be out on the market now. I’ve been considering getting a Blusound Node 2, Elac Discovery or a AuraliC to connect to my two channel listening room to handle hi-res music playback. Ple

I already have a Sonos Connect, and is searching for a pair of active (amplified) in ceiling speakers to save me from buying a Sonos Connect AMP. I have found some relatively cheap and recommended bluetooth ceiling speakers, and would like to find out if these could be compatible with the Sonos Connect without any additional needs. The Bluetooth option itself is not a required option, it is more the solution of having the ability to integrate the ceiling speakers with the Sonos Connect which is the goal. 1. Pyle PDICBT852RD This is a 2-way 8" bluetooth ceiling speaker sold in a pair, whereas 1 speaker is active and 1 is passive. It is also said to be compatible with home theather (i.e. possible to integrate). Then it also should be possible to connect the speakers to Sonos Connect? 2.Monocor SPE-230BT Same as above, this is said to be an active in ceiling speaker sold in pair, whereas 1 is active and 1 is passive.

Boy, would I sure like Sonos capable headphones! Sure, I could setup a Connect and a headphone amp or some wireless headphone set, but I'd like to wear them around the house in a range no wireless or cable would reach. It can't be that tough to build a set of wireless SONOS headphones.

I'm not even sure what I'm trying to do is possible. Since I'm asking the question, I obviously haven't been able to make it work. I want to play my turntable connected to my stereo. I have connected an Airport Express to the receiver. I have set the airport up as an extended network. I want my Sonos to recognize that network and play wirelessly. Is this possible?

I have a Garrard record player working well with a Connect Amp and now wondered whether I could also use an existing Sony Compact Disc digital audio player with the Connect Amp. Line Out has an output level of 2V, 50 kilohms, Load impedance of more than 10 kilohms. Obviously don't want to risk damaging the Connect Amp.

I have a new play 5 2nd gen that is to replace a play 1. I've ran truetune and set both the play 1 and play 5 at flat EQ. They are sitting side by side. My issue is with anything below, say 45% volume, the sound out of the play5 is less desirable to me than the play 1. Specifically the vocals. Anything below 25% I can barely hear vocals at all and the bass and high treble are over powering which mutes out the vocals. With loudness off, the vocals are even more removed. When I switch the the play1, the voice is much more forward facing and pronounced making it easy to hear and listen to at low volume. It seems like a far more natural sound while the play5 seems more 'digital' or unnaturally amplified. It's hard to explain. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm quite surprised to walk away more impressed with the play1 at low volume than the play5. Everything I had read and based on the impressive set up, I had expected the play5 to outperform at all levels. Any sugguestions

Would like to see Sonos come out with an outdoor speaker. It would be great to have music in my courtyard. I think everyone that has a Sonos system would like to see one

We all love the sound quality of the Sonos products. However when the kids go to bed it could be great to group the audio from my Sonos Playbar to my Bluetooth headphones to watch a movie at the volume I would like. This could be done with an app update to expand grouping to include the iPhone or whatever device being used with the Sonos app and connect the headphones to the phone. Essentially using the phones Bluetooth to connect to the Sonos network via the Sonos app. I’m sure a more simplified was of doing the same thing could be done through the app with user friendly options/selections that could be created. As an accessibility feature this could allow those with hearing loss to wear Bluetooth headphones and watch at their own volume while the others in the room can use the Sonos Playbar.

I very much expect this has been asked for before, but is there any way to display/use the Sonos controller on the TV? I'd really like to see the album art, queue etc and be able to have a good way for guests to see/choose music and for that to be a conversation point even! An app shouldn't be too hard to implement on the major brands of smart TV. Much of the industry is driving towards making the TV the entertainment hub for the home.

Is there anywhere I can get a very short cable for a play 5 gen 2? I have wall mounted one and want to hide as much of the cable as possible.

I'm a few months into my Sonos setup, and absolutely love it. Yes, my first (two!) cars didn't cost this much, but I consider it one of the best investments I've ever made. I have 5 zones with a mix of Play:5 and Play:3 speakers, and also using my own speakers -- which is where the trouble is. In my living room, I have a Connect:Amp hooked up to a pair of Polk RTiA1 speakers (http://www.polkaudio.com/products/rtia1). The sound is... disappointing. I should clarify: The sound is spectacular, certainly more sophisticated than from my Play:3 or Play:5 speakers, which already sound great. But it doesn't seem as "powerful" as it should be, for lack of a better word. For one thing, with all zones on the same volume setting, my living room speakers are noticeably quieter than the others. I have to turn up the volume in that room by perhaps 20% to equal the volume being played elsewhere. Also, with the volume set somewhere around 5% maybe, there's not really any music coming out of the s
