trueplay for Android?

They are different between devices but the same within each model - that is the difference no matter what you want to hear.

Knowles Electronics, AAC, Analog Devices, Goertek etc all supply microphones to iOS devices....they certainly don't always use the same components; manufacturing doesn't work that way. It's dependent on supply chains, availability and stock. Half of them are even rebadged and there's no way to know the originating manufacturer.

You seem to know a lot more than Sonos who actually tested devices in their lab for more than a year.

In the investment world it's no secret that Sonos have been guilty of falling asleep for the last few years, and resting on their laurels a bit while everyone else has played catch up. Their unique selling point is no-longer unique, and that's a big problem for Sonos.

Sonos have been cutting jobs and shares have plummeted in recent years. It isn't a good scenario for the company.

The suspicion is that they simply can't afford the resources to develop for Android.

Amazon Echo technology / Google Chromecast + Bluetooth speakers is pretty much leaving Sonos in the shadows.

Shares plummeting? Sonos is privately held.

And I thought you sold your Sonos. Why are you still stalking your ex-girlfriend?

Shares? Sonos is a privately held company. They have no shares. Care to try again?

Privately held companies still have shares, they are just traded privately. Sheesh.

So, no answer for why you are still stalking your ex-girlfriend? She's over you, dude. Let it go. 🙂

I sold my Sonos "home theatre" setup but kept my Play 1's.

Try again.

So you are staying with the girl you hate? Wow, it's worse than I thought.

I still have Sonos speakers - the 7 update piqued my interest and I actually came here looking for reviews (amongst other places). But all I can find is people complaining about

No Android support
No iPhone 7 support
No ability for users to control channels themselves (still)
No ability to play Spotify Podcasts (still)

So basically confirmed my logic in selling it 🙂

"Control channels themselves"? What the H-E-Double Hockey Sticks are you talking about?

"Spotify Podcasts"? Sonos just made it possible to play any and all content thorough the Spotify app, including podcasts. Seems to me that this is something the version 7.0 release specifically fixed.

And Trueplay has never been possible on Android. You missed a "(still)". And none of your complaints (the ones that actually make sense, that is) are unique to the Playbar aka the "home theatre"setup". So I ask again, why exactly are you staying with the girlfriend you seem to hate?
