General feedback and conversation

It’s my observation that more and more people are discovering the great sound, that a pair of Fives combined with the sealed Sub Mini makes. It completes the Fives, and make them open up more, while the bass is tighter and stronger. However I recently moved the speakers and Sub Mini to a larger room, and now I need a little more bass, but unlike the soundbar, which alows me to add two subs (though only the larger sub for whatever strange reason), I can’t add a second Sub Mini. It should just be a simple update, and you’ll sell a whole lot more subs.So can we expect this dual subs setup for our stereo Fives in the near future? Thanks.   

I walked into my casita thirty minutes ago and heard my Sonos playing the local Tuscons classical radio station. I went about my morning and then just walked in again and silence...not a peep out of the player…I grabbed my phone and started the app and saw this:Pressing Casita led to this:Followed by this:Then before I could press anything this ad was rather unhelpfully thrust into my face:To which I responded with “Not now” and then back on the prior screen I selected “More Information” to see this: Pressing OK takes me back to this:Then choosing “not now” led to this:Selecting “Casita” leads to the entire “user experience” being repeated.As I’ve said (and many others too) this is poor design, poor software, poor user experience it is certainly not accurate to describe Sonos as We’re not limited by what’s possible now. With a bold vision for the future of home sound, we’ve painstakingly invented the technology we needed to make it a reality. orWe’re a spirited team of individuals who

HelloI have a few things to “unpack” in this post regarding the following:Sonos Era 300 Stand vs. Sanus Era 300 Stands (static and adjustable) Setup of Sonos Era 300 stands with Era 300 speaker Era 300 Speaker in stereo pair vs Five stereo pair My opinion as to why the Era 300 has no center channel in surround mode Era 100 vs Sonos One (Gen1/Gen2) Era 100 designation in System > About My System when connected via EthernetSonos Era 300 Stand vs. Sanus Era 300 Stands (Fixed and adjustable)The Sonos Era 300 Stand is an engineering marvel. The assembled height is perfect (IMO) for the vast majority of installations when the Era 300’s are used as surround speakers (and when they are used as a front stage stereo pair).  There’s a lot of Calculus engineering principles employed to achieve a minimalist design that balances a 9.85 lb., ( 4.47kg) speaker on a 37.634 in (956 mm) pole. The stress points obviously zero out which allows the massive speaker to float; as if no external support is u

Case # ***. Contacted Sonos Tech help and was connected to Syria? Shane in the Phillipines  who requested access to my computer. I gave consent and she copied all my CONTACTS which is now being used to SCAM all my contacts across the world.Don't give access to any SONOS employee, especially if they are located outside North America..It will take me about 2 years to rebuild my 1000+ email contacts.  Will SONOS help in any way??More info can be obtained from:   ***Moderator note: Personal information removed from public area for your protection.

I’m going to raise this topic one more time in the hopes that someone from Sonos will respond. As many others have noted in the countless threads on this topic, there are requests for this feature that go back 15 years.  And before someone chimes in that this has already been implemented, let me clarify what I (and many others) are requesting and it is definitely not the currently implemented grouping feature.A named group, as I define it, would be a persistent group of speakers with a unique name that could be selected as you would an individual speaker.  In its most basic implementation this could be used as the target of an alarm.  How silly is it that the only way I can have an alarm play to multiple speakers is to go in every evening and create a group and then hope that no one in the household disturbs it?  As it is, if I want NPR to play automatically in the morning in the kitchen and bedroom I have to set up multiple alarms and put up with unsynced audio.Beyond this simple enha

So I’m watching a Dolby Atmos movie and all is good. I happen to open the Sonos app and see rooms that say not connected and has the red dot by each. So I go to open a room that says no connection on the app and the app crashes to the iPhone Home Screen. Also, one of the rooms listed as not connected is my main tv room. But, I never lost any sound from the Arc, sub, or Ones and watched the entire movie with no interruptions.Then the bathroom room disappears on the list of my system , and two kitchens appear. Then tv room appears twice listed. Never happened before. Wondering if it’s the same on my iPad. Ideas?  

Please allow us to remove the Sonos Radio from the Browse list in the app (See screenshot, below). Sonos Radio should work the same way all non-Sonos music services do: you can remove them.  There have been multiple threads on the topic, now locked, but no clear response from Sonos about resolving this issue. 

Yet another pissed off customer. I am trying to send a broken Move [Dead Battery)  conveniently out of warranty by three months even although it’s sat in storage for a year .back to Poland for a 30% discount code on a replacement.I printed out the forms sent to me by Sonos customer service These were a shipping label and 3 waybills. I dropped them off at the designated shop . The owner checked it was all there. Told me the problems she had with UPs Ive now been sent an e mail from the wife with a photo of the box dumped on the porch and asking for an invoice that I know nothing about.im now out the country for another 6 weeks so can’t deal with it ,I’ve tried to open the support page by putting the number they gave and told me to keep ,but it does not recognise it .So what do I do now ?I was looking at updating a few of my older system , but if this is the back up you receive I think I will go elsewhere.   

Can you come up with a wireless headset product that will tie into the Sonos Beam for the hearing impaired?

Does anyone know if I can exchange my sub gen 2 for a sub mini in the Sonos market and pay whatever differential there is? And if not how would you recommend that I sell it?

I was told, today, that the speaker stands for the new 300’s won’t be available till June. Wow…

Sonos should really focus on reducing idle energy consumption of the existing devices! Both the environmental impact and the impact on energy bills is significant (especially in some regions of Europe) when expanding a Sonos System. I have a system with a Beam Gen2, two Sonos One Gen2, and together the consumption exceeds 13W! It’s MORE than three lightbulbs constantly on 24/7! It accounts for about 120kWh a year, which is what you’d consume to drive 700km with an electric car!! It’s just crazy! Also, with current energy prices it could account to more than 70€ a year! It’s like having yet another subscription service! Also, I’d like to expand my setup with a Sub Mini, but I can’t tollerate to rise further this energy consumption! Sonos should first of all do everything that’s possible to optimize the devices and reduce idle energy consumption, but also develop an “Eco” mode -which could also be scheduled, for example- which brings the devices in a “deep sleep” state, which might requi

HelloMy sonos S1 units just got updated software release 11.7.1.  Been searching the forum and internet , could not find a reference. Anyone seen release notes?Peter

Vorrei capire come contattare il servizio si assistenza via mail?Mi rimanda sempre a una chat senza assitenti disponibili, oppure a un numero verde senza risposta…

I don't have access to employee, upgrade, or any other discounts. But sometimes I see people offering their discounts, like here: https://old.reddit.com/r/sonos/comments/11nb118/upgrade_credit_trade I've got Champagne tastes on a basic beer budget, racing along on the hedonic treadmill (google it). I now have two Ones and a Roam, and I'm looking to obtain a Sub Mini and another Roam, preferably with a 15% discount. Is there anything I need to be particularly cautious of in using someone else's discount?

Is the Sonosnet dying out? The new eras 100 & 300 can no longer use or perform it! They can only handle home wlan like move or roam. If that's actually the case, I hope, that wireless repeaters will be perfect supported in the future.Dirk  

 Love the determination, dedication & commitment to provide a one of a kind in home listening experience by innovating every day. How can music enthusiasts like myself & most Sonos owners who have purchased Sonos for the same listening experience. Has there ever been any discussion or consideration as how to encourage Sonos owners to upgrade into your most current line of product(s) with some sort of incentive or loyalty plan? I myself am already looking at upgrading putting my current expenses in my Sonos products at loss. Until I can get some kind of return selling them thru a online source. With a incentive program like such, knowing I could upgrade to the latest technology Sonos offers & able to get a return on the products I’ve already purchased for their quality, clearly having the understanding moving into Sonos newest products offered will only enhance my listening experience even more, they would already be on order. Just a thought? 

Giving SONOS support access to your computer opens your computer to hacking and hijacking. My CONTACTS list was copied and is now being used by SCAMMERS for scamming all over the world.Asked SONOS for help but I don’t think they will answer my call.DEs 

I’d like to make a feature request for a night mode that doesn’t completely eliminate all bass. A mode that will basically tighten up the dynamic range so all sounds can be heard around the same level for late night listening that won’t be interrupted by that one surprise explosion scene that wakes up the house followed by the speech you can’t hear immediately before and after.  Thanks!

Last Saturday night, something failed in my Playbase (purchased May 2017). I got into a chat with a rep, and about an hour later Sonos said that the PB was bad and they were replacing it with a Beam Gen 2. When I asked about cost for this, I was told “no charge”! I got the replacement yesterday and just finished setting up and configuring. So I’m a little numb...The Beam is a definite improvement,but I have no idea how or why it was covered by warranty. I did have to return the PB, but all I had to do was take it to UPS and pay them $20.00 to box it up for me. They paid return shipping as well.I’m very impressed and wondering a bit about what could have been in the PB to make them want it back so badly.  :) 

Why does the sonos app suck so much?  

… The Android app is a real disaster! But how can SONOS claim to be at the top of the range with such a... How to say... thing? Horror ? Application absurdity?This app crashes randomly! It's a horror when it has to be used! My account is sometimes lost! My Spotify account link too. Have to init again all my SONOS system for the Xth time! And now, I can't even find my 2 One SLs anymore... All my equipment works without any problem with my wifi access point (the point is a few meters away) EXCEPT SONOS which sometimes crashes! And fed up with the support that looks for quirky reasons but never questions their equipment when the bug is there: the bug is SONOS! 😡Sorry for the angry side of the message but there, fed up!

I have Sonos s2 app on my system with 3 sonos ones, and 2 roams.  When I try to search for music on the app, I can usually only type a few characters before the text is deleted.  It seems to be related to the search function on the app. It's as if when the app is trying to search while I'm typing, as it's returning the results, it automatically selects the text I'm typing, which is then overwritten by the next character.  Sometimes I get a couple characters to stay, and they are highlighted (selected).  If I don't tap in the search bar to unselect the text, if I type another character it deletes/overwrites the text.   I've seen other posts about this, but they did not have a solution. I use the S1 app at work, no issues. Very disappointed in the S2 "upgrade"

Can I add another Sonos product to my app and profile that is in a different country and house? Or do I need a new profile for the 2nd country? 

I was using Sonos move for almost one month, before the problem, I had use airplay function and there is no problem at all. But yesterday, i can’t find the airplay on my device even thought I didn’t change my Wi-Fi password or using another wifi (ps. Wi-Fi functioning well). Fortunately, I still can use Bluetooth for playing music. So what is happen is happen to my sonos move and how should I solve the problem?
