General feedback and conversation

Why is it that when I sign in and try to buy a product it's listed in euro's and not in GBP

I bought a new Play 5 gen 2 in December 2019 with the idea that if I loved it, I would buy a second right away—I wanted stereo. I did love it and but almost immediately Sonos discontinued the model I had just bought, and the new 5 was designed not to pair with the Play 5 gen 2. I called and I wrote Sonos asking to return the unit so I could upgrade. They offered me a 15% credit instead. Sonos wouldn’t stand behind their sale and I was stuck. Then this week, two and a half years later I received a survey from Sonos. I told them what had happened and they set up a call. They never called. So I called them and after 40 minutes on hold they escalated the issue. All for naught, they just offered the 15% again. Sonos wasted my time and money.

Reading some topics here in the SONOS COMMUNITY site and ran across Sonos speakers going dead in a short time with only a 30% discount offered on a replacement. Here in the good old USA, we get a whopping 12 month warranty. However, across the water, they get 24 months. So the question arises , why doesn’t the customer here get the 24 month warranty also. 

Please can i add my vote to this kind of feature. Sonos Beam Gen2 as centre channel, sonos fives as fronts with sonos one sl as rears. Sub if you want to go crazy. How good would this sound. Very good indeed i would think :-).

Hey Caroline V..community manager…why do you turn off comments after posting about the latest update on the Arc.. so many people are upset because their system sounds like crap after the update. If you would have left comments on..you’d know this.. not good business Caroline ..

A alguien le ha pasado que Sonos por Segunda vez se olvida de poner la factura? Motivo por el cual aduana devuelve mi compra suscitando ello inconvenientes en mi trabajo ya que lo uso para el café bar. 

2 Soundbars, ONE on each side of TV??? In the house we are currently building, I prefer to NOT have the soundbar sitting on the fireplace mantle under the tv. (the whole idea of having a frame tv is to keep it from screaming ‘I’m a TV’)  I’ll have cabinets with shelves on each side of the fireplace. I’m wondering if I can use 2 soundbars - one on each side of the tv/fireplace on the shelves?  Or just one soundbar off to one side of the tv?  I’m concerned that will make the sound weird if its not centered.  Or is there another sonos option - maybe a surround system - that would allow me to not have a speaker centered on the fireplace below the tv but still provide great sound and clear dialogue?Thanks for any help you guys can give! 

Has Sonos considered making a simple usb c microphone to sell to android users so that they can use truplay? Seems like the most logical solution to the issue of recoding the app for thousands of devices microphones. 

3 years ago I  changed my system over from BOSE to SONOS, thinking that SONOS was far better. Bad mistake. In the lounge I have a player, Bass Sub unit and 2 Play 1s. I’ve just had fibre optic installed into the house and I have tried to connect up my system. I then found out that there was no power light to the Bass unit. Tried everything. Even spoke to the help desk. They agree that the Bass is dead as a Dodo. There is nothing they can do as the product is out of warranty. So, 3 years and under 6 uses, I'm left with a heap of junk. The help centre gave me a link to get it repaired. The link was to retail shops like Curry’s. I bitterly regret moving from BOSE. Rant over.

Won’t be buying anymore Sonos.. I curse them everyday for this last miserable upgrade forced on us. Sony Tv volume is at 20..sounds like a whisper. 

Hi everybody,Well, I don't need to mention about the lates 2 patches and all the misery that brought with is. I decided to email the CEO, Patrick Spence, with a kind request.Here’s what I wrote him (I’m not from the USA, so apologies to maybe not the totally correct language):Dear Patrick Spence,I’m a Sonos costumer, living in The Netherlands. The reason why I reach out to you directly is because there are some issue’s going on since patch 14.12 (and still in 14.14) where a lot of costumers who have the Arc and the Sub, are affected.In the last few weeks, the community forums kinda explodes with complaints about the Trueplay which entirely flattens out the Sub. Me personally had to feel the drivers to make sure it was still participating in the setup.From day one, the patch was released, I immediately concluded there was a problem and contacted Sonos-support about it. After hours spent with the technicians they decided t

Sonos needs a Home Theater Port/ processor. 3 hdmi inputs and 1 hdmi out 12 volt trigger and that’s about it. They would sell like hot cakes. There is a ton of theater people with nice amp setups but would like to have the Sonos control. They should also do a 5.1 Sonos amp for people who already have in wall speakers for there legacy system. It would not affect there speaker sales. There just going to bring more customers into there ecosystem.

Id like to know if I can return my Sonos Arc since you decided to completely ruin the arc with your 14.12 and 14.14 updates.the volume I normally used was 20-30 and now  i have to go to around 50-60% to get the same volume.Bass has gotten super flat, and the overall sound profile is so terrible. I spent a thousand euro on the Arc. But I would have never bought it if I had listened to it with the 14.12 or 14.14 update, heck I would have never bought it if I was informed beforehand that you would do updates that couldn’t be rolled back….Why is automatic updates even on per default???I would like to receive support in getting my Arc returned. I rather get something from Bose now, Heos or samsung.Kind regardsMitchell

I love the sleep timer and the auto-off after x minutes of the sonos alarm. However, in both cases it is extremely annoying that the music always abruptly stops after the specified time (especially for the sleep timer since this always wakes me up again).It would be super cool to have the option (when setting the sleep timer or alarm) to "play until end of song", meaning that after x minutes, the currently playing song will play to its and and only THEN will the music stop. This would be a much more gently way to end the music. Alternatively you could also specify a certain number of songs. I guess a slow fade-out would also do the job, but I like the first option better.

Hi,I got a notification in my Sonos App a few days ago about the Sonos Upgrade program, saying I had eligible devices - Beam Gen 1, 2x Play 1’s and a Play One (Gen 1).But when I login to my Sonos account and check on the system page where my speakers are listed, I don’t see any option to claim the discounts. Tried a couple of times, no dice. And no, discounts have never been claimed on these speakers previously.Would really appreciate some help from the Sonos team. Thanks

Did the 14.4 update.. then trueplay. Now I’m getting this notification for the Arc. What and why is this? Hopefully a SONOS rep will chime in and give a definitive answer. 

This 14.12 volume mapping is the worst! Used to listen to tv at 20…now it’s around 50. The Sonos employee that thought this up must have woke up with his/her head stuck where the sun doesn’t shine. Curse every time I see this volume crap.

I upgrade my full Sonos system their their S2 products and was 3 amps short.  On 5/30/22, I placed I upgraded through Sonos for those 3 amps and was promised a ship date of 8/12/22.  They did not ship.  I’ve followed up with Dennis in Customer Service and each time he says it is a shipping issue and there is no ETA.  No ETA could mean a week, a month or a year.  As a long time Sonos customer, they aren’t showing any desire to appease my concerns.  Has anyone succeeded in getting a real response from them?

Sonos released corporate earnings on 12-August.   CEO and executive management spoke to investors and answered questions from Wall Street analysts.   If they won't answer customers, I thought we should see what they say to the analysts and their stockholders.   For those who want to deep dive, the full transcript is here:   https://seekingalpha.com/article/4532757-sonos-inc-sono-ceo-patrick-spence-on-q3-2022-results-earnings-call-transcript But my concern as a customer is the backlog, specifically on the AMP.   It seems like this could last into the end of the year, or into early next year based on the comments from the CEO.    Here are some highlights from the executives public comments on the backlog from 12-Aug:“we remain supply constrained in some of our key p

I've had nothing but trouble with my sonos since purchasing and completely regret going for this wireless system, alexa talks back and tells me she's playing the music I ask for but nothing at all comes out of the speakers, Spotify will not connect for some reason either so I'm left either using the system to watch TV or play sonos radio which I can't skip or pick a track on.  I've been through all the suggestions on the Internet trying to get it connected and working properly but nothing seems to work  Any ideas 💡 

As a music and Sonos lover, I like others (I think), would love to incorporate the Hifi stereo talents of the Fives, into our home theatre setup as front channels.At the moment, we can add the Fives as rears to a Soundbar front.Fives are generally considered overkill for Surround duties. However for pure music use, the Fives have benefits a soundbar (no matter how good) can't match. It also means the Fives are behind you when listening to music.If we could place the Fives as front L/R channels, using a Soundbar as centre, this would provide an awesome sound, with some One SL as Surround and Sub, it would be very traditional 5.1 like. Yes Atmos would be lost, but it just doesn't work very well in every room anyway (open plan rooms etc).I know Sonos might think this would mean users wouldn't buy both products, an Arc setup and separate Fives for Hifi. However, I do think many are looking for an all in one setup, and just don't have the deep pockets for both

First off all, I am a Sonos fan, really picky with audio and this got me from the first sound, so I’m here with a sonos beam bar, 2 play 1s and a Play 5. Everything is wired to but the play 5, everything works perfect, but the play 5. Now. I have reserved my play 5 IP and make it static, it works good for some time, the it disappears and I have to plug it off and plug it back in to make it work. Now, to my title, I have seen many people complaining here and there about sonos dissapearing from the app, usually the people got the blame for x or y, but the fact that the system needs an auto refresh recover system that won’t imply the user doing technicalities, in a perfectly working wifi with low noise and good reception, is just needed, is totally there! You guys from Sonos blaming always the users won’t help this great company, is always the situation with the user having “not done something” but is never the system, come on! Set a good team with engineers testing the different escen

See the image. The site is so slow and image heavy on a Gigabit connection that Firefox simply gives up and displays what has been loaded so far.

Thank you Sonos devs for adding a new setting for Sonos Installers. This setting allows a single firmware update of all products simultaneously at the end of setup rather than updating each product one by one as you go.Our only feedback is:On our last 2 installs, this didn’t seem to work (maybe there are a couple of bugs) Will there be a way to setup a new system with no user account (then the customer can claim the account at a later stage. i.e customer doesn’t need to authorize account instantly) See: Settings > App Preferences > Installer Setup

Evidently the moderator or who ever runs this community page doesn’t review it often enough. I’ve seen this quite a bit lately.
