Sonos five. needs a rethink. Bought this speaker at Xmas Big mistake for now.The crossover setup in my opinion is well off. Yes, good base. But music is not just about base!. . What is missing is the voices, way back in the background wearing a Facemask!. I want to hear what is in the music not just thumping base that drowns out voices and percussion. This would be an exceptional speaker if they got the balance right.

I want to be totally truthful about my purchase of the PLAY 5 SPEAKER. and my experience of the setup and expectations if this £500 speaker.

To give you an idea about myself, I suppise i am an audiophile who appreciates good sounding music.

After reading every possible review online I thought yes, this is the speaker for me.

The s2 app in my opinion is good. Never had a problem.

The speaker is not what I expected. Tuned this speaker more than 100 times but not to what I expected.

Very poor vocals. I now call it the speakers that produces sound with a Facemask on.

I have decided to sell this overpriced piece of nonsense for the keff's. Same price!!!!

Sonos keeps deleting my messages when I try to tell the truth.

That is because the company is full of greed and no Support to customers

Shame on you greedy Sonos.

@Tech_nician62 I’m no audiophile, but I love my Sonos Play:5 and think it sounds fantastic and is worth every penny.

FYI… most audiophiles would tell you that Sonos has never been considered a high-end, Hi-Fi audio speaker.

Maybe you are used to inferior sounding music.But at the end of the day if you are going to spend £500 on a speaker you expect results, which this speaker will never provide

I think there’s some good advice in here: listen to speakers before you buy them. Sonos does have a no questions asked return policy, so there will be enough time to see if you like the speakers.
