The Google AI summaries seem like they’re purely drawn from Sonos propaganda, and make it harder to get through the search results for useful information. Just worked through the usual system not found problems.Sorry, just a sucker who finally broke down and bought a couple of additional speakers.
I received an email from Sonos, and a follow up from Cambridge Focus Research to participate in a study. The email did come from a Sonos.com email address. Just wanted to check in to see if this is legit, and if anyone else received, and/or is participating.
I’m looking for a used Gen 1 or Gen 2 subwoofer.Thanks,Tim
Upgrade programma ik heb dive spullen draaien van jullie als ik de upgrade doe , blijf alles wel werken en update wat ik heb draaien groetjes herman

Hey Sonos Community, Wow, what a fantastic couple of months it's been celebrating our 20-year anniversary! I hope you all enjoyed participating in the celebrations and the potential to win some nice prizes 😉During the celebrations, we took a trip down memory lane, revisiting some of our biggest milestones and the cool innovations that have shaped our sound experiences. It was awesome hearing your stories and seeing how Sonos has been a part of your lives.One of the highlights for me was seeing all the creative ways you use your Sonos gear. From showing off your favorite products in our throwback thursdays and clever hacks to sharing your unique setups, it was truly inspiring to see the different ways you use your Sonos setups from a day to day.I also had a chance to to chat with some of the key people behind Sonos. I had the chance to talk to Dick Mooijman, VP of Revenue and Strategy EMEA, and Rich Comer, Sr. Manager of Beta Programs, and ask them the same questions as Stacy Archibald
Hey Sonos Community! 🌟 For this week's Throwback Thursday, we’re taking a nostalgic trip down memory lane to revisit our transformative journey from 2020 to 2025. These years were filled with innovation, challenges, and significant milestones that shaped who we are today. Let's dive into what hardware released during this period. This is also when I was attending a few events at Sonos in the Nordics, so why not show you all some of the products 'live' instead of only using promotional photos? 2020: A Year of New BeginningsIn 2020, we launched the Sonos Arc, our premium soundbar with Dolby Atmos support, delivering immersive, cinema-quality sound:The Arc was our first product to support Dolby Atmos, and it quickly became a favorite for home theater enthusiasts. Alongside it, we introduced the Sonos Sub Gen 3 and Sonos Five on June 8th, enhancing bass performance and providing rich, room-filling audio. Later that year, we released the Sonos Arc SL on December 2nd, offering a sleek, mi
Throwback Thursday: Our Journey from 2015 to 2019Hey Sonos community! 🌟 I'm back with our third Throwback Thursday. This time covering the period of 2015 to 2019. When it comes to the numbers we grew to 259,161 users, 146,928 of those were registered during this period. Hitting a quarter of a million users was a big milestone for us! With the higher number of users it makes sense that we would also hit some big numbers regarding content. Well we managed to hit over 326k posts in this period, almost twice as many as the previous periods 170k posts.During those 5 years, these 5 topics with the most replies:SAVE THE CR100 (3142 replies) No sound on certain channels after system update today.

Through the years I have seen a few ways people have customized their Sonos setups and thought it would be great to start a discussion on the best DIY hacks and tweaks you've all come up with. Whether it's improving sound quality, integrating with other systems, or just making your setup more aesthetically pleasing, I'd love to hear your experiences and ideas!That being said, we have to say this. Be aware that certain activities such as opening your Sonos device may void the warranty. Please see the terms of use for additional detail.Some of you may wonder how some of our products come into production, instead of telling you, I thought I would show you two of the prototypes I have seen. These did after all start out as “hacks” one way or another. 🐺 = A When I was visiting the Boston office I got to walk along the rows of products being tested and spotted this jenga tower with a cardboard box on top of it. Anyone able to guess what this cardboard box would end up turning into?How many

Hello! I saw your excellent initiative, which I really liked, but unfortunately, I cannot take advantage of this great price in Hungary. I have tried several places, including the SONOS website and their customer service, but this offer is not available in Hungary. I have a SONOS ARC soundbar and I would like to complement it with 2 Era 300 speakers. This product is very expensive here; I just calculated that each piece costs nearly 500 €. I would like to have a good solution for this here as well. Thank you very much

Look at how the package design for the Play:5/Five has changed through the years. Which design is your favorite? Which is your least favorite? My favorite has always been #2. I always liked the contrast of the bright gradient of colors with the darker panels and black speaker.As much as I appreciate sustainable packaging, my least favorite would have to be #4. But kudos to Sonos for actually giving a damn about our planet.
Hey everyone. Today, I am excited to introduce a special guest, Stacy Archibald, one of our Beta Program Managers at Sonos with over 13 years of experience. Having worked on numerous hardware programs, features, and software development projects, Stacy brings a unique perspective on the company's journey. That's why we reached out to her to share her insights on the community and her time here at Sonos. Here is what we asked her: What is your role at Sonos and how long have you been working here? My total tenure at Sonos is just over 13 years. For the past ten, I have been a Beta Program Manager working on hardware programs, features, and software. Before that I worked in Music Service Operations for about a year, and started here as a Retail Experience Specialist for 2 years. How has the community and its discussions influenced your work?Our community has always played a pivotal role in everything we do at Sonos, especially my position in Beta. The voice of our customer is one we rel
Hey everyone,Last week, we mentioned it was time to show off your setups, and we hope you've had a chance to make them presentable! I've been on a journey with Sonos for years, starting with just one speaker (my dear Sonos One) and gradually building up to a full home audio system with a Beam and two Sonos Ones. My setup is still evolving as I try to find what works best for me, and I'd love to hear about your experiences too.How has your setup changed over time? Have you added more speakers, upgraded models, or tried out new features? What’s your favorite part of your current setup? For me, it's the ability to “hide” the speakers in plain sight.Feel free to post pictures of your Sonos setup—I’m curious to see how you've arranged your speakers and integrated them into your home. Do you have any tips or tricks for getting the best sound or making the most of your Sonos system? I'd love to hear them.Personally, my recent upgrade has been adding a pair of console tables to place my Era 30
Received a “25% off for 20 years” offer today. looks like a scamsmells like a conoh and WTF it’s from noreply@con.sonos.com ? i seriously hope this is not a genuine Sonos offer..
Good day.I have 10+ registered Sonos devices and I live in Suriname. My partner lives in the UK and has one registered device.Today he received an email message with the "25% off for 20 years" offer. I did not. When I studied the offer, I realized that my territory was not eligible.1. Aren't my $€£ as hard as his?2. Am I not considered a loyal costumer?The irony is that I introduced him to Sonos...Note: we have an official Sonos dealer in Suriname.
🎉 Hey Sonos Community! 🎉Guess what? As of yesterday the Sonos Community is 20 years old! It's been an amazing journey, and we couldn't have done it without all of you. We're kicking off the celebration of our 20-year anniversary with a message from Sonos’ CEO, Patrick Spence:[Click Here]But that's not all! We'll be celebrating for the next few months with some special events, and chances to connect with fellow Sonos users. Plus, we'll be taking a trip down memory lane, looking back at the incredible 20 years of our community and Sonos.Stay tuned for this Thursday, where we will have our first Throwback Thursday looking back at the first 5 years of the Sonos community. We would love to hear which posts or articles have been the most helpful to you over the years. Personally, I found this great overview by @AjTrek1, which compares different home theater setups, to be very helpful when my friends wanted to know what they should get.Feel free to post your favorite article/post down belo
The Sonos app is the WORST. Sonos has steadily declined over the years. The app makes it impossible to view and select music from my library. I have lots of music stored on my NAS. I don’t want to be directed to every paid service in existence. Sonos has become more laggy over time, and it’s not worth spending another dime on. User for many years. Now looking for alternatives.
Hey everyone,I thought it would be fun to start a conversation about our first experiences with Sonos products. Whether you're a long-time user or just recently joined the Sonos ecosystem, we'd love to hear your story!For me, my first Sonos product was in 2019. Sonos wasn’t that big in Denmark at the time, so I didn’t know about them until I joined one of their partner locations in Edinburgh in 2018. But when I joined Sonos in 2019, I was thrilled to receive a Sonos One as a welcome gift. I still use it to this day; at the moment, it’s my bathroom speaker for when I need to jam out to some Architects while shaving and showering. It’s been a fantastic addition to my daily routine!What was your first Sonos product? How did you decide on it, and what was your initial impression? Did it meet your expectations, or were there any surprises along the way?Feel free to share any memorable moments, tips, or even photos of your setup. Let's get the conversation going and celebrate our shared love
My SONOS system dosen’t work.I’ve reboted all router, speakers, app. several times. Forgot how many. After a rebot the speakers one by one pop ups in the app. I can start music in some but not all. Creating group of speakers is not an option. A friend, that designs network, has looked in to my system. And he claims that I have a very good system with strong signal in every room I have a sonos speaker. The speakers are found in the network with strong signal. But still not found in the SONOS app. Funny thing that one speaker played music but was not visual in the app. So I couldn’t stop it from playing. Had to unplug. This it not working any longer. I’m not educated in network design. I juste like to play same music in every room in the house. Now I’m thinking of selling the speakers and buy something that works. Been following SONOS since they started. And been building the system starting with a Play5 and connect. But now I give up and will look for a new system.
Hello, I don't understand why the latest Sonos app is so bad. I have thought about selling my Play 1, 3 and 5. It is incredible that the only solution is to return the devices to the Sonos S1. Sonos S1 works perfect.
Using LG tv with attached beam 2. Cannot keep the app connected to the system.
