UK Price Rises

I was very disappointed to be informed of the Sonos price rises in the UK. Although the dollar rate is blamed it doesn't account for why the products are much cheaper in some countries? £100 rise on the Sub and Playbar is just too much. I am very lucky that my system is now pretty complete but think UK sales will suffer

        Love Sonos but this is frankly nuts, the UK already paid a hefty premium for Sonos kit. The competitive landscape has evolved over the last 2 years, Sonos makes nice kit and has a great UI but was already frothy price wise. This will just kill the market for them. Shame

          I welcome the price rise, as I am totally fed up with constant problems with the Sonos kit so will be selling the lot and moving to Bose. The higher prices mean my 2nd hand kit is worth just a little more 🙂 It's a shame Sonos have not sorted all the problems that you read so much about on this forum, before adding a hefty premium to already overpriced kit.

            Enjoy the brexit dickheads.
            Before brexit pound to euro 1.40
            Now exchange rate 1.17

            Pound to Euro was 1.14 in 2013 We are currently above that, and more in line with 2014.

            go educate yourself.

              Utter joke, SONOS make some great kit but some of the decisions the management board make are amateurish. Personally that's me done with them, I am thankfully not far into my home SONOS fit but will move to other products now and sell up. I get currency conversions but we are not stupid, £100 on a dated and poor featured soundbar!!! Old tech should go down not up. I would understand if you were charging the new price for a new soundbar with DTS and Atmos. The % rises don't reflect currency rises nor the equivalent cost of the kit elsewhere in the world. Big mistake

                Outrageous opportunism from Sonos anyone who pays these inflated prices needs there head examining. Rip off Britain again. I have 6 Sonos zones, bought over a few years, but no more. Bye bye Sonos, all your missing is a mask! I suggest anyone who gets the email click the unsubscribe link.
