Speakers

I wanted to offer my opinion on these two speakers. I've spend the better half of three day comparing one of my play 1's to my new second gen play 5. Rules were simple, flat EQ and both tuned in the same location. I put right next to each other and ran numerous tests. I tested with loudness on and off. Tuning on and off and have come to some conclusions that were pretty unexpected. I reran tuning multiple times to try and improve sound from both. - Play 1 clarity, voice accuracy and instrument separation sound much better under 50% - Play 1 bass is very impressive under 50%, without a noticeable improvement using the play 5, in fact its more pronounced than the play 5's bass under 50%. - Play 1 voices and instruments are far more pronounced at lower levels. I can hear the rasp of someone's voice and the strum of a guitar much better. - Play 5 sound is more 'soft' and set back. - Above 50%, the play 1 begins to sounds like a tiny speaker - Above 50%, the play 5 comes to

Just wondering, for a very small footprint system, how these would compare. The Vanatoo T1's get amazing reviews, and are self-powered like the Play:1's. A bit more at $500/pair plus the Connect, vs $400 for a pair of Play:1's. Perhaps a pair of Play:3's would be a more fair comparison? From what I've read, a pair of Play:1's will outperform a single Play:3 or Play:5 in clarity, and certainly in stereo separation, but somewhat lacking in bass. The Vanatoo's are supposed to be superbly well balanced, with excellent bass for their size. Not quite as clean an installation as a pair of Play:1's, though... Hmmmmmm.... What to do?

I have a Play1 on my counter in the master bath and now added and complimented with in ceiling speakers and grouped with a Connect Amp located in the closet. I want to group the volume control on the (easy to reach) Play1 instead of pulling out a smartphone.

I want to make two irrefutable statements of fact: 1) Sonos is the best wireless speaker system in the world with a very intuitive app that makes wireless audio amazingly simple. 2) Sonos management cares little about customer feedback and is leaving millions on the table. While that might sound kind of harsh, consider that the Sonos Community has viewed a thread over 46,000 times and I've seen online blogs begging for an outdoor speaker FOR YEARS! How many millions of dollars could Sonos have made by simply delivering on this request? I've personally looked for weatherproof enclosures for both the Connect Amp and Play speakers and nobody has an elegant solution. It's completely aggravating when I come to the Sonos website after over a year of owning my system and still there is no answer to the community by management letting us know: A) when a weatherproof speaker is coming, or 😎 why it will never come. And I'm late to the party, which means others were ignored for over

Has anyone bought the Flexson stands? They seem to be higher quality than Sanus from what I can tell. https://www.flexson.com/by-sonos-product/sonos-one/flexson-floor-stand-for-sonos-one-pair

Hi does anybody know if a US Sonos (one) works in Europe (only by using an adapter plug)?

I have recently got google home mini(nice product by the way). I wanted to know is there any way that I can connect my play 5 gen 2 with it. I know there is no audio output port in mini and some of the discussions suggest that chromecast audio would be required to achieve the same. Is there any other option to do so?

My PLAY 1 has been working semi-fine up until now. It needed a reset once in a while, but that got it going again. Now it's lost the connection and refuses to reconnect. I've tried factory resetting it and configuring it again. In the setup process it seems to discover the speaker just fine. I type in the wifi password and then I'm asked to press 'play' and 'volume up' at the same time and wait for the sound. The sound plays, but then the LED turns solid red and nothing further happens. Any advice?

The white indicator light won't turn off on the play 1 in the master bedroom. I have tried different controllers and they are all set to off. Please help.

I'd like to play audio only from my dvd player without turning the tv on with the playbar? How do I do this?

I have a Boost network (all components WP:0). A Bridge is hardwired, and there are 4 ZP80s. One ZP80, named "Roving", is outside, in an outbuilding. Sometimes, it gets poor signal and plays music in a choppy or pulsing way. Here is my network matrix. Is there anything I can do to get better signal to the Roving ZP80. If I buy another bridge and put it in an intermediate location, is this likely to make things better?

Hi There Cisco network, goes to a mini switch in room. As soon as I plug in a Sonos Bridge or Play 3 speaker the mini switch crashes and nothing thats on it can see the network. I have swapped the mini switch. I can not swap the main Cisco unit. I have to reboot the mini switch and remove the sonos device to restore normality. Please advise

As above: I am planning to use a Sonos One as a google assistant. If I buy a sonos one now, will it work with Google when the Assistant support is rolled out? Or is it better to wait and buy a unit when support is already in place?

Completely installed sound bar and 2 play 1 speakers (right and left) but the play 1 sound fades in and out during movie and music. Sounds like a fading radio station. Is there a download or any quick fix?

I was looking on Amazon and they are offering Squaretrade service plans (extended warranties) for a very good price and I wondered why Sonos can't offer the same plans when you buy a device directly from Sonos instead of having to go through Amazon? A selection of 4 year plans: 4-Year Home AV Protection Plan ($125-150) -- $11.70 4-Year Home AV Protection Plan ($200-250) -- $10.79 4-Year Home AV Protection Plan ($300-350) -- $12.78 4-Year Home AV Protection Plan ($350-400) -- $13.77 4-Year Home AV Protection Plan ($400-450) -- $15.85 4-Year Home AV Protection Plan ($450-500) -- $17.70

Hey everyone, so I have several Sonos components, one of which, my Play:5, stopped working about a week ago. I've had the speaker for about 14 months. It has no power, led's don't light up, and it doesn't show up on the app. Speaker is completely dead. Contacted support, did a reset, ran a diagnostic, and it still doesn't work. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this or what may be the issue? A simple Google search showed dozens of people with the same problem, so it's not uncommon but I couldn't find anyone that suggested a fix. Contacting Sonos support didn't get me anywhere. They are happy to charge me $150 to take a look and repair but that seems very unreasonable. The unit was plugged into a Panamax power conditioner so I know a power surge didn't get it. Hard to believe a fairly high end speaker like this would simply fail for no apparent reason 2 months after the warranty expires....

I have two Sonos Play 3 speakers and a Kilpsch subwoofer I would like to connect to my Audio Technica LP 120 turntable. Will I need a Sonos Connect or Connect: Amp?

New to SONOS. How do I keep control over the music feed for a house party when others are on the same WIFI with the SONOS app and different playlists?

I’ve had the Play 5 for 13 months and it stopped working yesterday. I read through the forums and nothing seems to work. I factory reset it and tried to hook it up again. It only works when connected to Ethernet. I have a Play 1 that works fine. As soon as I unplug the cable it stops. I’m a month out of warranty and worried I’m just SOL. Any help would be appreciated.

I have had a Play5 Gen1 and a Connect for years and my Bridge just broke (crushed.) Do I need to buy a Boost or can I just hardwire the Play5 Gen1 to my router and let the Connect work through wifi?

I would like to know if it is possible to connect the wireless JBL Subwoofer with the Sonos system using the connect amp ? Many thanks Jeff

Would Sonos consider creating a speaker system for Tesla vehicles ?

Hi, I have sonos throughout my flat - so not that large an area really. I have two players at separate ends of the flat hard wired. I've started to get an increasing problem of players dropping in and out or coming to multi play late. Help appreciated. Diagnostic test done during drop outs: 363246129

Occasionally one of my S5's loses all bass reponse - it sounds like an old tinny transistor radio! It's not the equalization settings (according to my contraller at least) - bass is still showing set at midpoint, and moving it either way changes nothing. And it's not the source - same source linked to another S5 at the same time sounds normal. But what I found does fix the problem is whacking the volume up and down quickly a few times - it seems to kick the bass back in. I'm thinking it's probably a hardware fault. But is there anyhting else I should check before contacting Sonos support? (don't want to add to their workload unnecessarily over Christmas!)

I've got a Play 5, which has suddenly stop working and disappeared from my list of devices. I've tried the normal things - unplugging and tried to do a new set up. Play5 has static white light until I try to add to network then it flashes all colours (white-orange(red)-green). I've got a diagnostic ref if any Sonos staff are reading - 8395620. TIA
