Speakers

Anyone have a up-to-date Sonos Speakers: Product Comparison Chart? 

Hi In my lounge I have a Playbase and two play:1’s for surround sound.  I love the set up for movies/TV etc. It all works great. When playing music I have set Sonos use all three (i.e. not as surround sound) as you should.I think it sounds pretty good for music as I assume (?) that the Playbase  takes up most of the bass load (and more?)But what would be a next step up for music playback, or is there one that is even worth it. I could swap the play 1:s for Sonos Fives but that would be expensive (and can I use Play fives as surround speakers or would I have to keep the play1:s?) and would they work with the Playbase in music setting? I could add a Sub to the system but again how much would that be a step up with the Playbase already in the room? And please note I am happy with the PlayBase for movies etc, I have no desire to chase more Bass, it’s loud enough, I am more interested here in improving Music playback.Any help appreciated, I do like the play 1:s + Playbase for music but it’s

Hi there, long time listener, first time enquirer. I’d like to place my Sonos One SL speaker on built in book shelves, only problem is that neither side of the plug can be squeezed between the wall and back of the shelf (there are a few centimeters to play with though). I’ve come up with another one of my brilliant(?) ideas - based on an old conversation on here - to cut the plug off, fish the cord behind the shelf system and reattach a plug to the end.I’m hoping I just have to find the right plug - I believe I just need something that will accommodate a 3watt, 120volt, 15amp speaker? I think this is my only question. Other than am I going to burn my block down?Any insight and suggestions welcome and appreciated - thanks in advance!

Picked up a Gen 2 lamp yesterday.  Can someone confirm if it is S2 only or can be downgraded to S1 to work with my other speakers please? It is not clear on the compatibility list, there is no Gen 1 or 2 noted against the lamp. I don’t want to set it up if I need to return it. ThanksChris

I one travels and streams stored music from their phone why can they not pair 2 raom portable speakers via the phone or why can’t the speakers have a TWS mode like my little 29 dollar Olitek speakers These little speakers will pair with each other and work in stereo separation mode You would think 179 dollar speakers would do this

I bought a Symfonisk from IKEA and was stunned to see the setup process asking for activating location services. Especially when it already connects to the device through bluetooth.I’ve already filed for a return but if there’s a way to do the setup without location services I’d cancel it…That’s a shame that they make it compulsory; I have only one device and it makes no technical sense at all. Tere

In the auto trueplay info it quotes:If you’ve added the Google Assistant to Move, Auto Trueplay will be disabled when Move is in Bluetooth mode Is this also the case for Alexa? Or when voice control is turned on? Or is this only specific to Google Assistant? PLS HELP LOL

I want to listen my fire TV stick through my Sonos Move but I can not get both of them connected. I have succeed with controlling Fire Tv with Alexa from my Sonos but not to play the fire TV on my Sonos, could you please help me? I could not find any solution to this topic in the community. Thanks!

I know that my Play-speakers ain’t working with Airplay. But, is it necessary to change both to Sonos One SL or will it work if I just change one of them and then make a group (consisting of one Play and one One SL)?

I have a Sonos Roam SL, which I am very new to, therefore I have a lot to learn? I have an Apple Mag Safe charger which I use for my iPhone 13.Is it safe for me to use this Mag Safe charger for my Sonos Roam SL, please?

I can get one Move connected to my Apple TV (latest version) with Airplay.  When I stereo pair both Moves, it no longer appears as a list of available devices on the Apple TV.  Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

HiI have just been reading the Sonos page about reducing wireless interference and came across the bit about reducing interference from other devices that use WiFi.It mentions moving Sonos speakers away from ‘other wireless audio systems’. Does this mean another Sonos speaker? For example, if I have one of my speakers very near to another (which don’t typically play the same music at the same time), could this be an issue with drop outs?I only ask as I have one of my One SL surrounds very near to one of my stereo Fives in my lounge and I have actually been having the occasional drop out from both speakers when either having the TV on, or playing the Fives in stereo.Note - all my non portable speakers use SonosNet via a Boost.

Hey all. We dropped our Sonos Move from counter height onto a concrete floor. No cosmetic damage but unsurprisingly, it now sounds terrible.  Does anyone have an idea where I can send it for repair or am I better off buying a new one? Thanks

Hi all. I ran a S2 Sonosnet-based system in our home for some years with a Boost connected to ethernet on the middle floor of the house. All devices played smoothly and the matrix looked good.A pair of Moves was then purchased for garden use. They set up fine as a Stereo Pair and connected etc... indeed, all seemed well.However once out in the garden the Move unit which was furthest from the house experienced drop outs, freezes and general buggyness. I tried various things with wi-fi boosters and changing the wireless channel etc but to no avail.Finally I reset the entire system and started again, this time omitting the Boost and running the whole thing as a wi-fi setup. Success! - all configured fine and now the stereo pair of Moves in the garden run without issue and I can take them further from the house than before.So my question is this: because the Move relies on wi-fi and not Sonosnest, is it better to use a pure wifi setup for reliable Move performance, rather than one where th

Have a wedding coming up.Have an existing Move.Needed a small system to play via Bluetooth .was told via support that I could use both the Roam as well as the Move together, but not as a Stereo pair to play the same music (Spotify Playlist) through both the Roam and the Move.No wifi will be available on site, will need to be fully blue tooth.TestingController S2 is installed.Configured a “Group” to include the Roam and the Move with Wi-Fi active.Sound Playing in Roam and Move.Knocked down controller to test full blue tooth functionalitybluetooth is activeBoth speakers are connected.Any attempt to share music between the two or to move off WiFi to full Bluetooth connectivity seem to result in either loss of both speakers or the Move.What am I missing?Should I buy another Roam, will that be easier?  (I was told this configuration would work without Wi-Fi,)Any third party applications that facilitate easier configuration? 

Hi everyone  I have a Sonos Roam device since April and I feel that it’s not giving me its best performance since the two last months, the audio drops out or cuts off using Airplay and Bluetooth, it gets unresponsive with Alexa and a really bad behavior using Airplay. After about 3 months the Airplay issue with my Sonos Roam reappeared, the audio is frequently cutting off or pausing with not reason, very frustrating! I’ve got a replacement and this is the second unit that I have, awful! doing so many factory resets, rebooting my router several times,  and reinstalling the controller on my iPhone  didn’t fix my issue, still the error persists, and Alexa sometimes gets unresponsive if I ask for music or some other commands, answering with any error, the audio cuts off or simply stops working, sometimes rebooting my speaker works, but sometimes not. My Wifi signal is pretty good, so, I suspect my unit has a firmware issue, with all other devices I don’t have Wifi issues, so I think it has

Hi,I recently bought a second Sonos roam which I love. However I’m concerned about security & privacy.  I was listening to music using my iPhone which  was connected to my Sonos roam via Bluetooth. Frustratingly my neighbour was able gain unauthorised access and mess around with the volume and the play / pause button remotely without my permission.  He does not have access to my Wi-Fi and we are not acquaintances.  How has he gained access to control my Sonos speaker? Is there anything I can do to stop this from happening again?  Many thanks in advance   

Brand new Sonos move and a base charger not charging.  I have another move so I tried and it charges using my old base. The new base will not charge either of my Sonos MOVE SPEAKERS.  Seems like a faulty base. I’ve checked it and it doesn’t have any debris or anything on the points. Any ideas?

Very interesting…https://www.theverge.com/2022/8/24/23319989/sonos-optimo-speaker-features-design

Play 5 gen 1 does not show in S2 app, but does when logged into account on sonos.com on system, no upgrade option showing. Trying to get the discount so can upgrade on line store….. Any ideas why?

Re they Arc and 14.12, I have dual Gen 3 subs and Fives as surrounds. It’s not just the sub(s). It’s the surrounds too.  They are now barely audible and the Arc is overly forward vocally.  The whole sound profile is night and day and not in a good way.  The fact that a release like this gets past QA from a company that differentiates itself on its software platform is beyond me.  Turning off Trueplay only makes it more annoying. Unlistenable and unwatchable for a $3k + system.  

 Sonos beschadigd aan de usb-c poort en de aan-button zonder dat hij gevallen is. Voor de rest heel tevreden maar dit zou ook eigenlijk niet op die manier mogen verslijten. 

Heading to a boys cottage weekend and have a choice of what to bring for stereo music setup.cottage has wifi  speakers will be placed inside in a large open room    Pair of Play 5 Gen 2s stereo paired pair of Sonance by Sonos outdoor speakers powered by a Sonos Amp (newer one)which one should I bring to maximize sonic characteristics? 

Moving from the Netherlands to Dallas (TX, USA).Bought my Sonos Beam, Sub and 5 Sonos one’s in the Netherlands and wonder if they would work in the US with a simple transformer? Or would that not work?
