Would love for Sonos to collaborate with someone to develop headphones specifically to be used with the system and connected like a Sonos One speaker. Anything like this in the works? If not, do you recommend a headphone to use for nighttime listening that doesn’t take a technician to figure out?
When the Roam launched there was an issue where, because the way BT Smart Hub worked, it would not join the network. This was due to ‘decision making’ with regard to the 2.4 & 5ghz channels. Allegedly this was resolved. Not so.I’ve continued to have the Roam missing or unable to join Airplay 2, or join & disappear shortly afterwards. I have a Beam which is fine. I’ve spoken to BT help and Sonos technical who knows how many times. They are both still advising to split & rename the two networks. Same solution as 18 months ago. Which a) is an appalling fix & b) won’t work for me because my devices are mixed & need the option of choosing consistent or fast speed I.e Apple TV.I’ve experimented with the Modes & channel banding but this destabilises other speakers & devices. Quite frankly I shouldn’t have to do this. This really isn’t good. OK BT might be partially at fault, but they have issued upgrades designed to mitigate the issue but surely if other Sonos devi
Can I link 4 Sonos One SL speakers? And in the future, can I add those ones to a ARC bar and sub for a HT?
Hello everyone.I’m desesperate. I have a switch CORE ms250 (support multicast (IGMP and multicast routing).SONOS device is on VLAN 13I have different devices on VLAN 14, for this example I have mi laptop with SONOS app and wired connected on one port of the MS250 on VLAN 14. I have enable multicast routing on SVI 13 and SVI 14, and setup the RP (I tested many configuration about the RP, sometimes for VLAN 13 or VLAN 14 but doesn’t work).Unfortunely my SONOS app on VLAN 14 doesn’t detect the SONOS device on vlan13 with all features that Meraki recommends.I have call Meraki TAC and I don’t have any answer about this behavior.Is there anybody that can HELP ME to know the correct configuration to enable communication between SONOS and my device from different VLANS?
Hi!Is there the possibility to use a Sonos speaker connected via Bluethoot to the smartphone, in order to listen music even if in the house you do not have WiFi/Internet avaliable?For instance, I could use my smartphone connected to the speaker in order to listen either music stored in the smartphone itself or in streaming.Is that possibility vailable somehow?thanks!
I just received my One SLs that I ordered from Amazon and I noticed the box says “Shadow Edition”. Any ideas on what this Shadow Edition is and how it may differ form a “normal” edition? Thanks.
Can you pair a Sonos Playbase to a iPhone using BlueTooth?
What are your thoughts on using Sonos one (gen 2) as a sound system in a wedding venue. Currently have 3, but could add to it for the day. Looking at ways to keep costs down by not hiring a DJ. Thanks
Sorry if this has been asked/answered already… but can anyone confirm what version of Bluetooth the Sonos Move devices currently use? I noticed Sonos have updated their “Power + Connectivity” section for the Move, which now states Bluetooth 5.0 https://www.sonos.com/en-gb/shop/move#2 But I’m still seeing messages on this forum, and ‘reviews’ from third party sites as recent as January 2022, stating it still uses Bluetooth 4.2 - has there been a low-key specs update ?
Has anyone experienced the same thing? Our roam was connected to the mains and playing music when it suddenly disconnected and for the last 40 mins or so has been emitting a really really loud noise like a helicopter. We can’t turn it off, have disconnected it from the mains and tried all the options to turn it off. It is now over heating and we have had to put it outside. ( and in a box due to how loud it is). We have had it less than 1 week. We will return it but am just hoping the noise stops so we can take it out of the box, and that it doesn't catch fire first!
My Sonos Play5 just stopped working today. It doesn’t get any juice anymore. I used to think that Sonos was a high quality product.From an ecological perspective I don’t think I want to buy a product that only lasts 5 yearsFrom a commercial perspective I don’t see how a 15% reduction offered by support would make up for this defect. Are consumers supposed to spend almost 600 euros ever y 5 years on new Sonos products?
I would like to connect to my Play 1 as my main computer speaker however I don’t see it in my Sound Preferences. I have 2 Play 1s, a Connect and a Beam. I have all devices connected on my iPhone and can see them in the Sonos app and through Airplay. However I can’t see the Play 1 in my Preferences, only the Connect and Beam. However, I can connect to the Play 1 in certain apps, like Spotify, through Airplay (on the desktop/MBP, the phone is fine). It shows up on the Spotify app, but not in my System Preferences as a sound source. Is something wrong with my set-up or is it not designed to connect this way? I’m running Monterey 12.1
I have a Sonos Roam. I have it on Sonos' wireless charger, so it is always fully charged. I have noticed that when it reaches 100%, the charging symbol does not appear in the app. Eventually, the charging symbol will appear in the app, and the orange light will illuminate. Is this correct? I thought trickle charging ment that it was always charging, and adjusted things itself. It seems to me that it does not charge after it has reached 100%, and then start charging again after some use. I guess my question really is how does the trickle charging on Sonos Roam work?
Sometimes I enter a room without having my phone with me. I’d like to be able to turn on the speaker and have it play my preferred music (in my case a station on BBC Sounds) rather than whatever was last playing Could we have the option to define a default source please?
The product is branded “roam” it should be easy to use away from home… right?I was naive enough to think that.I am currently traveling for work and my go-to bluetooth travel speaker kicked the bucket. I took it as an opportunity to pickup the roam, something I had been eyeing for a bit. Getting the thing setup (just so I can use bluetooth) while I’m on hotel wifi is near impossible. It also REFUSES to do bluetooth pairing without wifi setup first. I finally did it, it took an hour and a half. Multiple devices, hotspots, new sonos systems/accounts, etc. Completely unacceptable experience. This is going to be a ton of people’s entry product into the sonos ecosystem. It NEEDS to work with simple bluetooth pairing out of the box. I don’t know why I have to tell you this, get better product management.
How do I make my ikea symfonisk a Bluetooth speaker? I was not successful hooking up to wifi While on holidays. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Is Sonos planning to give us the ability to stereo pair 2 Sonos Move’s via bluetooth? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!
I hope an update is coming because I’m over going to use my roam and it’s dead. Out of the five times I’ve wanted to use it I have only been able to use it once. I have to leave it on the charger when not in use otherwise it will be dead when I go to use it. When it’s on the charger and it gets to 100% there is no way to turn it off. If I hold the power button for five seconds it turns off but within a few seconds it turns itself back on again. If they don’t say a fix is coming within a week sadly it’s going back.
Anyone else pissed that Sonos doesn’t include a power adapter w/ the roam? Before you tell me that everyone has a bunch of extra 10v adapters lying around the house, I’ll tell you that I don’t.
Is it normal that a Play 5 gen1 speaker reach end of life in 5 years 2 months?
Can I use my Roam in a steam shower? I’m a wheelchair user and am having a roll-in shower built equipped with a steam-bath. I would of course place the speaker opposite of the steam nozzle. I’ve used cheaper Bluetooth speakers designed for the shower in the past and they worked OK. One speaker’s suction cup released, it fell and stopped working. The other speaker was just not worth listening to. My original idea was to use the Roam in the shower to make a phone call in case of an emergency as I would with the Google Mini. That option is not available. I haven't really used the Roam in my present shower. It is equipped with a steam-bath but, s too small to steam in for a long period of time. Regular exposure to steam might be asking too much. thanks
Is there a way to have SL Ones startup when I turn on my Samsung TV and Beam Gen 2? Or do I have to physically turn on the SL One each time I turn on my TV/Beam?
I can't add Sonos Roam to my network. It asks me to update the App, but it is already updated
Everytime when my wife wants to connect to sonso roam with bluetooth it just does not work.Sometimes when the device is off it starts automatically and no worries, but more often even when the device is on, the bluetooth on the phone tries to connect but no response what so ever. I have to stop and start the sonos several times and all of a sudden it connects.What I described is exactly the same patern that I must follow to get the thing working.just try over and over again until it reacts.It is really annoying that she up until now is never was able to connect with out my help.She has no issue with all our other Bluetooth devices so she knows what to do. (Just click on the devices name in the bluetooth menu)I am worrying I was unlucky and bought a faulty device.
Hi guys, I am a proud owner of a Sonos Roam speaker. I love to carry it when visiting friends and barbecuing at different places with WiFi coverage.I prefer the WiFi connection so the music keeps playing even when I move farther away from the speaker.Any chance to see an easy and quick connection of the Sonos Roam to different WiFis? Or advise how to do thiss in case I have missed this option? Thanks, Toller
