Speakers

Along with or Instead of the current charging base option that is all one connected piece. The Sonos Move should have an extra option for purchase that receives power via USB type C and an accompanying 45 watt USB-C PD charging block also preferably detachable form the cord). Type C to Type C cord preferably for future proofing.This would help stream line the product as it can be charged via the USB type C when being transported or use on the go. This was almost a deal breaker for me when trying to decide between the Sonos Move and the Bose Portable Home Speaker. As the Bose PHS has a type C charging base and can easily be charged with an ordinary android or apple type c charger 

I have a wonderful pair of Play 5 gen 2’s with the Sub…...I would like to add “one” Play 5 for a rear chanel ambient effect,but obviously,it would have to be the Gen 3….Is this doable? Thanks

Hi guys in the community, so I understand why Sonos played it safe and went with a mid-woofer for the overall sound quality on the Sonos play 5 and the Sonos move but see Apple didn’t play it safe and it still sounds fantastic and like I say the Apple HomePod just factually sounds better at max volume. Now I like the treble on my Sonos move better but I definitely much preferred the bass on the Apple HomePod over the Sonos move. I mean the Apple HomePod has a larger woofer in a smaller box. And I couldn’t figure out how it’s like a year and a half older than the Sonos move but yet it managed to output deeper cleaner bass boom/bass bump from a smaller box? I feel like the Sonos move could of definitely had closer to the bass power of the Sonos play 5 (Gen 2) if it would of had a woofer instead of a mid-woofer because the Sonos move and the Sonos play 5 both run mid-woofers. I definitely think the Sonos move could of had maybe near quite as much bass as the play 5 but it could of had dee

I saw in the FAQ that the Move battery will last 900 charges or 3 years.    What if I mainly leave it on the charging tray and occasionally use it solely on battery?    Will the battery last longer than 3 years then?    

I decided to purchase a Sono Move a little over a week ago and so far I am extremly dissappointed.  Sales blurb states 120hrs battery life in STBY, 10hrs playback.  After fully charging and setup I’ve been lucky to get 2 days (48hrs) when in stby (power button on back pressed and all lights off) with  a couple of  hours playback.  It also randomly switches itself back on after being set to stby. A few days ago I fully charged it, switched off the mic, set it to stby and the next morning, some 10hrs later, it was already down to less than 60% charge remaining after no playback.  Presently I’m recharghing every other day with maximum of 5hrs playback.I love the speaker but it’s battery life is at best rubbish, even my power hungary smartphone lasts at least 2days.Is my speaker/battery faulty or is this normal?  If that latter it will be returned for a refund.

I have an older PLAY5 plus two PLAY 1s and a BEAM and just  took delivery  of a new PLAY5  to be compatible with S2   I thought I could play all the  new compatible stuff with S2 but then switch back to S1 to include my new PLAY5 . S1 now says the Play 1s and the Beam is incompatible and can only use the old PLAY5 as a stand alone. Is this right as it is now what I previously read?

I would like to use Move as one permanent speaker in other part of the house while not used outside, but I wonder if this will damage its  battery at some point. Some systems has a "smart" battery management capabilities that use Power straight when battery has reached 100%, is this also applicable to Move? Thanks a lot,

This HP should be used for me to listen to TV programs when I am at the table (for example the television news). My SONOS has recognized my WiFi network and my TV is a latest generation SAMSUNG and WiFi compatible too. I am unable to configure my SONOS to play sound from my TV. Thank you for your help and Best regards.Marc Manandise

Hello,A friend gave me his old Zone Player S5. I am thinking to buy a used Play 5 Gen 1 from the market. Can I pair them as a stereo pair to use them with S1 ?Kind regards

I have added two Move speakers to my Sonos setup. Unfortunately, they keep disappearing from the System list. For instance, right now, my "Office" Move speaker is missing from my iPad app, iPhone app, and pc (although it is available on my Android app). My "Kitchen" Move speaker is missing from all four. When I check again later, I expect both speakers to be on the list, without me having done anything. They keep popping in and out of existence. (Also, sometimes, the devices will show up on the list, but I won't be able to control them: Starting playback fails with an error message stating that, well, playback failed.)I've read the Standby thread (https://en.community.sonos.com/wireless-speakers-228992/move-standby-question-6830346) with interest, but I don't think that's the issue here. The speakers are not on standby. For instance, right now, the "Kitchen" speaker reacts when I press, say, the Microphone on/off button, and the "Office" speaker will even resume playback of the podcast

I just set up my Sonos One yesterday, and when I tried to play my first song it disconnected from wifi and hasn't reconnected. Not only that, but I tried to factory reset it by holding the infinity button while reconnecting power, but that didn't seem to work. Now, when I plug it into a power source, the little light doesn't even turn on. What should I do?

Can anyone help , my toddler has stuck a bit of Lego inside my sub woofer an it’s so far in it’s stuck an  I can’t get it out an the sounds doing my head in with the rattling , ive tried everything 😫

I have had a Sonos one for around two weeks.  At 25% volume I can hear beautiful low bass tones vibrating my hardwood floors.  When I increase the volume to 50%, the bass all but disappears into the music.  I have read in another post that this is the result of the loudness feature enhancing bass at low volume level.  When I toggle off the loudness feature it reduces the overall richness of the sound and still loses bass with increased volume.  If this is an automatic protection feature to keep the bass from distorting, I would prefer control that myself.  Would it be possible to provide a software solution that would allow this speaker to deliver consistent tones at all reasonable volume levels.   Thanks in advance!

Just purchased two items to start my Sonos journey, a Boost and one OneSL.Setting up (as a SonosNet) was straightforward – the information on the Sonos Support pages was most helpful and the technical answers to some questions in the Community were very informative.  Today I’ve been able to link in my Brennan B2 and the whole system works like a dream – being able to choose music at one end of the house from the source at the other is superb!  So to my query...Is there a way to mute the ‘beep’ every time you touch the volume control or play/pause on the OneSL?  I just find it an annoyance, and unnecessary – the change in volume or start/stop playing is sufficient confirmation of the touch.Many thanks for any advice that can be given. 

When stereo paired as left and right surrounds, can Sonos Five speakers be horizontal? The description on the product site almost infers that they can only be vertical when paired, so I wanted to confirm.  Thanks. 

I own multiple Sonos products and recently purchased the Move. Comparing the Move to the One SL's, the volume output of the Move doesn't seem to meet or exceed the volume of the One's. And before it's mentioned I don't have the volume limited on the S2 App (it's at 100%). Is this normal? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello everybody,                             Is the Sonos move design to always be on the charger ring? Thanks in advance. Julie

Hi,I have a playbar attached to my TV (it’s actually a plasma monitor). Playbar is about 4 years old. This is not our primary viewing room (though it does get a lot of use) as I have a separate room for that.I’d like a little better audio than just the playbar. My question is which surround speakers would be preferable in this room which is approx 16’ x 16’.?Would it be a pair of the new Fives or is that overkill? What about a pair of the Play speakers?thanks in advance.

Hello,Before anything else I want to let you know that I am aware that the sonos products work through the sonos app and the best way to connect the Symfonisk lamps are through a beam or an arc and set them as surround.Getting that of our way, I trying to figure out a cheaper way of doing this. Does anyone on this forum own an apple 4k tv (5th gen) and 2 Ikea Symfonisk lamps? I am curious of 2 essential aspects:Can the apple 4k tv be connected to the TV and simply act as an audio out device to the Ikea Symfonisk lamps (in stereo)? (I am not interested in using the apple 4k tv to its intended purpose and to use its apps, but only act as the audio out to those speakers via airplay 2) If the answer is yes to number 1, is there any audio delay, de-sync with the image from the TV?A bit of an example for a more accurate visual representation: let’s say one owns an LG CX Oled display TV, an apple 4k tv and 2 Ikea Symfonisk lamps. I am wondering if I could watch TV and send the audio via hdmi

I have a split system - the old S1 is working fine but sonos 2 is not seeing either of my newer speakers. I have tried turning then on and off and resetting the router. I have submitted a diagnostics report. It is after hours. What is the next step to recover connection? Thanks

Hi I’ve just inherited my late father’s old Sonos Zoneplayer S5.  I already have 2 Play 1s and a Play 3 on my system but note I have to use the old Sonos app to manage the Zoneplayer S5. Are there any plans to update the new app to manage the Zoneplayer S5 at all? Also is there any way to connect the Zoneplayer S5 to my Alexa system?  Many thanks   

I would like to turn off trueplay nag in settings on my appI dont use trueplay and never will

I have one group of speakers consisting of an Arc, Sub (Gen 3), and two One SLs as rears.  I have another group of Fives running as a stereo pair.  When listening to music I have both groups going and it sounds great, as you might imagine.  :-)  The system does play loud, no doubt about it!  But I want it louder, and I can tell it’s definitely capable of more volume!   I’m playing music via my iPhone on Airplay.  I do *not* have the volume limiter enabled.  I think I gained a few decibels by forcing “uncompressed” music rather than “automatic” switching for compression.  The “loudness” setting is enabled.  Any other ideas?  Thanks! 

bonjour, peut-on associer le caisson de grave (sub sonos) a 2 fives? est-ce que les graves sont alors de qualité Hi-fi? est d'un intérêt réel mélomane?. merci pour vos réponses
