Speakers

Hey all - trying to figure out why my brand new Move keeps turning itself on while docked (and sometimes while off the dock). Music doesn’t play but I don’t want Move to have a dead battery when I go to use it. It’s very inconsistent. I have a handful of other sonos speakers on the same network but not grouped with the move.

My ancient Bose 3-2-1 stereo system is dying, and I would like to upgrade (find out wherther all those Bose-hares out there are right). Has anyone compared the Sonos Play 5s with high-end wited speakers, like the ones in Magnolia stores?  Or with any wired hi-fi speakers?

I recently tried to get support from Sonos and was told I had to pay a $99 fee for three years of support or $149 fee for lifetime support because my speakers are over 6 months old Where did this come from There was no disclaimer about this policy when I bought two Play 1 speakers or the Beam This is totally outrageous!! Especially when I can no longer play my iTunes to the Play 1 speakers after Sonos removed this feature a few months ago I am surprised that there has not been a huge backlash as yet I'm sure it will come I will never buy or recommend a Sonos product to anyone On community member said they were going to sue Sonos and I am considering doing the same Shame on you Sonos Truly Disgusted

Hi all, I already done my homework and learned that watts are not the most important when considering the quality of a speaker. I have been reading recently about Play:5 and I only found good reviews almost everywhere I looked, but I couldn't find any technical details about the speaker. To be more precise, I am trying to find out what is the speaker sensitivity for a Play:5? Maybe it's a dumb question, and if so, I apologise for that, but I feel like maybe other people have been searching for this as well and it could provide some guidance, if not finding the answer at least having a better technical understanding of the system. Thank you for considering my request and I am looking forward to your answers.

i have a 4 door Jeep Wrangler and would like to upgrade the factory speakers. I’m curious if the Sonos Move would be a better sound quality option provided I had a docking setup within the Jeep for the Move. Can you pair two Bluetooth sources at the same time as well so a person could connect to the car audio and the Sonos Move simultaneously from a smartphone and play music through the Move and car audio?

Hello Everyone, Ive been using Sonos for a few years now with my regular home AV system, but i'm a complete newbie to Sonos speakers, so I just purchased a Move for camping, trade shows, trail/driveway drinking etc. i have a year or so old Sonos Sub that i have never used yet. So, is it possible to set up the same single speaker (Sonos Move) for two room profiles? one room with a Sonos Sub and another without sub, all on wifi of course. so in other words can i take the Move out of one room with the sub into lets say the garage with no sub under a different room profile and listen without the sub thumping in other room? Thanks!!

My fiance hates to see wires. I can't figure out how to setup my Playbar and Play1 speakers wireless instead of opt wire

I connect my Sonos:1 through my iPhone 6S Plus to the Wi-Fi and when it’s says I can disconnect it from the internet cable it just doesn’t work, It worked before but now after some updates It doesn’t. I don’t know what’s the problem my Apps are updated, I’ve tried everything and nothing works. Please help.

I cannot pair Play:5 (gen1) and Sonos One In the Sonos App I get the message "Stereo pairing unavailable"

Hia, My Sonos Play: 1 has started playing quite tinny and the bass sounds possibly a bit fuzzy. Haven't played it too loud so don't see why it would have blown but that's what it sounds like to me. Struggling to work out where to find the settings that other people talk about changing to tackle this problem. Thanks very much, Laurie

When not in Use (Standby Mode) is it recommended to remove the Move from its charging base once charged or allow it to remain in the base?

I followed the directions for adding the Move to my system; it appears in my speaker list and it is registered. The Move produces sound only when it is the only speaker I select to play; when I group speakers, the Move is silent. My app software has been updated; I have reset my internet router and my Sonos Boost; bluetooth is turned off. The Move is my 14th Sonos speaker and I've never ever had this kind of problem adding a speaker to my system. TIA for any clues you can give me.

I can across this video on YouTube of a gentleman connecting a inexpensive 3rd party subwoofer to his Sonos system by using an IKEA bookshelf speaker. https://youtu.be/TiPPPu7j5DM I happen to have an unused sub so it's got me thinking.

We do not have an extra power outlet in our bathroom, so therefor I bought a Sonos Move. When entering the room, people can then play some music. Big question now is... what is the best process to follow to allow : listen to music when using the bathroom reduce the power as mush as possible when there is no-one in the bathroom Have the largest possible autonomy as to reduce the number of times we need to charge the speaker (which has to be done in a different room of course)

I set up my Sonos Move on my iPhone. I can play from my iPhone using Bluetooth and Wifi no problem. However, when I try to connect to the Move via Bluetooth on other devices (e.g. my iPad or my wife's iPhone), it does not appear in the device list for connection. Even if I am disconnected from the Move on my iPhone. Can other devices not just connect to the Move via bluetooth automatically? I tried to add the Move in the Sonos App on the other devices but the Sonos App couldn't find the Move. Any help appreciated. Thanks

Hi! I have a new SONOS MOVE and registered to my account and system... However I would like to give it to a friend and therefore I would like to completely remove and deregister it from my system and account... Just wonder if any expert here can advise me how to do it? Thanks in advance!

If using TP-Link to provide an adequate wifi signal in the room where Sonos speakers are situated, should it be set to the same wireless channel as the router or a different channel (SSID and password are the same)? If a different channel, will the speakers automatically pick up the TP-Link in preference to the router as the stronger of the two signals on this wireless network?

As an owner of two Play 3's should I be worried Sonos software will not support them in the near future. I see everybody is replacing the 3's for 1's or One's. I absolutely love the sound they produce and I think it would be a step back if I replace them with the smaller speaker. What do you think? Neven

Heading out camping the day my Move scheduled to arrive. Wondering if it will need a charge initially or if it will arrive fully charged.

Hi Sonos, Move seems like an amazing product. One thing though, I buy my stuff to last forever. It is a must. Thing that do not have a user replaceable battery, or at least a replaceable battery common enough to be easily and cheaply procured, is limited to the lifespan of the battery. And all Lithium based rechargeable batteries have a limited number of cycles AND a limited shelf-life (use them or not). What is your approach to this? Is the Move battery serviceable? Will you stock spare batteries, and for how long? Thanks!

My play5 gen2 stopped connecting to the WiFi in the house recently. I contacted Sonos and sent them 2 diagnostics. Very quickly got a response from Sonos for a return and replacement of the Play5. 2 weeks later, just set up my new speaker today and very happy with the level of service (Play5 was purchased in feb17). I wonder why the WiFi cards seem to be failing on these units given that they were released on sep15? Are there any stats on failure rates of Sonos devices? Never had any problems with my play1’s, playbar or sub.

Hey guys, I have a lot of Sonos speakers including a 5.1 system with a Playbar. I also use an Orbi system for my wifi. I am using Sonosnet with the playbar using cat 6 cabling to my router. I was having a lot of issues with the rear speakers in the 5.1 system dropping out whenever I am also using wifi internet while watching 5.1 content. I put it down to likely interference in the wireless backhaul of the Orbi. Due to the placement of the rear speakers I could not wire them directly to the router but have instead placed the wireless orbi satellite near them and plugged them in via ethernet to the orbi satellite and switched off the wifi radios on both the rear speakers. The system now appears to be working flawlessly with no more dropouts on the rear speakers and best of all I can stream on my computer while watching TV at the same time with no issues. Is there anything inherently wrong with how I've set this up now and any issues I might come across with this setup? Really as far

Well, I am so interesting in a 5.1 speakers to cinema, music and streaming. I love Sonos sound, but trust me, only Toslink/optical in playbar/base currently is difficult to understand. Oh yes! “Sonos is intended to streaming”, but well, most streaming services stream in DD+, and again, this format is not supported by Sonos as HDMI is also needed. WHY DOES NOT SONOS UPGRADE PLAYBAR/BASE TO HDMI AND DD+ SUPPORT? 2,000€ for an outdated 5.1 Sonos setup?? Harman/Kardon Citation series is similar in price and has much better conectivity even sound. For that price, in addition to Harman, Senheisser Ambeo Soundbar or Klipsch Reference Wireless are difficult to beat. But well, Sonos does not upgrade to HDMI & DD+ its flagship Playbar/base. I really do not understand why Sonos is not moving forward. ANY CONVINCING EXPLANATION SONOS? PS: I know beam has hdmi but neither support DD+, and it is not suitable for large rooms.

When will we be able to make phone calls with sonos one in Australia?
