This is just to express how pumped-up I am about the decision to switch from Bose Sound Touch wifi multi-room speakers to Sonos Play 1 and Play 3 (total of 4 speakers) and at the same time I want give credit to Sonos for making such awesome products!

Some of you may know that Bose released in Mid May 2018 "security update" for their multi-room range of speakers marketed as Sound Touch - this firmware update literally bricked vast majority of the speakers used in wifi mode essentially disabling the multi-room feature called "Play all".

I have in good faith collected logs from my 3 Bose ST speakers 18-times and shared them with Bose engineering team to reproduce, troubleshoot and fix. I was naive. It's been more than 9 weeks since the bad firmware crippled the speakers and yet Bose has not figured out to fix it, they won't allow anyone to roll-back to previous version of fw and advise that people upgrade their wifi routers instead! - just craaaaazy...:(

No ETA, no "we are sorry", nothing...folks at Bose Community (look up thread "Play-all" if you want to see how ignorant Bose can be) are going nuts - Bose is deleting posts of folks who suggested to file a class action suit against Bose etc...



Anyways - as my 3 Bose ST's were still covered by Amazon.de 2 year warranty I sent them back, requested refund `and ordered 4 Sonos Play 1 and 3 speakers...everything works like a charm: multi-room, sleep timer, alarm, individual EQ settings per each room individually, Trueplay and yes - they sound just great...



Sonos has won a new promoter and Bose a new (but still fair) detractor - you get what you deserve

Take care,

Martin
