I have a Beam Gen 1 and a One  in my workout room.  Is the ERA 100 , ERA 300, or Move 2 compatible with this Beam?  I use it with my Peloton + bike (casted to my TV) and just want to up my exercise room.  Appreciate it 

Why is Sonos so protective of their stereo system? It's puzzling. Yes, I understand why. They believe they can. However, the market will inevitably demand a full surround sound experience from Sonos.One can endlessly praise Sonos for their streaming capabilities. They dominate that market. Unfortunately, that doesn't equate to true surround sound. At best, it's Sonos' interpretation of surround sound. They are betting that millions of people won't notice the difference. So be it.I'm frustrated because I have a beautiful Denon AV system alongside my Sonos setup. Integrating the two has been a disappointing experience. Yes, Sonos will point to their Port, but that's just a band-aid solution, producing stereo sound.There's no point in going on and on, but I wish Sonos would listen. HDMI is here, but they don't seem to acknowledge it. I don't know of any Sonos product that uses HDMI. Why? Perhaps they feel they don't need to.Maybe I'm just like Don Quixote, tilting at windmills.Disappointe

Hi, will this system work to not have a sound delay when playing tv through all speakers. Or does anyone have a better solution. I need recessed speakers to suit the room layout. Purpose is for ceiling speakers and playbar to play both music and movie without delay. The second pair of speakers will be on a volume control and usedfor music playing only.  

Has any iOS app update removed the streaming quality in the app?if so, WHY??!!! Now I don’t know if the current song is being played using Dolby atmos or regular stereo!

I wonder if I can keep my newly bought Roam 2 wired at all times… or for most of the day, or if this practice could affect the battery life. TIA

It’s time that the software assists users with large local libraries . I know there are some workarounds, but sometimes I just want to browse  and I don’t want or need to begin the browsing at the top of a very long list. Sure searching for something is easy when you know what you want, but if you feel like a bit of a flick through your collection, Sonos has made it impossible. Frankly I think users deserve better after the amounts of money they have spent on their equipment.

I’ve seen similar questions before but no actual solution. S1 system  I’m trying to set up a new alarm to wake up with a specific radio station. I have other alarms in my home with that radio station, so it exists and works. I can find the radio station easily in a normal search and it’s added to Sonos Favorites. Bit when adding an alarm, I can’t select from favourites, only from some Byzantine menu of radio genres or by location which doesn’t show up my radio station in any obvious location (Smooth Hampshire in the UK, as it happens). Is there any way to find out where a radio station that Sonos knows about in ‘normal search’ is buried in the genre/location menu? Or some way to select a radio from Sonos favorites? Or copy an existing alarm and just change the room? Anything….?

Hi everyone. I tried to do some digging before posting, but unfortunately everyone’s room dimensions are different so it was hard to gather what is good for me or not. Question:I have a 2 story family room (approx. 20ft high flat ceiling) with a ceiling fan in the middle of the ceiling. The rest of the room is appropriate 14ft long x 12ft wide (couch would be placed approx 12-13ft from the Arc). I have a fireplace mantle that I would ideally place the Sonos arc ultra, at approx. a 4ft height, and it would be pretty dead center in the room on the back wall. Because of the high ceiling height, is the Arc largely going to lose a lot of its effectiveness with the upward firing speakers? Should I keep my play base or go with a beam and skip on the upward firing speakers? Or is it still by far worth it to go with the Arc Ultra?Additionally with the above, Era 100 or Era 300 rear speakers? I assume if I lose the effectiveness of the upward firing speakers of the Arc, that I should default to

We are looking into upgrading to our first Sonos system, I’m looking at an ARC ultra along with a sub 4 and two Era 300s as the rear speakers. Primary use will be movies. We don’t want to do speaker stands and we don’t actually have a wall behind the couch for another 20 feet. Has anyone ceiling mounted the Era 300s? I read that in the settings you can invert them but does anyone have a similar setup and can make recommendations. Does it work well for surround sound / atmos experience?

 This is roughly the living room set-up we are working with, there’s no wall behind us, and we don’t want to do speaker stands. Does it make sense to ceiling-mount 2 ERA 300s where the red is? I want feedback from people with a similar set-up, curious on how the surround sound wokrs when paired with an Arc Ultra and a Sub.

Hello everyone,I would like to buy a Ray and a Roam 2 to:connect Ray on my TV, to watch movies and enhance tv audio have a Roam 2 AND the Ray connected to play music in sync, having the Roam 2 in another room, playing music from my Android phone (Sonos app)is this scenario possible? Or having the Ray connected to the TV only enable it to play music fro mthe TV?Moreover, if the previous scenario would be possible, can I add eventually a Era 100 to play music, in sync, also to it in addition to Ray and Roam 2 (3 devices simultaneously). Thanks!!

In my front room I have the following hardware that I would like to setup for TV listening.  I know that it won’t be a true surround 7.1 system, but I have a separate home theatre room for that.  I figure this setup should be far superior to the current little TV speakers, so…The hardware that I have is:Bookshelf speakers for fronts powered by a Sonos Amp (one of the current black ones).  This amp is labeled “TV Fronts” (clever huh?).8” in-ceiling speakers powered by a second Sonos Amp. This one is labeled as “TV Rears”The TV is a few years old Samsung UN75NU6900F that does have an ARC HDMI port (#2).For a TV source, I use an Amazon Fire Cube for Hulu, Max, Netflix, Prime etc.I have attached an HDMI ARC cable from the TV’s ARC port#2 to the Sonos Amp “TV Fronts” HDMI port.The Amazon Fire Cube HDMI out is connected to the TV’s HDMI port#1.I have already downgraded both Sonos Amps to work with the S1 App (I have a lot of other Sonos Amps and Connects that won’t work with the S2 app (“Tha

Hi, I just bought the ace , sound is ok but I didn’t found the same whaou effect that I had with my Apple air pod pro2 Tested on Deezer with Bluetooth the sound seems ( for me ) low Even at 70% for now I’m pretty disapointed  For music I use Deezer and vinyle on my AMP 2X125W and beam gen2 I look at the EVERSOLO DAC Z8 and his headphone amp , if I used my ace on the jack input will I have louder sond ?and a better sound with Deezer FLAC is 16/44  thanks

I’m planning to purchase 3 pairs of Sonos 8 inch In-Ceiling Speakers (INCL8WW1).Can it be powered by one Sonos AMP or do I need more to use the speakers upto full capacity?

I brought a Roam 2 in Green and it’s beautiful.  However, I see the wireless chargers are only available in black or white. I can’t be the only one who would love to have one that matches my speaker?It seems like a no brainer to me, if you offer the speakers in a range of colours why can’t I have the accessories to match?  Come on Sonos, any chance of making this happen? Please? 

This is sooo frustrating!  For quite  few months now, I lost anything past the letter Q nor can I add anything back in my Sonos Favorites.  I have tried many things, with no luck. The crazy part is, I found those favorites in the Tunein app under my radio shows and my radio stations!  And if that were not strange enough, the Iheart app is listed under the Tunein app too!!!!  Nobody at Sonos seems to give a damn that their long time loyal supporters of their products cannot enjoy certain features they once could. WHERE ARE YOU SONOS SUPPORT!!!!!

When I’m already playing music on a Sonos speaker and add another one or a whole group, there is no option to quickly adjust/sync the volume for all speakers to the same level. I always have to manually adjust the volume in order to have the same volume on all speakers. I know that there used to be a function in Sonos app to slide to the left to mute them all an slide back to the desired volume in order to sync them all, but this does not work with the new app. There are other apps available for Apple Watch and Mac which support this setting. How can I sync the volume with the new Sonos app? Or please bring back this feature.

Hi,I created a couple of zones using SONOS Era100 Pro speakers. It seems in this configuration, it does not allow a subwoofer to be added. Only when i change a Zone to a room, can I link the sub. Ie, a room with a singe speaker or speaker pair. Is this correct? Is this a limitation at the moment?

I have a three room set up , kitchen is an Arc, sonus amp and ceiling speakers for surrounds and gen 3 sub, Arcam Dac, iPad hard wired as controller. Small lounge Bose cinema 520 Arcam air Dac and Sonus port. My main lounge has a Denon 2200 AVR, Bowers and Wilkins in Wall front 3 speakers . Surrounds and height speakers in wall and ceiling . I am looking to make improvements to the main lounge as I am happy with the rest of the setup. I also have a single Sonus five and a move 1.I want to have the main lounge join the Sonus architecture and improve the sound quality too . Can a Sonus amp be used to power the front left and right speakers ?within the surround system ? Also could a Sonus subwoofer 4 then be connected to the main lounge ? Could I purchase another Sonus 5 and use a pair usefully within the main lounge too . If the amp option isn’t optimal , if a port is connected, could I then use a Sonus sub in the non sonus setup. 

My Sonos ace headphones have stopped playing audio. I turned them on today and no audio has been played from them. When I put them on there is no chime and using any application on my iPhone there is no audio. The headphones still connect, but simply don’t work. I have factory tested them and restarted my phone as well. Nothing has worked. 

Next year I am going to be living in a 6 person apartment. I’ve been to friends apartments identical to that of which I will be in next year and their JBL 1000 PartyBox filled up the apartment. I currently have three Play 1’s. I am looking to buy 3 Play 5’s (all older gens to save money). Do you guys think that those 6 speakers could replicate a similar experience to the JBL? What I liked about the JBL was that it filled the entire apartment when placed in the living room, even when there were 100 people throughout the apartment. I feel like even if I bought the three Play 5’s and even added in a sub it wouldn’t be able to replicate the experience I got from the massive JBL. I am also new to this space and know nothing about external speakers or how to use amps and adapters to connect those to Sonos systems. The obvious answer could be “if you like the JBL so much then just buy that.” However, I am already invested into the ecosystem and was wondering if through building an army of Son

When will sonos update the app so there is possible to change equalizer settings trough the app, even when you are connected via bluetooth. I really love the products but for the pricetag it should be possible to use same app as when it is connected to wifi.
