Sonos Apparel

Is the new? I like! https://www.sonos.com/en-us/shop/accessories/apparel Only thing I'd say is... more options, more colors. I think "Listen Better" will be added to my Christmas list. Maybe a hat.

Sonos ONE’s stereo pairing with SUB

Hi everyone, im pretty new in this community here. Been reading and eyeing on new updates always and often wish there are newer ones. I’ve been a sonos lover since 2016 yet unfortunate enough to afford any of them. Been saving up my penny as much as I could to purchase one of them. Initially, my favourite is always the PLAY 5 (Gen 2) as I just want them in my bedroom and some nice stereo surround. Im no audiophile or whatsoever but i do enjoy good music and watching movie. So, basically Im based in Melbourne and been to few general stores like jbhifi and myer to test out how these bad boy sounds. Unfortunately my surroundings are always too noisy and distracted therefore I cant really determine how good the PLAY 5 would be. I was comparing it to the BOSE soundtouch 30 to be honest as most my mates do own BOSE and make me to get them instead of SONOS. Alrighty, here we go. So, one fine day i decided to search up for some personal stockist that sells SONOS, BOSE, B&O and etc. I fi

Music played from iOS device craps out

New to Sonos but understand that playing music off my iPhone 6S is a problem with my Sonos home entertainment system installed in our new house. Music stops and jumps to another song or stops all together. A real pain in the butt. Streaming Sirius, Pandora, Amazon...not an issue. I’ve read similar posts from a month ago. Any updates on this topic?

Why should I be forced to update controller software

Am I the only one getting fed up with the Sonos policy of forcing updates whoever they feel like it. I am an intermittent user and have a couple of old iPads that I use as controllers. Now it appears that I Can't use them until their software is updated. All I want is a basic and stable system that operates when and as I need it. Unless I want all the extra features I don't see why I should have to waste so much of my time Grrrrr!

Enable the Sonos Amp and Connect:Amp sub outputs for Music!

In my Media Room, I just swapped out my Connect:Amp for an Amp. The most disappointing thing on both setups is that when configured as part of a surround system, the sub output is disabled. While I'm generally ok with this for the TV setup....When listening to music in "Full" mode - why disable the sub output? This is more of a problem for me, since my Media room configuration started with just a Connect:Amp driving speakers + a sub. Now I've added a Beam...Which has effective rendering my sub useless if I want to use the original speakers as surrounds (which was my intent). The work-around for this is to constantly remove the surround setup when listening to music which is a horrible solution.

Apple dictates that all new apps must fully support the iPhone X screen

For those who can’t quite seem to grasp why Sonos can’t support older versions of iOS. Apple’s policies dictate. Sonos must play by Apple’s rules. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/02/apple-dictates-that-all-new-apps-must-fully-support-the-iphone-x-screen/

Sonos One will not connect to my Synology NAS

I cannot connect my SONOS to my NAS where all my music library is siting. I have tried many options: "Manage Music Library" - > "Music Library Setup" -> "Add new Share" -> Enter static IP address, or enter \\myNASname\music, or enter "Music", or many other options. Nothing works. I have also downgraded security to SMB1. I am using Windows 10, and am trying to connect Sonos from my iPhone. The NAS is a DS218+. As far as I can tell, the whole music library is shared. I'm a bit at a loss, any help most welcome.

Suggestion: Connect unit fit for 2019

It's time to give the Connect a much deserved update. [list] [*] Hardware seriously outdated. I mean has it even been changed at all since 2005? [*] Too big. Should be no bigger than a Chromecast. [*] Too expensive. Should cost way less than a Play:1. Probably around €50. [/list] Digital/analog 3.5 output. USB powered. Exactly like a Chromecast Audio but for Sonos. Guys, it's almost 2019. This needs to happen.

What two songs have a really pleasing crossfade that you've found?

I love listening to songs on crossfade, and every so often I'll find two songs that just line up/mix perfectly, have you guys discovered any with a pleasing/cool mix on crossfade?

Lost Playlists when switching to new router

Hello, I am tech challenged and I have 2 Sonos One speakers which I control with my phone and a tablet. Recently my phone broke and was replaced...I also changed wireless so have a new router and service. The problem is that I have lost all my playlists stored with my Sonos system and am unsure how to restore/find them. On my phone, I have a new Sonos App, and just set up my 2 Speakers by "factory resetting" them as instructed on a youtube video. They then were found and reattached as new speakers and are working again. Are the playlists stored IN the speakers? If so, have I lost them forever by resetting? I assumed that my tablet, which has not changed, was storing the playlists but find that it needed to search and find my "New"system and shows no playlists as well...:( My playlists were sourced primarily from my Amazon Prime Music account, but no personal stored music files. If lost, how can i prevent losing all these hours of creating playlists I have set up in the future?

Bose Discontinuing Soundtouch

Was in BB the other day, checked the Bozo display. Noticed it had been completely updated, yet again. After three... three!!! generations of their miserable Soundtouch multi room system, they’re finally throwing in the towel. It must have been a very expensive mistake. The death is confirmed over on their forum. https://community.bose.com/t5/SoundTouch-Speakers/Deezer-HIF-on-Bose-amp-Bose-is-stopping-soundtouch/m-p/151902#M69961 :D

Becoming a sonos HaterContributor I

Are you guys being sabotaged or is sonos now just a dumb company in a smartphone world?

Stupidly I decided to get rid of the annoying update icon in the Sonos app. The result is a broken home theatre setup. After spending a whole day of reading support and trying every possible scenario to get my setup working again the only noise coming from my sonos is silence. Does sonos do buy backs? I would like to add my frustrations with the other community members here. Sonos have broken my trust after singing nothing but praise about the simplicity of the setup and quality. 31 October 2018 is my deadline for a software update, after that I am going to rubbish sonos in every shape and from known to the internet world.

Homepod vs Sonos

Picked up a Homepod over the weekend. No comparison to my Sono's system...in fact it has made me fall in love with my Sonos all over again. Whoever said that the Homepod is a Play5 killer is on crack :)

Where are buzz, ratty, majik...and others of their ilk?

I don't see these unpaid forum stalwarts anymore and I miss their posts. In my early days here, and even later, I learnt a lot from their posts on various issues related to both Sonos and home audio in general. Users and posters of today don't know what they are missing obviously; suffice it to say that they are missing a lot. In places like these, people move on and one loses track of them; wherever they are, here's hoping they are well and thriving in their present pursuits.

Sonos Controller for Windows - Shortcut key for pause and play

Thank you for the latest UI update on Sonos Controler, looks better. One feature that I have been missing for a long time is a simple [b]shortcut key for pause and play[/b]. For example F5 or Space. Now Spece/Enter do the trick IF you have the Play/Pause button activated, but if you have for example just adjusted the volume, Space/Enter do nothing. Also good UI design requires that all the functions that you have on the UI should be accessible without clicking with mouse.

Sonos, why did you stop my music?

What gives Sonos the right to come into my home and stop me using equipment that I paid for to play my musc from my server in my home? It is outrageous and unacceptable behaviour. It might have been acceptable if Sonos said you can’t upgrade until you confirm your email address, but to maliciously stop the system working Is despicable. A big red flag for future customers and raises big questions around privacy issues and Sonos real motivation for this. Trust has been lost. As an early adopter and until now admirer of Sonos, I’ll not be replacing my player when it reaches end of life, which I now expect will be artificially induced by Sonos.

Are you people crazy?

I tried to use my sonos just now (I have guests over) and I had to jump through hoops just to make it work (was working fine last week) needed create new password, re-enter email, etc. I just want to play music!! Any more of this, and I think I will seek resolution via my local consumer affairs organisation. (I'm talking refunds due to the device not being fit for purpose).
