I have several Sonos devices and this one has recently just stopped working, I have checked the power lead, have tried another working lead, fuse socket etc. nothing gets it to work.
there are literally hundreds of such events posted, with these being so expensive you would expect them to last. Is there an underlying issue with Sonos longevity?
+16You should be happy when an electronic device last more that ten years AND is still supported by the company! The play 3 was released in mid 2011 which makes it a thirteen year old product. I have a MacBook Pro from the same time and is no longer supported by Apple.
Sonos has built some of the longest lasting speakers in its category. I still use a ZP100 on the S1 app. That device was released in 2005 and still works flawlessly.
My two Play 3s, bought back in 200? are still working fine.
Only thing I do special is have them plugged into a quality surge suppressor. Cheap junk that doesn’t really work really doesn’t help. I recommend Tripp-Lite devices.

Tech junk, I have separate hifi in a different part of the house and it’s 29 years old and works flawlessly. If Sonos are going to play in this space make it last. I have 11 speakers and wondering if I truly invested badly.

Comparing older analog audio equipment to network audio equipment is like comparing apples to oranges.
I have used Sonos in my home since 2007 and never had one unit go bad. Sometimes electronics do break, but that does not mean it’s junk. It simply means there was a bad part on something happened within your environment like a power surge. A power surge is not a fault of the manufacturer.

Everyone has an opinion as you have not witnessed mine your comments are not adding value. If I think it’s junk thats my view. Believe me surge protection isn’t the issue here faulty equipment is. And Sonos are happy to sell you an upgrade as opposed to support someone that’s invested almost £3k in their brand.
You got lucky with that 29 year old unit. Units are typically designed for a 10-15 year horizon. If a unit fails at 15 years, I don’t recommend repairing unless it is some sort of expensive classic that still retains significant value in the marketplace.
My analog audio gear works forever and parts are easy to source and replace.
My newer digital gear regularly packs it in, no parts and factory service is only available for a couple years. My Sonos have outlasted two generations of Denon gear.
Just dropped a new pump and brew switch in my 20 year old espresso machine, good for another 20.
Well treated, Sonos seems to be of above average quality and durability compared to similar devices. They are far better at supporting old gear, far too many manufacturers leave old versions orphaned in just a couple years.
