What to get

Hi, after some views and opinions! I have a new kitchen extension being built in the coming months and I really want to have a nice audio solution. The space is open and reasonable large, looking for quality of sound for music as primary concern, this won’t be used for TV audio. I’ve got 1 Sonos amp already purchased and was looking at getting 2 pairs of the Sonos by Sonance in ceiling speakers. I went into richer sounds and the guy there threw a bit of a spanner in the works... his opinion was i could get a better setup for less by purchasing another Sonos amp and 2 sets of monitor audio in ceiling speakers. With the deal he could do I’d be saving about 200 pounds. the main points the guy raised was control of volume or switching speakers on/off in different parts of the kitchen. He also believed the sound quality would be better from MA speakers due to directional tweeters etc. He didn’t seem to think the Sonance speakers warranted the price tag... I haven’t heard either sets

If the objective is the most powerful SonosNet setup, can a wired Sonos One (Gen2) really be as good as a Boost (3 antennas 360 broadcast etc)? Does the Play One also have 3 antennas in ?

I want to add my partner to my Sonos account but be able to access his own music on his phone rather than just having access to my music.

I have 4 Play 1’s and a sound bar all working off my Bridge (which is hardwired to modem). System works fine, no drop outs etc. Do I have to upgrade to Boost? And you people all seem very smart & technical LOL. so I would appreciate answers in terms I can understand. I use the app on my iphone, iPad, or MacBook Air to run system. Thank you!

Just like to say you can easily play music from your iPhone on air play simple if you have .. was pissed when realised on phone ability to play music had gone 😁

Do the sonos1 have Poe or is it best just to use WiFi ?

Amp at main TV is going out at the main greatroom. I have Directv DVR, an Apple TV, Xbox connected to three speaker desk top type speakers, I have similar setup in tv area in lower level, TVs in master, and three guest rooms and in screened in room off master BR. I have a six zone Elan S6 controller /amplifier audio system with key pads, volume controls, and wired speakers in each zone and sub zones; main zone covers great room, kitchen, dining, entry, laundry room, one guest room and outside deck today I only run a 2nd Apple tv connected directly to Elan to stream my music. I need to replace my pioneer elite AVR but was thinking of integrating Sonos components so I could stream music service, music from my iTunes, and push main tv/ Apple TV sound to wired wall/ceiling speakers outside deck to deck. I was thinking of replacing rec/amp I have in lower level tv area at same time. Can i replace my AVR with Sonos amps at both locations and add a Sonos Port connected to the Elan system

Hello, I am currently building a home and would like to use Sonos as the brains of my audio for the home. I need some guidance as to what products I should be purchasing and how I should be laying things out. I will list the rooms, what type of speakers and what I hope to do with them. Originally I was thinking of wiring everything to one point in mech room and having an amp in the family room for tv. Not sure how many of each and what would be best for my use. All help and input is appreciated!! 2nd Floor Master Bathroom : In ceiling speaker (music only) Master Bedroom : 2 in ceiling speakers to play music and possibly tv audio Laundry Room : In ceiling speaker (music only) 1st Floor Family room: Play bar plus in wall speakers for surround if possible If I were to get an amp for this room would that amp have a delay when playing music from other sonos devices? Kitchen (open concept to fam room): 2 in ceiling speakers (mostly music, maybe tv on rare occasions) Dining Room/Living

I recently purchased a model home that included a Origin Acoustics Valet AV850 Distributed Audio Amplifier (OA). My previous house was stocked with SONOS Play Bars, Play Ones (gen1), Subs, and a connect so while I enjoy the OA capabilities I simply want to play the same music throughout the house rather than supporting two eco-systems and therefore two music streams. The OA currently works with Gen 2 Echo Dots. They talked about adjusting the ceiling mount for the gen 3 Echo Dot but never delivered. As for how it works, Ethernet cables run from each of the OAs four zones to ceiling mounted Echo Dots. The Ethernet cable goes into a OA dongle that contains one Ethernet out jack and one 3.5mm jack. Short connections from the dongle are made to the Echo dot. The Echo Dot gets powered via POE from the OA amplifier and sound from the Dot travels through the 3.5mm output back through the OA dongle and Ethernet cable into to the OA amplifier. Any sounds from the Dot can be heard directly thr

I know this may seem like a strange comparison but I'm wondering if the IKEA bookshelf speaker is right for me. Currently I have a 5.1 system consisting of a Beam Sonos Ones and Sub. Eventually I plan to outfit all .y rooms with Sonos. I currently have the Google home in my bedroom and considering adding the IKEA bookshelf speaker or maybe a pair. My delima is the reviews on the bookshelf speaker. Many say the bass response is weak and rarely go into detail. How weak? Is worse than a Google Home Speaker which actually has a little thump to it but I'm willing to bet the IKEA is better. I'm not expecting room shaking bass or anything like that, just something better if even by a little than the Google Home. Anyone have an idea or experience with both of these speakers. Or Am I better off just getting another Sonos One. Your input (or anyone's) would be greatly appreciated.

This is probably mostly of interest to those in the UK, because that's where the prices are relevant. Consider this a pubic service announcement :) I had a spare Connect:Amp after buying one of the new Amps. It was sitting forlornly in its box, so I was looking for a pair of relatively compact and inexpensive speakers to partner it with, to return it to usefulness. I settled on a pair of Q Acoustics Concept 20s, and I ordered a pair without listening to them beforehand. (Yes, I know.) They arrived today, and I'm really, properly impressed with the sound quality of the resulting system. They're a perfect match for the Connect:Amp's power (and more than loud enough for me), and if you buy the white version they're also a perfect match aesthetically, with their white and aluminium construction. In my view, this system is something of an excellent audio bargain, with the Connect:Amp discounted at £399 and the speakers discounted at £279. You're getting a lot of sound quality plus Son

If I pre-odered Sonos Move on Sep 7 when can I expect to receive it? I check my order status and it just says back-ordered. When you order it says it will be delivered by Sep 24th. Am I to assume status will update soon and this will ship sometime before 9/24 and my CC will be charged sometime before 9/24 on the same day it ships? Thanks!!

I want to buy rear speakers and ideally want to buy two move speakers to do this. The move looks to be a brilliant around the home speaker, but too large to take away with me. I have a big patio so two move speakers outside occasionally when we get good weather in the UK would be brilliant. I want to spend more money than Sonos one’s and want to know whether this will work. If not how do we petition to get a software update to make Move’s work in a surround set up?

Would love to order another speaker, but your website won't recognise my (very ordinary, regular, used a millions times before) post code. Tried for a while using various options so now given up.

Please help! I am using VLC on the Apple TV (HDMI to a projector) to play local video files for a film screening but the Sonos One stereo pair I created won't play sound. The 'room' appears as an output option in the Audio settings of the Apple TV but when I select it (instead of the HDMI) I get no sound. I've tried leaving the HDMI option selected (you can set both) but still nothing. Any leads would be appreciated. Thanks.

Sonos just announced three (3) new products namely the Move and One SL speakers; as well as the Port the successor to the Connect. I’m not going to talk about how great the new products are as you can read that for yourself. However, some may be saying to themselves…"Wow those are great additions to the Sonos line-up; but I already have Sonos speakers and/or a Connect so I can’t justify the additional purchase". Well here’s something that may just ease the pain (and your conscience) to make that buying decision and that is to Up-Trade. Up-Trading is taking an existing Sonos product and using it to offset the cost of the Sonos product you’d like to own. I’ve done it twice since the introduction of the Sonos Move and Port. First, understand that Sonos products really do hold their value. In my experience on average one can expect to recoup anywhere from 50 to 60 percent of the original purchase price. My examples involve two Play 3’s (that were not in use) and a Connect that I Up-trad

We're doing a major home reno and want to upgrade to Sonos for music and TV sound. Currently my music is coming off iTunes on a Windows PC via an Apple Airport (I know, I know) to my old component system. We just use big TV built-in speakers. We're not big special-effects-movie people so we're probably going to go with a Beam rather an a Surround Sound setup for living room. So I have questions. 1) I'm one of those guys with 80 gigs of music on his computer, and I'd still rather play from the PC -- and use my years of iTunes playlists -- to play through the Sonos. Can I do that? 2) Should I get another Beam for music in the kitchen or do I need to go to separate standalone Sonos speakers? Advantages?

Hi all, i currently live in a 6 story apartment with an open floor concept (living room, kitchen and dining room combined). i have a beam attached to the tv with 2 Sonos Ones for surround sound. I just bought a Play 5 for the kitchen. My question: Would the Play 5 give enough sound quality and separation in the space or should I just get another Sonos One for the kitchen. I’ve provided photos for a point of reference.

 Updated: 02/14/21 (see Notes below for additional information)This chart has been adjusted to showcase those speakers shown in the picture above which are current in the Sonos catalogue. The Sonos Arc is the newest addition to the family of Sonos speakers. It brings Dolby Atmos sound to the Sonos Home Theater listening experience. Although not listed in this chart click the link under Notes to view a detail of it compared to other Sonos.The Sonos Five with subtle cosmetic changes has replaced the Play 5.The Sonos Sub has been upgraded to a 3rd generation with the addition of an infinity button for setup and a few internal upgrades.  In addition to the above Sonos has listened to it’s audience and incorporated in the S2 software the ability to add two subs for increased low-end performance.  Home Theater enthusiasts will find this feature a welcome addition.  The Playbar and Playbase are included only for reference; as they are discontinued, but still may be available via 3rd party res

Hi, I am considering to make the move over to a wireless sound eco system. To start of: a HEOS is also still in the race, altough I lean towards Sonos for esthetic point of view: so pretty! Our house is not to big, but i would like to get as close as possible to an "immersive sound experience" wich means (for me): more or less the same sound experience all across the room. Sound quality is more important than maximum volume (but I would like to have some punch in the setup when having a small party/get together). Detail and well balanced sound is most important. I'm not really interested in the smart features with voice control etc. For TV sound there would probably also be a beam involved. See drawings below for the setup... Now the questio, what is the best way to go, and why? Or are there even better setups (without adding to the budget) In the upper half, across from the beam, is the couch. In the middel area on the left is kitchen, and the lower half is the dining area. Als

I've had a CONNECT for two non-Sonos speakers for a few years, and now wish to connect two more non-Sonos speakers. Simple question: What do I buy?

When will we be charged? right when it's shipped?

I have a Denon AVR-X4300H with 5 Klipsche speakers hooked up for 5.1 surround sound in my living room. I'm using sonos thru out my house to control both wired in ceiling speakers with amp and wireless play 1 speakers. I use the sonos app to control all of these except for the home theater setup. I would like to use the sonos app to control only the two tower speakers of my 5.1 system. I currently have an extra amp could I use it? If not what do I need to do? Thanks

I want to pipe in audio from an external source into my Sonos system, which I can do with a CONNECT using analog in. I want this to play on my Sonos speakers, and I also want to play the music on external speakers, which I can do using the analog out RCA output on the CONNECT. Question: Can I do those both at once on the same CONNECT device? (run in from music source, stream over sonos, and run out to external speakers) THANK YOU!

Hi I just ordered one of the speakers and I chose the payment plan but I am not sure if I set it up correctly and i think i May have payed for the whole thing. What are the steps to set it up?
