What to get

I recently purchased a Beam Gen 1 while being unaware that Gen 2 was right around the corner (still in the return window.) I like the sound of the Gen 1 for both cinema and music listening. Given my setup, I actually don’t care as much about the performance for cinema as I use the system  primarily for music. So, I’m thinking that features such as DTS and eARC are not as relevant for me. I also use my Beam on it’s own when watching movies and don’t activate any of my other speakers.That said, I want to make sure I’m getting the best product that I can. Is it worth returning my Beam Gen 1 and getting the Gen 2 if I primarily care about music performance? Will the Gen 2 be better or worse for music performance? The same? I’m having trouble distinguishing the difference, if there are a different amount of speakers, different size speakers, etc.

I have a system that was setup by an installer that is no longer available.  It consist of several of the white Connect:Amp that operate in wireless mode.  I would like to add an additional system to power some new outdoor speakers.  I don’t think the Connect;Amp are still available.  What product should I add?  It would be two speakers with about a 100 foot run of cable.  Thanks

Hello, everyone!I am currently using Sonos Arc with two Sonos One SL and a Sonos Sub. I am perfectly happy with this setup used for TV, but not so when listening to music. I find the stereo field too narrow from the front. As such, I am thinking of buying two Sonos Fives to widen the stereo image.First of all, is it even a good idea? Will incorporating two Fives into the setup (situated further apart than the width of Arc) a viable way to accomplish my goal?Secondly - will it be possible to configure all of the speakers into one setup? If not, is it possible to have two configurations (Arc+2xSL+Sub AND 2xFive+2xSL+Sub) and change them on-the-fly? Or will I have to manually reconfigure everything everytime I would like to change from “Movie Time” to “Music Time” (not a good scenario)?

Hi all,I was looking for some time for a new setup in my living room: have a simple system for music (streaming), TV watching, very occasionally movie (typically I watch movies with headphones not to disturb family and neighbours) and later add turntable. My primary choice was KEF LS50 Wireless II, but due to costs and usage simplicity I’ve chosen Sonos Arc to try (I have no other Sonos products, neither planning to get any, at the moment)And while Arc seems to be good for TV, and obviously movies sound much better, I am bit disappointed in its music performance. I am not audiophile by no means (just know good sound a bit), but to me music sounds very “uninspiring”, especially on low volumes. So the choices I am looking at the moment:Add Sub to Arc - I’ve read that music performance improves, specifically on low volumes, but I presume it will not do miracles (i.e. proper stereo). Also, in order to connect turntable, I would need to buy Port, which would increase the price closer to KEF

I've ordered the full ARC 5.1.2 system which is on back order until the end of Oct. My movie room is only 9m square (3m x 3m) and I've seen some reviews saying that your room needs to be at least 16m square to benefit from the sound as the system would be too overpowering for any rooms smaller than this, anyone have the full set up in a small room like mine? With the Beam 2 offering artificial Atmos I'm wondering if I'd be better swapping the Arc for the Beam 2 however there aren't any reviews in it yet and I'd want to know what the Atmos effect is like before making that decision. ​​​

Hi,I have one pair of Bose speakers currently on my Deck powered by Bose amplifier.I am planning to add another pair of speakers on my patio.I want to have the flexibility of able to control each pair separately - i.e., I want to be able to play same music on both pairs, or switch off one pair. Or even control volume on each pair.I am planning to buy two SONOS amp to do this and connect each pair separately to each SONOS Amp. Will it work? Will I be able to control each pair separately OR all together - Play same or different music on both pairs, or even turn off one pair.Also, for another pair of speakers, do I stick with BOSE outdoor speakers , or I can buy any other speaker with causing any interference?Thanks

Just had an aha moment today listening. I have a set of Play 1s (Blue Note Editions but same as other versions just a unique color) in my 12’ x 15’ Office. While normally I have these as background music as I am taking phone calls, working, etc. I had an opportunity to let the dogs out today as I was doing a bunch of cleaning in the office, no work. WOW, I just realized how incredible they sound when paired up with Sonos Radio HD (listening to Guitar Gods) station and turned up (maybe 25%). While one of them would be good enough in a room this size I just need the stereo channeling for my tastes and I was just blown away. The interplay, detail and the fine tuning that they have done with these in conjunction with it is just awesome. If you are ever in doubt between 1 or 2-get 2 you will never be sorry.

Hello, I am getting ready to purchase a Sonos ARC and a SUB.for surround speakers I am going to get the “In-Ceiling Set”https://www.sonos.com/en-us/shop/amp-and-ceiling-set.htmlWill these all work together? Does anyone have this setup? Are they happy with it?I was trying to find some docs on how I would connect the Sonos ARC and the AMP that comes with the “In-Ceiling Set”Thanks for any help 

Anyone know what the problem is with availability of the Sonos Beam in black?Consistently shown as out of stock and only available in white. Same problem with main stores. Is it just a supply problem for the UK or is it being discontinued? Hopefully not!

Bonjour j’ai des sonos sl qui fonctionne que avec le wifi mais je n’ai plus de box internet donc les sonos sl ne peuvent plus fonctionné si j’achète une Sonos beam brancher directement à la tv avec le hdmi est ce que les sonos sl pourront jouer de la music ou un film via une clés usb branché à la tv  . Mod edit - added English translation from Google Translate:Hello I have sl sonos that only works with wifi but I no longer have an internet box so the sl sonos can no longer work if I buy a Sonos beam connect directly to the tv with the hdmi is what the sonos sl will be able to play music or a movie via a usb key connected to the tv.

Is their a recommendation for a TV brand/model that has eARC capabilities that is reliable for receiving a Dolby atmos signal? Realize this is a loaded question but any recommendation on a good performer (s) would be helpful. Preferably, a TV that is “tried and true.” Thanks  

We have the following currently: 1x Playbar, 2x Play 1, and 2x One SL.My wife REALLY wants to just pick a CD from our collection and put it into a player an play. I have tried the ripped CD route and it just isn’t her cup of tea. I see that the Five can play CDs and for an extra $100 it makes sense to me to just get that instead of the Port. What CD player can someone recommend that doesn’t break the bank (I see Dennon and others for like $400 which seems excessive just for something to play CDs)? I guess it would need the 3.5mm jack output to go into the Sonos Five? Looking for recommendations that don’t involve ripping my CD collection and a decent CD player $100-200 that will work with Sonos Five

Good morning can anyone tell me is there any need to buy Sonos Amplifier I Currently  I have a Sonos Arc 2 Sl Ones and a Sonos Subwoofer GEN3 i really don’t know if there is any Advantage if so can you tell me please regards james 

Is there a workaround or do I need two subs?

I just purchased a Sonos Roam - probably my 9th piece of Sonos equipment. I tried to hook it up to my system and basically it says that I cant connect this thing unless I throw out all my old SONOS gear. Are you guys short on money or something? This just seem pretty pathetic for a real company to brick all their old equipment. My father has Bose speakers from the 70 that work great.... I just cant believe you would do this to your customers. Is there any way to just listen to this thing with my blue tooth or do I need to register and have the app? What about my friends... Do they need to register and have the app too? If I want to listen to this at my friends house and he has existing Sonos can I use it without him having to brick his old Sonos gear? So many questions abut your goal here??

I own a Beam, 2 Sonos one and a Sub, I love watching movies and listen to music. What's your best setup for the speakers? I've found myself lowering the volume of the sub and having the volume of the one's all the way up. I'd love to read the setup of your choice. 

Ready for my next purchase. Which is better, Move or Roam?

Hello everyone,I’m about to buy my very first Sonos product. My plan is to buy a Beam and 2 One SL for the TV, 2 One SL in the kitchen (right near by the living room) and 2 One SL in the bedroom (right near the living room too). I have a Playstation 5, a Nintendo Switch and an Apple TV.How to connect everything to be sure that it works as simply as possible? My wife will kill me if it takes too long to start the whole thing or if you want to switch from the Apple TV to the Playstation. In addition to this, there is wifi everywhere and RJ45 right behind the TV and in the bedroom.Thanks a LOT for your help :)

With so many of the products seemingly on backorder, do they charge your credit card immediately or when the item(s) ship?

Hello Everyone,Our new house is wired for speakers and the holes are already cut, any recommendations for wired speakers?Important elements:two zones, one for TV and music, one just for music each zone has 4 speaker holes Holes are ~ 9.5” no power at the speaker locations, only speaker wires Thanks,Jason 

I accidentally upgraded two products that I don’t want to upgrade. I was thinking it was an update, not upgrade. How do I release them from upgrade status?

I have no experience with Sonos, but i think this is the best choice.Building new house, at first I need some basic knowledge (minimum setup in al rooms) to be able to discuss further.In living room will be TV and projector  with free-standing two stereo speakers. Sonos as a cinema system (in wall or ceiling).Depending on the specifics of the object, there can be no cables from house to outdoors (to second floor jacuzzy zone or fireplace zone, steam house).All equipment is planned in technical room no 11.Proposals can be drawn by hand (easer to understand for me), with the SONOS equipment layouts /schemes. The area in square meters is indicated next to the rooms numbers. The first floor from one side to the other is 26 meters horizontally and 23 meters vertically. Little bigger image in links first floor linksecond floor link thank you for your help!
