Our old home was pre-wired and we used a SONOS Connect on our network to provide the sound source from our PC (Using SONOS S2 software) to our stereo receiver that was wired to the speakers. Our new house is not pre-wired for speakers so I was looking at using SONOS Play 5 speakers in the house over WiFi. One SONOS staff member I spoke to said I will need a PORT to connect to the speakers from our PC even though the PC and the speakers are on the same WiFi network. However a SONOS dealer locally told me I do not need the PORT, that I just need to use my iPad or iPhone to set up the speakers on the network and then the SONOS S2 app on my PC will find them. Which is correct?
I have a Sonos Five, a Beam, a roam, and a borrowed play:1 I'm looking to create a setup for watching music videos, I don't really watch too many movies. r I would like to widen the sound stage and get maximum flexibility. I would like it to be a mesh network if possible. Do I purchase? : Another Roam? This could be set up as a stereo pair and placed on either side of the play five or alternatively the Beam. No wires. Neat. Cost $299aud. Two Sonos Ones? This would allow surround sound but creates more power wires. Cost $398aud Another Five? Ultimate sound, but heavy, wired, and expensive. Cost $499aud I'm thinking of the Roam option. Any thoughts?
How the actual f**k can you discontinue services for people to simply stream music to overpricedhardware that they have purchased. The arrogance is unbelievable. Just let users stream from their devices to your devices. What a crock of s**t Sonos is. If you are a new user considering Sonos, go somewhere else. Their products suck.
I’m moving house and I’m going to be fixing my Arc to the wall, which is the best wall bracket to use?
I am about to start with Sonos for the first time. I have just ordered a Samsung Neo QLED 55” TV, which will be wall mounted with a Sonos ARC. My installer (who is independent of the shop I am buying from) recommend adding a Subwoofer - so I ordered a Sub Gen 3, but he said I would not need a pair of rear speakers. I had been thinking of a pair of rear One SL’s. But given the installers comments, my wife will not agree to any rears now.My room is not large - the distance from the TV on the opposite wall to our sofa will be around 4m. The width of the room is just under 5m. Is there anyone out there who initially just had an ARC + Sub, who then subsequently added rears - to comment on what the impact was ? It needs to be in the context of a similar room size - it is our small lounge, not a huge cinema room!Appreciate any thoughts.Many thanks Justin
As first revealed by yours truly 3 months ago, the IKEA Picture Frame speaker is available tomorrow. Review at https://www.theverge.com/22573890/ikea-sonos-symfonisk-picture-frame-speaker-reviewAnd before every starts moaning, it is of course S2-only.
No shortage of discussion about the issues with Sonos systems on mesh wifi networks.I’m just seeking advice on whether purchasing the Sonos Boost will let me circumvent the most common ones assuming I also purchase a Google Nest Wifi system.I’m hoping to get set up with the following:Sonos One (currently have) Sonos Five (currently have) Sonos Boost (considering purchasing) Google Nest Wifi (considering purchasing)Any advice from the experts is most appreciated
When we built our home, Sonos was not around. I put in a distributed sound system by Russound. It consists of a multi-zone amplifier which feeds 6 zones. Each zone has a wall-mounted controller (on/off, volume and source) with in-ceiling speakers. To this system I connect my TV, dvd/cd player, Apple TV, speakers in various rooms…..10 speakers in total. we are renovating currently and it seems like a good time to make some changes. I would like something that uses the speakers I have and the TV CD DVD inputs. I was advised by a sound company that I could do all that I do now with a Sonos ampIt does not seem that that is correct. What would I need to get from Sonos to be able to use the in wall controllers, the in ceiling speakers, controls 6 zones, that I can connect the TV, CD/DVD, Apple TV to. i appreciate the advise and your expertise. Thank you in advance.
Hello, We are thinking about getting a few Sonos One Speakers for our office. I am not familiar with this system so I have a few questions to see if it will work how we want. If I buy 4 Sonos Ones, can they all be controlled separately? We would like to be able to all listen to the same thing but also change the music for each “zone” if we want.Can I have 4 different users control the Sonos app?
I have the old Play 1, 3 and 5. What would be a new equivalent to the 5? I also plan on expanding in the future. Thank you
I’m currently setting up roughly 1,500 square foot basement with 4 TV’s on north, south east and west walls. I was thinking 4 SONOS Arc’s at each TV along with 1 sub for game time and music to keep the clean look and good sound throughout. Anyone think this will work or should i switch some to play 5’s?I’m looking for recommendations if this will be okay for both music and TV. Comments please….
why i cant order this ?
Setting up a system to drive six speakers and a sub woofer. It will be about $300 cheaper to go with an amp plus port. Should I do that versus two Sonos amps?
Dear Sonos being a huge investor into your system I decided it was time to upgrade into the garden. I looked at the outdoor indoor set and thought that would work. the shipping date for this is end of July. That is 8 weeks away - of course I can purchase from your retailers that seem to have plenty of stock. so I thought maybe I should move to the amp and sonance speaker set and this also has shipping in the distant future. I contacted customer service who said demand was high and they are unable to fulfil orders. this morning I received two emails from you.. ‘fast and free shipping’. This is clearly not correct as fast is really next day, even next month would be better than two. the second email was regarding high demand on the move and get the last few items, before this email you had an 8 week wait list. my question is why can’t you be honest and tell people what the issue is? Do you think it is right to give the wrong information to your customers? frustrated buyer of your infras
Hiya..I am looking to buy a couple of Roams to use around the house. I was wondering if I would be able to take them away in my motor home and use them straight from my iPhone as a stereo play or would I need to set up some Linda local network? Hoping for the former! Martin
Hi have a roam speaker thinking of getting 2. I understand 2 x roam can be used in Stereo under wifi, and does not work in stereo in bluetooth.Can 2 sonos roams be connected to a single bluetooth streaming?Is it possible to play 2 x sonos roam not in stereo from either a samsung galaxy s7 or iphone 12. Thanks
Hi guys,This is my first post using this platform and I’m still getting familiar with how everything works. I’ve owned my Sonos products for about a year now, which consists of the following items;Arc2x Fives1 x Sub Gen 3Those are in my living room as I frequently use them for music, PS4 gaming and 4K/Dolby Amos enabled movie streaming (Netflix). I have no complaints about the performance and listening experience however I’ve become aware that I can add a second Sub Gen 3 and wished to know if anyone has first hand experience and if there’s proper improvement.

Newbie here after purchasing ARC and GEN 3 sub. The sound was nice and solid so far. Wonder to invest in surround sound to achieve ATMOS is require. can I purchase a speaker for testing or any recommendations?
Guys..I’m about to purchase a Connect-Amp with a manufacture date of 2015 Aug. Seller is adamant that i’ts a gen 2 as he has installed the upgrades for S2, however it has a mute button. I’ve read that the mute button is gen 1. Does any one have a gen 2 connect amp with a mute button?
Hello! I am looking for some help with a challenge I currently have.The end result I would like to achieve is having a record player that’s capable of being listened to through the house. We are an apple house so all components support AirPlay 2, presently.Currently the system consists of two independent Sonos Amp’s that drive a pair of in-ceiling speakers each. Additionally there is a Denon AVR-X4700H that drives the surround system.If I am understanding correctly the Sonos Port (which is OOO until late November) SHOULD be able to stream “wirelessly” to any Sonos targets which id assume includes the stand alones and amps. Can it stream many at once?More curiously can it both take advantage of streaming to sonos targets AND physically to the Denon via the audio out ports?Last.. am I over complicating things? Is there a vinyl player out there that would make this all work much better.
Hi everyone, I bought an Arc on Sonos.com and it “shipped” on 6/29 but since then FedEx has been stuck on Shipment Information Sent to FedEx. Contacted Sonos last week and was told to just wait. But was just wondering if anyone else had hit this in the past? 2 weeks seems like a really long time for something that is ‘in stock’
