What to get

An an existing owner (and shareholder!!) got the 25% sale offer. I really wanted to upgrade to an Arc Ultra but the discount doesn’t apply to it. I’m quite miffed at that. I’m happy with my existing setup except for the Beam. Why in the world would I be restricted to stuff I don’t want??And any other recommendations to use the discount? I use Sonos for surround sound in my TV room.

I have a Beam Gen 2 speaker with a sub-mini and I am thinking of adding two speakers for a surround sound experience when watching movies. I have a modest sized Lounge and the current set-up gives good sound quality. Any thoughts on the best additional speakers to purchase? Thanks and happy Listening.

I have a problem with my hearing.   I have some problems with deep (bass) voices merging into one.  The right ear is worse but I can usually hear what I need.  My main problem is that certain letters sound different ie S sounds like F etc .  I hear my tv ( 1 year old top spec) but due to the letter issues I sometimes loose the plot.   All this is not severe so most people would not know.I’m hoping a sound bar and perhaps speakers will help.  I have been looking at the Sonos Beam and Arc sound bars.  Perhaps a speaker might also help but as low tones merge I’m assuming the the bass speaker would not help /improve  my experience.Can anyone help with suggestions or a personal experience.

I would like to add ceiling speakers / amp to a summer house/gym, what do I need to set this up correctly?I will have internet hard wired to the summer house/gym. do i need to consider anything else? thanks in advance.

Hi guys me again, looking to place my Arc Ultra on the wall or on a TV cabinet, could anyone advise if I should use the HDMi cable which comes with the soundbar (according to what I’ve read) or should I look at alternatives in other words are there better quality ones on the market. Also I have an optical cable but Sona’s advertise one and I’ve read somewhere where is states to connect this and the HDMi cable also, can someone say why I need both please? thanks again in advance. Smuj

Hi there I have a beam Gen 2 and wondered what would be a better next purchase, an era 300 or sub mini? My living room isn’t huge but wondered if the era 300 would connect with my beam if I went for that? Open to some suggestions thanks 

Reviews are not possible for obvious reasons. I have owned for awhile and upgraded once my Sonos system. The app is crap. They have since reduced functionality/sound controls, I constantly have issues with the app. Crashing It requires constant reboots, too many updates for less service, now recently and final straw it is requiring an update that is dead end. No fix offered and I am not here to waste more time with sonos tech support  Error message says retry later with no options to fix and zero functionality. I now know I paid wayyyyy too much for this garbage company's junk product. Replacement systems they offer cost stupid money for crap app and only fair to good speakers. Buy it if you want speakers that forever increase in costs and headaches. I want my money back and damages. It's like buying shoes and the soles soon fall off in a sharp rock pavement.

My dad has a room in the house where he used to listen to music and decompress.  His speaker system is outdated so I would like to set him up with a Sonos system.  What would you recommend for just listening to music only?  None of these products would be connected to a TV.

Hello, Sonos professionals,I’m getting a new house in a few days, and I’m finishing the basement with a SONOS system in mind--while I have the exposed walls, I’m trying to get the electrical setup. The living room upstairs will have an Arc Ultra and sub (where we watch tv--eventually I will add the erras for surround), and I want the basement to be able to sync to it for when we have parties.My question is how to do the basement. It’s about 700 square foot, and most of it is in one square, open area. I will have a poker table, a pool table, and a bar in this area. I’m designing the system for MUSIC primarily, as there won’t be a dedicated entertainment area any time soon, despite the presence of a wall mounted TV. I want something that can bang when it wants to for parties, but otherwise, provides clean universal music that can be talked over, specifically for poker games (so no speakers directly in anyone’s faces.)I’m currently thinking that two

With $1,000 US to spend will I be better off replacing my ArcSL with and Arc Ultra or enhancing my Arc SL with a pair of ERA 300s?

Hi my first post so please be gentle… ☺️Arc and Arc UltraWhats is the main difference and what do you recommend?The room isn’t huge so we were looking at a few options Arc or Arc Utra (big price difference) Era 3s and a Sub / Mini or Gen 4.Any guidance would be appreciated, we are coming form having a Sony sound bar and Wireless Sub. TIASmuj

I recently upgraded my wifi system form an RBR50 based Orbi router plus 3 sateelites ot a Google Nest Pro mesh system and it has been a disaster. The system drops out at random and it is clear form other posts that there are some fundamental issues with the nest pro mesh system. I am not a techie and do not have any more hours to spend on support chats/calls (I just want a system that I can connect up after restting my mixed Sonos system and it works and can be controlled from my PC, iphone and iPad, seemingly not possible on google.I know that soem folks have found workarounds but I just want a simple life. Any help much appreciated.

I am moving from Canada (120v) to France (220v) with a number of SONOS speakers and want to know where I can purchase EU power plugs.

Hi,I have a 36-square-meter living room.I currently own 2 Era 300s. To me, they lack bass punch. Initially, I wanted to return them, but I missed the return window, so I bought a Sub Mini to address the bass issue. The sound is good, but unfortunately, I don’t like how the Sub Mini looks in my living room. The optimal placement for the sub makes it very visible, and it looks like a small trash can to me (and to my wife). I’m considering returning the Sub Mini and selling the 300s to get a pair of Fives, which, based on what I’ve read, don’t need a subwoofer to deliver good bass and punchy sound. Here’s my question: Will a pair of Fives without a sub sound as good as or better than a pair of 300s for stereo music? I don’t listen to Atmos music.Will the difference be noticeable? If you could rate the sound quality of a pair of 300s at 100%, how much would you rate the Fives? Thanks!

I have an old player that I used to connect to my router via a Sonos bridge. This now does not work as it causes my internet to drop really low with the new bt router I have. What is the cheapest way to connect the playbar so I can play music on it. It is connected to my Sony Bravia TV.

Hi all,I am already a Sonos supporter with over 15 speakers, my son has moved out so i have snaffled his room as my man cave! I ordered a bean and two era100 on Saturday to add to the new TV but was informed nothing would hapened until January 21st...so just wondering if this is a result of the deck chair shuffling over the last few day or another reason?Ian 

Have existing in ceiling speakers in two different rooms (2 speakers in each room).  The speaker wires terminate in a  media cabinet.  I bought a Sonos amp to drive the speakers and can now use the Sonos app to listen to music on these speakers.  I also have a turntable in the living room that I want to listen to on these speakers.  I bought a Sonos port and connected the turntable to it via rca jacks, line in.  I tried to Group the port and amp but I can’t get the turntable sound from any of the speakers.  Am I close to a solution?

hello,i have recently bough a sonos arc and 2 sonos Era 100 for my living room and kitchen.i have an open area with the kitchen and the living room.the area of the living room (about 45 sqm) has the TV with the sonos ARC and 2 sonos era 100. I would like to improve the whole room (living room+kitchen) but i don´t know what is the best option.may be +2 Era100 in the  area of the kitchen?may be +1 sonos five in the area of the kitchen????I don´t have for the moment a sub, and i´m not thinking in one, because the sound is great only with the ARC + 2ERA100.and i don´t have them as surround, may be it´s also a mistake.i use it more for music than for films. thanks in advance for your ideas !!    

I have a 75” Roku tv in my medium sized bedroom. Wondering if the arc ultra provides enough bass and will fill the room as a standalone. If I’m going to end up needing a sub I’d likely go with the beam 2 with sub mini. But I like the idea of a single unit, as well as the aesthetics of the bigger bar with that size TV. Thanks!

Hello,I am trying to figure out what would be the best speaker solution for my bathroom, which gets much ‘steamy’. I am currently between Roam 2 and Era 100, but I would appreciate any ideas and suggestions. V

Hi everyone,I am completely novice, so I would appreciate your advice, on something that may seem trivial: I’m considering what my future setup should be and need some advice.Can a Roam 2, an Era 100, and an Era 300 be connected so they can all play the same music simultaneously? Each speaker would be in a different room.If it’s possible, is the synchronization seamless? Are there any limitations I should be aware of when using these models together?Thanks in advance for your help!V

I would love to get your suggestions for speaker choices. I am focusing on two spaces, both rectangular without any interior walls: an open-concept space (kitchen/dining/living), 14ft x 25ft with 10ft ceilings [4.3m x 7.6m x 3m] a home office, 14ft x 14ft with 9ft ceilings [4.3m x 4.3m x 2.7m] I listen to a lot of music (mostly EDM, downtempo, R&B, lo-fi) and a fair amount of podcasts. Based on what I've read so far, I might want some combination of Era 100, Era 300 and/or Five for the two spaces. For the larger space (350sqft / 32sqm), I could place one speaker at either end of the space, both facing toward the center. Or I could place one speaker closer to the center along a wall. What would you think of:2x Era 100, with or without mini Sub 2x Era 300 1x Five 2x FiveFor the smaller space (200sqft / 18sqm), would 1x Era 100 along a wall be sufficient to fill the room wit

Hello. I've always used traditional passive speakers with an integrated amplifier, but recently, I've become fascinated by wireless speakers. While browsing online, I was drawn to the Sonos Five, and I'm considering purchasing a pair. However, today I came across numerous negative reviews about the Sonos app for Android, citing issues such as connectivity problems, volume control malfunctions, and more. For me, these issues would be unacceptable in a wireless speaker. I’ve read that some of these problems have been fixed, but when spending over 1000 euros on a pair of Fives, I expect a stable connection and a fully functional Android app. What’s the situation like in 2025 according to your experience?
