What to get

Hi, I’m looking to buy a few sonos one’s and maybe a sonos’s beam but would really like to save a few quid and get them certified refurbished from sonos as I have no problem with a used device. I was just wondering how regularly are the refurbished speakers restocked? and how quickly do they sell out? 

Hi All,I recently got the Arc and Subwoofer. I’m looking for some recommendations on a new power surge protector. 

Hi. I'd like to get a Sonos Arc. I currently have my LG TV connected to my Denon avr. I have my Sky, BTtv and XBox all connected to my Denon. This enables me to get Dolby Atmos through speakers attached to my Denon. If I get a Sonos Arc can I go from my current setup on my Denon into the Sonos Arc then out into my LG (or some similar setup) and get Atmos through the Sonos AND Denon avr and speakers at the same time? Don't know why but just think I'd like to keep my speakers as they are whilst also having the Sonos Arc. Am I being daft thinking like this? Cheers in advance. 

I have a Play:1 and Play:5 (Gen 1). I’m thinking of getting a Sonos Beam and wanted to understand if the Beam would group to the Play:1 and Play:5 (Gen 1)? I can’t think to find confirmation of this functionality on the Sonos site. 

For anyone who uses the Symfonisk lamp as a pseudo-alarm clock: can any of the physical controls on the lamp function as a snooze button for an alarm that’s programmed via S2? Or is snooze only possible using the app?Side question: I can’t figure out how the speaker is configured behind the mesh of the lamp. Is there a proper “front” to the speaker (relative to the on-off switch for the lamp)? 

Hi! - I have a Sonos system (2 Play 1’s as surrounds, Playbar) and also a Connect which I use to link my turntable to the system. Since the Connect is a legacy item, I’ve looked to shield from S2 updates. However, it is getting more and more difficult to avoid e.g. today both Play 1’s went ‘missing’ and the app tells me I have to update to S2 to sort it out.So, 2 questions:Is there any way I can ‘find’ those missing speakers whilst continuing to use S1, or If I have to bite the bullet, what is the best upgrade option to replace my Connect... Port? Amp?Any help, much appreciated - thanks

Hi allVery impressed. Ordered direct from SONOS dispatched from Holland and with me next day ! All set up quite simple having watched a few tutorials…It has replaced an Orbitsound Bar from around 2014 which had a wireless Sub..The clarity of voice is so much better with the SONOS  but lacks a bit of bass.  So, I am considering the SONOS sub… which is dearer than the Beam was..  While I am pleased with the Beam, would I be ‘blown away’ my spending the hard earned on the Sub ?  Any others  with this setup of a beam and a sub? 

I’ve just bought an Arc and connected it to my existing Sub Gen 2 and two play 5 rears.  I’ve also just bought a 75” Sony TV with eArc and I’m pondering the purchase of a second new Gen 3 sub. My room is 7m x 7m and has a 3m ceiling.Before I commit to this, just wondering if anyone else has bought a second sub and if there’s much of a difference?

I've done some research but just want to make sure I'm right. I have an LG C9 TV,  Xbox One X, Apple TV 4K and a Nintendo Switch. For all my devices to work correctly with both 5.1 and Atmos I'll need to wait for the LPCM update from Sonos? I currently have the beam but I understand it'll never do LPCM 5.1 for my Nintendo Switch.Thank you :) 

I have 2 5’s 2 1’s and a sub. I am having trouble getting it to connect to my samsung Q60 75 inch Tv. I am trying to connect them through wifi. Is that even doable. The tv has no rca port. Any and all help and advice will be much appreciated. Thanks. Q. Have a nice day!!

it is very difficult to place the mount and not put the active wire (fire code issues) in the wall.  i can tightly curl it up but it really doesnt work.  do they make a small arc cord? thanks

I’m thinking of replacing a Beam with Arc and was wondering if the plate that attaches to the speaker itself can be interchanged on the Sanus Beam tv mount. This would prevent having to take the TV down and reinstall the whole ARC TV mount.  

Hi everyone - we’ve recently brought a new house and wanted to purchase a multi-room sound system and have been recommended Sonos. We have thought about buying the Arch - connected to our TV via HDMI cable and two Move systems, one for upstairs and one for the downstairs / garden. I’ve got a few questions and would be very grateful for any advice or info… Can we ‘pair’ all three of the above speakers so we can play music throughout the house at the same time? We have two iphones (iphone 11 and 12) can we play different music through ‘paired’ speakers, i.e. my wife wants to listen to something upstairs and I want to listen to something different in the garden?  How does the app work? do we log-in to app and then link our Apple Music account, so we can use voice control? can more than one person have the app on their phone or tablet?  Thanks, Matt    

I have a white arc and want to wall mount it but can only find the bracket in black. Does this matter? Will the black be visible? I can see other soundbars come with wall brackets in the same colour.

i have the white sonos arc.  do they make sonos mount in white or only black.  can i paint the mount white if no white? 

I have the beam (just got it) so far really good. I’m wanting to get a couple rear speakers and was curious which of these two to get. Only difference is the voice control. I may also use these to take out side etc for the near future. Only 50 bucks difference surrently    tha k you 

I’m looking to merge my 5.1 non-sonos theatre system to control via sonos app. I want to be able to run it through a anthem 520 receiver, and be able to switch inputs from games consoles, to blue ray player, to media. I’m thinking the sonos port may be able to control this.  I have a zone 2 tv setup in a different room, connected via hdmi to that same receiver, this way I can use game console, blue ray player on both TV’s. my zone 2 audio is sonos 5.1, with a sub, playbar, and 2 paired play:3. i want to be bale to control this through sonos app aswell.I don’t wan to have to have a bunch of different remotes, and/or apps to control all of these. I want the ease of turning it all on/off and switching inputs with tops 2 apps.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Theatre room-martin logan motion left/centre/right-Soundstage left/right surround-samsung smart 75Q80TZONE 2-Playbar-sub-paired play:3-samsung 6 series (65)I a

Hi there,  First time posting - I’m looking to upgrade my Play:1 and ZP90… when I log on I can see that the Play:1 is eligible for a 15% credit, but the ZP90 doesn’t seem eligible… It’s weird as the only info it says in the upgrade section is ‘S1 ONLY’ - exactly the reason I want to upgrade…! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!! Mike

I purchased a Port to work with my existing amp and speakers. Since then the amp has stopped working and I have decided to go all in with Sonos. All I have from Sonos is the Port. I want to play music in my living room, connect my turntable (which is in an adjacent room) and connect via audio cable to my existing outdoor speakers. My thought was that I need an Amp and could hook my Port into my turntable allowing it to connect to the network. Then get a speaker for the main room and hook that and the current outdoor speakers to the Amp. Does that sound correct? Are there better options?

I am in the process of upgrading my family room home theater system with a new television/Xbox Series X/Sonos ARC.  We do a significant amount of online gaming and I am concerned about multiple blogs complaining about in-game audio lag with this setup.  This appears to be an issue across multiple setups including non-SONOS sound bars.  Before I spend a ton of cash I am wondering if there is an inherent problem with the console>TV>eARC>soundbar format with gaming specifically.  I envision that there is limited ability to adjust AV sync with online gaming since it is quite important not to have a delay in either in this environment.  For reference my current set up is XBOX One X with audio directly out to Playbar via optical and HDMI to my television with no delay issues but obviously only outputting 5.1.

I’ve tried searching the forum but can’t find a solution.Our Samsung Q75T TV currently feeds our Sonos Beam via the HDMI-ARC socket on the TV.  I need to extract the audio from this feed so that I can drive a pair of headphones at the same time as feeding the Beam.  The extraction can either be analogue or digital.  Is there a gadget that I can insert thus ?Samsung Q75T.  > HDMI > gadget > HDMI > BeamTIA 

Hi, I’m trying to get over 2 issues of the lack of AP2 on my existing system.I have the following setup:room 1 - 1 x Play:1room 2 - 1 x Play:1room 3 - 2 x Play:1 (stereo)room 4 - 1 x Connect1) i’m thinking of buying one more (I really didn’t want to have to do this!) Speaker - Sonos 1SL, adding this to the system and grouping this to all the non AP products.Will this allow me to play music from IOS devices? I believe so….but if one device is playing via AP in room 1, will this allow another person to stream via a NAS for instance in room 2?2) will adding this AP device to my system allow you to stream BBC sounds from an IOS device? - due to The BBC falling out with Tunein! thanks for any advice in advance

Hi there. I have two sonos one SL speakers in my kitchen which I have paired and work well. My kitchen is 9m x 3m with the speakers positioned at each end of the room. I am thinking about adding a further speaker to the set up and am wondering whether a Five or a Sub would be the best next speaker to add? Any advice would be appreciated. 

What’s the current position re trade up?For example, as I understand it the unit no longer gets bricked, can continue to be used and can even be sold.If so, what is the downside? i.e. if the discount simply sits there forever and the kit works exactly the same, then why wouldn’t everyone trigger a trade-up for every piece of kit ‘just in case’?Or am I missing something?

I am thinking of replacing a ZP80 which is currently connected to a Yamaha DSP AX763 amp This provides surround sound to 5 wired speakers & Sub, with connections to a  DVD Player and an LG Smart TV with an optical connection.I’ve read on here that the Sonos Port is the replacement, but also read reviews how poor it is in sound quality compared to the Sonos Amp. Questions - are the reports right on the Port?If I replaced the Zp80 with a Port would I still be able to still use all the current connections?Would I be better with the Amp and could it replace the Yamaha ?As you may guess confusion reignsThanks - David
