No love for Play 3

As an owner of two Play 3's should I be worried Sonos software will not support them in the near future. I see everybody is replacing the 3's for 1's or One's. I absolutely love the sound they produce and I think it would be a step back if I replace them with the smaller speaker.

What do you think?

Why would the software not continue to support them? Sonos still support as many products as they can, even from many years ago. If you prefer them, keep them.

Every Sonos Speaker and Connect unit is still supported back from when the company started. There is a controller and ipod dock that have been dropped but I don't see them doing that with the core speaker products.

I don't think they will drop support for the Play:3 (I hope not anyway as I have x3 of them). I'm surprised they haven't created a new 'Sonos Three' to go in between the Sonos One and Play:5

That's good news.

Thank you

That is the reason I started to think they will discontinue the Play 3. And why so many people are selling theirs, I don't know. Back in 2014. I liked the Play 3 the most. It gave me the best performace for the price.

They discontinued the Play:3 a while ago, if by that you mean stop manufacturing/selling. They also discontinued the Play:5 Gen 1 when they updated it with the Gen 2. They are all still supported though.
Sonos would have to abandon the following:

ZP80 (2005)
ZP100 (2005)
ZP90/Connect (2008)
ZP120/Connect:Amp (2008)
S5/Play:5 Gen 1 (2009)

Before abandoning the Play:3 (2011). You can rest easy for a while.
What about the Sonos One gen 1?

Came after the Play:3, so it's irrelevant. 😋
Oh, sure, bring back the logic aspect.... 🙂
