Sonos PLAY:3 Wireless Speaker: Fill your home with rich, dynamic sound with Sonos Play:3, a speaker that's versatile enough to put just about anywhere. Position it horizontally or vertically for a perfect fit in tight spots around your home like on bookshelves or a nightstand.
Q: Would you recommend 2 Sonos Play 1 speakers for stereo effect over a single Play 3
A: We were originally planning on the Sonos 1. After listening in the store, the sound quality of the 3 is MUCH superior. Sonos 3 is "rich", wheras the Sonos 1 sounds "tinny" by comparison. If you're going to take the plunge with Sonos, I'd recommend the 3 series. Paired in stereo, they are superb, and even individually, they're excellent.
A: All you need is to buy a $40 bridge, plug that into your router and you can add 20 speakers if you like. they all communicate via wi fi like your laptop, tablet or phone.
A: Yes, you can. I have a play1 and play3. You can play different songs/stations/apps on each speaker or you can group them together to play the same thing. You can also adjust the volume of each speaker separately from your phone.
Q: Will this work on your TV? Like movies or Pandora?
A: No, the Play 5 2nd gen has a 3mm plug but the Play 3 and Play 1 only work via Wifi with the Sonos app or Spotify if you have a premium account.
Q: What if you want to play a cd?
A: What is a CD? Haha, I'm an old guy, and cut my teeth on vinyl, so I do know what you mean. My CD's have largely been loaded on my iPad, and the Sonos can access my music using the app. To use a CD player, you'd have to buy a Sonos Connect($349) and use that as your CD player's wifi-portal to the Sonos network.
Q: Sonos 3 Compatibility with Samsung Sound Bar
A: It would not be "compatible" out of the box. I would assume you are looking to extend your home theater system with a couple of Play:3s. To use another sound system, including a non-Sonos soundbar, with a Sonos speaker you would need a Connect:AMP to connect to your existing system. The Play:3 is not intended to be an extension of your Samsung home theater device, but rather a component of your larger Sonos network of speakers.
Q: Do you need to purchase a bridge?
A: No, you can use your existing wi-fi network, if you have one. But a Sonos Bridge will create a dedicated, robust wi-fi network for your sound system. I'd recommend purchasing a bridge, it allows a super easy way to expand your speaker system with clear sound always.
A: Cord is 6’6” (approx). Attaches to bottom right of back or bottom left depending on orientation (see picture)
