Customer Ratings & Reviews

Upgraded my home multispeakers from Amazon Echos throughout my house to this and the Sonos One. I have one Five and two Ones and they sound great. Dynamic sound everywhere and wherever I am throughout my home. You'll need more if you want the same experience but one is enough for a bedroom.

This speaker is awesome. I got the Sonos App to manage the system. The app works great, the whole thing was seamless beginning to end. The set up does not take long, and you can source music from various providers all from within the app. I really enjoy the quality sound of this speaker. I highly recommend it.

This is an amazing speaker. It fills the whole house with fantastic sound and range. Was able to hook my turntable directly to the speaker. No need for a port or amp, the turntable has a preamp already. Plus I can play my tv through the Beam and 5.

A great speaker for music. The only negative is that the speaker must be connected to wifi at all times for it to work.

I love Sonos. I have the old play 5 and decided to get this new sonos 5. It sounds much better than the old one. However, just be aware that you can not use the old play5 to pair with the new sonos5.

I know these are challenging and trying times but there is something about the sweet sound of music that feels the voids created by this lifes event. The Sonos Five just seems to make the music sound even sweeter. Thanks Sonos you did it again..

The Sonos 5 is a great sounding speaker, very clear and crisp sound with a balance of bass. While more on the expensive side for sound, the wireless Sonos system is great. All speakers tie together over WiFi with one device, such as a cell phone. Makes the speakers easy to move around the house.

Great speaker. Sound quality is impressive. Very comparable to Bose. Only gripe I have is that you can’t use Bluetooth but you can work around it. Only reason I returned was because it didn’t work with what I already had setup. Definitely will re buy once I can afford too.

I consider myself a bit of an audiophile, and I think this speaker is marginally high-fidelity sound. But the speaker makes up for its audio shortcomings by offering technology simply not yet available with other true high-fidelity speakers. I love that you can modify the bass and treble in its EQ setting, as well as use it through airplay 2 (you will need wifi for this). The price is a bit steep, but in line with other brand names. The sonos five DOES NOT offer bluetooth technology.

I own several Sonos speakers and this is by far the best sounding one for playing music. I also like that there’s an option to connect a turntable. I guess that will be my next purchase.

The Sonos home theater sound system is a great investment. Just buy and have the Geeksquad install it . I enjoy watching live concerts on U Tube. It’s a outstanding sound system that delivers every musical note . Stay home and party !!!

It’s a great sounding speaker & I desperately wanted it to work, but my specific use case for this speaker made it impractical for me to use and I ultimately returned it. I wanted a Sonos speaker with a Line In capability and (wrongly) assumed that the line in would be latency free - like literally every line in I’ve ever used, but that isn’t the way it works on Sonos speakers. Instead, the line in on this speaker is an input that can be used as an input across your existing Sonos ecosystem, but that cool party trick comes with an unavoidable delay. You can tune the delay down to minimize it, but my use case was to use this as a speaker for a digital piano where the key press needs to instantly be reproduced by the speaker - and even with the smallest delay, it felt - and sounded - unnatural. Great sounding speaker if you don’t care about a line in delay and already are bought into the Sonos ecosystem.

Very easy install to existing SONOS system. Speaker is being used as a stand alone (not paired) in office. While sound is good, I was expecting a bit more from this. I also have a pair of SONOS 1’s (sound is great) and a stand alone SONOS 3. The Sonos 5 is better than the SONOS 3, but not by a great margin. If the decision is a stand alone 5 vs a pair of 1’s, I would strongly recommend the 1’s.

Sonos provides superior quality in construction, sound and wifi with The Five. Looking forward to connecting the Audio Technica Turntable to the six speakers in The Five with a 3.5 aux connection. We are a Sonos Household!

Great sounding speaker and great wifi speaker setup. Can use with Sonos app or via airplay, both have pros and cons. I end up using airplay from Apple Music so I can control music from my Apple Watch. This is my 2nd Five as part of a larger Sonos ecosystem - great sounding whole house setup.

Sonos has amazing products- the Five is not exception!! This is the 10th Sonos product I have purchased. Word of caution-with this kind of sound quality, Sonos can easily become an expensive and rewarding habit :-)

Bought 2 and set up in stereo mode in our living room. Initial sound ws just ok but I decided they were too close together (maybe 12'). Increased the spacing to about 20' and the sound quality was greatly enhanced. Happy with this purchase!

i cant wait to buy more of them for the rest of my house

Great sound, but you really gotta want to be all in with Sonos. I wasn't all in, but since I've bought so much Sonos, now I'm going all in. It's expensive to do. The app is sketchy too - if you just use one device to control the system (I have about 8 speakers), then it's great. But if each member in the family wants to control things at different times, it is a pain in the ......

Sonos products are hands down Top Notch. Currently own 2 sonos ones and now the five. The app is easy to navigate and set up is a breeze. Highly recommend to those who enjoy music as it was intended to be heard !! Thank you Sonos
