Customers are saying
Customers commend the Five high-fidelity Wireless Speaker for its unparalleled sound quality, ease of use, and impressive bass. The setup process is quick, and the speaker maintains quality sound at different volume levels, all within a sleek design and convenient size. However, some customers express concerns about connectivity limitations, as it lacks Bluetooth. Others mention the price point, compatibility issues with certain platforms, and the need for improvements to the app and the addition of a microphone for voice commands.

Unreliable connection between phone and speaker
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We had a Sonos Play 3 for years. It would have a hard time with wireless and would occasionally have to be plugged into Ethernet to get the IP addressing figured out. That is, my cellphone would occasionally not be able to connect to the speaker. I was thoroughly disappointed that Sonos hadn't improved the connection setup and reliability with the Sonos Five. I could not get the unit to setup through the phone despite my phone and Sonos being on the same WiFi network. I tried all of the suggested fixes and could not establish a reliable connection. I ended up returning the unit. A little more detail, I checked all of my router settings and they were fine (I have over 30 other wireless products on my WiFi network that all work fine). I have no firewall settings that would block anything and all of the major multicast discovery protocols are enabled on my network. As a test, I placed my laptop where my speaker would go to measure WiFi performance and signal strength and WiFi worked very well (300+ Mbps down and 50+ Mbps up). I will say if you are lucky enough to have a wired Ethernet port where you place your speaker, use it. It might work better. My comment is directed at Sonos engineering: improve your connection setup, management and stability.

Misleading Ad
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is a 7 out of 10. I will say that the ad is definitely misleading. The ad reads/says "Sonos - Five Wireless Smart Speakers". I bought it thinking i was getting 5 smaller Sonos speakers but it is only a single speaker system. I used the Sonos 5 system for about 10 days then returned it. It would have been a great deal if it were 5 speakers instead of just the one speaker.

Decent speakers
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've always been a Sonos person and have brought the brand speakers for the house. Needed something to put on the rear lanai and opted for this speaker. The quality of the materials are really good but the sound quality is lacking. My much smaller Sonos ONE sounds better than the FIVE.

Best way to play vinyl with Sonos
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The speaker came quickly as expected. I got it to play with a record player. Setup was fairly seedless. I am glad to be able to play vinyl with the power of Sonos

Great sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to use works well with my apps. Was confusing to run app through Sonos it wouldn’t work and I didn’t get error message. Eventually I figured out had had to sign out of music app before it could be controlled through Sonos

A bit pricey but worth it———
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Exactly what I was looking for- I wanted a WiFi connected speaker which I could connect a turntable and integrate it into my Sonos system - A bit pricey but it is worth it

no much of an upgrade over 2nd Gen
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a couple of 2nd Gen Play:5's that I have enjoyed for years. One of them has a failed wifi card after about 5 years of ownership. I purchase this Gen 3 to replace the Gen 2 Play:5 in a stereo pair. Unfortunately you cannot create a stereo pair with two different gens.

Do not buy!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality is great, when they work. These are literally the worst electronic devices I’ve ever purchased. I outfitted my house with Sonos, spending quite a bit based on the sound and reputation for quality. I learned they were having issues with their app and I as patient while they figured it out. Nearly a year later, using these speakers is a daily struggle. I’m tempted to drop them off at Goodwill, but I’d hate to burden the buyer with the headache.
