Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this as a test speaker before buying another, and was very pleased. For the size, the bass is deep and smooth. The highs are crisp and clean. Setup was a breeze. I highly recommend the Sonos PLAY5 and I am pretty sure you won't be disappointed.

Excellent quality of sound and craftship along with easiness of setup

These Sonos 5 speakers are a joy to listen to. You can crank them to impressive sonic levels with minimal distortion and they’re very powerful with a big, satisfying, full range frequency response. The downloadable attending app allows the user to literally adapt the speakers to each unique room acoustical environment. Giles Martin, son of the late George Martin of Beatles fame has created masterful speaker systems and the 5’s are well worth their relatively modest investment. Best Buy expeprts in the back of the store are among the most expert sound pros anywhere.

There is no doubt that the Sonos family of speakers is one of the best around. At least, any doubt was removed for me as soon as I ran it through it’s paces. Deep, clear bass, amazing separation for distinct voices throughout the range of frequencies, and all in a single unit. I’ll probably get two for true stereo (I hear they become irresistible once you’re in for it). Fair warning: the setup process requires persistent Wi-Fi. You can't set it up on a guest network, either (so good luck bringing it to a hotel without a Wi-Fi hotspot or router in tow). There is no plug-and-play (even using the 1/8" line in, you still need to set the thing up on Wi-Fi before it will play) or Bluetooth capabilities. This unit is for a persistent home audio environment. Once I did get it going in that hotel room – a fantastic time was enjoyed by all.

I use two of these as rear speakers for my TV setup, which is great. They really perform when you play music from the Sonos App. Super easy to setup the room for optimal sound performance

The sound from Sonos Five is full sound without taking up much space. Very easy to move around if needed.

I just picked this speaker up so admittedly, I have not completely put it through all of it's paces yet. That said, the sound quality is absolutely amazing. I have multiple Sonos speakers (several Playbars, and One speakers). I can say without question that the sound from this Five beats them all. It sounds simply incredible. The setup was simple as expected and I used the app to add it to my system and update it's firmware (automatically). Piece of cake. So why only four stars? Because I still can't get over that in 2020 they still don't include Bluetooth or voice assistant (Alexa, Google). Admittedly I knew that going in and purchased this because of the better sound. But make no mistake, this is a definite limitation. It's not about wanting these features to be lazy, it's that it makes the speaker incompatible (or difficult to use at best) with a lot of devices. And if Wifi ever goes out, your done. Would I buy another, absolutely. But Sonos really needs to up it's game here in the feature department to get 5 stars in my opinion.

Great sound qualitiy! The bass kicks hard. I like how you can stand it up in a corner.

I ordered the Sonos Arc at Bestbuy ad it took 3 weeks to arrive. I was so impressed with the performance of the Arc that I decided to purchase the best surround speaker to hook up with the arc. It took me almost a grand but men, I tell you, it’s worth it. The build is solid and the music production is off the charts. The quality of music produced was crispy clear, solid and pure. Because of Covid - 19, I work from home so I figured I might as well make it a fun and lovely place to be in. Pls these speakers with the sub and the arc and you will get to be a believer in Sonos 5. I have the Sonos ones for the rooms, but the fives are the big brothers. I love the Sonos fives and will recommend them to Emanuel one that wants to enjoy crisp music.

Stellar sound, powerful addition to any SONOS system, AUX jack is the selling point but you won't be disappointed by this solid speaker, very sleek design as well.

Amazing speaker! We have three in total. One stand alone, the other two work as background in main game/tv room. Incredible sound quality, and decent bass.

Great sound. Looks great in the room. Crystal clear sound

Just WOW! This is by far the greatest listening experience from a speaker that I have had. Great job Sonos!

The Sonos five wireless smart speaker is awesome. I also have the soundbar. Easy install, easy to use. It never drops signal ever. I would recommend this to friends and family and to those that read this review.

Awesome Speaker, a few years old now, but still a great speaker. Hard to beat

I already had one of these and for music, it sounded like there was a car driving past my house with a sub in it, but it was actually this speaker! Super loud and full range from highs to lows. I bought a 2nd one to set them up together as rear surround and it still sounds amazing, but I think they work better as a stereo set than a surround pair because during surround, only ambient background noises are decoded to come through the rears. Still sounds amazing, but probably overkill as a surround pair lol. Better to use as a single speaker or stereo pair

Amazingly easy to set up with no difficulty. Really fantastic immersive sound with just one speaker, sound is great even in different areas in the room.

Great sound. Very easy to use through airplay. Great for get togethers

Absolutely spectacular speaker for its size. I am absolutely amazed how much bass a speaker this size can produce. Room filling sound, clear vocals, and crisp highs. I consider myself an audiophile and think SONOS really did a good job on this third generation 5.

Great speaker! I'm glad i made the upgrade from the Sonos One to the Five. The bass, treble and sound clarity is unmatched. Don't sleep on this speaker.
