Customer Ratings & Reviews

Beautiful sound from the Five. I was glad that this speaker gets really loud and the bass is so nice and doesn’t reverb so it’s a good clean bass sound. I paired it with 2 ones SL and my bedroom is a music haven now. Would definitely recommend this speaker if you’re looking for high quality sound on a stationary speaker for home use.

The Sonos Five has completely changed how I listen to records at home. Running a stereo pair connected to my turntable, the soundstage is wide, immersive, and incredibly detailed — deep bass, clear mids, and crisp highs that do justice to vinyl. Trueplay tuning dials everything in perfectly, and together they fill the room effortlessly at any volume. Worth every penny

My only gripe w/ the 5 (and most of Sonos products) are price and lack of Bluetooth. Otherwise the 5 the choice of sound for me!!! If you can these on sale it's a go!!! What you get w/ the stereo pair of ones...you get w/ the 5 and some bass. The bass alone is impressive. It's very loud too...it can fill up a house at 50% volume. The stereo pair of 5s are ok, it just guarantees to fill up the whole house w/ sound. But, a easier way to decide which route to go is for me to say again...A stereo pair of ones equal a 5 alone

It's pricey but the sound has been excellent. Especially when pairing them in stereo. The bass and treadle sounds great. I'm sure it would be even amazing with a sub too. I originally bought for surround speakers but thought it was overkill for my small room.

An excellent speaker. Feels, looks, and sounds great! The base sound is robust and it is so easy to set up. Works great with Audio -Technica turntable thanks to the line-in port. Pricey but worth it in my opinion.

is very well built and sounds terrific with superb bass. The best wireless speaker in market now. Really easy to use, the app is intuitive enough to set up in minutes

Loved the SONOS Five and really appreciate the fact that the Best Buy sales person said I could try it out and return it if not satisfied. I did truly love the SONOS Five, but found that I could purchase a couple of One SL's and place them in the house easier due to the size of the Five. I had thought about using 2 SONOS Five's as back speakers with my Arc and Sub, but was talked into to SL Ones which was a wise choice. I purchased more SL Ones for the home, but wanted to know how the Five would do in comparison, hence the sales person telling me to buy it and return it if I wasn't happy. Like I said, I was VERY happy with it, but due to the size and cost I opted to buy more One SL's to spread over the house as the Five is pretty big and much harder to locate in a bedroom. It did sound better, especially the bass, but the adjustments with the equalizer function on the One SL's made it acceptable. So I returned the Five and now have a total of 6 One SL's, a Move, an Arc and a subwoofer providing outstanding music sounds throughout the house.

Bought a stereo pair and love the sound! Big upgrade from a stereo pair of ERA 100s.

I have many Sonos speakers and started purchasing them gen 1. The Five is my favorite by far with incredibly rich sound. The addition of airplay makes use seamless and easy enough for the whole family to control including my children 7 and 10. I will be purchasing another to add to our home when I am able to.

The Sonos Five is their top of the line speaker. Whats better than a single speaker? A pair. The stereo pair is amazing, but is also fine as a single speaker. Sound is different for everyone. You may not appreciate the five as much as say the new Era 300 depnding on your ears and music preferences. Or you may hot even be able to hear the difference. I have both, in pairs. To me, the difference is like comparing where you are hearing the music. The Five sounds like music in a theatre with wood and stone. The Era 300 sounds like music in a cafe with glass and maybe marble. They're both amzing but the spatial audio of the 300s really give the five a run for its money. For the lows, bass, I would say the Five wins. As with most things Sonos, you have to have the volume turned up to 45-50 to say now thats a good speaker. Of course anything over 60 your neighbor might be knocking on the wall if you happen to share a wall. The five is older tech, no doubt, so no bluetooth audio. The Sonos app is getting better with age but some services like Youtube Music is still a bit painful to find what you are wanting to hear. Other music services each have pluses and minuses while accessed via Sonos controller. HD music or lossless sounds amazing on either model. The reason i now have a pair of Sonos Fives is because i have opted to use the Era 300s as surrounds with the Arc sound bar on the tv. What you dont discover til after purchase is that once in this setup, the bluetooth direct stream from device is now inoperable. And using the 300s as a stero pair is also no longer an option unless you ungroup your surround setup and reconfigure back to a pair. Not impossible but time consuming whenever you want to play music the old fashion way in stero. So Sonos got more money from me just because of my need for simplicity. Could you save money and just do a couple Era 300s and be satified with your purchase? Absolutely. The Fives might be more appealing with their square appearance and 3.5mm aux input. Are other speakers better than Sonos? Yes. It's more about the ecosystem. Once you buy into it, you just keep expanding.

What can i saw, they sound amazing. I did run into the error on it not finding the speaker, but was able to figure it out with ease. I use a android phone, amd people would saw to exit tue app and go back in for it to pick up the speaker.... well i noti ed even when i closed the app, the sonos app would still be in the upper LEFT of my phone like i was playing music. I rebooted my phone, and it did pickup the new speaker. Glad i figured this out as a lot of people seem to run into issues when they connect to five speakers for their surround sound. I currectly have the ark, 2 fives, Gen 3 sub. It literally sounds like im in a movie theater. My only complaint is this system is insanely expensive for the whole setup.

I purchased the Sonos 5 in white. The set up is very easy to follow (very Apple-esque) and I like that it automatically registered my speaker. This speaker fills up my living room area. The sound quality is great for this product, but not as great as a two stereo set up of high end speakers which run up of $2k-$3k or more. But, for $500 this speaker provides great sound quality and works with my pandora, amazon music, and iheartradio apps to play whatever music I am feeling. Plus it has an outlet so you can plug in for playing form another device and you can even feed in a record player if you get an adaptor for the input into the Sonos 5. Pleased with my purchase.

This Speaker From Sonos Is Truly Awesome. It Distributes Amazing Sound Which Can Leave You Breathless ... I Truly Mean It !!! It Does Wonders For Your Home. I Like The Fact That Sonos Gives You Options To Choose From. It Comes In Two Colors Black Or White To Suit Your Needs In Your Home Decor. Highly Recommend 10/10 !!!

I wish I would have purchased the Sonos Five years ago! I've had several Sonos Play 1's throughout my home for at least 5 years now and I use them all the time. I always wished the Play 1's had more bass or more robust sound, but was always hesitant to buy a Sonos Five due to the cost. I finally decided to take the plunge and purchase one and I am extremely glad I did and as I said earlier, I wish I would have done it years ago. I have a Sonos Five and 2 Play 1's in a very large room and you can definitely tell when the Sonos Five is not turned on. I played several different songs and would turn the Five off and on and you can definitely tell how much extra sound the Five adds.

I have an old cassette deck that I like to use on occasion. I didn’t have a way to use it after I sold my receiver and surround system. I am pretty deep into the Sonos ecosystem, so it was a no brainer for me to add this speaker. The sound is full and rich. It works great outside as well to supplement the Sonos One’s I have on my back porch. Helps to fill the rest of the yard in nicely.

I'm all in on Sonos as a system throughout my house. I added the Sonos 5 to connect to a turntable and needed to have a Sonos speaker with a line in. This was the only one. The speaker is physically smaller than I thought it would be from the pictures, but it sounds fantastic. Other than a Sonos Playbase, this is the largest Sonos that I have and it had more bass than I thought it would - even before adjusting the EQ in the app. If you have other Sonos speakers and are looking to add another one, the Sonos Five will not disappoint. I highly recommend it.

I must give it right. You can turn this speaker up all the way to 100 and it will reproduce the sound exactly as it was meant to be enjoyed. Bass, piano, treble, saxophone and instrumentals all sound crystal clear and precise. I even tested it to my standards with some of my high bass songs from the artists I love. The Sonos Five basically said 'nice try', next time give me a challenge. I mean I was amazed that the bass reproduction boomed and didn't even sound rattled. This speaker is the real deal!

Incredible sound especially paired with a second Sonos Five speaker. I also added a Sub Gen 4 and it sounds amazing and is by far my favorite sounding Sonos speaker that I have. No issues with connectivity or any other issues. Would highly recommend.

Really great speaker that fills the while room with quality sound. Cannot independently connect to iPhone though.

The sound is astonishing for a variety of music. Vocal music is crisp and clear at all volumes. I am going to buy a second pair.
