    Impressive sound and quality as comed to expect from Sonos. Connectivity is an issue, even with an Orbi mesh system. I wish they would also add a Bluetooth feature as they do in the Sonos Move. I use this speaker in my garage so only use it sparingly….but this thing hits!

    I have every Sonos speaker. The Fives are the best for music hands down. I have only used as a stereo pair or individually, but I am a sure they would sound even more incredible if I paired with the Sub. To be honest, I can't even turn them above 50 because the bass is that strong and I live in an apartment. I can't imagine what full volume would sound like. A pair of these is great, but even just one sounds phenomenal as well. They are expensive, but you won't ever regret the purchase based on performance, that's for sure.

    I'm a huge Sonos fan and have many speakers throughout my home. When I moved into my new space I realized that the single One SL in my room felt kind of small for the space so I decided to jump in and get the Five. I have been completely satisfied. I use it in the horizontal orientation and it 100% takes advantage of the added size. I quickly noticed the difference in the warmth of the sound and obviously it filled the room with sound better. And of course it's easy to use through both the Sonos app and Spotify.

    Sonos five sounds exceptionally good. However it is let down by limited connectivity options especially of you are not in the Apple ecosystem or need them to connect to tv for even a rare occasion considering the need to listen to music videos especially when they sound this great.

    I had two sonos 1s and was extremely happy with them. I decided to buy a Sonos 5 for the kitchen to expand music through my downstairs. I plugged this in, set-up was a breeze, and I can’t say enough how happy I am with the sound. It has such a full sound with impressive bass. It’s on our kitchen bow window, so when we’re outside I can open the window and turn the speaker outside and it fills the entire pool area with awesome sound. My only regret is that I should have bought this instead of the two sonos 1s initially.

    Great Speaker for standalone performance. Crisp and clear sound. If you’re trying to set up surround with your Arc Ultra, then Era performs better with its Atmos features. If you want just a punchy and big sound, then Five is awesome. So depending on your need and function, both are great performers

    I have 10 grand worth of Sonos speakers. Everything from the Arc Ultra with a gen 4 sub down to the Era 100. Out of the Five, the Era 300 and the Era 100. The five obviously sounds the best. Then I kind of think the 100 sounds better than the 300. Two 100s definitely sound better that one 300. The five doesn't need a sub imo. The 300 and 100 can use one along with the Arc and Arc Ultra. Once you get 14 of the tied together, they can start to get a little laggy when giving them commands. Even with 2 Gigs up and down internet. I think the most you can have on one Network is around 32.

    I love my speakers they make my whole system sound so much better than just having a sound bar and sub woofer. Great purchase. And setting up the true play I think it’s called really works wonders! Great product. I definitely am interested in 2 more speaker , think I’ll try the other ones they have so I pretty much will have a complete system!

    Of all of the speakers I have, this Sonos Five is my absolute favorite! The sound quality is amazing!! It is easy to set up, and the system figures out what sound settings work best where you set up the speaker, so it is really a simple setup before you are enjoying the quality sound! I now have 4 of these speakers set up around my house and can easily bundle the sound to listen all over, or can pick individual speakers to listen in only one area. Can't say enough good things about Sonos, except that it is a bit pricey. But worth it for me.

    We recently bought two Sonos Five speakers and we could not be more pleased. We put them in our large great room, with its echo friendly accoutics, and they have given us excellent sound. They were easy to set up and easy to operate via the Sonos app. We also bought a Sonos Move speaker and put that in the adjacent kitchen. I really do not understand how it all works, but the three speakers work together give us seamless sound as we walk from one room to the other.

    Sounds great, but I wish the auxiliary input could be used without needing to still be connected to Wifi just to get into the app and tell it I'll be using the input jack. This seems pointless, frustrating, and needs to be changed to be a perfect product.

    Originally got one and it sounded great with most music (electronic music like dubstep wasn’t it’s strongest). A few months later I got a second one and set them up as a stereo pair, just when I thought it couldn’t sound any better it did. If you can get two then definitely go for it, if not then one by itself sounds great. The bass was very present without being muddy or overpowering, clear instruments and vocals and balanced mids and highs.

    Adding a pair of Five’s

    I added another pair of Sonos 5’s to my system. This pair are bookshelf speakers in my office. Adding to an existing system is very easy, even for this boomer. Tuning this pair of 5’s within room is also very easy. The sound quality is outstanding, as expected. I highly recommend every Sonos product that I own: One’s, Five’s and a Portable. The Sonos App is intuitive and very easy to set-up and the relatively new radio features are a welcome addition. Overall, Sonos is an “Apple-like” experience it’s easy and it works.
