Sonos - Play:5 Wireless Speaker - Black Matte

Sonos makes the at home listening experience very easy and efficient while providing great sound quality. I happen to have their other products but recently splurged on this Play:5 to connect to my AudioTechnica turntable First the sound. This speaker has an array of 6 drivers that provide a great sound stage when listening to your music. I have heard that stereo pairing two of these Play:5s takes it to another level, but that will happen on day with more saving! I have a large open living area and this speaker completely fills out the entire space with fantastic sound that will always get compliments at parties The design of the speaker is modern, sleek, and very appealing in the home. Switching from streaming audio over to my line-in input for records is very easy with the autoplay feature I grew up in an audiophile home and this speaker is certainly a fantastic quality product and incredibly user friendly and easy to use. High recommended to anyone!

I’m not sure of a better overall speaker/software combo than this speaker. It just amazes me every time I listen to it, this was a 2nd play 5 purchase, it’s that good.

What can I say. I love these speakers. I never thought anything could compete with my Kef speakers. I was wrong. I love my sonos play 5 speakers

Wow!!! WhT else is there to say. I had to rush back and grab another. Now they accompany the Playbar for a very large music and theater experience!!!

The Play:5 was my first SONOS purchase. Since buying the first one, I've added a second Play:5 and also a SONOS Connect, so my Sony 5.1 home theater system could get into the act. While the individual pieces are expensive, the product is truly premium. The Play:5's sound great. i have mine on opposite ends of the house (2,700 sq ft), with my home theater in the central, great room. Even with only 1 speaker in a room, the Play:5's do a great job simulating stereo sound. Music is sounds full, with good bass and clear highs. Walking through the house, I've even found myself thinking my Sony system sounds a little "tinny" in comparison. The App is solid, though not perfect. The "group" function also me to play the same music in multiple rooms, and I love that I can change volume in each room individually, on the fly. However, I wish SONOS would take it a step further - Let me build different preset groups with specific volumes for different situations. If i'm cleaning my house, i want all speakers playing pretty loud. If the baby is napping, i probably want those speakers turned way down or off completely. The ability to do that without breaking and rebuild my group every time would be a game changer, all over again. I do like the new integration with Spotify's app, though i generally go through the SONOS app to stream from Spotify, so I can use the volume adjustments. I only have 2 gripes about the system so far: One, the system seems to lose connection to WiFi pretty often. Sometimes I can't connect to my speakers to start (or stop) music. Be warned if you have spotty internet connection: if the 'net goes down, your SONOS speakers are well designed paper weights. The second gripe is the 3.5mm headphone jack on the back of the Play:5. When my internet went down, i thought - "at least i can still plug my iPhone in and play music in one room." Nope. I tried everything. My phone would stream music just fine, but plug it into the Play:5, and there was no sound. I haven't proven it yet, but I think the Play:5 requires an internet connection to play music, even when using the 3.5mm jack. Those two gripes aside, I will be buying more. I would recommend SONOS to any friend with a solid (non-metered) internet connection.

This speaker has to be the best speaker at this size you can buy. At times you would literally think there was a sub in the room. I cannot say enough about the overall sound of this speaker. If you are on the fence about getting this or spending the amount, don't be, trust me!!

I have been listening to play 5 excellent music reproduction for a week now. I was not hoping anywhere near to this good, The vocals are absolutely clear and bass is astonishingly tight & powerful. I have 5.1 Martin Logan + Marantz setup and comparing play 5 to that would be foolish. But, I find myself listening to play 5 more often these days out of amazement.

I guess I was reading a lot of good reviews about this speaker so there was a hype for it. They had some bass but not as much as the Sonos subwoofer. Overall, much better than the Play 1s.
