Wondrous,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sonos CR200 Wireless control of your Sonos Multi-Room Music System (Electronics)
Been using my CR200 for about 3 weeks and it has been a joy.
Compared to the original CR100 (which itself seemed fabulous when first received) the CR200 is from a different planet. It's much smaller, lighter, and the screen is bigger and brighter. I am not sure I would pay to upgrade for those benefits alone however. The real advance is in the search functionality. Gone is the ipod style scroll-wheel with the tedious onscreen keyboard and in is a full touch sensitive on screen keyboard. Once you get used to it (it takes a little practice) the difference is night and day. If you have a large music collection, or especially if you use Napster or Rhapsody, searching using the CR200 is a joyous experience. Not only is the input vastly quicker now that you can type, but the search itself is predictive such that when you type "depe", for example, Depeche Mode will already be on screen vying for your attention with DePedro. The combination of vastly faster typing combined with the improved search makes the search experience on the old CR100 feel like wading through cement in comparison. Rhapsody plus the CR200 really is a wondrous thing, it really makes searching for music a joyful experience. I frequently have to stop myself squealing with delight. So, if the CR200 vs. CR100 = a no brainer, how about vs. an iPod touch or iPhone? My experience using the Ipod application is limited to about 5 minutes. My reasons for preferring the CR200 were twofold: 1. I really value the speed of the search experience - having to wake up my iPod, load the app etc was a trifle unappealing. Furthermore, I have a big house with lots of sonos players in far flung corners (like the basement) and I really wanted my remote to work on the Sonos Mesh as opposed to wifi (which the iPod uses). These are perhaps not big reasons, and if you already have a suitable touch or iPhone it may well not be worth the upgrade. As irrational as it may be though, I just wanted a device built from the ground up for Sonos rather than an apple product I could dumb down to do (almost) as good a job.

Too expensive to buy as a stand alone product.,

This review is from: Sonos CR200 Wireless control of your Sonos Multi-Room Music System (Electronics)
As the owner of 4 S5's and 3 zoneplayers and a zonebridge I am very familar with Sonos products and the system itself. If you are new to Sonos and are looking to get into the system then the Sonos bundle is the way to go because you save money and it comes with a CR200 which is a very capable remote for the Sonos system. But if you are looking to buy some S5's or you somehow pieced your Sonos system together like myself then buying the CR200 stand alone is just not a good value for the dollar. You could spend 229 dollars on a 8gb Ipod touch and have all the functionality of the CR200 and then some. And what is confusing is the application for the Ipad is actually the best remote for the system hands down. If you are going to spend 350 dollars for the CR200 you actually come out better if you just spend a hundred dollars more and get an Ipad. Now here is why I think the Ipod is a better controller. Not only will it do everything the CR200 will do it is also an Ipod which means it does so many other things for you. Example. I have my Sonos and I pay the yearly subscription to Napster. I download the Napster app on my Ipod touch and I can save albums off line. So now I go to a party at the beach or the park and I bring my S5 and my Ipod touch. I basically have access to my Music through my Napster app and my remote on the same device. And I saved over a hundred dollars. Unless Sonos comes up with some functionality that only the remote has that would be strong enough to justify the extra 130 dollars it just doesnt make sense to by the CR200 as a stand alone product. And if you already have a Ipod touch or an Iphone you just saved 350 dollars. And right now you can go on Apple.com and get a refurished old generation Ipod touch for 149.00 dollars. Something to think about.

System is Great!! Controller not needed.,
This review is from: Sonos CR200 Wireless control of your Sonos Multi-Room Music System (Electronics)
I bought the Sonos and it works great and is extremely easy to set up. The controller is not needed though, if you have an iTouch, iPhone or iPad. The app is free. Save yourself the $350 and put it towards an iPad. I LOVE my Sonos system though. I have music all through my house now and it is so cool and easy to use.
