Product Description
Product Description
The reason Sonos works so flawlessly all over the house is because we designed a complete multi-room music system from the ground up. From the flexibility of our ZonePlayers to the ubiquity of our Controllers, no other company gets multi-room music like we do. Our system lets you play the same song in every room with perfect synchronicity. Or you can play different songs in different rooms and please everyone in the house.

Genius...Pure Genius!,

This review is from: Sonos Play 5 All-In-One Wireless Music Player With 5 Integrated Speakers (S5, White) (Electronics)
Just got the S5 about an hour ago. Setup couldn't be easier. Step 1 - connect the power cord to an power outlet. Step 2 - hit the Mute and + button to get the S5 added as a new zone, Step 3 - hmmm....I don't think there is one. Just hit play and enjoy pure bliss.
This is my 4th Zone player (see my other gushing review of the Sonos system on the Sonos bundle page), and anytime my wife asks, "how many of these white boxes you really need?", the answer is always "one more". Portability is the key feature of S5. Moving it from Kitchen to backdeck is just a matter of unplugging the power cord and replugging at the new location. It's all in one box. And the sound quality is not bad either. With all 4 zone players on party mode - some connected to very expensive Klipsch towers - I have ran around to compare the sound quality at various locations. The verdict - this little guy stacks up nicely against the big boys. And the iPhone controller is not too shabby either. Don't see the need to buy the new touch controller (CR200). Awesome product. Pure genius. Just get it.

Sonos is a dream come true. The Play:5 is Great,

This review is from: Sonos Play 5 All-In-One Wireless Music Player With 5 Integrated Speakers (S5, White) (Electronics)
SONOS IN GENERALI've been using Sonos since 2009, and it's been flawless, an absolute joy. I've got instant, automatically-updated access to all of my iTunes Tracks, Artists, Playlists and Albums. Sonos also has an excellent implementation of Pandora, Rhapsody (and other music services) and Internet radio. It's such a pleasure to hear them throughout the house and Patio, controlled by my iPhone, and with full broadband quality sound. The flexibility and ease of use are equally impressive. Each zone can play any independent track or other music choice, or be instantly grouped (synchronized) with any number of other zones. Even when zones are synchronized, it's a snap to control (a) the volume of any individual zone within the group or (b) the volume of the entire group while automatically maintaining the relative levels you've previously set. The ability to simultaneously play different tracks in different rooms from a single iTunes library, attached to a single computer, is an impressive technological feat that can not be achieved with a standard Apple AirPlay device. (You can also play music from multiple libraries on one or more computers). Any or all of those zones can be beautifully controlled by a single iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, android or by any number of such controllers. I also have an Apple Airport Express linked to a sonos line-in, so that my friends can stream music to my sonos system, directly from their iPhones/iPads using Apple Airplay. That works well, but sometimes a streaming iPhone will loose its WiFi connection as you move about the house. (Of course, iPhone/Airplay WiFi streaming glitches are not sonos related problems. This is more of an illustration of how a WiFi based streaming system is likely to work in general.) Nonetheless, it's great to have Airplay available for friends. My Sonos system has been absolutely flawless, with a consistent, intuitive interface, and my iPhone, with its Sonos controller app, is always right there in my pocket, ready to go. Setup for all of the Sonos zones has been a snap, and the system has been a total joy from day one. SONOS Play:5 Sounds every bit as good as, or better than my Bose Sound Dock. Looks great. Sets up in seconds, and moves easily between rooms when needed. It can really be cranked up in volume without distortion. Perfect. One requirement to be aware of is that you'll either need to buy a $50 ZoneBridge OR connect this Play:5, OR any other ZonePlayer (ie, a Play:3, Play:5, Sonos-Connect, or Sonos-Connect:Amp) anywhere in your home, directly to your router or LAN with the included ethernet cable. Only one sonos device needs to be hardwired to the router or LAN. If you already have an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Android, there are several advantages in buying a single Play:5 (or Play:3) rather than a Bose SoundDock or other docking speaker. 1) Control From Your Seat: It's an absolute pleasure to have complete control over what you're listening to, right where you are, keeping the iPod or iphone in your hand or pocket. You don't have to stand up to choose any specific track, playlist, artist or radio station, or to see what's playing. And because your iphone is only the controller (you're streaming from your desktop computer hard disk or from the internet, rather than from your iPhone, -- with the airplay exception as noted above) you're not using up valuable iphone battery life or suffering mediocre sound quality, as you would likely be otherwise. Further, your iPhone is still with you for answering phone calls, or using other iphone apps, with no disruption to the music system. 2) Internet Radio: Sonos probably has the worlds best remote control user interface for internet radio. Listen to Pandora, Rhapsody, Sirius, last.fm, Spotify, ALL of your local radio stations (local radio is quick to find, given it's independent menu item. A very nice touch.), or about 100 thousand other internet radio stations, organized by location (country, state, city), or searchable by genre, sub-genre, station name, station number, or radio SHOW name. 3) Upgradability: Add another zone (or multiple additional zones) at any time in the future and you're set with a multizone system. (I should point out that there are, of course, some benefits in going with a single Docking Speaker instead: 1) Cost Savings: 2) Can be used just as easily away from the home.) Final Verdict: I really do love my Play:5 and my entire Sonos system.

As Advertised!,
By Bob (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sonos Play 5 All-In-One Wireless Music Player With 5 Integrated Speakers (S5, White) (Electronics)
I just purchased the s5 with a zone bridge and the CR200. The combination is absolutely amazing. Installation was easy and operation is intuitive. There is plenty out there on how these things work, so I won't go into details on that. But I do have two observations to share: 1) In addition to the s5, I also picked up a NAS drive so that I could stream my 5000+ track mp3 library. After all, streaming my collection with a touch screen remote was one of the main reason I looked at Sonos in the first place. But, after setting Sonos up I decided to give Napster a try. The Napster/Sonos combination gives you access to 8 million tracks on demand. For example, Napster has over 60 Bob Dylan albums, which is pretty much his whole discography. If you want to sample the latest (obscure) music, Napster also has most of the albums Pitchfork reviewed this week--pretty neat. So, despite my deep investment in my personal mp3 collection, it only took me a couple of minutes to realize that it was completely obsolete. Deciding between $5/month for a 8 million track library vs. a $200 NAS for my 5000 track library was a no-brainier. The NAS got packed up and sent back; my mp3s are now strictly for iPod use. 2) As an NPR fan, the other great feature I didn't realize Sonos included is the ability to search and play archived NPR shows. From the Splendid Table to Fresh Air, it is all there on demand--awesome. _____________ Two-year update: This thing is still going strong. We use it everyday to catch up on NPR or listen to the latest releases via Napster. For instance, just yesterday, I read a review of the new Sigur Ros album and 10 seconds after finishing the review, I had the album streaming through my S5 with a few touches of the controller. I also find it extremely useful to be able to listen to non-local radio stations. If we sleep in and want to catch Morning Edition, or get home late and want to catch Marketplace, we just tune into Wyoming Public Radio (we are in Atlanta) and presto. (While the NPR shows are archived, they are usually not accessible until one day after broadcast). Another note is that I have downloaded the Android App, which works very well. The only slight frustration is that it takes my phone a few minutes to ramp up the WiFi connection. Because of this, I still almost exclusively use the CR200 or my laptop to control the music. I'd say the CR200 is worth the expense in order to have a dedicated controller that always works without delay. 2115|R2HUBB49BV29XK;2115|R3HRQQYTH4EW7Z;2115|R39FL4L6KQLEM7;
