    Sonos Play:1 Compact Wireless Speaker for Streaming Music. Works with Alexa. (Black)

    • But the software is soooooooo painful
    • My only complaint is their software
    • The speaker is adequate, but the system is incredibly frustrating and cannot find my music library, cannot do this or that--crappy software...who is posting all these 5.0 reviews??
    • The software is a nightmare and the system freezes and is inoperable on a daily basis.
    • REALLY inadequate software
    • Awesome sound, excellent software (which gets regular updates), rock solid wi-fi connection, quality connection, helpful website.
    • Don't buy this awful system that forces you into using their awful, awful, AWFUL software.
    • The idea is great and the software is great however the sound quality is not great at
    • Problem is that software to transfer music is problematic.
    • BUTIt was a constant headache with the buggy software.
    • The new software is horrible, and the customer service is worse.
    • Great speaker but needs to update software to work 100% with
    • The hardware is superior and the software USED to be until the new release of the 6.4 controllers (apps)
    • The idea of this system is nice, and it's nice that the speakers act somewhat independently of a computer, but when you're trying to stream from the Sonos servers, the poor software engineering gets in the way.
    • It's incredible that after several years on the market they haven't arrived at a more robust software
    • The software never worked well
    • Their software is cumbersome, especially if you're just used to playing anything and everything you want using Airplay Mirroring on your iOS devices.
    • So much potential but software fails.
    • Software is horrible
    • Extremely restrictive and obtrusive software
    • Great software
    • The software is intuitive and the speaker sounds great.
    • If seems like the software has updated 1000 times in the years i have owned the system
    • It sounds great but the software is terrible.
    • Sonos had the worst software in modern day app
    • It is pricey and probably overkill for a single room, but once you start adding speakers to other rooms, and integrate with a media server, you see the benefit of Sonos's software
    • Terrible coders; Sony should know better than to write such incompetent software
    • The software is awesome.
    • It’s a Sonos, sounds great, looks nice and has amazing software
    • Top quality sound and software
    • The software is fine - originally, I disliked
    • Sonos keeps the software fresh.
    • These little Play 1’s pack a punch with high quality sound and simple setup.
    • Since then my speakers (1 play 5, 2 play 3’s, and 4 play 1’s) have been hit and miss
    • It doens’t support AirPlay and there are no plans to add support for it.
    • n’t see that it’s improved in any way (and it’s very buggy)
    • If you are sitting at your computer fooling around online and your favorite song just doesn't sound quite as crisp as you would like it to, or if you have a $200 budget to fill 1 room in your house with sound, keep looking, your speaker is out there somewhere ;-)I hope this helps, Cheers!
    • Although Sonos advertising their product works with Alexsa, Alexsa does not want to work with Sonos as of today December 2017
    • In short, if you’re willing to put in the time regularly to get this system working as it’s supposed to, are okay with very few customization options and don’t need to share the system with anyone else in your household, you may be perfectly happy using Sonos
    • Old classic rock, R&B, Jazz and Gospel, sound as if you were at a live performance
