So for now I have an expensive speaker system that cuts out during movies and left feeling like the only way to resolve this issue is by hard wiring them which defeats the purpose of this purchase

I wanted to get rid of my giant ancient speakers and their ugly wires and started reading up on what to buy

Great sound and no wires.

Perhaps if they are hard wired they work better.

My previous house was hard wired for speakers in every room

Music throughout the house without expensive wiring

If you can install hard wiring for a home stereo system, then I recommend you do so rather than chooosing Sonos.

I would recommend it if you can afford it, you aren't looking for audiophile ego strokes, you want to scrap the wires, and if you have a TV that passes the full 5.1 through the optical port.

or I would just hard wire speakers.

Complex wiring followed, pointing speakers, pulling hair and then horrible sound.

Don’t bother unless you are only hard wiring one system into Ethernet and you are in a radio silence zone with no other 2.4gHz nearby

After multiple attempts (from laptop and mobile) including direct, hard-wire connection to my router, I gave up.

If you do not like wires exposed

They are a tad expensive, but consider the other way of installing whole home sound.. and hard wiring speakers in the ceiling and adding a amp and receiver etc.

Great sound that is similar to my classic Bose wired floor speakers

Easy to connect, no wires.

Old classic rock, R&B, Jazz and Gospel, sound as if you were at a live performance
