    Sonos Play:3 Mid-Sized Wireless Smart Speaker for Streaming Music. Works with Alexa. (White)

    • The app is well laid out with many great features
    • Love that Sonos has apps that allow you use your phone or any other wireless device to tap into the song menu
    • I downloaded the free Sonos Android app, and now I can control the music selection and volume from anywhere.
    • Amazing app and sound
    • Just a spectacular sounding speaker with a nice app interface.
    • The app is easy to use and you can connect 50+ streaming services and have them playable with the tap on your mouse or just by touching the screen
    • Sounds fantastic, more drivers than the equivalent Bose system, ability to turn it on its side, seamless Sonos app, etc
    • I've heard other people say you can't play YouTube videos or Netflix or anything like that because everything has to be shoehorned through their clumsy app
    • For example, the app doesn’t support Audible
    • It uses a proprietary app the rarely works with iTunes
    • Easy setup great apps.
    • The sound is superb, but the bass is a bit heavy (easily remedied, as to not tick off the folks in my building).The app works great, which really surprised me
    • If given the choice between two speakers, both with the same audio quality, but one allows use of any app, doesn't force you to use its bad app, allows AUX and Bluetooth connectivity and has a battery, which would you choose?- Control command lags: because the music plays through the Sonos app, there is a lag between when you change volume or change songs or turn off the music and when the action occurs in the speaker
    • Awesome audio with a great full featured app
    • Has promise - speakers sound pretty good and can be tuned to room with app (if you leave them in the same place in the room),But there are a several things that keep me from recommending it:The app is vary frustrating - If you want to move the speakers from room to room - it won't remember your set-ups.
    • The apps are easy to use, but hard to explain to the family that no, they don't have to have their phone near it.
    • Free apps makes wifi control simple and at your fingertips wherever you are.
    • I think SONOS makes a remarkable product and their mobile app, support and software updates are the gold standard of ease.
    • I hated having to use the proprietary Sonos App
    • My iPad - added the app there too - works like a charm.
    • Outstanding sound coupled with great software and app
    • Upside: for my aging parents the app is wonderful
    • Downloaded the app and it worked - flawlessly.
    • The app sucks
    • The new app works great!!
    • The Sonos Play 3 was as advertised: good sounding and easy to set up...this smaller unit is perfect in my kitchen; the added Android app makes it convenient..the bridge was easy to set up and the Play 3 connected right away; the sound coming out of this unit is quite good;extremely satisfied with this product.
    • How do you control all of this -- by using one of their nifty free apps which run on iPhones, iPod Touch, Androids, iPads (with more to
    • The apps are easy to use, but hard to explain to the family that no, they don't have to have their phone near it.
    • The speakers sound great, the app is really nice and compatible with any device, and apparently it's geriatric friendly.
    • The app is great
    • every so often the app will fail to find the system on the network
    • The App has a "sleep" timer which I have unexpectedly come to really like, and an "alarm" that allows you to wake to Sonos music.
    • Unfortunately the app is terrible
    • I submitted a support ticket online, which claimed a 24-hour response, and didn't get a response for more like 48 hours, by which time some magic combination of rebooting and connecting via the Windows app (instead of the mobile app) seemed to clear up the problem.
    • The App is perfect, both on my phone, tablet and PC
    • The computer and phone apps make it very easy to turn on and off and the radio selection and apps within sonos (spotify, pandora, amazon music) are also well integrated and work very smoothly
    • It uses a proprietary app the rarely works with iTunes
    • These units could not be easier to set up, the app is very intuitive and user friendly.
    • The app works well with Apple products but is limited on Android platforms.
    • For example, the app doesn’t support Audible
    • Fifth ... the app is very good
    • I downloaded the free Sonos Android app, and now I can control the music selection and volume from anywhere.
    • The app isn't as easy to use as it should be, but this system is extremely user friendly, and has brought music back into my life.
    • The app integrates well with my existing music, pandora, sirius-xm
    • The app severely limits the usability of your
    • I love having remote app on my iPhone as wherever I am I can change songs without having to go to my laptop or even the speaker
    • The app on iOS and Android devices makes it easy to find the device you want and select from a broad range of music sources, from your own library through to online streaming services
    • The app only works when you're connected to a network that has a sonos device on it, and I don't have a speaker at work
    • A HARDWARE COMPANY SHOULD NOT BE FORCING USERS TO USE THEIR SOFTWARE, particularly instead of consumer friendly apps that focus on the software experience like Spotify, Pandora, iTunes (obviously Apple is a hardware company, but iTunes is vintage software that most people are familiar with)
    • Or both apps refuse to play at all-- jumping from one song to the next without playing, and I have to reboot everything in sight.
    • App accomplishes this just fine but sometimes pressing buttons on the speaker is more practical
    • And the app is wonderful, and with Alexa integration coming this year, they're only going to get better
    • The app works great to connect up with my favorite online music providers
    • We have the free app installed on my Kindle, phone,and my husband's tablet.
    • Beautiful app, too easy
    • The app is easy to use and intuitive.
    • If Sonos does not support the app you want to use, you are out of luck.
    • The free Sonos app for the iPad in particular is excellent (probably because there was so much more real estate for the developers to work with)
    • First the positive:The set up of the Sonos system was a breeze; I liked the Sonos controller apps for iPad and Android; and the system works with a lot of online services and locally stored content
    • Setup is incredibly easy, and love the mobile app which allows us to control all speakers from our iPhones.
    • Download the free app and plug it in.
    • Rich sound, easy set-up, great App to control it
    • However in SONOS you can only search through your profile, people you follow, or that follow you.....so once again SONOS takes away from the user friendliness that SOUNCLOUD OFFERS.SPOTIFY...same type of issues across the board, I would hate to see what the other apps are like
    • If you don't have a SONOS system, you are missing out!Amazing sound, great / easy app interface.
    • Why can't the app be smart enough to remember the last grouping?
    • I'm hoping these sound better as they break in.
    • The integration with pandora, songza and 15 other music services is as slick as it gets and my play 3 and 5 sound as good as I've ever hear 44k sampled mp3's get.
    • My advice: buyer beware-as always
    • This includes the bass and treble, balance, as well as 'Loudness'Cons:-Colors: I'm into aesthetics and I think the white one is just horribly ugly
    • I wasn't expecting my parents to enjoy it nearly as much as they did but within minutes they had figured out how to use the Sonos app and were playing music every morning by the time I woke up during my visit
    • (I have since moved it to my workshop), and put the Play:3 next to it to compare; the Sonos unit sounds at least as good across the entire audio range, and to my taste, sounding as good as
    • I returned this speaker as fast as I could
    • We can both control the speaker to work with a variety of phone apps such as Audible and Spotify as well as with our Alexa Echo.
