I like the sonos concept and this speaker

Basically, Sonos made this speaker to be less-useful than all other speakers before it

I have a reasonably expensive blue tooth speaker (I won't say which one) that is good, but this blows away

The speaker is decent

Second, during significant power outages (we had some during Harvey), the speakers can become confused and not reconnect to the network.

I love the speaker itself

Amazing sound quality and the ease of moving from room to room makes this the best speaker solution for us.

These speakers sound great.

Great speaker and great system.

its crazy to think that an expensive speaker like this doesn't.

Great speakers for what we use it for - background music in den & kitchen

Best speakers

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.

We love this speaker

Though the more speakers you add to your system the better.

, you can't add true left and right speakers, despite them calling it a 5.1 set-up - left, right and center are only in the sound-bar

Exactly what we wanted—going to add more speakers when we can afford them!

The speakers sound great, but the Sonos app doesn't work - especially with iTunes.

An incredible room speaker in it's own right

Love our sonos speakers.

The speaker sounds great, clear at high and low volumes for such a small unit, and the player interface it intuitive, easy to use and customizable.

That's disappointingIn an otherwise excellent sounding speaker.

The bottom line here is that it is a good speaker with great features, but you'll never be fooled into thinking you're actually at the performance if you close your eyes and lean back in your chair

Most speakers are just ugly

All in all both amazing speakers and below half volume are very similar.

These speakers are amazing, not only in their technical achievements but also by their built quality and technical support

And the play 5 is only 1 speaker as well.

This one speaker is plenty loud enough for us and the

This speaker is simply phenomenal.

The best Wifi home speaker for its price

Sonos makes the best small speakers... from sound to construction.

This speaker is so easy to set up and start playing your favorite tunes.

So packaging gets an A+Speakers:PLAY 1 - great speaker, smallish size with a bit of heft to the speaker

Good speaker

I love my Sonos Play:3 speaker

This is a solid speaker unit

I purchased SONOS Play 3 and SONOS Bridge to have a high-quality, portable speaker to use around my house or outside for entertaining

Perfect speaker for a small or medium sized room.

Factor: the speakers and amp are solid.

Excellent speakers for their size and ideal for smaller rooms, if you get a chance buy them in the US where they are cheaper and bring back in hand luggage

Is it a good speaker?

Just a spectacular sounding speaker with a nice app interface.

Love this speaker and so happy my husband loves it too as it was a gift for him

Excellent speaker

Speaker is expensive but worth it

Great speakers

In particular to this speaker, its good on space - but you will miss (probably) the lack of two speakers distributed, that produce a more stereo effect

The speakers are not that great or worth it to deal with the limit of freedom when playng music thats on my phone!!!!!

The speakers are great.

I'm not an audiophile by any means, but I can tell the difference between cheap speakers and quality speakers.

And none of them are as versatile or sound as good as this speaker.

So yes, I'd recommend the speaker as long as you're not expecting top-quality sound

Plug the speaker in, work through the quick and simple set up process on the app and in less than two minutes great sounding music is flowing

Great sounding, BIG sounding speaker for a smaller one.

While the speaker sounds amazing and streams music from my preferred music service spotify, I am giving a 2 STAR review because of the poor form in connectivity.

I have been an audiophile for more than 30 years and can say these are very good sounding speakers as long as they are not pushed past 60% volume which is all you really could expect from their size

The speakers do sound pretty good given their size, but the price and the other issues with the system make me say that you should look at other types before you buy this

great speaker for my living room .I am thinking of adding one more.

The Play5 is without a doubt one of the better audio speakers I have had, previously I had Bose SoundDocks and tried the

Its a good speaker, but I can't shake the feeling that it isn't THAT much better than a PLAY:1 (of which I have 3) and that I probably should have just sprung for the PLAY:5

Though a bit on the expensive side, an investment in the Play 3 speaker is well worth the money.

Absolutely love this speaker and the wireless connectivity from multiple devices

excellent WIFI speaker, sonos App need improved to use more app on the Phone instead of only Music

After you push the volume up past 60%, the speaker appears to struggle with bass notes and sounds somewhat harsh, especially with compressed MP3 material

Clear, loud, wonderful speakers.

One of the clearest, cleanest speakers I have ever purchased

Great speaker

Amp with some good speakers and a Sub.

Was going to buy others, but no thanks not worth the money for dumb speakers

Hardware --The speaker is definitely better than any speakers on my computers, tablet, and maybe even TV

Love this speaker.

Love the speakers

Sometimes the controller has problems finding the speaker on the network, and I have to start the app 10 or 12 times to get it to work

Awesome speaker

The audio is completely synchronized and makes it feel like there are four speakers in the room, instead of one

I bought a Play:1 (small), a couple of Play:3s (medium) and a Play:5 (large) for various rooms, along with a Connect:Amp to drive some nice speakers had had lying around, and a Connect to connect to my AV Receiver in my media room.

This is one impressive speaker.

Good speakers to plug in anywhere in the house.

In short they sounded like really cheap iPod dock speakers, not the quality hi-fi system advertised

and it is the perfect speaker for that space

Looking forward to expanding to other SONOS smart speakers in the future.

Love these speakers, just wish they had a rechargeable battery.

Love these speakers!

The speakers sound great, the app is really nice and compatible with any device, and apparently it's geriatric friendly.

’s own network (Sonosnet) which keeps the speakers in sync and limits interference from other electronics

Great powerful speaker

Overall, this is my favorite speaker from Sonos

I love this internet speaker.

Clear, loud, wonderful speakers.

I recommend these speakers for folks who really notice the quality of music and ONLY listen to music through the apps Sonos supports

It’s a great speaker

In the end, I feel like I have these beautiful, wonderful speakers that are more decoration than anything else

Sounded as if a speaker was blown - that raspy, scratch sound

Since trying Sonos I will not be purchasing any other portable speaker system

If that is OK with you... by all means...it is a good speaker but not as good as PEACHTREE DEEPBLUE2.

It's not going to be as great as a wired speaker with a massive amp powering it

These speakers are SO freaking smart!

One of the best speakers I have ever heard and great customer service

You will not find a better Speaker or System on the Market.

As for design; I can't afford the headache or price tag of having a full speaker system installed into my ceilings and having bulky free-standing speakers is not an option

The PC and iphone apps are amazingly simple to use and the speaker sounds fantastic.

But overall it is a good speaker

this is a great speaker

And the Play:3 is a great speaker

Great speakers, very good sound quality even though there is no true bass speaker on it.

speaker, I can't recommend this product .

Sonos has the simplest, best sounding wireless speaker system.

Speaker is fine but it will only work with a music service that is recognized by the sonus app

Great sounding speakers

I don't know how I survived with crappy speakers for so long!

I do NOT recommend these speakers for people who are looking for normal, high quality speakers to listen to things they might otherwise listen to on their phone.

Great speaker

I'm stuck with $500 of overpriced Sonos speakers, but you don't have to be.- First and most importantly, AUDIO HAS TO BE

This speaker is incredible!

Highly recommend these speakers you will not be disappointed.

I have a half dozen various Sonos units, and while there are rooms I want my own passive speakers for various reasons (in ceiling for one room, "better" home theater speakers in another, etc) these smaller Play:3 units are amazing for about every other place.

These are not cheap speakers.

Excellent speaker, works well, sounds great

Great sounding speakers.

Excellent speaker, works well, sounds great

Could use a little more base, but considering everything else, its a great speaker.

Good speakers, easy to set up

My speaker worked for three months and then unexpectedly it stopped although I changed nothing related to connectivity.

The Sonos 3/ 5 are great SPEAKER systems, really, for your music, especially if you don't need, or don't have the space for, a full stereo or a bunch of larger speakers.

A huge step up from a portable blue tooth speaker.

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.

This speaker is awesome

Also, its audio speaker set up program failed so many times I just skipped this step in the end.

The speakers sound great, but the Sonos app doesn't work - especially with iTunes.

Unplugging a speaker to move to a different room is a pain as well, because the system loses the unplugged speaker and it needs to be detected again.-I often find myself in the same room with a speaker, but with no means to actually turn it on or to select a station

If you want just one nice speaker, look for something else.

With something like an Echo Dot, you can spend the money on better speakers and get the bonus of having your music chosen by voice command or your phone.

Easy to set-up, and the more speakers you get, the better it is.

Sonos expects customers to buy a whole other set of expensive speakers, simply to play their music right next to the computer

Terrific speakers and very easy to install

excellent speakers

We live in a large house with several large rooms and this is an excellent speaker system

I don't think I've ever put the volume over 40% - these are some powerful little speakers

Easy to set up, great sounding speaker.

What a great speaker.

If we have a party on our deck it's as easy as unplugging a speaker from a bedroom, plugging it in on the deck and -- voila -- awesome sounding music on the deck.

To add a new speaker (Play:3), I just plugged in the new device to an electrical outlet, then press 2 buttons on the top of the Play:3 and a button on my iPad, and boom - the new speaker shows up as an option to play music.4. synchronization or NOT.

However, these speakers are completely incompatible with any PC / laptop content.

Amazing speakers...

Great sound from the most convenient speaker.

This speaker exceeded expectations

so I have Serius XM to the good TV room stereo speakers as well

your fancy speaker is about as useful as those prop stereo systems at Ikea

Sound quality: Even to the untrained ear the sounds sounds much fuller and balanced with a deeper bass, I believe due to the right box and speaker sizing

There are lots of less expensive, excellent portable speakers now available.

There are many good speakers out there (you should not pay $300 for just the experience of the "speaker") but the sonos system is AWESOME.

If you're in college throwing a house party, this speaker is probably not loud enough

They’ve successfulky built a very expensive external speaker for a TV!!

The speaker did sound better at home than in the store, but not quite as good as many of the reviews were saying--specifically in regards to the tone

The Sonos Play 3 is an excellent speaker and is loud with Impressive bass for a

My wife and I both realky love this little speaker

Love these speakers.

This is my 3rd speaker with Sonos and I obviously love it!

Cons:Not great for just buying one speaker, because you can get a cheaper, quality speaker

Love this speaker

I'm seriously considering selling this in favor of an AirPlay compatible / line out speaker

The speakers sound pretty good though

The Sonos system are not the best speakers I've ever heard, but then those kinds of speakers are usually 2-3 times the size and price of the Sonos speakers and are not wireless

This means both my girlfriend and I had to buy Spotify Premium just to enjoy this stupid speaker

These little speakers are indeed very powerful

They have improved steadily; adding speakers is easier than ever

The play 3 is enough sound for most rooms and we use it as a portable speaker.

I would strongly recommend Blue tooth speaker or an old fashion stereo, if your looking for reliability

We called Sonos and the serial number indicated a refurbished speaker, not at all what I thought I was purchasing

Love this speaker

While the software is separate from the speaker itself, without the software, the speakers are useless.

A great little speaker with awesome sound

This speaker was extremely easy to set up with the Sonos Bridge.

This is a great speaker that I'm using on wireless in my workshop to listen to Spotify, etc

But for everything else that's not loud raging music related, its a great speaker.

The 3s are very good speakers

And loses the speaker

Sonos is one of if not the best wireless speaker systems out there

So, yes, I would enthusiastically recommend the SONOS speakers

Never had a better speaker.

To think we could've had a bluetooth speaker much easier to use for 1/10 of the price really chaps my britches

Great speaker

If you intend to use this for any other reason than as an overly expensive iphone speaker than you are out of luck.

Great speakers!

For wireless play, I can do a better job with rather inexpensive bluetooth speakers

Great Speaker to start your Sonos collection =)

The speakers are good but are pricey especially compared to Apple's Home Pod which is better and does not mine your data without giving you a say in the matter

I really though for the price I would be getting great speakers.

Great speaker

Best quality speakers I have heard

The speaker is very clear and you can tune it in place to get the best quality sound available

this is an awesome sounding speaker that can fill a 2500sq ft home pretty well

Loved the speaker - need another now to replace the PLAY:1 stereo we had previously set up.

Still, it's a really nice speaker.

Great sounding mobile speaker, made even better after enhancing it by setting it on ceramic tiles in my kitchen

Sometimes one speaker quit working, sometimes both, sometimes music wouldn't load (see other negative reviews on this-spot on) sometimes controller couldn't find anything

This is a great speaker.

These are great speakers

We love our Sonos speakers

This means both my girlfriend and I had to buy Spotify Premium just to enjoy this stupid speaker

This is a great speaker.

Even the cheapest Bluetooth speakers have these buttons.

is for it being a solid speaker but just short on being a really great sounding speaker, so one star had to go

Great speakers

It's a great speaker for the money ($250) and is even better paired in stereo.

I wish I could say I love the sound of the Sonos 3 Smart Speaker, but I couldn't even set it up

This speaker was so easy to set up, and sounds great

This speaker sounds great but if you want to add an a line-in for playing a turntable or other analog audio source without springing for a Play 5 or CONNECT, then Google my Instructable "Add Aux to Sonos Using Raspberry Pi" since I can't link it here.

The little speaker from RS is AWESOME and I would HIGHLY recommend that over this!!!

There are lots of less expensive, excellent portable speakers now available.

the speakers simply are not working

You may have sticker shock at first for a portable speaker

Perfect if you want something affordable ($300 a speaker is pricey, yes, but not when you factor in the costs of a tradional system - speakers, receiver/amp, etc) that still sounds really excellent.

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 returned this speaker as fast as I could

My advice: buyer beware-as always

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.

(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

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.

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'm hoping these sound better as they break in.
