I am already invested in the Sonos system, so this product is not for everyone and admittedly expensive, but I love it

then I'm sure you'll find some fault with it, I don't know anything about sound quality other than what sounds good and this product sounds good.

I feel a product with the sound stage from the playbase and the sound of the playbar would be well worth the cost

I especially like that Sonos continuously rolls out software updates that only improve the product as time goes on, which is saying something since it already sounds great to begin with

Sure glad i did, you cannot put into words how awesome this product is

I am not an audiophile, and to say that this unit is better than any flat screen tv would be obvious

Everything thrown at it sounds great, as a stand alone unit

It sounds better at low volume, as this unit is trying to reproduce sound with 10 small speakers, and accomplishes it fairly well, so long as you don't turn up the volume

Needed a neighbor friendly single unit system due to downsizing into condo

I would highly recommend this unit to anyone looking for great sound with wireless capabilities.

but I'm going to sell it as I no longer trust the brand or want to deal with their products failing and taking weeks to get help

I really am impressed with the simple, elegant design that almost disappears in my living room, but provides such a powerful sound experience with music or Home Theater

Besides, it is so proportioned, it really just looks like it is some kind of nicely designed TV

Appealing Design+ Packaging convenient to reuse when moving+ Easy to disable/enable physical buttons and

The design is beautiful and blends in nicely with my bedroom

but I'm going to sell it as I no longer trust the brand or want to deal with their products failing and taking weeks to get help

Either way, the clarity from this thing is pretty phenomenal.

In fact, the clarity is outstanding, with movie tests revealing crystal clear nuances which would be lost with anything else (even besting the Bose!).Look, when MY WIFE says she's impressed, that means something, since most of the time she simply tolerates my fascination with technology without comment (even when prompted for an opinion, I get, "Are you happy

I'm going to give this some more time before making final judgements, but my initial impression is less than what I expected.(updated text above on 4-11-2017 for better clarity)Update 4-07-2017:I'm going to continue to update this review as I experience more with this unit

The clarity of sound is very good, especially vocals and dialogue

and it's an easy install, as well as being nearly invisible under your TV.

I have an open floor plan and it easily fills 800 square feet.- Significant base response.

The dialogue quality for understanding tv shows is better than Bose tv bar/ base

The base is sufficient for normal TV (news/sitcoms), but is lacking in depth when playing music or an action packed movie.

Provides wonderful sound for playing music and has a good enough base while watching movies versus TV Soundbars

The surround effects from the Play 1's is quite good and the sound quality for music is quite good.

Playing music, the sound quality is pretty good, considering there's no subwoofer, but it's not awesome

And the sound quality will blow your mind

You can change the amount of base and treble with the Sonos app.- Exceptional build quality.

and it's an easy install, as well as being nearly invisible under your TV.

and he's of use, setup can be quite confusing but one phone call to the customer care and they will walk you through it

Setup is easy and the system performs without a glitch.

You can tell the app was refined heavily to have a seamless setup with any Sonos speaker.2

I was worried about not having enough bass and having to spend another $700 for a sub.

Sound is crisp and clear, with enough bass to handle my bedroom for basic movie and music needs.

crisp sound, powerful bass for its size, fit under my 55 in tv perfectly, and lastly... very easy to set up.

The bass is pretty decent, highs are crisp and mid is slightly low but you can adjust with eq

Audio is incomparable to any TV speakers of course

The optical surround sound is acceptable, but HDMI audio is better

Audio on the playbase is beautiful, it is far surperior to my Samsung soundbar and it really does make movies come alive

and it's an easy install, as well as being nearly invisible under your TV.

The Playbase is a great device as well, with well separated, and precise audio, with well balanced BASS

So I bought two play 1s for surround and it improved the music experience

You will be blown away by how much it improves the overall experience

The Bose setup is one of the most painful processes I've experienced this decade.

The play base has really improved our TV watching experience

Problems I've never experienced with the speakers

Tried the Zvox 670 (muddy out of control sound) and new Samsung MS750 (decent sound, good features, weak bass)

The night sound is a nice feature to normalize volume and the speech enhancement helps with the dialog as well

Suddenly last week the wireless features failed for no reason

and it's an easy install, as well as being nearly invisible under your TV.

Being able to seamlessly run music through the system is a great feature as well.

I shouldn’t have to do that for a speaker this expensive.

It took a lot of tweaking but finally got the the speakers to sound decent.

It also sounds incredible for music - by far the best speaker I've ever owned

Great sound but needs better documentation as additional speakers can be cranky to work with.

Sounds great, and can be tweaked to improve the sound as a TV speaker

However, if space and budget is not an issue then go for the surround sound like a 5.1

If your DVD/blue-ray/other players don't support original Dolby Digital then the best you will ever have is stereo going to the playbase, which it then converts to fake surround, which means no true 5.1 experience

So after you get used to what is great surround sound for your movies, then you flip on some music; and, the settings just change over automatically.

The fact that it actually delivers fantastic surround sound that is clear and dynamic makes this an even more satisfying purchase.

Paired up with a set of smaller Sonos speakers for a great surround sound!
