Should You Buy It?
As a Sonos user myself
I'm torn. This new speaker is incredible at what it does-but it's also awfully expensive for something with limited features. I th
Big, powerful sound, Rich bass response, Good detail levels, Crystal clear mids, Easy setup, Flexible design, The best app of its type, Part of probably the best multi-room ecosystem available,
No high-res support, Can now be beaten for outright sound quality and value,

The Sonos Zoneplayer S5 is compact and, by Sonos’ standards, relatively affordable – but doesn’t feel like a budget model when it comes to the crunch. Audio quality from the integrated speakers (there are five in total) is detailed, with the high end precise and the bass far more controlled than on most compact systems, letting you hear the nuances of bass lines rather than a just a wave of low e
If you don’t have the aforementioned iDevice, however, you’ll either have to control playback through your computer or shell out for an expensive (but lovely) Sonos CR200 touchscreen remote control. There’s also no Wi-Fi built-in, so you’ll have to connect the S5 to your router via Ethernet cable.
The Sonos Zoneplayer S5 is designed for quite a specific need – it’s a high-end network audio player. If that’s what you’re looking for, you can’t really go wrong. Sonos Zoneplayer S5 is tagged with Sonos Zoneplayer S5, Sonos and Network Audio Player. ...
