  • As a music lover and a long-time Sonos fan, I've been waiting for some time for the company's next chapter. I expected the PLAY:5 to be good, but it was only when I put it side by side with the old model that I realised just how big a leap Sonos had taken...

  • Great looks, Easy setup, Excellent audio, Big sound
  • Trueplay is not life-changing
  • Sonos Play:5 is another excellent Sonos connected audio device that could be the sound system for the entire floor of a house or even a hall. We just wish Trueplay, which is easy to use, was a bit more impressive...

  • Newly redesigned speaker enclosure with a more open, bright sound. Understated visual design will blend in easily with your decor. Touch controls for playing, pausing, switching tracks, and changing volume. Can be configured to work on its own or as part
  • Software calibration is interesting from a technological standpoint, but results may vary. It's also iOSonly. $500 is pricey, especially for a speaker system that really works best if you have more than one

  • Astoundingly wide stereo field, it's ability to rotate and its sound in all rotations are stellar. Easily links with your existing wireless network making setup a breeze for new and expanding users alike.
  • Multitouch controls for play and pause don't provide the tactile feel of a physical button

  • Yes, physical buttons have gone the way of polka, replaced with a sleek touch-sensitive surface and three tiny markings atop the speaker (if set up horizontally). The slightly-raised Play/Pause button sits directly above the vertical Sonos logo, framed by...

  • Simple setup and tuning, Easy to turn into multi-room system with other, cheaper Sonos speakers, Audio quality is excellent, Long list of supported services, Line-in adds limitless music options
  • Searching for music in app is cumbersome, No dedicated remote, Priced even higher than previous generation
  • The Play:5 is the best speaker Sonos has ever made. Its reliance on a single app for controlling all your audio services means the software experience isn't quite as slick as it could be, but it's easy to set up and sounds as good as its $499 price tag s...

  • Streaming music has come a long way in the five years since Sonos launched the original PLAY:5 - née S5 - with some of the biggest changes being cost of entry. Sonos' own range is more affordable, with the $199 PLAY:1, but alternatives like Google's Chrom...

  • The second-generation Sonos Play:5 is a sleek, well-designed Wi-Fi speaker that delivers rich sound for its size and strong bass. It offers the full Sonos wireless experience, controllable from iPhone, iPad and Android apps, with compatibility with nearly

  • Wonderfully musical to listen to, Sonos's mesh network makes for outstanding wholehome audio, Terrific price/performance ratio
  • Not as high fidelity than the more expensive B&W Zeppelin Wireless, No threaded mount
