Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

Sonos is the market leader in multi-room acoustics. Many companies have also moved into this segment, Denon, Riva, Bluesound, Yamaha and others, but try to search the play store for acoustic control applications of these companies, there is a rating of less than 3 and reviews of 1-2 pieces in the literal sense (except for Denon and Yamaha , but the score is still low). Since there was no opportunity to listen before buying, I decided not to take risks and took acoustics from the market leader, although, judging by foreign reviews, the sound quality and functionality of competitors is better. Specifically, I took one speaker to the kitchen, instead of Bluetooth acoustics. The advantages are obvious - Sonos is always on and ready to work, in standby mode it consumes a minimum of electricity. You can listen to Internet radio through a proprietary program for mobile and PC, as well as music, but for this you need to have a folder with music available over the network. I have a flash drive or a mobile disk plugged into the router. It is also possible from the memory of the smartphone, but then it does not see the folder, only genres, albums, artists, in general, it is unacceptable for me, because. firstly, the music is pirated and there is chaos in the tags, and secondly, I have everything sorted into folders. On the network, he sees folders and even 2022 letters, though sometimes he confuses them with Turkish ones. Yes, by the way, the smartphone must be powerful enough, otherwise it slows down and is buggy. On powerful smartphones / tablets it works fine. The application itself is quite convenient. As for the sound, the bass is amazing. Really like a subwoofer. But there are few high ones. But there is a bass / treble control. So the bass needs to be removed a little, and the treble should be added to taste. And be sure to turn on loudness compensation, because. at low volume plays muffled without it. A significant drawback is that you can not output any sound, only through the application. Those. YouTube, movies, third-party music. the player does not listen. Yes, it seems that AirPlay was added in the latest version, but I donโ€™t need it. I mostly listen to internet radio. On top of the volume buttons and play/pause/switch the track. The LED is always on, but you can turn it off. The whole place is over.

Pros
  • Good sound for this size, nice design, scalability, moisture protection (but not from splashes, just from high humidity, as I understand it). Can be hung on the wall. Reasonable price.
Cons
  • The sound still does not reach the ideal, control and playback only through a proprietary application, you can not output any sound, for example, from a computer, there are no input sound connectors and usb, like competitors.
