Description of π Sonos Five Two Room Set - Premium Hi-Fi Speaker System - White
2 Room Set, All-new Sonos Five - Experience vividly clear, room-filling sound for music and more with Five, tuned by renowned producer Giles Martin. Enjoy control with the Sonos app, Apple AirPlay 2, and more. Deep bass - Five's unrivalled acoustic design features three high-excursion woofers within a sealed architecture that eliminates reverb and echo. Ultra-wide soundstage - Two precisely-angled side tweeters create spatial extension and rich stereo sound, while a center tweeter optimizes vocal playback. Smart stereo sound - Place a single speaker horizontally for stereo sound. Pair two speakers in an upright position and each automatically adjusts to mono for more detailed stereo separation and an even wider soundstage. Line-in and play - Connect your turntable, CD player, or other device directly to Five using the 3.5 mm line-in port. Customized sound - Trueplay puts the speaker-tuning capability of the pros in the palm of your hands, adapting and optimizing the sound of the speaker to the unique acoustics of the room.
Pros
- Sound quality. Now, after it, listening to music in the car has become torture, you have to change the acoustics to B & O
Cons
- Did not reveal
Pros
- Design, cool application, works both with Tidal and Deezer HIFI, as well as with popular music in our area. Sufficiently fat sound, a large margin of volume.
Cons
- Metal, hard rock is not quite suitable for this audio system. Sounds good, but for the money it's not good enough. However, this applies only to the above genres.
Pros
- β Gorgeous appearance β There are many speaker settings in the app. The app itself is bug free. You can set alarms and auto-off - A lot of external services from where you can listen to music - Very pleasant sound
Cons
- β Delays. Delays are everywhere! Even over the wire, Carl! I didnβt quite understand what kind of super-duper fast processor they stuck there. Pure marketing nonsense. Yes, you can lower it to 75ms, but I still notice this out of sync! β Does not automatically switch from AirPlay to AUX. To do this, you need to go into the application and switch. There are no physical buttons on the column for this. Facepalm. β Saves network settings for a very long time. On the other hand, this is done once. β No Bluetooth. Here your friends go through the forest, especially those who have an android phone. - The speaker is tied to WiFi / Ethernet and you can't do anything about it, you won't even switch the source to AUX. See above. Further, most likely the features of my copy. β Always emits a static hiss under any scenario. It's wildly annoying when you sit in silence and try to work. When an AUX source is selected, the hiss is endless, the speaker does not turn itself off in this mode. You have to poke sources back and forth. It's wildly inconvenient! - On a Mac, when connected via AirPlay at the system level, the sound constantly stutters about once a minute. On the Denon Home 350, the same thing, but a little less often. If you play music through Apple Music and select a column there, then there are no stutters. It also works fine from the phone. - For some unknown reason, when connected via AUX, there is no sound from some applications, especially from games. At least not immediately, you have to switch several times between AirPlay and AUX. The authors of AirPlay are waiting for a separate boiler in hell . Proprietary technology that will always give a delay of 2 seconds. This means that any sound that should be played right this millisecond, but will be played with a delay of 2 seconds. AirPlay is streaming audio/video. It's streaming. This also means that the games are forested, you first shoot and only after 2 seconds does the sound of a shot occur.
Pros
- from May 2022. Removed support for Music. It has become much less convenient. minus a star. It's amazing how well he plays. Although the column one scene is quite different. Both high and low with the middle are well worked out. Packaging is a piece of engineering art. I have never seen such cool packaged goods. Apple smokes aside) The application is convenient: I chose the service of interest (including Music!), I chose the stream that I like. Further buttons on the column itself (volume, play / pause, rewind). Mega convenient. AirPlay 2 is also a fire thing if you have an iPhone. It is convenient that the music is not interrupted during a call. Looks pretty good.
Cons
- Removed support for Music. Much less convenient. It's hard to force yourself to come off the speaker and listening to music;) So I think if you take the second one and connect it to a stereo pair, how will it play then? Began to dorovarivatsya with a toad. And this is after three days of use.
