Treble is a little soft, without the piercing clarity you often get with a dedicated tweeter. However, I take this as a sign Sonos has done its best to work with the compromises of a relatively small speaker, to make it sound as big and satisfying as possible.

Currently I am only using the Play 5 gen 1 in my setup and the issues have become much worse the last six months or so. I just moved and the issues persist. If you’re not familiar with the Sonos system, here’s how it works: any music sent to the Sonos Play:1 is not streamed using AirPlay or Bluetooth, but Sonos’s own Wi-Fi-based software system. You access this through an iOS/Android app, or on your computer. Mids too sound great that allows you to hear every detail of your guitar strums and vocals. Lows will handle just fine if you want to hook up this one with the other speakers. However, as volume is increased the Sonos sound scales up much better. The Riva Arena starts to sound strained before the Play:1, and doesn’t have the same sense of scale. It can’t fill mid-size rooms anywhere near as well.The whole discussion suggests that Sonos Play 5 Gen 2 is better than Gen 1. Because Gen 2 is the latest model with many added features and improved audio performance. While Gen 1 is an older version and is obsolete now. So, preferably, you should buy Gen 2.

You can make a Sonosnet in your home theater. Amazingly, you can connect 32 Sonos speakers to one master speaker. They can be connected through a dedicated and secure wireless connection called Sonosnet. How many Sonos speakers are needed for a normal-sized room? Whichever assistant you come to be letting run your lifestyles, your Sonos will work with it. How do Sonos Gen 1 and Gen 2 sound?

How do you connect the Sonos One (Gen 1)?

Just to say that the “Play: 1” and “Sonos One SL” speakers do not have voice control, so if you’re looking to replace your echo dot in the room then you may wish to consider the “Sonos One” 1st or 2nd generation … note the Alexa voice component onboard these Sonos devices do not completely replace what an echo dot can do, some features are missing from the Sonos devices, like full support for routines and voice calling etc. Two limited editions of the speaker, the Blue Note Play:1, which was a collaboration with Blue Note Records for its 75th anniversary, and the Tone Play:1 were released in both March and July 2015 respectively. It was added to Spotify's Connect service as a beta feature in November 2016. If pushed, I would certainly get rid of my echo devices, rather than Sonos, if that helps you to decide. The specifications of the product were released by the FCC in September 2014. It was to market released in October 2014. The Sonos Controller app mainly controls and sets up the speaker, but can also connect other music services like Spotify, Apple Music, TuneIn and others. Furthermore, if the speaker is paired to others, then the same or different media can be played. The Trueplay feature allows the use of a phone to acoustically tune the surroundings of the speaker and adjusts based on its data. It also is able to play songs from a supported NAS drive.
