Great Products from Sonos

What's great about it: Can broadcast TV audi to deck, kitchen, garage,...
What's not so great: Expensive. Wish I could do the whole house.
I am a news junkie and liked to listen to sporting events but don't like to sit in front of the TV. I can broadcast the TV audio using the line out to speakers around the house. If a touchdown or run is scored I can get back to the TV and watch the replay. Great in the kitchen while fixing a meal.

What's great about it: Everything amazing!!
What's not so great: Nothing
Great sound, easy to instal (if you are a little used to computers).
I got a Play5, a Play3, a Zone Player ans a Bridge. Only the Zone brougt me a little dificult to work with my Home Theater, nothing too hard to solve. I am very, very satisfied. I just dont get to control the system beeing ou of the home-network. Maybe I have to read a little more. I got to control it from notebook, galaxy SII, iPhone, iPad. Again, FANTASTIC!!!!

I recently purchased the ZP 90 to connect to my already established home stereo. I've been looking for some time to have a way to stream internet radio through my home stereo, and this seemed like a perfect fit.
Pros: compact so it is not that noticeable among my other audio equipment. The sound produced from my own speakers is great. Once I had set up the bridge, connection was quick.
Cons: The only drawback I found with this was in the setup, which is why I rated it 4 instead of 5 stars. I have a wireless network at the house which works well. However, for my home stereo/entertainment area I have a sling link to allow me to have all of my equipment wired for greater fidelity of the signal. When I plugged in the ZP 90, it took down my internet connection for all devices in the house, and would not even connect to the Sonos network. Once I unplugged it, everything worked well and there have not been any interruptions of signal over the wireless network, but that was one issue I thought I would bring up.
Otherwise, I'm very happy with the system.

What's great about it: It made my music collection SO EASY!
What's not so great: Should have a wireless WI-FI built in.
Brought it home, plugged it into my net, the wall and the stereo, then loaded the software. Was listening to my Pandora account in under 5 minutes! It was so easy! And seeing I have an Ipod Touch, that app is awesome as well! I recently loaded my whole CD collection of about 2000 cds onto a portable hard drive and after adding it to my playlist on the Sonos, I never have to touch my cds again! The sound is also great! (I hooked mine up with a digital cable) This is the best thing I have bought for my stereo in a LONG time!

What's great about it: easy set up, great use of all our different music sources.
What's not so great: software does not allow any play directly on your computer
We love our Sonos System. It was simple to set up (even though the Best Buy Salesman recommended Geek Squad for installation -- I did it myself in ten minutes).

What's great about it: Works as advertised.
What's not so great: No way to actually turn off the Zone Players (but no big deal)
I am super happy with this product. I have invested about $3000.00 in Sonos components. I have 5 each ZP90's; one ZP120; one Bridge and one Controller 200.
As a long time audiophile, I am thrilled with how this equipment allows me to play music all over the house, in the garage and in the patio. The same source material at all locations or different material whereever there is a Zone Player. If the reliability of this product is top notch over time, it will have been money well spent. I couldn't be happier. It is like having a Juke Box to the world.

What's great about it: Easy setup, great design, access to a world of new music
What's not so great: nothing so far
What an incredible feat of design and engineering. Kudos to Sonos! I am in music heaven, with my on line music collection, Pandora, and a whole world of free internet radio at my fingertips. I'm rediscovering many parts of my own music collection, as well discovering new music and artists throughout the world. Today I'm exploring ethnic music stations in Zambia!
Everything about this system - hardware and software, exudes quality and aesthetics. Other than glancing at the easy 4 step setup instructions, I never had to pick up the instruction manual once. Everything just worked! And the controller software is very intuitive and easy to use, with a nice clean and logical design. I have a ZoneBridge connected to my router upstairs, and a ZonePlayer 90 connected to my surround sound system in my media room.
It's such a trip to be sitting in front of my sound system, queuing up songs, creating playlists, and browsing a world of radio, all with my net book. It's great to have all my music sources integrated into one interface. The music coming out of my sound system instantly responds to my commands - play, stop, pause, skip to another track, mute, un-mute, change internet radio stations, listen to Pandora, etc, etc. And if I don't happen to have my net book handy, I can perform all the functions with my Android smart phone.
Among the nice touches in design and engineering is that when you bring a zone out of mute, it ramps up the volume, rather than sending a spike of jarring sound through your system. Also, when you start up the controller interface on a different computer or smart phone, it is instantly synced with whatever your Sonos system is doing/playing at the time (as set by another instance of the controller). There are many little pleasant surprises like this.
It's hard to explain the experience of this system. If you enjoy listening to music, don't walk, RUN to purchase a Sonos system.

What's great about it: Simplicity of set-up, stability, smart phone controller apps
What's not so great: price is steep (but a good value for what you get)
I had the Logitech Squeeeboz duet for over 2 years and I thought that it was pretty nice. That being said, the constant firmware updates left the unit out of order for more than I cared. When Sonos started offering the Apple iPhone and Android controller apps it pulled the economics of the system out of the stratosphere. The ease in setting up this system (took 5 minutes) and the stability day in, day out is what sets this system apart - it reminds me of Apple. Hearing my digital music and Pandora on my real stereo is a pleasure. If you have the money and you love music, I highly recommend this system.

What's great about it: Size, support, and ease of use.
Sonos lets me play my 20,000 songs on my computer to any room in the house and control it with my Itouch. Who could ask for more. It had trouble originally finding my media folder but the excellent support staff at Sonos logged on to my computer and found the issue. I was up and running a few minutes after that. Great product and great support.

I have my music set up in the basement and always had to run down to change the music or know what I wanted before a party. Sonos is a godsend!! You don't need the controller if you have an iPad or iPhone though. It works great with them and the app is free.

What's great about it: Seamless Integration, Easy to Set up
What's not so great: Nothing so far
I wish I knew about Sonos earlier, this device is the solution to what I've always been looking for, a device that brings my whole music library into the palm of my hands. I set up wireless zones by my pool and on all 3 levels of my house, the product works so perfectly so far. The best part about it was that it was instant satisfaction in that it took all of 10 minutes and 4 simple steps to set up. Who knew setting up a multi-zone music system could ever be this easy! Some would say the price of this product is high but I honestly would have paid triple this amount for what the product provides. Overall, I would say this was the most satisfying electronic device that I've ever purchased!

What's great about it: Easy to set up
What's not so great: expensive, but worth it
So many technological gadgets advertise how easy and simple it is to use their product, but then when you get them, there often are glitches that need to be worked out. This was as advertised. You literally just plug this into your network, and next thing you know, you are listening to music. One of the packages allow you to also buy the Sonos Controller, which is an expensive, and unnecessary controller. If you have an ITouch ipod, a free application turns your ITouch into the controller. If you don't have an ITouch, use this as a chance to buy one because the ITouch is cheaper than the Sonos controller, works exactly the same, and also gives you an ITouch ipod to take with you wherever you go. If others in your family have ITouch Ipods as well, you can immediately link all of them to the Sonos system, in essence, giving you numerous controllers. If you buy a 2nd Zone player, or another type of Sonos player, as I did, the ease to add this to your existing system is literally, again, as easy as pushing two buttons, and you are now listening wirelessly throughout your house.

What's not so great: User interface needs work
The Sonos ZP90 is a great deal for $349. If you need a way to get all of your music content and internet music in one place that can be controlled by an iPhone, then Sonos is it.
Too bad you have to leave your computer on to access your iTunes library.
But overall, I am very satisfied and am looking to expand it to other parts of the house.
Jess loved it as well.

What's great about it: Easy set-up, unlimited music capabilites, highly compatable with existing systems
What's not so great: High price, but well worth it
This has to be one of the best purchases I've made in a long time. First of all, it's the only thing on the market right now that can do what it does. And what does it do? Well, it perfectly and seamlessly integrates all types of music from your MP3's to local radio stations to internet services such as Sirius or Pandora. Awesome. It was so easy to set up. Just connect it to a set of powered speakers, hit two buttons, and bam! you're connected! However, I should mention that this is only one component of a larger system. It will not function by itself. You must have a controller, and an internet connection to the ZonePlayer to make it work. I have several of these in my house, and they all work great. For music lovers of any kind, the SONOS system is a must!!!
