Our phones’ screens are the windows to our digital world, and we want a seamless experience as we swipe and type on our Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max or XS Max. Nothing delivers that experience quite like the ultra-smooth surface of glass. So, we created Glass+ to be able to withstand the rigors of our day-to-day lives and the unexpected.

What do I like? no one complains about call quality!
Nice sound, not so good at pairing past a singular time you choose not to connect to a particular device.
Suppossed to place near device,,,and yes the first time is amazing and if you want to pair to that device always,,then works everytime flawless....if you want to change or deviate,,,between devices,,,I more often have to settings/bluetooth/ connect....so...I am not throwing them away or taking them back...but buttons on the wire,,,unreliable.

Only at Best BuyMount your flat-panel TV to the wall easily with this tilting mount that features a locking mechanism for secure installation and a fingertip tilt that allows for smooth movement and optimal viewing.
 

When we moved we lost the plate that mounts to the wall. We still have the brackets that mount to the TV. Is it possible to get a replacement plate or do I need to by a whole new mount?

Possible if you can reach the manufacturer. This was sent to me to answer, Sorry I could not be more helpful.
At least you already have the bolts for the rails to the tv.

 Sonos - Low-Profile Wall Mount for PLAYBAR Soundbars - Black
Sonos - Low-Profile Wall Mount for PLAYBAR Soundbars - Black
Easily display your PLAYBAR soundbar with this SONOS PBRWMWW1 wall mount that features a low-profile design for a sleek look and aluminum material for durability.
 

Does soundbar have to have mounting holes on back?

The mounting is through spaces similiar to a tv wall mount slot. #10/32 screws with counter sink heads are perfect and allow sonos to have room to mount.
Any obtrusion from a screw head will prevent sound device to adhere properly. Everything should be flush and even.

 Sanus - Premium Series Advanced Tilt TV Wall Mount For Most TVs 42&quot;-90&quot; up to 150 lbs - Black
Sanus - Premium Series Advanced Tilt TV Wall Mount For Most TVs 42"-90" up to 150 lbs - Black
Tilt or extend your television for maximum viewing enjoyment with this Sanus Advanced Tilt TV wall mount. Able to support up to 150 pounds of weight, this mount can easily handle flat screen televisions up to 90 inches. Click, lock and release on this Sanus Advanced Tilt TV wall mount let you find a viewing angle and secure it.
 

Will this mount work for a Samsung QN65Q70RAFXZA? VESA mounting for the monitor states 400 x 300, but the mount doesn’t state that it supports that pattern

Mounts are by size of device not pixels.
Check the size in inches or cm, and convert as needed. Hope that helps answer your question.
All tv’s have standard backplane mounting holes, although screw depths and pitches vary, mounts come with lots of optional screws and washers for adaptability, and 90% of the time its all in the box, once in a while, I have to go looking for a proper screw at lowe’s.

I'm looking to play downloaded music from my smart phone while using connect's coax output to my DAC. The DAC will feed a wired system What is the best way for connecting and do I need a booster? What does the ethernet port provide for connection?

The sonos output connects over rca. If you cut one end you can connect with the center wires if necessary. (PA system Voltage units often us wire)
Ethernet, places on your network and can act as a hub to a second sonos.
