I use it in...:Small home
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this in a last ditch effort to avoid buying a Sonos Connect to stream music (Spotify and Pandora) in my house. It was easy to set up and I used an optical audio out cable to connect it to my stereo via an Arcam rLink outboard DAC. I found the sound quality to be pretty good and I liked that I got to use the native app's interface to select my music but two things bothered me: 1) The 2-3 second lag every time I tried to do something (start music, stop music, change track, look at iPad) was not only very irritating but also very un-Apple and 2) the gain on the audio volume was a little weak (meaning I had to crank my volume up to 70% to get sufficient volume out of it compared to 50% under my Roku streamer). In the end, the lagginess irritated me too much and I sold it off to my less picky friend.
My Best Buy number: 0011167556
What's great about it: Relatively inexpensive, easy to set up
What's not so great: delay in starting music using airplay is irritatingly long
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Sleek and not very protective

This case fits great, but I had no confidence at all that it would protect my iPad in a drop scenario. I ended up getting a slightly bulkier leather case that was $20 cheaper than this one and more protective.
What's great about it: Very slim, stylish
What's not so great: Not likely to protect from anything beyond minor scuffs
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great performance for a price

I switched to this from a Logitech Squeezebox Duet which a lot of people really like but I found to be pretty buggy. The Sonos products are extremely well sorted out- there is no product development required on your part. I use it primarily to stream Pandora Radio, Slacker and various internet radio stations. The introduction of iOS and Android apps for the controller function really helped the value of this system. I just bought one of these for my 72 y/o Mom and even she had no problem setting it up. The only downside to this system is that there are emerging systems of lower quality that are popping up like AirPlay enabled components and even a Roku if you don't mind having to have your tv on. What Sonos does that those don't is allow multiple room usage and coordination. If you don't need that a simpler cheaper alternative might be better for you. One more thing - Sonos uses its own frequency to deliver music via the Bridge component. It seems to me to be much more stable than standard wifi used by most cheaper systems.
What's great about it: Easy to set up, reliable, smart phone controllable
What's not so great: Price, new alternatives popping up
I would recommend this to a friend!

Want to hook up magic jack plus to a non PC device that hooks to the router via wifi
I do not believe so. What you would probably want to do if I understand your goal (VoIP phone based away from router) is to buy an Ooma VoIP phone system and hook up to your router and then connect a wireless multiphone system to that. Then you can place the auxilliary handsets in more convenient locations away from your router. My Ooma bill is $4 and change (taxes) every month, so not a bad deal at all.
