What connectivity?
on December 16, 2016
Posted by: oktrav
Bad bad BAD. Heed the warnings about connectivity issues. Another tech saavy user frustrated beyond reason trying to get these to reliably maintain a connection to my Wifi.
Purchased 2 of these to use around the house. After an acceptably clunky initial setup (if I had only known then how many more times I'd go through that setup process in the vizio app... ), they worked out of the box for about half hour each. Then the music stopped.
What if I independently rename my 2.4 and 5 ghz networks? Nope. What if DHCP is to blame, I can assign static IP addresses? Nope. Maybe they'll work with my old router? Nope. What if I factory reset and try the same thing over and over again (many more times than I'm proud to admit)? Nope nope nope.
The truly tragic part is that these speakers are otherwise amazing. They're sonically brilliant relative to Sonos play 1s, surprisingly solidly built, visually striking and potentially seriously practical. And all of that's to say nothing of the amazing price point. Too bad that they JUST DON'T WORK.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Does sound quality compare to Sonos 5,3 or 1 or not at all?

Sound quality is superior to Sonos Play 1, inferior to Sonos Play 5 (current gen). I'm not familiar with Sonos Play 3.
