  • Hands on: Sonos Move fits in the home as well as outdoors

    k2kw said:
     Certainly a lot more expensive than most top of the line BT speakers, but I guess the integration with existing Sonos products comes with extra costs. I’d be more interested if I could bring it to a fellow Sonos user’s deck or yard party and tie into their system easier than existing Sonos products that require a factory reset, and adding to their account. Can’t see myself lugging a $500 CAD speaker to the beach, or travel with it being 6lbs.
    It's too big.    Bose has the idea size with the Resolve line and their new  Wifi/Bluetooth/Batter speaker coming.  

    The Port is disappointing as a pre-amp.   Functionally it's behind the $199 Echo Link which has Line I/O, Sub Out,  Coax Digital out, Optical I/O and Ethernet.  

    If you're a Sonos fan then you shell out the 2x for the quality improvements after your sphincter loosens up but if you're just wanting to pipe audio through your in-ceiling speakers or whatnot then $400 is not fun.  
    I love my Sonos system.  Best purchase since original iPad.   

    I'm pretty happy with my two Sonos One and my Sonos Beam.   I'll probably pickup another Beam for the Master Bedroom and I'm considering the Symfonix  Lamp for my sons rooms.  If I'm a betting man I'm hoping 2020 brings us a new Sonos cheaper Subwoofer and the answer for Atmos support. 
    Everyone I know with a Sonos system loves it, with the exception of people who obsess over specs. In my experience, the more speakers in my system, the more I love the Sonos lifestyle. I have them in every room except the garage & laundry. I only wish I had started collecting them after the switchover to AirPlay 2 support. Still, that's a minor spec sheet detail. I LOVE my Sonos home.

  • Sonos 'Move' portable Bluetooth speaker and dock images leak

    Can’t wait! My Bose soundbar Mini died this spring and I borrowed a friend’s BT speaker for vacation this summer. Glad I saved the $$$ Instead of immediately replacing the Bose, soon I can get the Sonos mobile speaker I’ve been wishing for since joining the Sonos team years ago!

  • Review: Symfonisk AirPlay 2 speaker review - HomePod meets lamp

    Me & my gal have Play:1’s and lamps with Hue bulbs on our nightstands at my home. We have a Beam under the TV on the wall. Great setup, though our nightstands are kind of over crowded. I really want to like these sine they would help solve the crowding problem, but they are just too weird looking. Maybe I need to take a look at the store?

    Yay! My condolences to the complainer contingent, one less thing to complain about. Though they are quite the resourceful bunch, I'm sure something else will be tapped to fill the gap soon.
    Riiight, because the point is to focus on the people who made valid complaints, not on the company that has just addressed one of those, per this article...
    See, didn’t take long at all. I knew you guys had this one covered!
    Nope just rejecting ignorant behavior.   
    Remember, I called it a contingent? The whole gang is back together now. Hi guys :)
