Experience vividly clear, room-filling sound for music and more with the all-new Sonos Five, tuned by renowned producer Giles Martin. Enjoy control with the Sonos app, Apple AirPlay 2, and more. Five's unrivalled acoustic design features three high-excursion woofers within a sealed architecture that eliminates reverb and echo.Two precisely-angled side tweeters create spatial extension and rich stereo sound, while a center tweeter optimizes vocal playback. Place a single speaker horizontally for stereo sound. Pair two speakers in an upright position and each automatically adjusts to mono for more detailed stereo separation and an even wider soundstage. Connect your turntable, CD player, or other device directly to Five using the 3.5 millimeter line-in port. Trueplay puts the speaker-tuning capability of the pros in the palm of your hands, adapting and optimizing the sound of the speaker to the unique acoustics of the room.

Consumer Reports

If sound quality is your top priority in a multiroom system—and that’s usually a great place to start—then you should put the Sonos Five on your shopping list. It’s the highest-rated and best-sounding multiroom speaker we’ve tested, delivering solid bass and crystalline trebles that let you hear every detail of your favorite recordings. And though a single Five offers up fine sound, two Fives paired in stereo receive our rarely bestowed top rating for sound quality.
While the FIve delivers truly special sound quality, it’s somewhat limited in functionality. It’s not a smart speaker, and like other home models from the company, it’s WiFi only, with no Bluetooth connectivity. 
But because the Five integrates smoothly and seamlessly in a whole-house system with other Sonos products, those features can be added by including a Sonos One (for smart speaker chops, including voice command) or a Sonos Move or Roam wireless portable speaker (for smart speaker capability as well as Bluetooth streaming) to your Sonos system.

As the company’s largest and most expensive model, the Sonos Five, which is only slightly changed from the previous Play:5, is an instant classic. It achieves stereo sound from a single, sizable box that can serve as the heart of a flexible multiroom system to route music throughout your home.
Our testers report that the Sonos Five simply sounds spectacular, with solid bass and crystalline trebles that let you hear the subtle detail of instruments ranging from the growl of a double bass to the shimmer of a ride cymbal. Our testers give the Five an Excellent rating for sound quality—our rarely bestowed top grade—when two Fives are paired in stereo. Please note that Sonos’ flagship is WiFi-only. You can’t just pair it to your phone through Bluetooth. Instead, you control streaming through the Sonos app.

If you're looking for a beastly behemoth to anchor your multi-speaker system, look no further than the Sonos Five. This recently redesigned speaker offered both the loudest sound and best quality in our testing, earning it top marks in fullness, bass power, and overall clarity. We also love that it nests perfectly within the Sonos ecosystem, which in our opinion, is the best and most convenient platform for building and managing a multi-speaker system. 
One downside of Sonos speakers is that they lack Bluetooth connectivity. Although this isn't a big deal in most instances, it won't be useful anywhere there isn't WiFi, or if your WiFi goes down &#40;Apple users can work around this with AirPlay&#41;. Also, the top-shelf sound comes at a hefty price. Finally, this new speaker is one of the company's first that is not compatible with its older models. The only non-compatible devices are from the very early days of the company and thus shouldn't affect most customers, but if you do own older Sonos products, make sure to check that they're compatible with the latest version of the Five. Overall, if you are willing to pay a premium for best-in-class sound quality and can make do without a Bluetooth connection, the Five definitely deserves a place in your living room.

 Well, that's the point is that i'm not i'm not snobbish enough to dismiss things out of hand without first trying them. So if you, if you dig that attitude that i have that, i will try something just for kicks actually and i'll add this. Is that, basically, my patreon supporters enabled this video because they give me a budget to go out and buy stuff that i can make videos about and they paid for these loudspeakers and i'll, be giving these two fives back to my patreon community next month so yeah. If you dig all of that, then please subscribe to this channel and as always, thank you ever so much for watching 

 We'Ve got playback controls and then the back we've got power, socket ethernet and an analog input, and that's it and i haven't even been using the ethernet. I'Ve been using these wi-fi. So the only thing i need to connect to get this up and running is just the power now i would never ever recommend you buy one of these on its own. Why not well because it doesn't do proper stereo

 So you can see one behind me here and this one is going to go there. So sonos call a pair of fives the two room pro set and i guess they're assuming that most people would use. You know one five in one room and one in another, but i'm interested in stereo pairing because, as i've said before, because of stereo imaging and pairing, these two behind me is just a piece of cake inside the app and i was up and running within five Minutes you know playing music and i found like in my six meter by five meter room that i got. But i don't love using them, i mean for me if i'm streaming to the lsx, i'm going to use roon or i'm going to use my xiaomi streamer or i'm going to use spotify connect, i'm never going to use the the kef apps really to stream kobo

SONOS Five or KEF LSX?

 I suppose were I to buy a third, they would.  Connectivity next. You need a NAS drive to play your own music, if it's on a remote, networked, but normal drive. Mine is, so I am reduced to playing what's in the laptop, or youtube

 I had thought that two of these would provide a rich, robust sound, in particular for opera. They do not, to my ear. I find the aural quality to be somewhat unfocussed and not as rich as I hoped, even with the volume cranked up to maximum.

Sound first: our home has one extremely large room for which I bought a pair. It is a skinny rectangle. I had thought that two of these would provide a rich, robust sound, in particular for opera. They do not, to my ear

Over-hyped for sound, setup, ease of access.

. You have your three woofers and you have your three tweeters.. The ones on the outside are kind of angled

 If you do change your mind when you change the orientation of this it'll actually change its sound characteristics.. So after you're done your Trueplay tuning, then you can leave it this way., But if you decide to turn it this way again, you'll actually hear the sound change

. I think that it almost sounds like it has a subwoofer attached to it.. It plays nice and loud

, So everything sounded great to me.. Again, the bass response was awesome. And if you do, the Trueplay tuning do what I did to really hear the difference

Hello guys,   


I run a fitness studio that uses SONOS to provide music to my patrons. There are some pros and cons obviously in using an internet based music system for a business but thats another topic.   


Lately ive been having internet issues on the ISP end of things. My internet will drop for 30mins to an hour every once in a while and when it does, obviously the music will stop playing until the internet comes back on. My ISP (Spectrum), is coming out the 2nd time this week to see wtf is going on. In the interest of peace of mind, I'd like to set up a backup internet source for the SONOS to connect to in the event my internet drops so that the music continues to play without interruption. Is this even possible on the SONOS end of things?  I know you can register multiple SSID's but will it automatically connect to the next SSID on the list in the event the current one drops?  


As far as backup internet solutions go, I was thinking of setting up a mobile hotspot that will always be on so that my devices connect to the hotspot automatically when the internet drops. SONOS tech support does not recommend using a hotspot but I am only considering doing so as a backup. It seems that this part of the solution is possible but I'm at a loss in terms of whether or not SONOS will be able to work in this way.

&amp;#x200B;

Does anyone know if this would work or if there are any other solutions that don't involve me abandoning the SONOS system all together?

&amp;#x200B;

Thanks.

Needing a backup internet source for SONOS to keep music playing without interruption.

This requires the Sonos 2 app to control so I had to get an entire new tablet because my old one did not support the Sonos 2 app. I don't like that Sonos can fade out a speaker for compatibility with devices..

 I guess it's saving my ear drums so I'm not complaining. Lastly, for streaming aux input and tv, I had to hard wire ethernet to my speakers because it suffers from temporary sound drops often no matter how good your signal is.

 I would say for tv and movie watching they are more then enough. But listening to music, I sometimes wish they were just a bit louder. I guess it's saving my ear drums so I'm not complaining.

Very Good but not Great. I've invested over $5000 in Sonos for my home.

If you want to use a Sonos Device with Vinyl, then I would personally recommend getting a pair of the Sonos Fives as that is the only Sonos Device that has a line-in port that allows you to connect a vinyl player to the Sonos Five via a 3.5mm line-in cable.   


You can actually use a pair of Sonos Fives as rear surround speakers & is a solid replacement for a Sub as that will get you the following benefits:  


Deep Rich Bass  


Proper Surround Sound Effect  


Wider Soundstage

We are moving to a new house in a few months and I was thinking to set up a Sonos Arc with One SL as rears.

However, I am a big fan of playing some Vinyl and was researching how to connect phono to the Arc. But some sources seem contradicting and some don't seem to answer my question unambiguously.

Can I get my LP player to connect to the Arc in any way and have it's sound over ally speakers? (Of course I am using a preamp with it...)
