Hey Guys,

Noticed on the BOSE deal that the Play:5 was reduced + 25% off making is $412.50 free delivery or CnC which is an absolute bargain! An additional 25% off will be discounted at checkout

A new generation Play:5 has just been announced so probably clearing stock!

Black: http://www.myer.com.au/shop/mystore/speakers-docks/s-p5b-pla…
White: http://www.myer.com.au/shop/mystore/speakers-docks/s-p5w-pla…

Edit: Didn't notice OP on the original deal https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/214561 mentioned Sonos in the description :/

Edit2: Delivery doesn't appear to be available, just Click & Collect - I assumed that the "Free Delivery over $100" banner applied here.

Edit3: Thanks to vaibhavkapoor Only available for collection from WA: Perth, Karinnup, SA: Adelaide, QLD: Carindale, Mt Gravatt.

    I would not recommend the Sonos Play:5, because you can't easily use it to stream your computer's audio or as a bluetooth speaker, as it requires clunky workarounds that never worked for me

    • stirlo on 09/10/2015 - 12:06

      I have one and they're great., The whole point is that it's standalone and works without needing a PC.

    • XeKToReX on 09/10/2015 - 12:08

      It has line in, plug that in and select it in the app?

    • djvkool on 09/10/2015 - 12:46

      Umm, sorry, it is as easy as installing the Sonos controller on your PC/laptop (if you have the music files stored in your PC) or even easier if your music files are stored on your NAS - just use the software/app controller to point where it is…

      …or am I misunderstanding what you are trying to do?

      • SteveAndBelle on 09/10/2015 - 13:12

        I think BlahBleh just wants to use it like any old Wireless Speaker which of course it isn't. It's a far more advanced device and while not as 'simple' as a $10 Bluetooth Speaker it isn't even in the same league and blows its competitors away with its functionality, sound quality and of course scalability.

        • djvkool on 09/10/2015 - 13:14

          Totally agreed, and when Sonos makes the portable version with bluetooth capabilities, then that would be prefect

        • blahbleh on 09/10/2015 - 17:50

          Given that it called the "PLAY:5 Wireless Speaker" on their website, I would have hoped that it could be used as a wireless speaker.

          As it stands, you can stream music from your computer, but there is very little in the way of workable solutions for streaming real-time audio from movies, games, etc. There are paid DLNA apps for Windows, but they result in a delay of a second or two for the speaker.

          So people should be aware that it is not a wireless speaker for a computer.

          That does not mean that it's a bad speaker, but I would not describe it as a functional "wireless speaker" (for anything other than just listening music).

    • Associatedkml22 @ MYER on 09/10/2015 - 13:51

      explained?

      Wait, you're down-rating the Play:5 for something that it was never designed to do? Who's fault is that?
      Sonos are not a bluetooth speakers. None of them even have bluetooth radios!

      Don't get me wrong, I would love to be able to wirelessly stream PC Audio out to my Sonos units, but that's a far cry from what these units were actually designed to do.

      For real, Sonos is one of the only pieces of tech in my house that my Wife actually enjoys using. I've never heard one complaint about things not working.

      • blahbleh on 09/10/2015 - 17:55
        +1

        See above. I do use it as a speaker and the quality is good, but the device itself a "far cry" from what it potentially could be at a $412.50 price point, and it is advertised as a "wireless speaker" by the manufacturer.

        I don't consider a 1s latency good enough for a wireless speaker (as it ruins movies, TV shows, games and sports) so people should consider that before making their purchase.

        The line-in works fine if that's considered a workable solution for a wireless speaker.

    Great price on an excellent product! I'm away for work and have it hooked up in my hotel room with an apple airport express. Have setup my own wifi network in the room so I can stream everything to it.

    • TimU on 09/10/2015 - 14:00

      You brought/bought a Play:5 for your hotel room? That's dedication.

      • blandest on 09/10/2015 - 14:26

        Hahah no. I brought it from home. I did but the airport express here though…. Well worth it!

    • Ccrew on 09/10/2015 - 19:46

      I did same thing with Play 1 and cheap Vodafone prepaid pocket wifi. Set it up using the data and worked fine. A bit lighter than airport express. Can't beat Sonos for sound quality.

  • Poolprouk on 09/10/2015 - 12:27

    Bought, only gave me the option to click and collect at Chadstone and Southland in Melbourne. Wouldn't let me use free delivery for some reason?

    • haystack on 09/10/2015 - 12:40

      Myer have told me in the past that Sonos don't let retailers do online sales then deliver.

    • XeKToReX on 09/10/2015 - 12:58

      Oh wow, maybe no delivery, apologies!

      Be careful, buying your first SONOS device is a slippery slope! Once you buy one you'll want more & more :) Bought my first unit back in 2007/8 and within a year or two I'd SONOS'd nearly every room of the house! Testament to them, the first unit is still functioning perfectly even after all these years. I mostly run their 'CONNECT' and 'AMP' units through other gear and only have one or two 'PLAY' units here & there but from what I can tell the build quality hasn't slipped so you too can look forward to many years of SONOS enjoyment :)

      • myfeetarehappy on 09/10/2015 - 13:44

        Thanks for your thoughts. Hopefully they will discount the Play 1 unit when it is due for replacement. A couple of those would be handy.

        • SteveAndBelle on 09/10/2015 - 14:37

          I bought most of my SONOS gear direct form the US and saved an absolute fortune in the process. That was 6-7 years ago now and back when the RRP here was way OTT and overly strictly controlled by 'Playback Systems'. At one point I was buying US SONOS gear direct for less than half the local price but now that it's all become a lot more popular with the new 'all-in-one' type units (PLAY:1-5, PlayBar & SUB) and sold in normal retailers instead of just fancy Hifi stores the pricing has equalised a lot.

          Save up for a couple of PLAY:1s and run them in a stereo pair. They're pretty amazing!

          @SteveAndBelle:
          I do paired play 1s. They sound fantastic. Beautiful range and depth. They are bass neutral so they could be a bit light for some peoples taste though

          Wish the play ones could have a line in
          Can't use my free Apple Music with Sonos yet ;(
          Spotify works a treat though

        Agreed, started with a play 1 last year and now I have 2x Play 1s, a connect and a connect amp! This is addictive, I'm looking for a second amp ATM haha

    From Myer's online chat consultant "this offer is only available for collection at specific stores, i can see on the slock levels that Perth, Carindale, Adelaide Karinnup and Mt Gravatt have stock available. Sorry it is unavailable in Melbourne. Can only be purchased as click and collect , because it is special offer for stores that have excess stock available"

  • Jcinq on 09/10/2015 - 14:36

    None left in Adelaide.

  • aec on 09/10/2015 - 14:38

    the new play5 looks much more modern. hope they will release it to the market very soon. ideally a new play 3.

    • djvkool on 09/10/2015 - 16:26

      $799 though, much more expensive than the original Play5

      • BellaWii on 09/10/2015 - 16:30

        Read somewhere that the RRP is going to $749 but i could be wrong.

      • aec on 10/10/2015 - 00:22

        799 vs 412.5

        nearly double, but sonos gen1 has been around for quite a few years. it is time to update it. i would pay 800 for a new model which is arguably better than the old model.

        • SickDmith on 11/10/2015 - 22:10

          I could not find if it still got audio in…

  • tkboi on 09/10/2015 - 15:07

    Think i bought the last one in Adelaide! good price for the unit!

  • lovelyjubbly on 10/10/2015 - 09:57

    I've got 2 Play 1s in stereo, any point in adding this Play 5 to them?

    Or would it be best in a separate room?

    • XeKToReX on 10/10/2015 - 10:47

      Use this to replace the stereo pair and have 2 more smaller zones with single Play:1's!

    • tooslow8888 on 11/11/2015 - 11:25

      Add a subwoofer instead. You'll have the full dynamic + stereo range.

    Sold out in QLD :(

  • shielded on 11/10/2015 - 23:42

    I ordered one for click and collect at Carindale, QLD on Friday. They had three in stock. Went to pick it up today and they'd sold mine to someone, even though I'd paid in full on Friday. Not happy.

    • unicorn888 on 11/10/2015 - 23:44

      I went to Garden City, even show unit also sold. One of the staff admitted he bought 3

      • myfeetarehappy on 12/10/2015 - 13:49

        BASTARDS! lol

        Seriously though that does suck.

  • shielded on 12/10/2015 - 10:46

    I'd been told by the online team that there were none left anywhere in QLD. Just rang Pacific Fair, they had one left. They're shipping it out seeing as they screwed up. I'd ordered it Friday, was told I couldn't pick it up until Saturday, and couldn't get there until Sunday. The Carindale staff member's response when I questioned why they had sold it out from under me - "you should have picked it up yesterday". A+ customer service right there.

  • myfeetarehappy on 12/10/2015 - 12:17

    My Melbourne purchase was cancelled due to "out of stock" and they are refunding me.

    Shame I will probably give the whole Sonos thing a miss now as regular pricing is too exxy for me to justify.

    Eventually there will be some properly workable system that allows you to run multi-room audio to existing speaker systems.

      I would suggest that given that they're replacing the 5 soon that others who sell the 5 will also be discounting soon. Therefore keep an eye out at David Jones or JB Hi FI or anyone else that sells the 5.

      I picked up mine from Chaddy at the weekend and am very impressed with it.

    • SteveAndBelle on 12/10/2015 - 14:55

      Hey 'MyFeetAreHappy', I love SONOS and I'd find it very difficult to replace my SONOS system… however I did try a couple of the Muzo Cobblestones about 6 months ago and found them to be an excellent alternative… and a LOT cheaper to boot! Looks like you can get them from Amazon for a touch under $80AUD: http://www.amazon.com/MUZO-Cobblestone-Wi-Fi-Audio-Receiver/… These are purely music playing devices though so you'll still need to connect them to an Amp & Speakers or Amplifier Speakers eg. computer speakers.

      • myfeetarehappy on 18/10/2015 - 23:07

        Thanks I have checked them out based on your suggestion. Look good but ideally after something I can also control with Harmony Ultimate. I have suggested that to the manufacturer LOL
