    I find the best time to buy Sonos is when you can stack 20-30% off deals with 20-30% cashback. Happens with Good Guys 3 or 4 times a year.

      It’s not shovelware, they’ve just forced an app update for everyone that borked functionality which caused a massive loss in users and the CEO getting fired.

        We used to install Sonos at client sites for what was a really good audio and user experience. There have been so many problems following that update and it's cost us thousands to address. We won't touch Sonos ever again.

          Probably the network. My system is 80% wired with Ethernet and the app issues have all mostly calmed down now. I'd say it's almost at parity with where it was previously.
          Maybe take the opportunity to add some Ubiquiti and Cat6 cable runs to your installs.

            @Stormwalker: Yeah but … their main selling point was bullet proof, simple wireless multi room sound. Having to hardwire kinda defeats the purpose for me. At very least it’s a big change to the use case.

          • banana365 on 21/02/2025 - 02:45

            @Stormwalker: Haha, no. We're a company that does large network installations (fibre, copper, WiFi, microwave) with various services/capabilities layered on top. We know what we're doing. We believed Sonos did too. They did for a while, then stuffed up big time.

            When "usability" was a major selling point as you have potentially hundreds of new users cycling through every year, you really need for it to be the simple, dependable user experience it started as. Home gear you can kind of put up with being "almost good" but not in this kind of environment.

              • banana365 on 21/02/2025 - 13:15

                @andrew229: Not yet. That type of offering is seen, for now, as too high risk. The Wiim gear looks interesting, but not enough to dig too deep at the moment. That side of things was largely the "nice to have" part of any deal but it's not really our core business.

      App is still not great but improving, the initial setup still sucks and is hit and miss depending on your wifi network.

      If you're chasing Sonos go look at your local Cashies, I found a Ray for $180 for the bedroom. Seems theres a few of them floating around from people looking to get away from Sonos.

    Imagine buying speakers that can be broken at the discretion of the company selling them.

    Get a Wiim and go your own way, can do multi-room etc and all platform agnostic.

    • playaz91 on 20/02/2025 - 13:59

      Doesn't Wiim still use an app for configuration?

      • caitsith01 on 20/02/2025 - 14:30

        Yep, an app with no account required that works locally once installed. There's also a public API so you can hook anything you want into it in theory.

        And you can hook it up to a proper amp and speakers, or powered speakers, or whatever you like, so worst case Wiim goes insane and kills their app you have lost the price of the control hardware but not the whole hifi system.

        Dunno, given Sonus' recent record (and my impression that dollar for dollar you can get vastly better audio performance from component gear) I find it surprising that anyone would want it. But I guess for 'Apple' type people the idea that you just plug it in and it works is attractive.

        • 367 on 20/02/2025 - 18:25
          +2

          Sadly Wiim is not immune from this. Last year they removed the AirPlay broadcast capability from the hardware with a forced firmware update (probably for legal reasons). No problem if you weren't using that feature, but if you were… too bad

          The only really safe alternative is to use open source software running on a mini-PC or a Pi with an audio hat.

          • Arsenal on 21/02/2025 - 10:29

            @367: I've never used Wiim, but my impression was that the main reason they existed was to add Airplay 2 functionality to existing speakers? What do they do now if that functionality was removed?

            • caitsith01 on 21/02/2025 - 11:16

              @Arsenal: Many (most) people don't care about Airplay? Wiim lets you stream local media from a server, use Tidal, Spotify connect and about 20 other platforms. As in, you can just go through the Spotify app and choose the Wiim device as the output device and it just works.

              • Arsenal on 21/02/2025 - 11:31

                @caitsith01: That sounds exactly like how I've always used Airplay to me… but I guess it is good if you use Android.

            • 367 on 21/02/2025 - 17:56

              @Arsenal: It can still receive AirPlay, so your scenario will still work

              It used to be able to broadcast AirPlay as well from a digital or analog input. You could use it to sync up multiple AirPlay and non-AirPlay speakers, or to get audio from a non-AirPlay device like a CD player and send it to AirPlay speakers. That's been taken away.

          You can't deny that Sonos are doing things that other audio companies are not, hence their popularity.

      I like mine also, there aren’t many competitors in the battery portable & wifi connection space. The sound quality is good but not magical like some would have you believe (same with all Sonos products).

      Wifi support is very good because it lets me do multi room audio with my stereo via Airplay, and it doesn’t cut out if I walk outside Bluetooth range. It has Bluetooth support for when I’m out of house too.

      Absolutely unhinged pricing for a bluetooth speaker.

      Because it's not just a BT speaker. It can act as that if you wish, but it also acts as part of the multi-room wifi system. So in my case I have a pair of Era 300's and a pair of Moves in my living area. Then when I head out to my outside living space I simply bring the Moves with me and I now have seamless multi-room sound. Same for any other space in the house. There's no other solution that I know of that can do this so easily.

  • bbinc on 21/02/2025 - 08:59

    Ended up with four Sonos One’s years ago. They used to do what I wanted, using my own library running off a NAS. The famous app update removed that functionality and for months all support did was to refer to the original instructions for how to access your library. They refused to acknowledge the issue. They eventually restored the library function, but every update loses it again. Updates are mostly compulsory and usually brick the system requiring hours of refiguring.
    They make great door stoppers though.
    Would never trust them, or any speakers relying on a connection controlled by the selling company again.

    • 1st-Amendment on 21/02/2025 - 11:04

      relying on a connection controlled by the selling company again.

      So you don't own a phone, computer, TV, Car, Security or home automation system, or pretty much any electronic system from the last ten years when OTA updates became standardised?
