Day Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Are they good? What's the sound like? I hear you have to use the Sono app to control them with Apple Music, is that a ball ache or does it run smoothly? Play One's are they loud enough with just the one, or do you really need 2? Is there better out there for the money? Talk to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry Ram Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Have mates who have them and love it.. The sound is pretty good as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I've got a play 1, easy enough to use Apple music via the Sonos app, same functionality just a different skin. Depends where you're using it regards the sound quality, ours is in the conservatory so not the best place for it acoustically but volume isn't a problem. Once you've downloaded the app, you can use it on any Sonos system, so if you don't like your friends choice of music, you can soon change it!

froggg Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 @David go into richer sounds for a demo, wired speakers are better they will tell you, equally they will happily sell you a wireless setup. I can play all my Spotify stuff through my old hifi via a DAC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in a new build terraced, walls like bog paper, not looking for a sound system to match the O2 arena, just pick up my phone and click play. Enough bass to not sound like a hamster in a wheel, but not enough to vibrate the neighbours sofa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealhantsram Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Totally awesome. App is easy to use. We have one in the kitchen. Pondering Christmas present to self to get the new Sonos ONE with voice control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pondering Christmas present to self to get the new Sonos ONE with voice control. Just seen that’s been announced, only £20 price difference as well. Might hold off to see if the Play:1 price drops further when they are released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsbottom Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 My barbers have a Play 1 in their shop, they don't look much, but they sound great, and can play Apple Music, Spotify, Internet Radio, Deezer, pretty much anything. Already setting aside some money from the new kitchen budget to invest in one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ketteringram Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 @David Did you go any further with this? Try one in a shop or at home? Someone at work was raving about them. I was thinking about trying one. One of the main things it would be for would be listening upstairs, to radio 5 and 2, evenings and weekends. Now a very quick bit of research says you can't listen to BBC live radio. That could be nonsense, but that's what I'm reading. Some say you can, through tunein, but the reviews of that are awful. If I was to get the Sonos, I'd also use it for Spotify or whatever, but also BBC radio. Maybe I should just buy a better portable Dab radio??

I have two and for now that is true for iPhone at least, although they have announced support for Airplay is coming so once that is out you should in theory be able to listen to any audio. Not sure about Android and how it works over there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not expecting miracles for that money, but it's got to better than a phone and a cheap Bluetooth speaker right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds great to me, no complaints at all, loads of welly in them, don’t even get to go quarter volume as the neighbours throw a wobbler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ketteringram Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Wow. Had basically decided to go and get a couple of these tomorrow, and then I had a look at the Sonos app! I presume they are talking only about the android version, but if you can, take a look at Google play store, and the reviews of the app. Is it necessary to use the app, or can I just play Spotify or Google play music direct to the speaker??

ThePrisoner Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I’ve been tempted by a Sonos but I’ve got an old Airport Express hooked up to my amp and hifi speakers. I’d say go this route if you have a hifi system already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
