Tech Sonos

You have them all in one room?

 

Curious how much better then 5 sounds than the 3 and if i just had a bunch of 1s everywhere, would I notice what I was missing?

 

Yes, it's a big room, so its stereophonic. I don't think having 1s or 3s would be noticeably different than what I have unless you are a total audiophile.

 

There will be a much higher quality dynamic range with the 5.

 

Wondering if I went with a Play3 in the living room instead of a Play5, would I notice the difference having not heard a 5 before? Going to add a sound bar and woofer later, just going to go with four Play1s randomly spread out thru the house

 

Hold on, going to go back and re read the thread and see if this was brought up already....standby.....

 

Just realized my dumbass had already asked this.

 

Plug an aux cord into the old boombox you and the vatos use to breakdance with on the corner. Then you can put it in the mazda single cab when you and your 7 amigos cram in to go to the job.

 

Thank you sir for your help.

 

Well I went ahead and ordered these. Got 4 Play 1s and a Play 5. Absolutely love them. Whole family is enjoying using these around the house. Highly reccomend these. Can’t wait to finish the tv room and get a sound bar, sub and two more Play 1s to create the surround sound we want.

 

I just got 3 echos because I have apple and it syncs with it better for home automation stuff. The quality of sound isn’t near as good on the Echo but I was really disappointed that when using Spotify I can only listen to it on one speaker. Is it the same on the Sonos? It looks like Spotify treats the Echo’s as seperate units so it only allows me to be on one at a time.

 

Sounds like bose marketing has taken over for good. True audiophiles are a thing of the past. Multiple speakers playing the same signal all over the place is terrible for cancellation. A true audiophile will enjoy a simple 2.1 stereo set up.

 

Haven't been in years but they had a bose store at an outdoor mall in vegas. If you sat through the demo it sounded amazing. Of course they designed the demo to impress.

I've never heard anything Bose sound that good just playing music or a movie.

 

Nice. They're great, right? And I like the steaming services - we use TuneIn and Calm Radio a lot.

 

I have crazy amounts of music in our home iTunes library. So the whole families phones are pretty much loaded with playlists we are constantly making. I loved how easy the SOnos app synced with our iTunes. The kids use Spotify, but my wife and I just play stuff form our library. Loved the ease of setting up the network.

 

Bose is garbage. Midbass is almost non exsistant.

 

No, I know it isn't great. They make it SEEM great by playing to their strengths in the demo.

 

Yep sharp highs and deep lows. God forbid you want to hear a bass drum kick in the 200hz range.

 

In fact, I'm no expert but my JBL 700 Bluetooth headphones (junky but loud?) killed the Bose equivalent at Best Buy. I bought them for the gym and the gym only by the way. I read reviews that said the opposite though.
