Tremendous, spacious sound, Composed at volume, Punchy bass
Less connectivity than Bluetooth rivals, No high-res support
With the new Play: 5, Sonos has truly delivered on its quest for a new flagship speaker. It has overhauled the design to really push the boundaries of what we expect from a wireless speaker. For current Sonos owners with the cash to spend, adding this to...
The second-generation Sonos Play:5 is a sleek, well-designed Wi-Fi speaker that delivers rich sound for its size and strong bass. It offers the full Sonos wireless experience, controllable from iPhone, iPad and Android apps, with compatibility with nearly
Fairly pricey, especially if you want to buy a second one for stereo sound
While fairly pricey the second-gen Play:5 is the best-sounding Sonos speaker yet...
There's an awful lot to like about the Sonos Play:5. The only real disappointment is the lack of Bluetooth support when rivals, such as the Bose SoundTouch 10, are now introducing speakers that have support for both internet music and Bluetooth connected...
Abstract: It's been a long time coming, but the brand new Sonos Play:5 has finally landed, replacing its aged predecessor which launched way back in 2009. As the top dog of Sonos' multi-room, Wi-Fi equipped speaker range, it promises supreme sound quality, but can...
No hi-resolution audio support, slightly bass heavy, a little expensive for what's essentially a plastic speaker

Great look, Powerful sound, Truesound is a revelation
Truesound not for all, speaker legs are apparent, Very simple design
Big, powerful sound, Rich bass response, Good detail levels, Crystal clear mids, Easy setup, Flexible design, The best app of its type, Part of probably the best multi-room ecosystem available,
No high-res support, Can now be beaten for outright sound quality and value,
Sonos still has many advantages over Audio Pro, from the breadth of its range to the flawless app and thorough feature set (hi-res support notwithstanding).If you want a complete, substantial multi-room system, there's a strong case to choose the old hand...
Fantastic, warm sound, Looks the business, TruePlay generally helps in certain environments
TruePlay is tricky to set-up, Single app approach can be a pain
Sonos Play:5 – Sound quality Looks are all well and good, but where the new Play:5 lives or dies is in how it sounds. And boy, does this £499 speaker sound fantastic. Sonos speakers have always impressed when it comes to sound quality, but the new Play:5...
