I had been looking at the Sonos system for a while, but I've always lacked the reason to switch from my old stereo to Sonos. Six years ago, there was a good opportunity and I have never regretted this step since. In the meantime my system has grown to four One , one Five , a Beam with a Sub mini .
What is Sonos?
Sonos is first and foremost a speaker. They are connected to the router via WLAN or LAN so that there is a connection to the Internet. After that, you can operate your Sonos speaker on the go.
All you need is the Sonos app or the Sonos software . Not only can you start and stop playback, but you can also use Internet radio and streaming services like Apple Music , Spotify or SoundCloud.
The price of the speakers is not only explained by the sound quality, but also by the interaction of several Sonos speakers: Since the boxes are connected to the Internet, they can communicate with each other. If you wish, you can use the app to play something different on all speakers, or the same thing on all of them. You can always play music only on the speaker that is currently in your room.
Future plans
Since a Sonos setup can easily grow over time, I always look for new opportunities to get "just one more" speaker. Luckily for me, Sonos keeps expanding their line-up, so there are more chances for me to pick one up. I am particularly interested in the new Move 2 or the Roam to close my outdoor music gap.
