Sonos roam review Bluetooth#
The other very, very minor knock against the Move's for me, and I know the Play 5s have no Bluetooth at all, but the Moves' cannot be used as a stereo pair via Bluetooth which is a bit of a shame. I also agree about the fantastic WiFi capability and how important that is. As well designed as they are, the Moves' are not designed to be played loudly, and even though I won't often need to play very loudly, I still want to have the capacity and the Play 5s are at this point the most capable designs in that regard that Sonos make.
The Move's sound brilliant, and currently they are adequate without a doubt, but I listen at 70% volume and they are probably at their peak of performance and going past that threshold is likely to get me into compression territory. It is more that if I am going to give up so much SPL capacity moving away from towers supported by two 12" subs, I know that I would want to retain as much SPL capacity as possible. When you are only buying one or two speakers, a shorter lifespan than you get from passive speakers isn't as big of a concern however, once you start sinking in really significant money you have to start thinking about the likely weakest link in the system, which I can only guess is the WiFi components.Ĭlick to expand.Well, I imagine the side firing tweeters are not very necessary in a stereo pair of Play 5s, but that is a bit of an assumption to be sure. I will ask my friend about how long one could expect to have a Sonos system remain serviceable for. I actually am online friends with somebody who has been pretty high up as a Sonos engineering lead so I get access to inside information (within reason, no secrets of course). I think I like the idea of a complete Sonos system, my only concern becomes longevity as with network components baked into the products, they become useless if the components fail, although I hope that they will remain serviceable or even upgradeable in this regard. While I have a large stereo system downstairs, I am finding my listening habits changing and I am questioning whether I will use a large 2.2 system anymore. I am very likely to sell them and get the largest Play 5 (a pair) and add a second Sub 3 and be done.
