  • Elegant, minimalist industrial design
  • Immersive, room‑filling audio performance
  • Easy multi‑room system setup

  • Occasional wi‑fi connectivity issues
  • Limited bluetooth support on models

Sonos earns strong reviews for excellent, room‑filling sound and elegant design, proving the brand is good at delivering clear, powerful audio; however, persistent software friction—glitchy app, Wi‑Fi quirks, and limited Bluetooth on some models—undercuts the experience. Reviews also praise easy multi‑room setup, seamless grouping, and products like Arc, Five, Move, and Era 100, while citing frustrations with app crashes, streaming service limitations, and occasional connectivity or sync issues.

  • I have a pair of Sonos One's. They sound great and also mean I don't need a soundbar for my TV. What more is there to say?!

    Feedback

    Sometimes when playing from my Apple TV the audio can get out of sync with the picture. Also, sometimes my Sonos can be super slow to start playing the first song from from Spotify on my phone. Bluetooth would also be good!

  • Sound system is good, but the app makes me nuts. I can figure out how to add Spotify or playlists. It’s just over engineered.

  • All of the audio in my house is powered through Sonos, and I've never had any issues with it. I really like the sound quality of sonos speakers

  • The speakers are good, but the app is a pain to use. I find it crashes and freezes and is all around kind of unreliable. But then sometimes it’s great! :/

  • Unpopular opinion but my sonos tv sound bars aren’t anything special. They were super expensive. The sound doesn’t seem so much better than a cheaper option.

  • Obviously Sonos is a big player in the sound space. I was surprised at how affordable my sound bar was (for the quality) and I love the design. Sounds great!

  • Do not like how it requires an app to connect to speakers. Additionally, preference to Spotify users and I don’t have Spotify so automatically limits their user base.

  • I have one of these in each room. I find them great when they work properly, but sometimes it is hard to get it to play from your apps rather than the Sonos apps (you have to do the whole sync and unsync situation)... Otherwise sound quality is great and set up is easy.

  • I've cant imagine a lfie without my Sonos... ok that's a bit dramatic but I've been a loyal consumer for at least a decade now and still love them. The sound bar has been the anchor of my living room and the sonos 1 is great for bedrooms

  • Great sounds, good battery time.

    Would like it to be able to connect to multiple devices easier

  • Decent sound, although not the best, a little too heavy on the bass. Glitchy interaction with smart assistant.

    Feedback

    For the price, there are better options out there.

  • They really are that good. Incredibly high sound quality. And the app makes it easy to connect to Sonos speakers wherever you go.

  • I've been using Sonos speakers for years now and have them in many rooms around the house. I think they're awesome. They sound great, the system is easy to use and most of the time, works great. When things don't work great it can be really frustrating and hard to know what to do to fix the issue, but luckily it seems to happen pretty seldomly for me.

  • I love my sonos products that I have at home! They all work flawlessly through the app and I can control all of my products through one app. I also love how easy it is just at the products up through the app and the sound quality of the speaker is is stunning for the price point.

  • They just work so good! They really give great sound, and I have also seen business use them in there lobby! Quality product

  • Sonos are great quality, sleek speakers, however I had so many issues with the connection and ended up switching for Bose after a few years. Whatever speaker I had was Wifi only, so if power was out or Wifi was down, the speaker won't work at all. Besides that, it just disconnected all the time from my phone. I don't have these issues with Bose.

  • Amazing sound, worth the investment. They've recently had some app setbacks but this doesn't affect the quality of their products. I have their arc and two erzas for surround sound. Having experience this sound quality, I don't think I can go back to normal sound.
