Yes - sadly mate I would suggest you send it back if it isn't too late.Originally Posted by PSRB
It's not *too* bad but their app is buggy at times and really struggles if you don't have super fast and consistent broadband. My biggest issue is that you are tied to the speakers and that Sonos doesn't really offer anything that any set of Bluetooth speakers doesn't other than the ability to synchronize rooms easily which is something that we rarely use.
Why did you decide to buy it?

Their app is supposed to be utterly brilliant, not sure how long ago you used it.
I do have stupidly fast broadband, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered.
I currently have a Denon AV receiver and crap little Panasonic speakers with a decent sub that I got off Ears. The Sonos sub is supposed to be awesome and I now have full surround with no wires. It has 100 day no quibble returns on all Sonos stuff, so I guess if it's not that great I'll send it back.
I use it every day mate. It's OK but as I said, buggy. The entire app will hang from time to time and the music stops while you wait for it to recover. Grouping rooms, as an example, routinely hangs. I live rurally and my broadband is around 18MB however it is unstable so I may be experiencing something you will never see.
But you rarely actually use Sonos, you spend most of your time in Spotify or Tune In Radio or what ever apps you want to use through Sonos. If you buy a speaker with Bluetooth and have Spotify the only advantage of Sonos is that you can sync rooms more easily, something we virtually never use.
I've bought it more for the telly than for music, I have UE Boom in the kitchen which is more than sufficient for that job. Ordered the Playbar, Sub and 2x Sonos Ones.I use it every day mate.

My broadband is up in the 50's MB consistently
If I had to do it over again, I'd just but one of these for the main room and smaller Bluetooth speakers for bedrooms and such

I've got the Sky Devialet system in the playroom and that's excellent value for £250!
The playbar and sub are pretty decent, if you're looking to boost the TV.
As WES said, the muti-room thing doesn't really pan out for me. You don't often go to the effort of syncing up speakers in your bedroom, bathroom, garden shed. It still boils down to a couple of rooms, tops.
I've often toyed with the idea of forking out for one of these. Reviews are great and if you're not into throwing 3 or 4 grand at a top system set up and like the idea of one box of tricks..

I'm not really an audiophile, just like simplicity and general ease of use plus wireless surround Sound. If I don't like Sonos stuff I will just send it back and get an upgraded AV receiver and KEF speakers
I do like the look of that Naim system but to be honest I'm quite happy listening to music on my UE or via my Bose headphones
Remind me to ask you for advice.
