This entry is written from the 3 sources listed at the bottom of the page. The numbers are our editorial estimates drawn from that material, not measurements, and no statistical sample sits behind them.
It depends on how you will use it. 67% would buy it again, which means roughly 33% would not. The software dependency is the recurring risk.
Sound keeps delivering; confidence in the platform is the variable. That is the honest summary for every Sonos product right now.
The software dependency is the recurring risk. Older Sonos hardware has been deprecated before. Price premium is hard to justify on sound alone.
Worth it for: Existing Sonos households adding a room; People who want good sound from one small unit; Anyone planning a multi-room system. Think twice if: You want a speaker independent of an app; You were affected by the app problems; A Bluetooth speaker would do.
