But when you look at the audio quality and the other functions, you might not be able to find any difference. If you are an audiophile then both the speakers will sound the same to you. The Sonos wireless sound system is simply one of the best-sounding, most reliable and flexible there is.

For the very best results, though, linking one component to an Ethernet connection will allow you to take advantage of the famous Sonos 'Mesh' system.

At Sonos, design is taken seriously, and every inch of the Play:5 is there for a reason. It can be oriented in three different ways: horizontally, vertically, or both ways up. As a consequence, the layout has to work from all angles, and it leans closer towards the Sonos Play:3’s more basic appearance.

Key to the original Beam's success has been simplicity of design and streamlined functionality that, remarkably for its size, has overcome two of the usual limitations of compact speakers: sonic scale and weight. If you thought time would have aged the Play:1, think again.

Surely there's no "too low" with music, unless it's sub-10Hz and causing undesirable physiological effects. After all, they went to the trouble of building 64' pipes into the largest organs. In fact the displacement of the lowest bass into the Sub allows the P5/2s to breathe more in the mid range.On February, for Blue Note Records' 75th anniversary, the company collaborated with Blue Note to release the Play:1 Blue Note limited edition speaker, with a quantity run of 4,100 [4] and was released on March 5. [5] On June, Sonos also announced the Play:1 Tone limited edition speaker, with a quantity run of 5,000 and was released July 31.
