Product Information

You can have the best of both worlds however, by having an Alexa Echo device and Sonos device in the same room.

Built to last
With robust build quality, the One is not only built to last but also ideal for use in rooms with wide temperature changes - such as conservatories. After the announcement of the Playbar in February 2013, the product's specifications were released by the FCC on 10 September. Up top is where you’ll find all of the touch-sensitive controls that allow you to control volume, and turn the microphone off and on—handy if you or someone you know doesn’t want the speaker listening for a hotword for whatever reason.The Sonos Controller app mainly controls and sets up the speaker, but can also connect other music services like Spotify, Apple Music, TuneIn and others. However, in the realm of technology, standing still is equivalent to moving backward, so the original Play:5 was discontinued and replaced by a new model after six years and numerous software updates. Besides being compatible for SonosNet, the speaker can also be paired with another Play:1 to make a stereo pair, in which both act as a separate audio channel, also being Sonos' first mono speaker.

The new Beam’s internal layout is much the same as its predecessor’s, but the quintet of front-facing drivers are configured into five separate arrays rather than three. I believe you’ll agree that the Play 5 (Gen2) with touch-sensitive controls has a more polished, futuristic appearance, with clean, continuous lines. The driver setup, which includes six matching Class D amplifiers and nearly three times the acoustic horsepower of its predecessor, accounts for a large part of this. With vocals, there's no quality change in the overall sound when the instruments move further back in the mix. What started as a groovy new characteristic in your smartphone is fast blossoming into a whole new environment of products.You may operate your PLAY:5 remotely using an Android device, iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad for increased convenience. Obviously, we know which one of the two models your wallet is going to prefer, but given the extra features that the Gen 2 has, it might be more than a little sensible to fork out the extra cash for some all-important future-proofing. As with the original Beam, the Beam Gen 2 is also available in black and white, but you also get appropriately coloured power and HDMI cables to match this time.

As you near the high limit of its output, the new PLAY:5 retains its smoothness, whilst the original begins to get a little harsh.

Sonos®, the leading manufacturer of wireless HiFi, today introduced the Sonos PLAY:1™, a compact and powerful wireless speaker that transforms music listening at home. Even though this isn’t a waterproof Bluetooth speaker, it’s humidity resistant; so as long as you have a safe power outlet to plug into, you can keep one of these in your bathroom.Unlike many 2nd generation devices from various manufacturers, Sonos’ Play 5 (Gen2) was an upgrade over the first version. With its smooth good looks, the Sonos One is designed to look every bit as good in years to come as it does now. Some products may not show what Gen they are, so look for Sonos S1 Required next to any products that are not compatible with S2.

At this point, I thought that if there was a tool that combined both the Spinorama with the room acoustics data, it'd be extremely useful.

Given its tried and tested prowess, it’s no wonder that the official announcement in 2021 of its successor and direct replacement, the Sonos Beam Gen 2, caused quite the stir. The Play:1's sound is just as weighty and solid as we remember, with plenty of power and punch for a small speaker.
