Are you a Sonos owner? I'd love to hear about your experience!
I recently had the pleasure of spending some time in a Bed and Breakfast that had a full Sonos system throughout the house. Ever since then, I've been a bit underwhelmed with my poor man's equivalent (a Google Home Mini in every room).
Right around the time Sonos announced the Beam soundbar, I came to the realization that the issues I've had with my Vizio soundbar aren't a one-time defect, and are instead a fundamental incompatibility with my TV. (Basically, my soundbar will randomly power off when connected to my TV, even when sound is playing). I'm hoping that the Beam doesn't have the same issue, so I'm considering getting the Beam and two Play:1s to replace my current 5.1 system.
I'm curious: for those of you with Sonos speakers (both in the home theater and outside!), what are your experiences? What are some of the things you love, and what are some of the things you wish Sonos would improve?
The software is mediocre but the sound is nice. Doesn't work on Linux.
Seconding this. My office Sonos sounds pretty good and can pump out surprising volume for its small size. But the controller software leaves a lot to be desired.
If you're at all privacy conscious, be aware that whenever Sonos updates their privacy policy or terms of service, you have to accept or else you'll stop receiving updates and your product may eventually cease to work.
