Hardware OK, software KO. But there is a solution
The hardware is quite good, enough for music on the side. But the software is a disaster, 20 years ago that would have been OK, you may still be able to use for streaming, but for a music fan with a large collection is absolute crap. Fortunately, you can use a Squeezebox server on which you have installed the plug-in "AirPlay Bridge". This makes it possible to use the app iPeng, for example, and you can control Squeezebox and SONOS. And so you can still enjoy your collection in the modern era.
Pro
- Relatively good sound
Contra
- Bad software
Super sound for the size!
Absolutely awesome product! Easy to set up, together with the sub-woofer a dream! Also works with Spotify and not only with Apple stream service!
Sonos account required + location tracking
Creating an account, and enabling location tracking is technically NOT required in order to use a wireless speaker. Sonos is harvesting personal information (location, IP address, email address). Stay away if you care about your privacy.
I agree that in some contexts, having access to the location is nice to have, but it should NOT be mandatory to turn on location tracking in order to use (or register) the speakers.
If you buy a speaker, you should be able to use it out of the box, without having to register for any unnecessary online service.Contra
- It is required to create an account in order to use the speakers
- Location services required to use speakers
- No Privacy

Pro
- clear sound
- Home cinema feeling
Hardware top - app flop
The product itself is tip top, but the app that is needed for it is unfortunately underground and it gets worse with every update (for several years now). The speakers can no longer be operated satisfactorily with this app and are therefore also unusable. I therefore advise against buying a Sonos product.
Pro
- Sound quality
- quality
- Product in general
Contra
- Sonos app not usable
