The sound is much richer and fuller using this kind of set-up - it's another huge step up.

The combination of the two means you get excellent detail, with that full thumping bass that a lot of tracks thrive on. If a stereo pair is great, a stereo pair with a SUB is amazing. And cleverly, by moving a lot of the bass on to the SUB, the Play:1s can actually go louder, so you get clearer and louder sound all round. What's clever about Sonos' system is that adding the SUB automatically tunes the EQ on the subwoofer and your Play:1 speakers so the transition between the two matches perfectly. It may be expensive, but it's one of our favourite subwoofers ever, particularly as you can lie it on its side and slip it under a bed or sofa, so you get proper bass but without the issue of working out where to put it. If you want that proper low-end drive, you can also add a Sonos SUB into the mix. Overall, we have to say that while one Play:1 sounds great, two is our preferred combination. Of course, two Play:3s sound better again, although the difference isn't quite as immediate or obvious and you'll pay a lot more for the privilege. We found classical tracks sounded that bit more detailed and involved as well.Īs a comparison, we think that two Play:1s are better than a single Play:3, largely because of the stereo separation you get by being able to place the speakers apart. Rock tracks just have that extra thump and immediacy that helps you get into them. Pairing two Play:1s together also delivers far better bass. Wish You Were here is played in all of its majesty, while Enough Space's intro swirls and loops around you just the way it should. It works flawlessly and as such Sonos is still the benchmark to which rivals are compared.Gone are any of the minor issues we had with a single Play:1. You can play different music from different sources in different rooms or group as many as you like together for a party type mode. Although you can use a Play:5 or another speaker as a lone speaker, place one or more in other rooms and things come to life. Really, the main unique selling point of the Sonos system is the multi-room capabilities. You can also use the Play:5, if you have two, as rear speakers in conjunction with the Playbar, but the Play:1 is far better suited to this job. Un temporizador de reposo es una función que apaga el dispositivo después de un lapso de tiempo predeterminado. You can normally get two Play:1 speakers as a bundle for this purpose. El dispositivo tiene la opción de silenciar/activar una conversación directamente desde el dispositivo. We’d recommend doing this with the Play:1 or even Play:3 if you’re thinking of going down this route. We’ve only got one but this is likely to be a little excessive for most users, not to mention expensive. If you wish, you can buy two Play:5 speakers and use them as a stereo pair, horizontally or vertically. Its definition is ‘the same or higher sampling frequency and bit depth of a physical CD, which is 16-bit/44.1kHz’ which is not High-Res if you ask us. It’s one of the only downsides and while Deezer Elite claims to offer High-Res on Sonos, don’t be fooled.
