*** Official SONOS Thread ***

Guys, sorry for a question that will be out there, but I am struggling with the different responses via Google.
I have bought a couple of Play 1s to add to my current system. Currently, all speakers are just on one system, and I am the only one who uses and controls the music. I want to put the 1s in 2 of my kid's rooms so they can use it for their Apple Music. For them to use the speakers will they need to download the Sonos app, connect to the system which is all automated, how will they access their apple music as it seems to revert to mine? Is that normal?

I know spotify doesn't need the sonos app, they can simply open Spotify, choose music, then 'stream' to the speaker. The speaker does need to be on and it should appear in spotify. The speaker names will be the one you assign when you create 'rooms', so I see 'Living Room' (which is Playbar/sub/play 1s) and 'Sonos Roam' when I do this. Not sure if Apple Music has the same/similar functionality.

I also know that you can add multiple people's accounts in the Sonos app, so if you were using that you can select the correct profile from an account to play music from.
 
I've had an Arc and 2x Era 300 setup for about 6 months. About a week ago, I finally grabbed the Sub Gen. 3 (was on sale and way cheaper than Gen. 4) to add to it.
Super happy with the addition and impact it has made to not just the bass, but overall sound and clarity.

I won't be getting the Arc Ultra just yet this seems a good enough setup.
 
I'm yet to see any comparison of the arc va the ultra in a full surround setup. Every review I've seen so far has reviewed the bar by itself which doesn't help me make a decision. The only benefit I can identify so far is clearer dialogue from the ultra but I've never had any issue hearing dialogue from any Sonos soundbar ever so makes no difference to me

You can either have them download the Sonos app and connect their Apple Music account, or they should be able to use Airplay from their Apple device to the speaker.
 
This guy has the full surround setup. He tested the Arc and Arc ultra and says he can't hear any difference between the two setups


That's all I needed to hear, it seems no reason for me replace my arc then
