*** Official SONOS Thread ***

My biggest problem with this guy is he often promises new features and lofty goals in interviews, which the company either can't deliver or delivers very very late

Which is stupid as you are setting yourself and your company up to fail by doing that, especially with an internet that never forgets.

Under-promise and over-deliver. FTW

I’ve canned my Sonos stuff, for 2 reasons:


1 - the sound wasn’t great in the living room at the new property

2 - because of the poor app which is still problematic for me, I couldn’t be bothered to spend the time finding a solution.




It was great when it was working well, but it has been winding me up continuously for months now.

Same. I've gone for Wiim

Hornetstinger just PMd me about Wiim but I didn’t fancy having a Chinese device with an always on microphone, which can’t currently be disabled, built into the unit.


Paired with the severe undercutting price wise of the competition, with no viable long-term strategic business model to be profitable with the quality of software they provide, it makes me highly suspicious of the the company.

Perhaps. I'm not that deeply invested so no worries if they go belly up or whatever.

Sonos isnt presently fit for purpose and Wiim ticks all my boxes so I'll take a chance.
