Comment:
Everything they say about how great this sounds and how easy it is to use is true. I want to rave about TECH SUPPORT! I got mine home and ran into problems. The tech support number was right there. I called 1 min before the scheduled end of day. I got an AMERICAN who remote accessed my computer fixed the issue and then walked me through how to use it. BEST TECH SUPPORT EXPERIENCE EVER! You rock Peter M!

I have had a sonos 3 and 5 for about a year. When I first got them they were great. Getting them set up was a little clunky but everything worked fine for a while. After a few software updates I lost the ability to access my itunes library. With the last update my sonos 5 dropped off. Because of where I have them placed this isn't easy to fix (need to get out a ladder). Sonos offers no help for access to iTunes. Until they get these issues resolved I cannot recommend.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
The wife wanted something she could use in the kitchen while she did her cooking and could stream Car Talk and other NPR shows. And it had to be wireless. I tried several other speakers, and was greatly disappointed. Then CR had this speaker listed in their report last month. We have a Bose that we use for the Ipod. And I have to say I'm thinking of selling the Bose. The Sonos Play3 sounds that good. There is more depth to the music and you hear more instruments then you can with the Bose. And that may be because the the Bose is a docking station and the music is coming from an Ipod, instead of the computer or streaming. Which I understand there's a big loss of quality in MP3 formats. In short; I'm very impressed with this little speaker. And would buy an other in a heart beat! Almost forgot! With this system, there is no back ground noise. Just clean great tunes.
