Fantastic, warm sound, Looks the business, TruePlay generally helps in certain environments
TruePlay is tricky to set-up, Single app approach can be a pain
Sonos Play:5 – Sound quality Looks are all well and good, but where the new Play:5 lives or dies is in how it sounds. And boy, does this £499 speaker sound fantastic. Sonos speakers have always impressed when it comes to sound quality, but the new Play:5...

Abstract: When Sonos launched their original product line in 2005, the market for networked audio was barely recognisable as such. The idea of an entire line of products that depended entirely on a computer to function seemed slightly risky at the time. Fast forwar...
Excellent audio quality and superbly flexible control; soon available for Android,
A little bit pricey... but worth it.
You could argue that a system as pricey as this - especially if you plan to buy more than one - ought to have Apple AirPlay to allow you to stream lossless music from your iPhone - though in reality, that's probably heading further into the very elitis...
The Sonos Zoneplayer S5 is compact and, by Sonos’ standards, relatively affordable – but doesn’t feel like a budget model when it comes to the crunch.

If you don’t have the aforementioned iDevice, however, you’ll either have to control playback through your computer or shell out for an expensive (but lovely) Sonos CR200 touchscreen remote control. There’s also no Wi-Fi built-in, so you’ll have to connect the S5 to your router via Ethernet cable.

Beautiful and well designed; good sound quality; easy to use; superb online services
Very expensive; addictive -- you'll want one for each room; headphone output not brilliant
If we could, we'd fill our houses with stunning Sonos hardware. The only problem would be figuring out how to pay for it all. The Sonos ZonePlayer S5 is a fantastic home audio system and one we rate very highly indeed....
