Astoundingly wide stereo field, it's ability to rotate and its sound in all rotations are stellar. Easily links with your existing wireless network making setup a breeze for new and expanding users alike.
Multitouch controls for play and pause don't provide the tactile feel of a physical button
Yes, physical buttons have gone the way of polka, replaced with a sleek touch-sensitive surface and three tiny markings atop the speaker (if set up horizontally). The slightly-raised Play/Pause button sits directly above the vertical Sonos logo, framed by...
Simple setup and tuning, Easy to turn into multi-room system with other, cheaper Sonos speakers, Audio quality is excellent, Long list of supported services, Line-in adds limitless music options

While fairly pricey the second-gen Play:5 is the best-sounding Sonos speaker yet...
Wonderfully musical to listen to, Sonos's mesh network makes for outstanding whole-home audio, Terrific price/performance ratio
Not as high fidelity than the more expensive B&W Zeppelin Wireless, No threaded mount
