Sonos is honestly just garbage. For the longest time I had the “buy whatever is the most expensive” mindset for literally anything, so when it came to buying a Bluetooth speaker, I couldn’t get the Beats Pill so I went for the Sonos Roam. Absolute garbage, what kind of Bluetooth speaker needs WiFi t

Why Sonos Sound System sounds like ass (in depth)

Sonos is fantastic IMO, I have a Roam, Move, and surround system (Arc + Eras + Sub). The surround is often regarded as the best mass retail system (and I think it's great). The speakers in my RS3? ...Not so much. They aren't the worst, but it should be a lot better than it is given the price range o

Just found this sub, what Bluetooth speaker are you using right now and would you actually buy it again?

B&W Zeppelin, bought 2021 (ish). It’s amazing. I know it’s not cheap but it surpassed my expectations. It’s our main living room music system/speaker. For travelling, we have a Sonos Roam. It’s louder and better than I thought it would be too. Excellent for taking to AirBnBs for example.

Move 2 with Sub Mini

Hi, yes this should work. The reason it currently isn’t working is a missing path in SonoSequencr, which I’ll fix in the next release. With this fix I was able to bond a Sub Mini to my Roam. However, with a Roam you’ll probably need to lower the Sub Level to around -10 or below, because the Roam’s v

Smart speaker - Amazon or Sonos?

I’m partial to the Sonos system. I’ve had up to nine echos at one point but replaced most with either HomePod or Sonos. The Roam is like a gateway drug. Lead to a move 2, arc and sub.

Do you really notice a big difference with a full surround sound system vs a soundbar?

Does the sub for the Sonos Arc connect over Wi-Fi? I have a Roam and hate how the connection stutters from time to time. The only reason I haven't grabbed the sub to complement the Arc is worrying that it would skip while watching.

What’s a Bluetooth speaker you bought that completely exceeded expectations?

B&W Zeppelin. It’s not cheap but it’s still fantastic. Also mention to the Sonos Roam which is a better portable speaker than I thought it would be.
