You can choose to have a multi-room Sonos system or use the Play:5 in a surround sound home theater set up. While we’re on the subject of linking speakers, the Play:5 can be used as a single-source, paired, or even incorporated into a multi-speaker sound system. In a vertical position, the speaker delivers a mono signal which is usually best when linking two Play:5 speakers together as a stereo pair.
In the horizontal position, the Play:5 becomes a stereo, single-source speaker. The Play:5 can be placed vertically or horizontally and even has a built-in gyro so the internal processing will adjust accordingly. All the speakers are positioned on one side which means you have to be in front of the Play:5 for optimum listening. Some serious power for a speaker of this size. There are 3 x 4-inch woofers, 2 x ¾-inch tweeters for left and right and a 1-inch tweeter for the center delivering 50W RMS or 80W peak. The Play:5 features six speaker drivers, each independently driven by six internal Class-D amplifiers. The entire Sonos range is ultra-stylish and will suit most decor, especially modern and minimalist living spaces. If you’re looking for a contemporary, sleek looking WiFi speaker, then the Sonos Play:5 will deliver. This creates a bigger audio ecosystem giving you more choice and creativity in designing the ultimate home audio system.
With Yamaha for example, you not only have the option of pairing two WiFi speakers but also pairing any MusicCast product to another. A decent home WiFi speaker delivers a much warmer, fuller sound with many products having the option of being paired with subwoofers or even being incorporated in a home theater surround sound system.Ĭompanies like Sonos, Yamaha, and Bose are leading the way when it comes to multi-speaker/multi-room setups. I think people are tired of the cheap often tinny sound Bluetooth speakers provide. Many brands are also bringing out two voice assistant options namely Alexa or Google Assistant which further confirms there is a significant demand for voice assistant products.Īnother key reason is sound quality and multi-speaker integration. People want to be able to use Alexa for the speed and convenience a virtual assistant brings. I can’t say for sure, but I would say a big influence has to be the growing popularity of smart speakers and Amazon’s Alexa. One thing we have noticed is there has been a substantial increase in the number of brands releasing WiFi speakers. It offers great value for money, the ability to create a multi-speaker set up (including home theater), advanced features, and great sound. The Sonos Play:5 is an excellent WiFi speaker.
