“I don't think I can overstate how much of an improvement this is from the first generation Play:5. Needless to say, once I had one, I had to sell all of my other Sonos components to buy more. Trueplay is more than a gimmick and really enhances the soundstage. The touch interface is great. Most importantly, they sound incredible, losing the bass port has improved the sound exponentially. In terms of build quality, I took two of these to Burning Man this year in some incredibly harsh, dusty conditions. Not only did they perform incredibly but they look and sound as good as new. Value for money wise, Sonos don't change their products particularly often and the build quality means they will look and sound great for years, firmware updates keep you current and they've finally sorted out most of the annoying aspects in their software such as no longer having to queue the next track in a playlist. Before they'd made these updates, I was close to abandoning the platform, but the improvements are great and they no longer seem to have Spotify outages like they did a few years ago. If you run into problems, their support network is great and friendly. I don't own any bluesound or Naim equipment, but I think they're definitely superior to the Bose equivalents having used the Soundtouch 25s fairly extensively and the user interface is far better. Soon the addition of spotify connect will make the experience more seamless in my opinion. For the price, I can't recommend a better quality speaker.”

“Purchased the Play 5, very pleased with the build quality, features and especially the sound. I have had decent audio in the past but this is head and shoulders above, great product.”

“Excellent sound quality, build quality and ease of use with the Sonos app. I have it linked with another Play 5 to form a stereo pair. I can't see myself upgrading for some considerable time as the sound is stunning and in my opinion a comparable amp, CD player and speakers offering a similar level of performance would cost far more.”
