According to our WiFi speaker expert
Looking for a powerful wireless speaker? The Sonos Play:5 is the thing for you. This speaker has 6 drivers controlled by their own digital amplifier. It lets you listen to a detailed, full, powerful HiFi sound. Connect the speaker to the power grid and connect the speaker to your smartphone or tablet via WiFi. Expand your Sonos system with extra speakers and create a stereo or multi-room setup. You control them with the Sonos app, which lets you easily put on a song in another room. Put on your favorite playlist and let everyone in the house listen with you.
Note: Sonos products use a 2.4GHz WiFi network. With a 5GHz network, Sonos can only be used in a surround setup. Make sure your WiFi is installed on the right network before getting started with your speaker(s).
Note: this speaker is compatible with Google Assistant. This means that besides this speaker, you'll need a speaker with integrated Google Assistant, like the Sonos One, Sonos Beam, or Google Home, in order to need voice control.

We, lucky bastards, received this speaker as a Christmas present. Of course it makes no sense. Way too crazy. I danced next to the box for an hour, while it still had to be plugged in.
Anyway, the sound is fantastic. It is as if you now hear the music completely, in all its facets. Connecting was not entirely smooth sailing, we only heard the chime (the sign that your speaker is connected) after an hour of fiddling with that button on the back. But once connected, you also have something.
I'm not an audiophile, so this is the opinion of an ordinary house, garden and kitchen lady. But if you ask me, this is one of the best speakers ever. The speaker is on a cabinet with us - I wanted it to have its own altar, but my husband rolled his eyes before I finished speaking - and the use of TruePlay made sure that the speaker is fine-tuned compared to the position where he stands in the room in relation to the rest of the room. To set up TruePlay, you have to cross a mental threshold. It then seems as if you are ritually blessing your room. Just a matter of embracing your inner shaman.
Recently, it can also be controlled with your voice via Google Home. And even if you can do without it, it's a lot of fun to do.
Spotify, YouTube Music, etc. are streamed without any problem. And the same goes for Internet radio.
In short: a fantastic speaker with a heavenly sound. The Top2000 has an extra level in terms of experience this year. Even those blar numbers that I can't do anything with.
Happy New Year!

Bought 2 Play 5 (new generation) and it works very well. Great sound, installation is very smooth and sound is fine to adjust. All housemates are enthusiastically busy with their own playlists and radio stations.

The Sonos 5v2 is a super device with easy installation. Plays very well and a fantastic bass. Internet radio stations are also widely used here, you will find music stations for everyone's music genre. Only a pity about the high price, but it is certainly worth the investment.
