Sounds great, easy setup, good software, minor nit

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this as a gift for my wife and set it up. I found the instructions easy to follow. Once it was plugged into my wired network, i paired it with the free iOS app and got started. It supports various internet radio accounts (like Pandora, etc.) and it sounds wonderful. It has a full sound and a clean look to it with minimal controls on the unit.
My only complaint is that while yes, it's a wireless unit, the wireless feature requires a separate purchase of the SONOS Bridge ($50) which builds a dedicated wireless network. The Bridge plugs into your wireless router and it broadcasts a wifi signal on its' own to the speakers.
This makes it independent of your wireless network, so it's possibly more secure that way. It's much easier to set up this way than typing a wifi password into each SONOS speaker, that's for sure. I feel that they probably should have included it with the PLAY:5 though. If you're paying $500 for a wireless speaker, maybe it should be wireless out of the box.
That said, I'd still recommend this to friends and family. It's a neat system with good software and it sounds great. I look forward to expanding my system later on.

What's great about it: it sounds as good as you'd expect and setup is easier than you might think
What's not so great: "Wireless" means additional parts are needed
I would recommend this to a friend!

It's a perfect fit for the handset

The battery had a half charge when I bought it, so it worked with the handset right away. After an evening on the charger it was ready to go. It works fine and holds a charge about as long as you'd expect. Excellent replacement.

It does the job. Suction cup holds fast and can bear the weight of my device. No problems here. Looks a little bulky, but I should be watching the road, right?

Does what you expect

It does the job. It's a no-frills tripod that'll hold your camera steady. It's light and compact so it's easy to store or take along with you. Enough control to be adjustable, not so much that you get lost balancing it.
