Verified Purchase:Yes
A few years ago we had speakers installed in the ceiling of most of the rooms in our home as well as outside in the sitting area. Long story short we stopped dealing with the installation company and never finished the project. We went into BestBuy to see what our options were and they recommended Sonos. The configuration they proposed seemed pricey and I just didn't understand why. After it was explained to us that we could the installation in pieces we went ahead with what we called the first installation. Oh my!!!! Why did we wait so long. It is so cool. My first surprise was all the freebies you get from Sonos such as access to many many radio stations. They are nicely grouped by genre. I was also able to play all the music I had purchased in MP3 format over the years as well. The second surprise was being able to run it from almost any smart device. There was no problem running it from multiple devices. I has the technician install Sonos on my laptop and told him I would install it on my other devices. I was able to install it on my Samsung Galaxy 3 phone, the new Samsung Galaxy 4 phone, my Nook tablet and the Samsung Tablet 3.0. We got two controllers and figured out on our own that you could group and quickly ungroup controllers. We opted to have two rooms on one controller and another controller control another room for a total of 3 rooms able to produce sound. This is so we could do indpendent listening but if you were having a party you could group all the controllers and they would play the same music without having to try and individually set each controller. We plan too add more but we can do that in a time frame that works for us. My only negative comment is that it seems from time to time a device can lose it's connection to the controllers. Sometimes you just need to reboot such as a phone and other times you have to just reconnect it which is literally pusing two buttons on the front of the controller. Not sure why it does this but it doesn't bother me. I like things that are easy, straight forward and make my life better.

What's great about it: Ability to run on multiple devices
What's not so great: Sometimes loses connection from app to controller
I would recommend this to a friend!
