I must first start by saying that I typically do not provide online reviews but I rely heavily on them. If you are like me, you like to read countless reviews about any purchase of a product over $100.00. I value other people's opinions, experiences, and general outlook about products they have tried. I have been looking at a few options to add a speaker in our bedroom. I was looking at 1) a speaker dock 2) a bluetooth speaker or 3) a wi-fi speaker. I began to think about what I would value most in my new speaker. Portability, or quality? After I spent several hours reading online reviews, as well as a trip to my local Best Buy store, I came to my conclusion. I valued the online reviews more in helping me make my decision over my hands on visit to my Best Buy store. The store display at my best buy store wasn't set up and working for the SONOS speaker. After I seen the bluetooth speaker options at my Best Buy store, I couldn't believe how small they were and the quality simply wasn't what I was in the market for. I narrowed the purchase down to wi-fi speakers. Pioneer's A4 or the SONOS play 3. I couldn't have made a better decision. The actual set up took me about 30 minutes after I got it out of the box to establish the network SONOS requires. After that, the connection of the speaker was a minute at the very worst. I was blown away by the quality of music this little guy put out. The app that I installed for my iPhone 5 worked flawlessly. I was up and listening to all sorts of music within minutes. If you are looking for a wi-fi speaker, SONOS is the way to go. You will pay more for the speaker, but if you want sound quality within a buget, SONOS simply is the best option and you will not regret the purchase. What's even better is that I can expand my collection at my pace and have excellent sound throughout my entire house. Try it for 30 days but I'm confident you will not return it.
