It has been working well since installation, no apparent issues. It made a significant, if not crucial, improvemente to my Sonos system.

Mount your Sonos PLAY:1 speaker on this compact Flexson desk stand to save space. It minimizes vibration and lets you adjust the angle of the speaker.

Great addition to Sonos Play 1!

I purchase two of these stands only for the looks...it turned out that they improved the Sonos sound! Since these stands are angled upwards, you get more direct sound straight to your ears ...and the bass also gets a better sense of scale and clarity since the stands keep the speakers detached from the reflective surface where they’d have sat otherwise. Mounting the Sonos was a matter of 1, 2, 3...super easy and fast. Highly recommended!

Good at what it does but overpriced.

The product as advertised is very satisfying as to performance. It does seem to have some very minor glitches, like brief lack of volume control among devices playing simultaneously (I have 2 Play:1s and 2 Play:3s) but I give it the benefit of the doubt since this issue can be related to home Wi-Fi instability, maybe not so much the application itself.
Other than that, it does exactly what Sonos describes. In that respect, I'd give it 5 stars but I cannot overlook the fact that at $350.00 dollars (+ taxes) it should have more features, at least one optical audio in with a nice DAC, for instance. And the capacity to create a 5.1 system would have made this a killer interface.
I use the Connect with a separate DAC to have the sound of my TV play through the Sonos speakers, and the sound is fantastic. Stereo is the only mode, of course, that's why I lament so much Sonos' neglect to include an optical-In option with 5.1 capability.
But the Connect's limitation should not surprise an informed customer who knows what he/she is getting.
You can get 5.1 by adding other Connects to route Center/Left/Right surround channels from your own DAC...and that will leave you with a + or - $2,000.00 audio system. So...is it worth?

Surround your listening space with crystal-clear audio with these Pioneer Elite SP-EBS73-LR bookshelf speakers, which feature 2-way CST concentric Dolby Atmos drivers to ensure enveloping sound. The 5-1/4" aluminum woofers provide thumping low-end response.

I got these under $500 (open box) and on a whim. They sounded great with my humble Denon AVR 591 5.1, but then I purchased the Atmos enabled Pioneer 1130 and...the stereo sound is simply beyond belief. These speakers are on the forward side...which makes you believe, for instance, that there is a guitar playing right by your ear...lots of "air" arround and a huge room as background. Forward, but never harsh. Bass is well-defined, acceptable in depth (I do not use a sub for music), mid bass is very tuneful.
All in all, their highest virtue is that they sound...musical! Absolutely engaging and pleasant.
I like them so much that I went and bought the center channel too. It makes a great home theater system...you know that when you cannot tell whether a dog is actually barking in the open air or is the sound comming from a speaker.
