No longer the great option it used to be. The sound quality is great, but I can no longer recommend the system based on the software that is required to control the speakers. The latest versions of the software, which are updated whether you want them or not, are unattractive and buggy. Sonos’ attempt to ‘improve’ the user experience has led to my speakers being linked to an account at sonos.com. No adding or changing the system without internet access to that account. I bought these so I could mostly play music on my computers and should not be forced to use sonos.com or new unnecessary updates all the time.Their new user agreement also says they can track all my activity or if I don’t accept the agreement, I don’t have access to use my own speakers! I’m not sure they need that and frankly I am tired of companies saying they need to track my online activities. If there is a clear reason and they tell me before purchase, that is one thing. However, after the fact, don’t change the agreement to force this…
Please fix your software!!! Iâm losing patience with Sonos. Iâve built out a pretty extensive system (eight play-1âs, one play-5, one sound bar, one sub) and have historically been a huge advocate; however, the recent Sonos app update has been terrible. Now (since the update), I have to unplug my Sonos controller and wait awhile for a reboot. This has become so irritating that Iâm beginning to regret my purchase of the inexplicably expensive Sonos components. Sonos has been (and should be) âplug and playâ, but itâs definitely not. Moreover, the new app interface took a long time to get familiar with and I donât see that itâs improved in any way (and itâs very buggy). For someone whoâs been an early adopter and evangelist of Sonos, I need you guys to get your act together. My wife is so irritated with the Sonos network that she doesnât even use it anymore, she just plays music from a stand-alone Amazon Echo. Please fix your software!!!
