Sonos White Play:5 Music System, Model PLAY5US1

Previously known as Sonos S5, SONOS PLAY:5 is the original, bigger room, all-in-one Sonos player that’s a powerhouse of sound. With five integrated speakers and five digital amps, PLAY:5 streams all the music on earth wirelessly in any room. Control with free apps for your Android™ smartphone, iPhone® or iPad®. The Play:5 is available in both black and white.

Features:

  • Crystal-clear, room-filling sound
    The Play:5 is a high-performance wireless music system with 2 tweeters, 2 mid-range drivers and 1 subwoofer driver for bass you can feel. Each speaker is powered by a dedicated digital amplifier (5 in all) and optimized to deliver accurate tonal balance and deep bass. The Play:5’s all digital sound architecture provides precise sound reproduction, just as the artist intended. And all filter settings, active equalization and time-alignment are done in the digital domain through state-of-the-art DSP circuitry, so there’s absolutely no loss of audio quality or energy.
  • Convenient, all-in-one solution
    The Play:5 is a complete wireless music system that works wherever you want music. No need to connect to speakers or audio equipment. Just plug it in and enjoy. Want music in another room? Simply add more Play:5s to your house without adding wires. And when the party moves outside or to another room, just pick up the Play:5 with the convenient, built-in handle and take the music with you.
  • Instant access to endless music
    Sonos liberates the music on the Internet, your computer and more, so you can wirelessly play it all over the home. Wherever there’s a Play:5 (or any other ZonePlayer), you can tune in to 100,000 Internet radio stations, shows and podcasts and stream millions of songs and stations from the most popular online music services. Plus, you can play your entire personal music library, like iTunes®, in any or every room. You can even connect to your favorite audio source, such as an Apple AirPort Express®, CD player or TV and listen on all the ZonePlayers throughout your home.
  • Control it all with your favorite mobile devices…and more
    Wirelessly control all your music and all your ZonePlayers with your choice of Sonos Controllers. Got an Android™ smartphone, iPhone®, iPod touch®, or iPad™? Then, simply download one of the free Sonos Controller apps and take control with the mobile device you already have and love. Want a dedicated Controller that everyone in the home can use? Grab the touch screen Sonos Controller 200 and pick a room, find a song and touch play. Got a desktop or laptop? Then use the Sonos Controller for Mac or PC for added control. They all work together seamlessly so mix and match to your heart’s content.
  • Best-in-class wireless technology for multi-room music
    The Play:5 brings great sounding music wirelessly to any room in your house, without a big wiring project. SonosNet 2.0, our wireless mesh network technology, provides superior wireless range for whole-house coverage, ensures synchronous music playback, and avoids sources of wireless interference. Which means the music gets to all the right rooms — near or far — at exactly the right time.
  • Simple setup & expansion
    Setting up your Play:5 is incredibly easy — simply plug it in. No technical or wiring expertise required. No speakers or audio equipment to connect. All you need is a high-speed Internet connection and a router to get started. One ZonePlayer or ZoneBridge in your system must be connected to the router and all the rest will work wirelessly. Add more Play:5s in more rooms without wires.
  • New features and music services with automatic updates
    Unlike most other consumer electronic products, the Play:5 and the entire Sonos system keep getting better even after you buy it. With free automatic software updates you’ll always have the newest features and music services to enjoy. Just register your system and Sonos will automatically notify you when software updates are available. Simply press one button and your system updates itself.

    I came across Sonos while researching whole house music options at CNET. I am building a house and choose Sonos as the best and most flexible choice for our family's needs. I have tested and used the zone player 120 (with in-ceiling speakers not yet in the ceiling) and the S5. I don't know what audiophile quality sounds like but I do believe that the sound that I have heard from the zone player and S5 is great, solid sound. On top of the great sound is an easy set-up, intuitive and effortless control via the controller 200 and listening options that will blow your mind. The S5 is a good option for a single room, shelf system or a portable option. Sonos reminds me of Apple; they keep getting it right.

    This product is great for listening to online radio, having multiple household members queue music they want to listen to. It's easy to setup, though requires internet connection. However, if you're looking for a quality sound system, get something audiophiles recognize, like Bose speakers. The quality of the sound is average. The speakers are overpriced for the quality of the sound it produces. It's fun to play with initially, but if you're an audiophile, this product isn't worth it in the long run. I wouldn't buy these speakers again if I got another opportunity. Save the money and get a better set of speakers audiophiles recognize.

                The Sonos System is amazing.. In all ways. the S5's sound is undoubtedly Impressive, Loud and powerful, but the amount of flexibility it provides is just amazing. I had a 2 Airport Express + Apple TV setup in my house for music on each level (upstairs, living room and basement) and now everything but the AppleTV is gone (it needs to stay cause of the video capabilities..) I dont need to have my laptop up and running for Airplay to work.. Now its not just streaming iTunes anymore, It picks up music of my NAS share and I can even play other internet services like Pandora, Napster and Rhapsody -- Splendid
                You can choose if you want to play the same thing in the whole house or if you wanna play different things in different rooms.. You can use your laptop, iPhone, iPod or andriod devices to control (I can even control it from a Xoom using Andronos) It is Amazing.. I now wonder why I wasted my money on the Airport Express in the first place.. should have gotten the Sonos systems instead from the beginning..

                    I gave an S5 to my father in law. He had it set up and was controlling the stream of his favorite music via his iPhone in about 10 minutes.
                    He placed it in a much bigger room than I would have thought possible - probably 30 x 20 feet with 10' high ceilings. It really sounds great. Unbelievable!

                    My mother in law is also very pleased as she both enjoys the music and the S5 looks nice (small) on their bookshelf.

                    An excellent sounding and performing product.

                      I used to listen music using my hi-fi system.
                      It is tube amp and big floor speakers.
                      I wouldn't compare its sound quality; it's not fair.
                      10K vs. .5K ??? come on...
                      But the point is,
                      you can listen the music all the time.
                      As you getting up, going to bed, all the time.
                      It generously fills my room with acceptable sound.
                      Sometimes, it impress me as well.

                      The bottom line is,
                      If you want to listen to music not "SOUND" then
                      GO FOR IT.
