If you are not adding to an existing Sonos system, might be worth considering the Bose 10 which can be had for around £130.

Just seen "Bundle deals" I will give it ago out of curiosity.

Seems a good price at the moment. Often can be found cheaper via Amazon.es or Amazon.fr but not currently.

Currys currently seeking for £161 including 2 year guarantee so this might work out better for some with cash back / voucher deals, e.g. Eden Red discount scheme

Will be £149 at Currys for 5 days from tomorrow also according to another deal posted tonight :smiley:

That's a good price, so I guess Sonic Direct deal is cheapest now but Curry's tomorrow is 99p cheaper. Guess we will all get JL to price match it anyway, don't know why they can't sell it for £148 and get some extra sales!

I'm pretty set on getting a sonos but I do like the idea of a remote control for the bose...but I think the sonos looks a lot better too!

I have one, very good however with one speaker the sound is mono. I also find the Sonos app a little rubbish and it annoys me you can't just Bluetooth or use aux to play music

Just dropped @ Amazon to same price!!!

No it's fine, sound quality and loudness is good, really good compared to some of the crap which is out at the min. You use your mobile / tablet to control the Sonos via the app. The app links to Spotify buy you can only use Spotify through the Sonos app (if that's how you stream), alternatively saved music on your device can be played and selected through the app or access to dab radio through the app.

I haven't used a pc so wouldn't be able to comment. You also have to have it connected to wifi to use.

Imo I would recommend something like this for a single room setup:

If you want a setup which works throughout the home then the Sonos or Bose is the best option

I would say the sound is comparable to a full Bose system, I have these play 1's paired with a sound bar and sub and it sounds amazing.

No need for a PC, but you will need a smartphone in order to control them/play music as they don't include a remote

thank you very much for taking the time to reply. :smiley:

thank you as well.
i have windows phone so i am guessing it wouldnt work

I remember the days when speakers where sold in pair's ...

no win phone support

Unless you burn your cds which I try to avoid as I like the sound quality from the disc you can't play them through this system unless you go in high at the Play 5 or the amp which have the connectivity.

Will John Lewis price match instore

Still love my Logitech Squeezebox Boom. Great sound, controlled from the unit, or remote, or app and does everything I need it to. Fantastic piece of kit but need to expand around the house so I'm keeping my eye on a couple of Sonos 1's.

What I dislike about these is they do not have Bluetooth connectivity otherwise I would have bought a few. Seems damn silly only to allow connection over wifi in this day and age.

Could anyone recommend a good set of Bluetooth speakers?

Check out phonos in the app store. Works a treat on my windows phone.

Check out an app called phonos

Aux also on Connect and Connect Amp

My stereo died so I replaced it with a pair of sonos play 1s. The lack of aux in is my only frustration. Would love to plug my tv and minidisc player into it. Hahaha so retro.
Connect amp is next on my list. Richersounds have it for £369, but I've found simply electronics has it for £359. Would they price match?

It's now £149 at richer sounds

At what point do you need to buy the connect

I have 2, & love them. Heat

John Lewis have confirmed my price match request of curry's @ £149

The latest versions do not, The Sonos and Bose are comparable BUT different, I have had both and for MY needs the Bose is far superior. A big benefit to me is the time from "thinking" about putting on music to it starting is extremely quick (once touch, remote or one touch on App).

To my mind, nothing beats the convenience and simplicity of Sonos. It.just.works.

£350 to do this? :confused:

As far I know it is digital and digital should not loose quality whichever way it is send (I assume Bluetooth does not use some kind of compression.

Edit: actually just done some research and Bluetooth does apply compression which does affect quality.. I learned something today ;-)

£350 is for the Connect amp the connect is £240 but yes its expensive.

Same on Amazon + Flubit = £139 :smiley:

Anyone know if the Sonos Play1 x2 bundle is still available anywhere?
