Sonos Play: 1 ... the new No. 1 from No. 1..?! But the new consuming too much in standby

The Sonos Play: 1 allows finally the entry into the Sonos world for less than 200 euros and makes the Play: 3 or less superfluous. Even the Sonos Play: 5 has compared it to "munch" - you get almost 2 units of the new model.

Especially in a double pack is the smallest "all-in-one player" more than an alternative to PLAY5. Thus, the STEREO sound appealing stereo width is possible is made possible without more than 500 Euro in Sonos and other parts having to invest with speakers like.

To praise:
-------------

++ Play 3, let alone the 5 act play in my eyes a bit "old-fashioned". Visually, the play here more convincing and has perhaps then what might await us as successors of the old models.

+ The sound not a high flyer. Depending on what you're accustomed to sound, the play 1 can also be great fun or arrange appropriate sound irrigation. It will probably make no one a B & W Nautilus to the bathroom ....?

+++ Conveniently solo or double still cheaper than a song connect AMP

++ Sovereign mono design - no pseudo stereo from a mini housing, such as the Play 5 ....

++ 2-way structure for good sound in the heights

++++ Integrate really discreet

-------------------------------------------------- -------------
Criticisms remain even when new songs Hit:
-------------------------------------------------- -------------

- Also these Sonos is not wireless - you need a power outlet near ;-)

- "Only" in White / Silver or Black / Silver

- Subwoofer - support remains only with the (relatively expensive) Sonos - Sub reserved.

- As the Play: 3 only 1 LAN port instead of the very practical 2-port hubs for looping

--- The stand-by consumption as the price for the convenient operation including inputs and "off" when you can talk about it ....:

SONOS PLAY: 1
4 Watt

SONOS PLAY: 3
6.5 Watt

SONOS PLAY: 5
6.5 Watt

SONOS Playbar
13 Watt

SONOS SUB
6.5 Watt

SONOS CONNECT
4 Watt

SONOS CONNECT: AMP
6.5 Watt

SONOS BRIDGE
4 Watt

CONCLUSION:
---------

Sonos Play: 1

The manufacturer has almost everything right: optics - significantly revamped - to my taste. Sonically solid with attractive heights. Unrivaled Along with the right universal app-operation - also unrivaled favorable now to bring music streaming and Internet radio in the cabin :-) :-)

In much Plug N Play ... remains as downer of outdated standby consumption, the. Probably switched to the network operation including remains payable via network. Common today is a standby of less than 1 watt. Especially in multiroom applications, the individual Sonos add - devices but frightening ... Is it so a stereo Set Play: 1 + Sub already at 14.5 watts Standby !!! As a multi-room solution you are quickly in 30 - 60 Watt for the stand-by !!! :-( :-(

------------------

Stay tuned to wait and see what else Sonos brings ... would be nice to my mind a playlist: 1 with battery and blutooth for mobile use; a small subwoofer for small spaces and small budgets and a review of AMP ... :-)
