SONOS PLAY:3 Smart Wireless Speaker, White

Product Information

You can also tweak how it sounds using the Sonos app, adjusting the height channel’s level to suit how loud or intense you want the effect to be.Overall, the Era 300 shows a very mature, very assured sonic performance. The Five doesn't have spatial audio, and while it can't quite compete when it comes to the scale, it does still go very loud – a tad louder than the Era 300. Despite its larger size, it's not too bass-heavy, either, and the soundstage is admirably spacious. The top of the frequency range is a little rounded off, which stops treble sounds becoming hard or edgy at higher volume. The result is a speaker that doesn't sound different as you crank up the volume, just louder. Finally, if you just plan to use the speakers to enhance the holiday tunes that you plan to blast throughout your home- perhaps creating a festive spirit at your next social gathering- you can use the Sonos Connect or Connect:Amp. The soundbar is likely to be connected to the TV with an audio input/output cable option depending on the model that you choose to use. Keep in mind that the speakers need to be high-quality if you are planning to stream any movies or TV shows on your TV.

From here, you just need to hardwire one of your Sonos speakers to your computer via its aux port. If you have two of the same speakers — like two Era 100s — you'll want to first create a stereo pair ( see steps above) and then hardwired one of those speakers into your computer; they will stay stereo paired when you designate one as your computer's default speaker. Every time your Mac falls asleep or gets turned off, the AirPlay connection will get severed. Also, if you're using one of Sonos's smart speakers (like the One), the connection will break every time you ask something via "Hey Alexa" or "Hey Sonos."

There are three ways to connect Sonos to TV wirelessly – via Bluetooth, by using the Sonos app, or by purchasing an APTX BT transmitter and using this as an audio receiver. The choice of method would depend on the setup and the wireless capabilities of the TV and audio devices.

After your two Sonos speakers are stereo paired, it's pretty easy to set them up so that they are your default Mac speakers. There are two ways of doing this: Vocalists are given enough room and aren't swamped by the instrumentation, but the presentation is a touch forward and lean compared with the Era 300's more expressive and capable sound. Bon Iver's vocals on Exile sound rather reedy and flat on the Five, while Era 300 delivers deeper textures and personality. The more subtle second-stage dynamics of harmonic variation can elude it, too, especially when a recording is especially dense or otherwise complex. It's just not as impressive as its newer, more accomplished, sibling.This is generally to avoid the mishaps that can come when multiple devices are functioning on the same Wi-Fi network. Using the Sonos App, connect each of your Sonos speakers to the Wi-Fi system that is paired with your Wi-Fi enabled phone or computer. Then, once you have established a connection with each of these speakers in the system, you will connect them to the centralized soundbar. It has Apple AirPlay 2, but no Bluetooth, and TruePlay calibration but only for iOS devices. No mics means no voice controls, though if you pair it with another mic-enabled Sonos speaker you can control it by speaking.

Once you've successfully set your Sonos speakers as your default computer speakers, you'll want to turn Autoplay "on" in the Settings menu of the Sonos app. This will allow your Sonos system to play automatically when it detects a sound coming from the line-in connection. If you don't turn this on and you stream music to your Sonos speakers rather than just using them as computer speakers, you'll likely have to go through the whole process of resetting them up again as your computer's default speakers. So, to prevent you from hearing the punch line of a joke 20 seconds after it has been delivered on-screen, the cabled connection ensures that the audio is streamed on time. Sonos speakers permit you to use the Sonos App on your Wi-Fi enabled phone or computer to manage them. Each Sonos speaker will need to be connected to the Wi-Fi system within your home, but you can manage this through the Sonos App. Then, you will have full control to be able to stream the audio of your dreams.This works as you pair each Sonos speaker in your surround sound system to the same Wi-Fi network as your phone or computer (whichever you plan to use as the controller). Then, using the Sonos App on the controller, you can manipulate the sound for the audio experience of your dreams.
