Jon Bentley on Sonos! On this weeks Gadget Show Jon Bentley met up with DJ Mark Goodier to discuss the highly acclaimed Sonos Zoneplayer S5.
With many people now opting for digital music library’s rather than using CD’s the opportunities for wireless music around the house are endless.
Gaining the ‘best product’ award was the Sonos Zoneplayer S5. The S5 is the latest model from Sonos who specialise in wireless music streaming.
Jon Bentely was immediately impressed with the fact that the Sonos Zoneplayer had “5 built-in speakers as well as the necessary wireless receiver” as this meant that he could pick up the Sonos S5 and place the speaker anywhere he liked!
With set-up being equally as simple as positioning of the product, a simple action of clicking a few buttons on top of the player, Jon and Mark were ready to grab the controller and start their wireless music experience in no time at all. Not restricted to the Sonos Controller for control, Jon was also able to control his musical experience by using the “free app for iPod”.
A simple click of a button and the music started to play without any delay with the sound being noticeably “in a different league” to the other products tested. Where some of the other products lacked the ability to play immediately in sync the Sonos S5 was “immaculately in sync” - “perfect” was the only way to describe it.
Conclusion
All in the operation and control of multiple zoneplayers proved to be a breeze…“operating all three units is easy….playing a different song in each room was simple”. The Sonos grabbed the full 5G rating – “Easy to set up, Easy to use and Definitely sound superb”.
Other products mentioned in their wireless streaming were Apple’s Airport Express and Logitech’s Squeezebox Touch – both obtained a 3G rating.
