While Gizmodo’s Mario Aguilar credits Sonos with simplifying the set-up process for its Play:5 — something that was mandatory in order to compensate for the convenience of Bluetooth — its UI deficits may not be enough to sway consumers over to the Wi-Fi way.
“Sonos conquered wireless music years ago, before wireless music was even a thing to be conquered. With the new Play:5, the company revisits its flagship speaker with a stunning new design and powerful sound customization. The refreshed Play:5 might be the coolest speaker Sonos has ever made.”
