Review summary

Most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Customers express significant dissatisfaction with the app, citing frequent system losses after software updates and continuous errors that disrupt music playback, particularly impacting business services. People also report issues with connectivity, often attributing the problems to the user's web LAN, despite widespread reports of similar issues. Furthermore, consumers are not satisfied with the solutions provided and the customer service received. The opinions on the product and upgrades are mixed. Some appreciate the easy setup, sound quality, and intuitive app, especially for outdoor and pool systems. However, others have experienced sudden speaker failures and express concerns over functionality limitations on non-iPhone iOS devices and Android. Some reviewers also point out the obsolescence of older models.

Absolute Garbage system, I have paid thousands of £’s on speakers and the app just isn’t fit for purpose… steer well clear, the app doesn’t work, the speakers are second rate

Avoid this company at all costs

Avoid this company at all costs. It's a scam if you see Best Buy reviews saying that it's a good product, it's all bullshit This is the worst product in the world.I spent so much money on the surround sound and it has been a nightmare. Will never connect. Trust me save the headache and go with samsung

Great tech support people

I moved my existing sonos1 system to new TV and had problems setting up. I called tech support and after about 1 hour of helping me uninstall and reinstall the system is up and running. Great tech support!!!

Excellent process throughout

Excellent website. Soundbar delivered next day. Really clever recyclable packaging. Very easy to set up, once you have the Sonos app. Great sound. Very pleased with purchase.

Set up was simple with app, but after...

Set up was simple with app. However third time using app, settings were "gone" and had to reload.
Speaker is what it was stated per reviews. Clean, crisp and solid.

Sonos is substandard

We’ve had this Sonos Move for a couple of years and it’s been nothing but a nightmare. Would never recommend buying their products.
Stick to Bose. We never had any issues with that one.

The worst cutomer service i have ever recieved. If i could give negative stars i would

If i could give negative stars i would. this has been the worst customer support/ experience i have ever recieved from a compnay. nothing compares. i have been back and forth multiple tiems with the suppoirt agents over the span of over a year with the same issue of my symfonisk table lamp that does not connect or show. i have been transfered back and ofrth between all departments, and no one seems to understand what they are talking about or are able to resolve my issue. when i explained to them that i cant make or recieve phone calls, all support was stopped. my support chat has been closed twice by an agent when asking where to make a complaint. i believe they have done this so that they do not have to reply and can keep there number of complaints recieved low. i have never had an issue like this with a company before, i have never left a negative review or complaint for anything before, but the customer service that i have received was just too abhorrent; and i can see that the other reviews reflect this.
