The play 5 is very impressive. Great sound especially the bass from such a compact unit, easy to set up and operate. Nothing not to like about it. The do cost quite a lot but as soon as you hear it and see one in the flesh you can tell that it is a quality bit of kit and you get what you pay for in this instance. Highly recommended

Having purchased a play 1 last year, I wanted a play 5 for the dining room. I am very impressed, love sonos especially multi room play. The play 5 is a brilliant piece of kit.

Nice sound in neat package, the interface is a little clunky. I would recommend this to others

I don't think I can overstate how much of an improvement this is from the first generation Play:5. Needless to say, once I had one, I had to sell all of my other Sonos components to buy more. Trueplay is more than a gimmick and really enhances the soundstage. The touch interface is great. Most importantly, they sound incredible, losing the bass port has improved the sound exponentially. In terms of build quality, I took two of these to Burning Man this year in some incredibly harsh, dusty conditions. Not only did they perform incredibly but they look and sound as good as new. Value for money wise, Sonos don't change their products particularly often and the build quality means they will look and sound great for years, firmware updates keep you current and they've finally sorted out most of the annoying aspects in their software such as no longer having to queue the next track in a playlist. Before they'd made these updates, I was close to abandoning the platform, but the improvements are great and they no longer seem to have Spotify outages like they did a few years ago. If you run into problems, their support network is great and friendly. I don't own any bluesound or Naim equipment, but I think they're definitely superior to the Bose equivalents having used the Soundtouch 25s fairly extensively and the user interface is far better. Soon the addition of spotify connect will make the experience more seamless in my opinion. For the price, I can't recommend a better quality speaker.
