The editors didn't like
Those who thirst for bass might want to look elsewhere. Sport Hooks might not work to well for those with smaller ears. At extremely high bitrates – there was some slight distortion
It doesn't have any other connectivity other than Wi-Fi
Sound gets distorted at high volumes
No option to hook to a larger AV setup
Needs hardwired connection or $50 more for wireless
No aux input for direct listening from a mobile device
Needs the Sonos Bridge to function wirelessly (not included)
Sonos Desktop Controller does not automatically update your music library
You need the disc vault to store your Blurays
The system is expensive
And the Kscape doesn't support HD music files (yet)
Requires at least one Sonos unit connected to router via ethernet
Price when rated
$299
Don't deliver room shaking bass
$300 a speaker
Still need to buy a box to connect them to your home's wireless network
Frustrating software controlsSlightly priceyMuddy bass at top volumes
The Play
3 has almost no stereo separation and doesn't offer the detail and clarity of the step-up Play
5. Also
While it can wirelessly interact with other Sonos products
You'll need a hard-wired connection or the $49 wireless Sonos Bridge accessory if
Unlike the Play
5
No standard inputs. Requires the Sonos Bridge or a direct Ethernet connection to your router. Bass could be more refined
Mids can sound a little distorted
No standard speaker inputs
I.e. only compatible with other Sonos gear
Sonos' cheapest all-in-one speaker at $299 is still pricey
$49 Bridge or no $49 Bridge
That's the question
No line-in or headphone jacks like the bigger Play

The Play:3 (in league with a free controller app and compatible mobile device) makes the Sonos experience affordable for a greater number of people. As evidenced by my other reviews of Sonos products, I'm completely sold. My guess is that when you hear a...
Abstract: Wireless audio has come of age in 2011, with new AirPlay-equipped docks and micro systems appearing on a seemingly daily basis. Sonos, of course, has been making streaming stereos since the dark ages (well, 2005), but with so much new competition, can it ...
Connects easily to my WiFi Network, even for another PLAY:3 connected to my repeater. TruePlay tuning achieved best possible sound settings in my room's unique acoustics. Sonos App quickly loads up music services and songs from NAS drive, and contains man

Being sandwiched in the middle In terms of price point, the PLAY:3 is like that unfortunate middle child. The smallest gets the most attention while the largest is the flagship. But therein lies its special niche! I will recommend it to those who wants so...

Diseño con soporte para disposición horizontal o vertical, Conectividad Wi-Fi para uso autónomo, Sincronización con varias unidades para una verdadera experiencia estéreo, Muy buena calidad de sonido general
No posee soporte para asistentes virtuales, No tiene conectividad Bluetooth ni AirPlay 2, No cuenta con entrada auxiliar de 3.5 mm
El altavoz autoamplificado inalámbrico wifi SONOS Play:3 es una alternativa a tener en cuenta entre los amantes de la música que busquen la libertad de lo inalámbrico, anden faltos de espacio y cuenten con una adecuada conexión wifi. Aunque lejos de lo qu...

Un style indémodable, Une belle qualité de finition, Un son précis et chaleureux, Une puissance surprenante, Un packaging séduisant,
Pas d'entrées son (jack, RCA, optique, HDMI...), Ni Airplay, ni bluetooth, Une configuration décourageante, Une interface Mac indigne du produit, Une image sonore perfectible
Stylée sans être prétentieuse, la Play:3 est sans conteste un bel objet, dont le son peut ravir n'importe quel amateur pas trop exigeant côté basses. Mais en l'absence de connectiques (RCA, jack, bluetooth), la prise en main via l'appli maison est si chao...
