Speaker sounds fantastic, setup went smoothly, wireless music streaming & syncing with other speakers in my house is amazing. However, there is a 75 ms delay on any & all 3.5mm Auxiliary inputs. If you are also planning using this as a speaker for your computer or as an amp for a guitar, bass, DJ equipment, or other instrument with the 3.5 mm input, just be aware that the audio will be delayed an appreciable amount. Most PC applications have solutions to delay the video by a set amount (75 ms in this case), but if you want to use this speaker hooked up to an instrument, there is a significant amount of input lag that does not match the notes you are playing. I.E., if you pick a note on guitar, you will not hear the sound output until 75 ms later, or about 1/32 note @ 100 beats/minute)

I have 8 Play:3 speakers in my home and a few Play:1 speakers. They are all phenomenal sounding. So I jumped on a great deal for a Play:5 speaker hoping to get much better sound and deeper lows due to the larger drivers. Sadly it is only slightly better sounding than a Play:3 speaker. Because I was able to buy it for the price of a Play:3 used I am happy with it. but I would never buy one new as the price difference and larger size only delivers marginally better sound. It's the first Sonos product that I though was not worth it's retail new price.

I love the entire Sonos line and design. They are well made, sound great, and easy to set up and network. The flexibility of being able to listen to home wide or broken down into smaller zones easily is amazing. They are a bit spendier than most other systems, but I think they are worth it.

Without a doubt, the Play:5 is as good a speaker as my ears have ever heard. I now have a pair that I have set up in my office for stereo listening. It's fault? The original Play:5 is not surround sound capable. Given that Sonos designed the Play:3 speaker to be set up in the surround sound mode, I think the Gen 1 version of the Play:5 that followed the Play:3 should have had that capability as well. Sonos finally did get around to modifying the Play:5 Gen 2 with surround sound capability, but at a heftier price. I'll keep my Play:3s for that purpose.

Sonos is a terrific product so if you can find a deal, you're better off. eBay's typical price of $250 or so beats the Sonos list price of $500. I've bought several Sonos One's and Five's from both Sonos and eBay. I have found that the one from eBay are in like-new condition, but always read the description.
