I bought a set of Sonos speakers for Christmas one year. They went back on Boxing Day because they were completely useless as they'd only play music via some bizarre app that couldn't read the formats and you couldn't just use Bluetooth so you're SOL if the place you get your media from hasn't "partnered" with Sonos.
Such a scam.
- alar44 5y agoIt's not a scam. It's a zone based music delivery system, not a standalone Bluetooth speaker. You bought the wrong thing.
- Nextgrid 5y agoThere's no reason one speaker can't act as a standard Bluetooth audio sink and then convert that to its proprietary wireless protocol & distribute it to the rest of the speakers.
- alar44 5y agoYeah there is, there's a framework built behind it. That would require building a completely different system for something it isn't really designed to do. I think a large portion of their customers probably prefer that isn't a feature as it's frequently used in business and they want to specifically control speakers to serve different audio and don't want people tampering with it. There are far cheaper Bluetooth speakers with better audio quality. When you buy Sonos stuff, the whole idea is having multiple/many of them. That's the entire point of the product.
