I suspect that mold is not as narrow as you think. I bought most of my Sonos setup over a decade ago and it's still going strong because I never upgraded from the S1 app. It's the newer S2 app that has been horrendous.
I would not buy or recommend new Sonos products now. Occasionally I do think about adding to my setup but since the update debacle that's no longer an option. Over the years my Sonos has been pretty reliable, and very importantly, the wife and kids can use it easily. We just want "Play X in Room Y." It works very well for that. Even my nerdy self is OK with that... I have plenty of other things to nerd/worry about and I just want my music to play.
I did have a period of instability after I moved some Sonos speakers around, and I must say their tech support was pretty good (this was maybe four years ago). They looked at my logs and told me it was a weak signal issue, which I thought was ridiculous and initially dismissed... but after digging some more and troubleshooting my home signals, it turns out they were right.
Old Sonos with old S1 app is still great for me! It really pains me to see how far they have fallen.
- eawgewag 2y agoI was an S1 app user as well, I've never even used or heard of S2 until the recent drama. I think it's worth highlighting that "Play X in Room Y" mandates defined rooms, and if you are in any kind of living situation in which this is not the case, Sonos is not right for you. As a long time apartment/condo dweller, Sonos basically can't do what I'm looking for.
