Foreword
First of all, I would like to thank Zhang Aunt for giving me a chance to test the Sonos PLAY:5 sound.
Those who are interested in the Sonos PLAY:5 (hereinafter referred to as Sonos5) but do not want to see my nonsense can go down and see the advantages and disadvantages. But before testing the nonsense of the text, I still have to say, this is a good speaker. What's the good? Let me be careful.
First of all, let us talk about the conclusion.
Sonos is a speaker system that strongly depends on the resources of the network (LAN NAS/LAN host server/Internet online library). It can provide good but not worthy playback quality and simplify operations. It is suitable for those who do not like gongs and drums equipment, just want to quietly listen to songs. In the face of sonos Play: 5 close to the 4k price, perhaps sonos Play: 1 as a bedside speaker is also a good choice. Do what it takes and Sonos's product line plan is still good.
If you are a Hifi player or you are a very "player" user, Sonos's All in one philosophy may not be for you.
Appearance / Unboxing
When SF gave me the parcel, I was a bit too much to eat. The reason is...too heavy.
There are 9.5kg pieces on the delivery list. It's a big guy!
The Kokuyo HA-S100 safety knife and Tajima LB30H blade are still responsible for unpacking. (This is all the tools that were left by hand.)
Out of the box! Alas, the bottom left corner seems to have suffered some abuses. Your courier service has yet to be improved. In fact, after observing carefully, there are some blemishes in the star anise... well, hopefully the box will be okay.
The art design of the outer package of Sonos5 belongs to the middle and upper level, but because of some material problems, some of the outer box's worn-out color falls off more seriously, affecting the effect. Sonos5 sent this time is a white version, and the official experience shop also has a free painting service. It seems that personalization is not embarrassing.
but! Compared to the packaging of "most of" the speaker products, SONOS has obviously done well enough, but the art design is actually nothing at all.
Instructions on how to open the box are printed next to the front handle. This is the most amazing part of the entire packaging design.
On both sides of the small organization, in order to prevent accidental shedding, tape sealed and lined with paper support. The details are very hard.
After tearing off the tape, the paper supports will fall off. No need to worry about it.
With a bang (this switch turned out to be a gear), pull it to the other side and lift the handle.
so big! In order to explain how big it is, I specially invited my girlfriend on the day of opening the box to make a model for everyone to explain its size.
Through the sun, you can also easily see the structure inside the net cover: 3 sets of dual-unit speakers.
After removing the speaker is the lower accessory box.
It is worth mentioning that the packaging foam of sonos5 does not use the fragile foam that is common to everybody, but it has been treated with compaction. The texture is very good.
Some paper materials, a power cord, a twisted pair, neatly placed in the accessory box.
User Information / Warranty Document / Getting Started Guide List of all accessories.
The host side is wrapped in two layers of plastic paper, and the outer shell is integrated into the outer shell. The skin is treated with the shell of the skin. The feel and perception are very good. In short, the face value is very high. The packaging is very hard.
Installation/control
No special skills are needed. For Sonos5, you only need to put it at home, plug in the power supply, use the WiFi in your home, and use Sonos' own control software to make simple settings. Sonos can work.
This power cord is custom-made and has a good texture. Of course, you can also connect ordinary eight-character lines, but the beauty may have to be discounted.
Below is the cable/3.5 line input/reset button
SONOS body control buttons are concentrated on the top edge
Suspend/continue playing loud sounds There will be feedback sounds when the volume is small. Sliding from a small volume to a loud volume is the next song, and vice versa. As an All in One home music terminal, the Sonos5's I/O panel and body operating buttons are simply terrible. This simplicity with the power button omitted is something traditional HIFI users find difficult to accept.
The next step is naturally the Sonos control terminal program.
Place the speakers, plug in the power, and connect to the sonos controller APP on the iPhone. After registering for the first pairing, a firmware update prompt pops up and we update the firmware. The current version looks like this:
The next step is to add music service options. Including Apple Music/QQ Music/Last.fm/Mimi/Himalayan/Multi-meter/Everyday/Netease/Cook/Shrimp/Watercress/Fm/蜻蜓fm/Cool Me/Cool fm and so on at home and abroad for your use and you can't use The music platform can be added correctly, then you can bind your own ID to grab the previous favorites. If you are a user who listens to music online often, then the music library is ready to go.
In addition to the online music service, the full range of Sonos also allows the controller to play its own body music Push to Sonos. The reason why such an awkward statement is used is that the sonos control program is not only the iPhone but also the PC. As far as the AUX line input is not available on sonos Play:1, it seems that only sonos5 is equipped with line input. And even more painful is that if you are not connected to the network, you cannot control the sonos5, and if you cannot control the sonos5, you cannot switch the source to the line input - in other words, if you do not have wifi, you have to insert the root line to On the router, no network, this speaker is a dumb.
There are four points to mention here.
The PC side allows the local music library to point to the network folder so that the music library can point to the music stored in the NAS. After the computer is shut down, the sonos can still call its shared music library from the NAS , and all these settings are very convenient. .
You can search the local music library on the mobile phone side. In other words, the local search on the phone can search for the PC you are using as a master or library, or you can search for the NAS, as long as the corresponding settings are made.
Network music library can link all music services when searching. The previous embarrassment is no more. The feeling of searching several platforms in one breath is really cool. One cannot be the other. However, this benefit is currently only available on the mobile app, and the PC-side control program cannot do this.
Although you can equip your sonos system with multiple sonos controllers (such as mobile phones/tablets/PCs), they are seamlessly synchronized .
Sonos's management of the speakers is also very interesting. The unit that manages the speakers is not a single machine but a room. For example, you can set up a speaker in the bedroom and two in the living room. They can play any music you want to play without disturbing each other. And use a mobile phone or pc to complete the configuration. At the same time, the volume/track can be quickly configured on any control terminal.
Sonos succeeded in replacing the home music center in a distributed way. Any terminal on which the controller program is installed becomes a multi-function remote controller. This idea is undoubtedly very advanced.
Trueplay technology
Trueplay is one of the important selling points of the sonos music system. As the independent speaker's flagship second generation Play:5, it will naturally not fall.
What is Trueplay? This starts with the things that have the most impact on speaker playback quality: acoustic decoration.
Everyone knows that the singer's CD is going to the recording studio. In addition to various professional equipment, the recording studio is a recording studio. The more important point is that the recording studio is equipped with "professional acoustic decoration." For the average family user, everyone does not care about this, nor can they give up the wall decoration at home to engage in professional sound-absorbing sponges. The result is that even the best playback quality is ruined by the unbearable acoustic environment.
The emergence of digital tuner can effectively solve this problem, but we can not ask one. How to do it? The sonos system gives the solution is their trueplay technology.
Simply put, using the phone's microphone, through the room measurement, sonos may adjust the balance between each group of speakers (they may be directional), or make some adjustments on the EQ, playing a tuning The role of the division. Currently this technology can only be used on iOS-based devices.
What is the actual effect?
Hey... It's a little bit effective, but it's not very obvious. It may be that this function is better for a complex room made up of multiple speakers. There may be a great advantage in adjusting the leveling of the volume.
Sound/listening
For the speakers, listening is always the most important part. After all, the speaker is a playback device. You can be beautiful again, and the sound is zero. So for such a speaker, including the 4K level of price and home positioning, what music we should choose to test it?
Between tests, we must point out one thing, that is, the source of the problem. Sonos's audio signal is basically from online music library service (of course, the pursuit of sound quality friends can use mobile music library push or NAS library server call). This created a dilemma of " the quality of online music library slag, no matter how good the quality is ." However, experienced players all know that even if the quality of the source is significantly behind (128K MP3 CBR), a person who is not deliberately AB, it is difficult to distinguish it from 320CBR or lossless (lossless). Considering that at present the domestic online music library service providers will basically provide more than 128K. It can be said that the impact is also relatively limited.
A good playback device with better sound effects is better, but even if the sound source is not ideal, a good playback system still has a great sense of hearing.
The following subjective hearing test, under conditional conditions, we also perform AB with 320CBR and online audio as much as possible.
The first album from Taiwan's Cicada: "Over the sea/Under the water."
Although the cover of the record is slightly disgusting, the music itself is very fresh - it is basically "classical" music based on piano/traditional strings. The piano is a good test of the dynamics of the speakers, and the string has always been the focus of the treble.
Sonos5 clearly shows its strength. It has a good interpretation of the two main parts of the disc: piano and violin. Its quality fully satisfies the need for appreciation, and a voice can basically judge the basic direction of this box: popular and intermediate frequency. This trend is also basically in line with the positioning of the Sonos system: it serves most people who just want to listen quietly to music. These people do not care about what tri-band parsing dynamics.
Sonos's voice has a neutral warm tone and performs well in the mid-range. Then, let's try the general pop music.
This is a universal youth hostel that everyone is familiar with.

In the well-known "Kill the Shijiazhuang People", Sonos' performance is not bad, and the small band and the popular trend are very good. We have enough reason to believe this speaker is popular and popular. Both iconic male voices performed well.

Next is Sakamoto Ryuichi’s “Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrenceâ€
Under the classical music of the genius, we tested many characteristics of Sonos5: including the control of treble, the degree of separation and dynamic performance.
Obviously sonos is not a product that wants to be amazing in terms of separation and dynamic performance. However, in fact, the performance of Sonos5 in this area does not have the impression that people enjoy music.
About this song we tested the difference between APE and different versions and AUX and mobile phone push.
We used Akihabara's 3.5 pairs of recording lines for line input. Even so we experienced a strong noise floor. Therefore, I guess this speaker also uses the ADA line input. .
In addition, it may also be the problem of the recording level. Under the high-quality sound file AB, we heard some small differences in the middle and later stages.
In contrast to the author's R2000DB, another set of entertainment speakers, the texture of sonos5 won. (Reference to this site out of the box drying list: http://post.smzdm.com/p/374880/)
The next thing to test is that the unicorns are familiar with the unicorn up to the OST
Audition address: http://
In the Unicorn theme and MSGUCEP7, Sonos showed a better texture for the interpretation of complex music. However, I have to say that it is not ideal to achieve overtones and separation in some parts.
I suspect that it is a sound source problem. After using a 320k sound source, this problem has not been fundamentally improved. This also explains the upper limit of the box quality to some extent.
When we switched to female songs such as Sternengesang, sonos5 performed better than just now.

Finally we tested electronic music
Uh huh! The verb is great! Cool to .jpg
Specifically, in terms of electronic music, the low frequencies exhibited by sonos5 are not hypertrophic nor protracted by elasticity. Although the amount is insufficient, it is exquisite. The treble of the Lead Department does not have much discomfort. There are not many problems common to speakers playing electronic dances - treble deep bass.
