Dumb question - do you have to take them with you or can you pick them up on the way back?

If you are traveling within the EU you can do the Shop & Collect Service from the Loop (which Dixon is part of), which means you can collect the item on your return to Ireland.

Use the PriceSpy app or website. Great tool to check historical prices of items.
At the moment the Play 1 is around €178 from Amazon, around the lowest price it's ever been, so possibly no. Hard to say for certain but that would be my guess. The price on Amazon is also helped by the sterling conversion too.

Sonos Play 1 currently £145 on Amazon.

They'll be mandatory in every home soon for surveillance, with a ten euro subsidy payment.

Are you sure you're not thinking of the Amazon Echo?
Sonos is just a wireless speaker as far as I know.
The Echo is Orwell's Telescreen incarnated..

Would love one of these.

I see amazon has the sonos play 5 reduced to £350 (for those with more stately sized homes).

Or more tolerant neighbours :pac:

That's brilliant value for the new model play 5 (I have the older one).

They cost about €570 in shops here when they came out, and you rarely see them less than €520 in stores.

I should never have started this thread. My wife says I have an addiction to Sonos and these updates lead to me feeding my habit . I do like the system

the perfect ten

I have to agree - it is a brilliant system. I have three of the older units - 2 ZP100s and 1 ZP 90. But I couldn't resist the temptation to buy a Play 1 when the price dropped on Amazon!

I got the Sonos play 5 on Amazon a few weeks ago and didn't think much of it until I started tweaking the sound (turned off loudness and turned down the bass). I'm loving it now, sounds fantastic only problem now is the rest of the family want to use it too.

Have to agree that the Sonos is brilliant; as much for its very intuitive interface and seamless integration with Spotify and TuneIn Radio as much as its excellent sound.  The fact that my technophobe wife and the kids could play music or radio after 30 seconds of instruction has opened up a world of music for them.  However, the bigger items like the sub and soundbar are crazy expensive and I'm not sure if they are worth the money when compared to separates with possibly better soundscapes...still .....if I won the lotto Sonos would be the first thing I'd buy without question!

I ordered one yesterday to my folks house in northern ireland (due on Friday)
I did try one previously in a mates house and thought it was terrific, seems like a great deal, it linked very easily to deezer...I am guessing it also works ok with podcasts on an android device?

How much better than the 1 is the 5?
Did you audition them?
Just wondering if the near twice the price is justified?

Depends on room size in my opinion. I've 2x play 5s 1x play 3 and 1x play 1. Daughter has play 1 in small bedroom killer sound in the space. we use the 5 in kitchen/diner. play 3 in large master. And the other 5 we lug around where needed in the house would love soundbar but savage money.

Did you ever stop to think you might have a Sonos problem Bob? !)

Could this play sound from an internet stream or from video streams? Total novice in this area and wondering if my football radio stream from my teams site can be played? The feed would not be on things like TuneIn etc. Not really into music all that much and have radios in the kitchen and bedroom already.

No, unfortunately not. AFAIK it is a closed system and you can only play audio from services that have already integrated with Sonos.

There may be a way to do what you want based on one of the integrations that Sonos have but I am not aware of it.

I did a bit of research online, I had heard the play 1 in a neighbour's house and went to PC World where they had a Play 5. The play 5 is perfect for the room I use it in (a fairly big kitchen dining room). I think the play 5 is the only speaker you can plug in an external audio jack so I can play music from youtube from my laptop or hook up my iPod.

That is not completely true when it comes to Radio Streams.

You can manually add Radio Stations to play via the Sonos App (Manage / Add Radio Station) as long as you have the URL and there is no need to authentication on the stream itself (aka username/password).

Video Streams however won't work to a Play, they only work together with the Playbar and your Telly or via a Play 5 audio in from your Telly.

Any thoughts on whether these will reduce again after Christmas? Not sure whether to bite the bullet and buy now or in Jan. (Play 1)

As I type the Play 1 is £149 it was £134.10 two days ago for a while. I am waiting for it to drop again myself.
