Sonos prices dropping in most stores if you are interested. I recently got a Sonos 1 for €220 and now available for €190

These are only 143€ in Dixons Dublin Airport. Play 3 and Play 5 also reduced a bit. Cheapest I've ever seen the Play 1

Carlosthejakal · 28-11-2016 1:31pm

Cheapest I have seen on in a while € 168 as above

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

Yggr of Asgard · 28-11-2016 2:17pm

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.

Bought 2 of these today in Dublin Airport today for €143 each - guy told ne this was the last day of their "Black Friday" sale - great bargain

wawaman · 16-12-2016 10:52am

does anyone know how likely the play 1 is to go down in price in the after christmas sales?

Use the PriceSpy app or website. Great tool to check historical prices of items.
At the moment the Play 1 is around â‚¬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.

degsie · 16-12-2016 11:59am

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..

devildriver · 21-12-2016 11:11am

Sonos Play:1

£134.10

on Amazon

brevity · 21-12-2016 11:27am

Would love one of these.

clevtrev · 21-12-2016 12:30pm

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.

Sue Pa Key Pa · 21-12-2016 2:28pm

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 · 21-12-2016 4:01pm

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!

Kirijoleth · 21-12-2016 9:30pm

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.

setanta1000 · 22-12-2016 10:36am

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!

gmisk · 22-12-2016 10:52am

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?

BobMc · 22-12-2016 11:59pm

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? !)

Panrich · 23-12-2016 12:33am

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.

WittyName1 · 23-12-2016 10:37pm

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.

devildriver · 21-04-2017 12:11pm

The Play:1 jumped to £199 on Amazon for a few months after I bought mine.

It's back down to £189 now but still a far cry from the rockbottom £134!

:eek:

BobMc · 21-04-2017 12:20pm

was advertised about a big price increase some time back, they must be selling them if they arent dropping down in price

Got an email from SONOS celebrating 15 years;

To celebrate our anniversary, we're offering 15% off any one-time order before 15th September 2017. Simply use the code 15Y-KWK4KN54WS at the checkout. Here's to the next 15 years!

Took the plunge on the play base, 679 euro. Ordered Thursday night 7th Sept, received it Monday 10th. Ships from Holland.

MaceFace · 13-09-2017 5:35pm

Took the plunge myself. Expert electrical selling playbar and sub for 699 each, so another 15% to be claimed back from Sonos. Bargain but still a lot of money.

Will that actually work? I was under the impression that the 15% rebate is only given on full price items.

Yeah, read a lot of feedback of people who bought from John Lewis and Amazon as they were cheaper and they were getting back 15% of the purchase price.
I have to say, the folks in the shop didn't have a breeze and I had to wait a while for the sonos rep to confirm and share details of code.

Rafloution · 13-09-2017 10:59pm

Anyone have 15% off they are not using please?

Thanks in advance

You can buy from an authorised reseller (Expert, Currys, Harverys etc.) and they will give you a code you can claim the 15% back on.

You pay normal price (whatever that is) in the store, and claim the 15% of purchase price back from Sonos. They say it will be in your bank account (so cash) in 30 days iirc.
