Normann P. Nielsen 1.1 1 So, I decided to test Sonos for my kitchen and bought an Era 300 (the Five was both to large and expensive - and I have read a few reviews that the Era was more nuanced...)

3 First time - see my intial test at [[Sonos Arc + Sub + 2 x Era 300 (Surround sæt)>>Main.anmeldelser.sonos-arc-sub-2-x-era-300-surround-saet]] and second time - the purchase/return at Blog.incoming-sonos

5 Got the speaker and installed (OMG) [[the new and not apprised app>>https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/08/app-redesign-blowback-will-cost-sonos-up-to-30-million-ceo-says/]].

11 Hanging app, suddenly no products found after successful setup, firmware update stalling/failing etc etc.

13 Well - in short, I got it running finally....
14
15 But - I was so disapointed again for a speaker to +3000 dkr...
16
17 An Yes - I did trueplay it....
18
19 So I bought a Denon Home 250 for a comparison, and it kicked the Era's ass as a single kitchen speaker... in both apperance and sound.

21 So, that was the final journey for Sonos and yours truely, i do think its an overated hyped product...
