Sonos fail - 3rd time a fool

Last modified by Normann P. Nielsen on 2025/12/12 14:48

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...)

First time - see my intial test at Sonos Arc + Sub + 2 x Era 300 (Surround sæt) and second time - the purchase/return at Blog.incoming-sonos

Got the speaker and installed (OMG) the new and not apprised app.

Here is a sample of the setup struggles:

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

Well - in short, I got it running finally....

But - I was so disapointed again for a speaker to +3000 dkr...

An Yes - I did trueplay it....

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.

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