How They Got In and Why They Chose Sonos
Section titled “How They Got In and Why They Chose Sonos”- Entry point: I accidentally discovered the SONOS club and got to know Cai Da
- Cross-brand comparison: Before SONOS, I used a complete set of Bose 900, but the speaker 700 rear surround was too weak, and there was no sky channel, so the sound at the rear was weak, and it felt like it was just there to explain the sound. At the same time, the price was not affordable. But since studying Era 300, I have discovered that real rear surround speakers should behave like this, and when listening to music, the app turns on the “ambient” mode, so that all speakers can sound, immersing yourself in the music bubble🫧.
- One line for beginners: Please buy without thinking with your eyes closed.
Room Setup and Tuning
Section titled “Room Setup and Tuning”- Placement and constraints: Use SonoSequencr for theater mode. For the front speakers, an additional TV cabinet was built to support the Era 300, which is perfect.
- Trueplay feedback: Because using SonoSequencr, there is no special TRUEPLAY
- Subwoofer decision: I haven’t bought it yet, but the AU bass is powerful enough for now.
Day-to-Day Experience
Section titled “Day-to-Day Experience”- What they like most about Sonos: You can slowly expand it according to your own budget, and you can use SonoSequencr to connect the big theater. Although the left and right channels are not accurate enough to produce sound, SonoSequencr is the point where I decided to get involved immediately. Of course, Cai Da’s handsomeness and enthusiasm are also one of the reasons🤣🤣🤣 (Can I get 500?)
- Who likes Sonos the most at home: myself, cat
- Mistaken for other gear: I personally feel that AU is very similar to the Golden Cudgel
Pain Points and Wishlist
Section titled “Pain Points and Wishlist”- Most frustrating issue: Taiwanese agents make a lot of money, so many netizens choose to bring them back overseas themselves, or purchase them on behalf of others. Therefore, the sales price in Taiwan is negotiable.
- Feature request: Sonos app can be integrated with SonoSequencr and then turn on TRUPLAY, which will be a big plus👍
Test Content and Preferences
Section titled “Test Content and Preferences”- Music used for testing: That Year, Our Summer (Korean Drama); Doctor Smart 1, 2 (Korean Drama)
- Movies used for testing: Slam Dunk, Kuthra, All Quiet on the Western Front
Additional Notes
Section titled “Additional Notes”- Animal analogy for Sonos: Taiwanese buffalo. Because it is very pragmatic and has a high CP value, if you work silently, you can maximize its effect in any space.
- Most absurd thing they did: Just for the front left and right Era 300 speakers, and then custom-made the exclusive speaker cabinet, it took a lot of trouble.
- Dream setup if budget was unlimited: Purchase a complete set for each room🥳
- Final note: Sonos is suitable for the living room. But Bose900 was not retired, and later decided to put it in the master bedroom, so that there is a small amount of enjoyment in a small space😋
- Top-ranked device: Era 300, a small effort makes a big difference, a small structure can bring out panoramic sound, just like the voice of God (is this too exaggerated🤣) (Amazon JP Purchase)
