- Region and home layout: Taipei’s old shabby mansion was transformed into an open space
- Primary use case: The living room is about 7 square meters, with streaming platforms, YT and B stations, listening to music, PS5, and recently started to receive Blu-ray double-layer Dolby sources for testing. Let’s take a look.
- Core setup: arc + five2 + sub3 + Era 3002
How They Got In and Why They Chose Sonos
Section titled “How They Got In and Why They Chose Sonos”- Entry point: I originally purchased a complete set from Bose and was disgraced by the buyer because of the rear surround. After I saw the unboxing text of the blind sniper, I started to lose my mind.
- Cross-brand comparison: I actually thought about switching to the A9M series, but unknown things are interesting.
- One line for beginners: Allocate more of your audio-visual equipment budget to speakers. You will find that your ears have been treated too badly in the past.
Room Setup and Tuning
Section titled “Room Setup and Tuning”- Placement and constraints: I didn’t think about wall-mounting when decorating, so I relied on tripods and tabletop stands.
- Trueplay feedback: After forming a complete set, there is no adjustment.
- Subwoofer decision: No, as a squirrel, it is natural to collect everything.
Day-to-Day Experience
Section titled “Day-to-Day Experience”- What they like most about Sonos: My wife is satisfied and no buyer has ever complained after taking it home.
- Who likes Sonos the most at home: I’m lucky that my wife doesn’t mind. The cat at home probably hates Sonos for taking away his resting space.
- Mistaken for other gear: It should be difficult. When guests come, I will get excited and start introducing and playing demonstration videos and music.
Pain Points and Wishlist
Section titled “Pain Points and Wishlist”- Most frustrating issue: Compared to BOSE, it doesn’t have an international warranty, although the warranty rate is shockingly high.
- Feature request: The TV box will be released soon…
Test Content and Preferences
Section titled “Test Content and Preferences”- Music used for testing: Since there are so many recommendations, why not just let the guests play what they like to listen to?
- Movies used for testing: Compared to streaming, Blu-ray Dolby Double Layer Comfort can satisfy various lighting achievements.
Additional Notes
Section titled “Additional Notes”- Animal analogy for Sonos: It should be cows, especially dairy cows. The space is flexible and versatile and can meet the diverse needs of people.
- Most absurd thing they did: Keep doing it, carrying the arcu up and down the elevator to each buyer who picks it up. At first, he would sprain his waist and heels, so he had to start practicing to avoid injuries XD
- Dream setup if budget was unlimited: How about buying an object near the MRT and turning it into a SONOS museum, collecting products from the past to the present?
- Final note: I remember that when I first got out of society and received my salary, the first few purchases I made to reward myself were to buy a small theater set. The result was not as good as SONY’s virtual surround headphones. Later, as the space changed, I tried it a few times, but I always felt that it was a little bit less interesting. Since I got the full set, I finally have the taste of a man’s happiness being so simple and satisfying. Immerse yourself in your own world and relax after being busy. The cost may be high at the beginning, but the happiness it brings you can last for many years. It is really a good deal.
- Top-ranked device: Five, I felt comfortable using it as a back surround at first, but then I felt a little lost after 300. Fortunately, I got another pair back, and my life is complete (Amazon JP Purchase)
