How They Got In and Why They Chose Sonos
Section titled “How They Got In and Why They Chose Sonos”- Entry point: I’ve always known about this brand, but couldn’t find a place where I could try it out. Finally, after listening to it in Kerui, I directly wired the money.
- Cross-brand comparison: When I tried out the full set of Sony A9M2 at Max Audio, I resisted the urge to buy impulsively. Since I hadn’t tried out SONOS, I couldn’t make a comparison. Later, I learned that Corey could try it out and immediately made an appointment. After listening to it, I found that the performance of Sonos was even better, with a fuller mid-range and deeper low-frequency penetration. Whether it was watching an action movie, or listening to a song, the instruments and vocals were more pleasing to the ear. I immediately transferred the money and moved out the full set without any suspense.
- One line for beginners: You have enough budget~just go to the top
Room Setup and Tuning
Section titled “Room Setup and Tuning”- Placement and constraints: There is no space on the sofa wall to put a speaker stand, so I had to reluctantly drill into the wall to hang it
- Trueplay feedback: There is/a wider sense of space and an improved sense of envelopment
- Subwoofer decision: No need to struggle at all
Day-to-Day Experience
Section titled “Day-to-Day Experience”- What they like most about Sonos: Playability, expandability and ease of operation
- Who likes Sonos the most at home: The whole family loves it
- Mistaken for other gear: None, but the overall matching of black products and TV cabinets is highly consistent
Pain Points and Wishlist
Section titled “Pain Points and Wishlist”- Most frustrating issue: Think about it later
- Feature request: The official app integrates all settings +tureplay
Test Content and Preferences
Section titled “Test Content and Preferences”- Music used for testing: apple Music space audio is available, everyone has different preferences
- Movies used for testing: Godzilla 1.0, All Quiet on the Western Front
Additional Notes
Section titled “Additional Notes”- Animal analogy for Sonos: Cicadas, integrated into home furnishings, seem inconspicuous but become a blockbuster
- Most absurd thing they did: Customized wooden slat elevated TV
- Dream setup if budget was unlimited: At present, I am satisfied with all of them. If I have the opportunity, I will buy speakers in other spaces to create a whole-room Sonos ecosystem.
- Final note: 1. We look forward to the original app integrating third-party software, adding Era 300, Five and other devices to the front, and enabling full Trueplay. 2. I hope that the Era 300 can exert 100% of its power in the front-end state. I want to listen to the sense of envelopment in this state, which should be able to sublimate the listening experience.
- Top-ranked device: Most of the whole set is very strong. The whole set is now impeccable. With such performance in the field of wireless soundbars, there should be no rivals in this price range.
