Sonos was a cool trick in 2012, when getting multiple network connected speakers synced wasn’t an out of the box experience.
I threw my Sonos out after their previous re-invention. I use Apple TV connected speakers to stream any media nowadays.
Say the app was working flawlessly, what advantage does using Sonos provide in 2024?
What other options are there for multi-zone, multi-source audio systems?
Their apps have been slow and inconsistent and all attempt at a rewrite just made it worse.
If I hadn't gotten a free Arc as part of a beta test, I'd probably be looking for replacements already but since some Play 1s, a Sub, some Play 3s and the Arc are at least somewhat in a working state, I just try not to worry about it, unless I have to open the app, which just makes me annoyed for a few seconds.
Sonos should've stuck with being a little player in the market instead of trying to play catch-up with the big boys. Even their stock is barely holding on to a few bucks more than they IPO'd with.
