Or Pair up two SONOS:PLAY3 together to create a Left+Right Stereo pair: Have a separate Zone for each speaker (so you can play a different song on each speaker): The SONOS Desktop Controller is an all-in-one application where you can hook up new SONOS speakers, set up new Zones, and also the media player for your SONOS set-up.Īssuming you have more than 1 SONOS speaker, you can set-up different zones such as your Bedroom, Kitchen, Living Room, and many more. Installations were very clear and in minutes I could already connect them all up together through my Windows PC. Setting up the SONOS PLAY:3 is also really simple even when I had 2 speaker units and the SONOS BRIDGE to take care of. This is great as I have a variety of devices at home (MacBook Air, Windows Desktop, Samsung Galaxy SII, iPhone 4, iPad) and I can control the music from anything, anywhere at home! SONOS PLAY:3 Review – Overall Experience SONOS PLAY:3 has volume control buttons on the body although you can control the volume through the software in your computer (Mac or PC) and your smartphones (Android or iOS devices). They also have rubber feet underneath so you can always keep the body scratch free and stay still on any surface. According to the product spec, the EQ also automatically adjusts the sound according to the orientation, so you will always hear the best sound quality. This may sound trivial but in practice, it’s a really great idea. This allows you to fit the speaker into tight spots/corners (such as in the bathroom if you are into music listening while having a bubble bath) or to fit your interior design overall. It has a unique design because you can place it horizontally or vertically. The review units I have come in White as you can see from the photos (though I think Black looks sexier): SONOS PLAY:3 comes in 2 colors – Black and White. If you don’t understand what the jargons mean, suffice to say that the speaker is able deliver a clean and high quality output, even at its size. The SONOS PLAY:3 is a compact speaker but deep down, it is a 3 driver speaker system (1 tweeter, 2 mid-range drivers, and 1 bass radiator). A driver CD SONOS PLAY:3 Review – Design.A network cable (to be hooked up to your wireless router). ![]() You can of course buy a single SONOS PLAY:3 speaker unit although you cannot feel the full experience without another and also without the BRIDGE. The review units I got were 2 SONOS PLAY:3 speaker units and the SONOS BRIDGE (ZoneBridge 100). When they announced the new SONOS PLAY:3, I was given a chance to experience and find out what the big fuzz was all about. Now imagine the possibilities you can go with that! Surprisingly, I wasn’t aware that we can control much more than that (more on this later). All I knew was that you can set-up as many SONOS wireless speakers as you want in the house and they can play the same music you control/set in high audio quality. I’ve heard about SONOS speaker systems for so many times in the past but this is my first chance to have the opportunity to experience and review their products. UPDATE: As of 3rd September 2014, you no longer need a SONOS Bridge. ![]() Note: This is our review of SONOS PLAY:3.
