Hey Rebel-thanks for stopping by! Funny you should ask, as I just placed them vertically for the first time. Keep in mind, I’m using a stereo pair, so this is Sonos' preferred orientation. Now, I’d love to tell you that I noticed a major difference in the sound signature, but I didn’t. However, you’ll be able to direct the sound to a particular listening position with much more precision, which does change the sound a bit, but it’s not a total game changer. That’s not to say there aren’t folks out there who might notice a significant difference, especially those with a more advanced listening ability-but unfortunately, I’m not that guy, lol. If you’re only planning on using one speaker, then horizontal is definitely the way to go, as this allows you to hear stereo imaging from just one speaker. Placing a single speaker vertically will switch it to a mono signal, so keep that in mind. Hope this helps, Rebel! Feel free to ask any follow-up questions you may have-I'm happy to help! Take care! ✌️🤟

Hello, e4TV-thanks for stopping by! It sounds like your boyfriend is experiencing data throttling. While T-Mobile’s 5G home internet is generally unlimited, the network may slow down temporarily during times of congestion, especially after heavy usage. This shouldn’t happen all the time, so I’d recommend checking your data usage in the T-Mobile app or reaching out to customer support to see if there’s anything specific affecting his account. They should be able to help get your streaming back on track! On the other hand, if the performance is consistently poor in your area, it might be worth considering a different provider that can meet your needs. The same aspect that makes this service great-using a cell tower for signal-can also be its Achilles’ heel. While this setup is typically reliable (for instance, I’ve never had an outage during storms, unlike with Cox Communications), the quality of service can vary depending on network congestion near your closest tower. I live outside of town where there aren’t many people using the network, so my service is generally excellent. However, in more densely populated areas, the experience might not be as consistent. I hope you guys are able to get it all figured out , e4! Take care ✌️🤟

@@NigelWorkman This does thank you for the helpful tips! We called the provider and found out he has Home Wifi Lite where he will only get 100mbps per month. For the life of me why would anyone be allowed to sell a plan like this is so wrong and for $50 per month. He has to wait until the other unlimited plan is open in his area.

Hello, Kuemage- thanks for stopping by!! I hear you. The promise of spatial audio is exciting, but when it doesn’t deliver beyond what you’ve already got, it’s definitely frustrating. If the AirPods Max seem like a better fit, that’s a solid choice- not to mention, if you are someone who uses multiple devices in the Apple ecosystem, it’s nice having another piece that fits in seamlessly. At the end of the day, it’s about getting what works best for you. Thanks for sharing your experience! ✌️🤟

Hello, Typhanuwu- thanks for stopping by!! Sorry to hear you've had a rough experience with T-Mobile. I just ran a Speedtest after reading your comment and got 36 ms ping, so it’s been holding up well on my end. But you’re right-because it’s a cellular service, performance can vary a lot depending on where you are and how the network is being used. That flexibility is what makes it a great deal for some, but it can also mean different results for others.

Great point, Primal! With Apple AI inching closer by the day- those that are interested in these features will likely see the best performance on M4. I believe M3 will be supported, but the latest iteration (M4) being purpose built with these features in mind. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment, Primal- I really do appreciate it!! ✌️🤟

Glad to hear you are having a good experience, Tohru!! For me, the speeds have actually been improving over the last year, so I am definitely a happy camper! For the price, I dont think this service can be beat. I’m always willing to try something else though- so as soon as there is a solid competitor in the area I will be giving them a shot! Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and comment, Tohru- I appreciate it you!! ✌️🤟

@@NigelWorkman Of course, no problem. Always glad to support honest reviews/hard work.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It’s awesome to hear that the Play 5 Gen 1 exceeded your expectations, especially considering your impressive collection of audio gear. It really goes to show that great sound quality never goes out of style. Funny enough, your story reminds me of my friend Kris, who’s still using his first generation Play 5. Despite all the new tech out there, he swears by it and refuses to upgrade because he loves the sound so much. Happy listening, and here’s to many more hours of enjoying your favorite tunes! Huge thumbs up to you too! ✌️🤟

Thank you so much, Tobias! I'm thrilled to hear my video helped you out. Your support means a lot. Grüße nach Deutschland! 🌟 ✌🏼🤟🏼

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It’s definitely frustrating to see rates go up, especially when it feels like there aren’t many options. Hopefully, increased competition from services like T-Mobile 5G home internet can help push things in the right direction! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment, Sanamax- I really appreciate it! ✌🏼🤟🏼

The turntable has RCA output, which is then converted to 3.5mm stereo headphone jack via a cheap Amazon cable. This plugs into the back of the 5. Let me know if you have any more questions! ✌🏼🤟🏼

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! It's great to hear different perspectives on Apple's Silicon chips and their application across various devices. You bring up an interesting point about the efficiency of the M series in desktops and Apple's strategy with frequent updates. I understand your concern about Apple's approach, which can make users feel the need to constantly upgrade to the latest model to stay current. It does seem like the rapid release cycle plays on the desire to have the newest device, even if the practical differences may not justify the upgrade for everyone. Your insights into the potential cost implications and the feeling of being "endocrinated" by the frequent updates are certainly thought-provoking. It's important for consumers to stay informed and make decisions based on their actual needs rather than marketing trends. Again, thank you for watching the video, Paul and I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Your perspective adds valuable depth to the discussion! ✌🏼🤟🏼

😂 sounds good, Mark! Send me a link to some of your own videos- show me how it’s done! 😘

Hey, I'm glad to hear you love the Magic Mouse! It sounds like you've really found your perfect match, especially with your carpal tunnel. Unfortunately, I already gave mine away to another quick commenter. If I had another one, I'd definitely send it your way. Thanks for sharing your experience! ✌️

Hello, Erlend!! It really just depends on how intense the work you are doing is. If you aren’t doing anything more complicated than what you see in my videos, I would say you are good to go. On the other hand, with the M3 equipped 15 inch air now available, I would still recommend that machine as it will most certainly last you another year minimum. At the end of the day, you just have to weight the cost of both machines while also considering the complexity of your work. You may get a decent discount if you go with the m2 version, but the decrease in performance you will see with the m2 VS m3 (albeit a small one) just may tip you towards the newest (M3) version and be done with it. Hope that helps. I realize that most of that was just me arguing both sides LOL, but it is truly difficult to recommend something to someone without knowing the specifics of what they’re doing. Take care and if you think about it, let me know what you end up going with ! ✌️🤟

Right!? I’ve tried to explain this to people people over and over, but they tend to to get fixated on the number itself versus the real world experience of holding them both. Can’t help everybody though LOL Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. I really appreciate it! ✌️🤟

Hello, Irene! Yes, you can definitely pair additional devices without the Sonos app (after initial setup) There is a toggle on the speaker that will switch between Bluetooth and and the standard WiFi modes. Once in Bluetooth mode, you will hold the same button down to go into pairing mode. Everything from there should feel pretty familiar. Let me know if you have any other questions!

My pleasure, ABC! Just wanted those who weren’t planning on doing any heavy load work, to know that this M1 can still fly through normal day-to-day tasks! Hope you enjoy your new M1!! ✌🏼🤟🏼

​​@@NigelWorkmanthat's exactly what I needed to know before buying this M1 iMac with 256GB and 8core GPU. I'll do some small video editing in 1080p and some in 4K, but nothing extraordinary or too complicated. That's why I hope it will do as good as my 11" iPad Pro with M1. I've already got it on my desk and will step by step learn how to use it 👌🏻 I'm used to windows and Android, so MacOS will be interesting adventure 😁😎

I'm glad to hear that the information was helpful! It sounds like your new iMac will be a great fit for your needs, especially with your video editing plans. MacOS can be quite different from Windows and Android, but I'm sure you'll get the hang of it in no time. Enjoy your new iMac and the adventure of exploring MacOS! Thanks for the great conversation and happy computing! 😊 ✌🏼🤟🏼

@@NigelWorkmanthanks a lot ! I also appreciate your answers and nice conversation :) good luck with your channel and enjoy what you're doing here🙂 #sharingiscaring

Hello, Henrico! It’s funny you should say this as one of my great friends and I often talk about how he still uses his GEN one in his living room as his main source of music. It still sounds amazing and he is not planning on getting rid of it anytime soon. This is clearly a testament of how great of a product Sonos makes. I think the one point of contention would be the inability to use this on the newer Sonos app, which would be required to have it communicate with newer products. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment , Henrico! I appreciate you ✌🏼🤟🏼

@@NigelWorkman Correct. I use two apps now. That’s the downside.

Hello, Belair! As long as you’re not doing anything to taxing, you will be just fine with the m1!

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that my review helped you decide on the Sonos Five. Harman Kardon makes great products, so I hope you enjoy the new experience with Sonos. Your feedback means a lot to me. Thanks again for watching and for your support! ✌🏼🤟🏼

Hello Wanda! Thank you so much for watching the video and subscribing! I appreciate you ✌🏼🤟🏼

Hello Louise, thank you for stopping by! I’m not exactly sure what you’re talking about. If I’m being honest with you as I don’t recall mentioning anything about data leakage, could you reference a specific part of the video where I said that maybe with a timestamp? To make just a general umbrella statement about this topic, though, I think this would more or less be down to the security of your home network more so than that of T-Mobile’s as long as you have the proper protections in place on your home network, I would imagine you’d be just fine. On the other hand, I don’t do anything that would require me to have any advanced level security so I’m not well-versed on the subject what I can’t say is I’ve never had any thing out of the ordinary happen during this first year with T-Mobile Pretty much just business as usual!

@@NigelWorkmanMaybe the guy was asking if our bank accounts and credit cards are safe with T Mobile.

Hey, Jimmy- Thanks for stopping by! I hear you. The lack of integration with the Sonos ecosystem is a big letdown, especially when the Ace headphones themselves are otherwise fantastic. It’s frustrating when a great product has such a glaring oversight. Let's hope Sonos listens to our feedback and makes some improvements. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and thanks for taking the time to leave- I really really appreciate it! ✌🏼🤟🏼

Hey, Rusty- thanks for stopping by! Glad to hear that you’re enjoying the speaker. I’ve been meaning to add can’t buy a thrill to my Vinyl collection- some seriously great songs on there! Thanks again again for taking the time to comment. I really do appreciate it! Take care ✌🏼🤟🏼

Hello David! First off, thanks a ton for sharing your experience- It's awesome to hear you're enjoying the sound and comfort-they really nailed it on that front, didn't they? I completely get where you're coming from with the ANC and long-term wearability. It's great to see these headphones carving out a space for themselves, especially when it comes to comfort over extended periods. The ecosystem compatibility is definitely a sticking point for a lot of folks, especially if you’re invested in older Sonos gear. It’s a bummer that it’s not as seamless as it could be. But like you said, if Sonos steps up the integration, those Arcs might be a tempting upgrade down the line. Thanks again for your thoughtful comment and for tuning into the video! Keep enjoying the music! ✌🏼🤟🏼

Hey Atti- thanks for stopping by! And this is exactly why I wish I had the ability to edit my videos! Lol My Ace headphones have been having connectivity issues across the board, which is something I really wish I could mention now. You are correct about atmos being possible from the app, but in my experience that was only with the headphones plugged in (Apple device) and In my case, when it is working, it has some crackling in the background. I have already sent mine back to Sonos for a replacement unit for this reason. I think I might have the ability to go in and chop that section out- I’ll have to look into this. Either way, I appreciate you pointing this out- and hopefully I can make an adjustment to the video. I’ll definitely be testing my new pair when they arrive, just to be certain that the Shoddy atmos performance is no longer present. Thanks again for taking the time to leave such a detailed comment , Atti- I really appreciate it! ✌🏼🤟🏼

Which Bose?

Hello, Mark thanks for stopping by! This is a great question but I’m no audio expert so I’ll explain the best I can. Dolby Atmos in headphones works by using advanced audio processing to simulate the experience of sound coming from all around you, even though you only have two speakers (one in each ear). The technology alters the timing, volume, and frequency of sounds to trick your brain into perceiving them from different directions, including from above. So, while it’s not the same as having multiple physical speakers, it’s pretty impressive how close it feels! Hope this helps! ✌🏼🤟🏼

Hey lifeonmars- thanks for stopping by and sharing your experience! I totally agree- with a bit of tweaking they definitely sound better and I think they will even improve upon this through some kind of personalized audio tuning software within the app.. Good call on turning off the Loudness setting; I'll have to try that out. And yeah, they do remind me a bit of the Sony XM3's too (still have a pair in use haha) Appreciate the tip and thanks for watching! ✌🏼🤟🏼

Hello, Scott! I must admit, I don’t use them very often. Ever since I purchased a pair of Sonos 5, the Era 300 has been collecting dust. They are great speakers, but the fact that I listen to most of my music on vinyl has me on the 5’s just about everyday- whereas the Era only gets used if we happen to watch a movie in the basement, where they are located. I would still recommend them for someone who wants a top notch multichannel music experience- But outside of that, I would lean towards the 5’s. Just my opinion though! So many different use cases. What would your primary use for them be?

Hello, GameAllDay-thanks for dropping by! I was actually surprised by how unimpressed I was, LOL. My experience with their other Atmos-enabled products has been amazing! The Arc soundbar and the Era 300 speakers are both awesome! This initial implementation is pretty lackluster, but I'm hopeful they will address these issues through updates. Maybe even adding a personalized audio setting will help. Thanks for taking the time to comment, GameAllDay-I really appreciate it! See you on the next one! ✌🏼🤟🏼

@@NigelWorkman thanks u for the great video 😉👍🏼👌🏽💪🏽

Hello, Steven-thanks for stopping by! I don't know the exact measurements of the Ace, but I can tell you that they have a similar depth to the AirPods Max. However, they are not quite as tall. When I wear the Max, there is very little contact with any portion of my ear. However, with the Ace, there is significant contact with the top or bottom of my ear, depending on how I position them. This hasn't caused me any discomfort so far, as the materials used are quite soft. However, with a long listening session, I would imagine this could cause a bit of fatigue, albeit a small amount. Hope this helps, Steven! Thanks for taking the time to comment, and I hope to see you on the next one! ✌🏼🤟🏼

Thnx for your fast reaction Nigel, much appreciated! It does help me a lot to know the cups area little bit smaller than the Airpods Max. I was in doubt what to buy because i am totally invested in both systems. My main use will be watching TV and was expecting the Ace would nail that in quality but at this moment they don’t judging your good review. I guess i wait for the Airpods max 2 to come out later this year? Lot’s of Apple heads think this would happen. Thank you again and good luck building your channel! #subscribed

@@StevenvanderGraaf My pleasure, Steven! Let me know what you end up doing! I’d love to hear your thoughts! Take care! ✌🏼🤟🏼

My pleasure, Siri-glad you enjoyed the video! Ever since I made that statement, I have been inundated with folks proclaiming their love of the Magic Mouse-so much so that I have attempted to incorporate it back into my mobile setup. I must admit, it does have a few small benefits when editing on the go in Final Cut, but the comfort is where it all falls apart for me. I will continue to use it here and there, but as you said, the trackpad is way better, and I could not agree more! Thanks for taking the time to comment, Siri-I really appreciate you! ✌🏼🤟🏼

Hey Salvaggion! Yes, I did quite a bit of testing using TV audio as the source. As mentioned in the video, you have an audio swap option with a compatible Sonos soundbar. In my case, I was swapping with my Arc and was not very impressed with the multichannel experience. I believe this will be resolved through future updates, but if someone were to run out and purchase these with the purpose of using them for movies/TV, I feel this initial implementation of Atmos misses the mark by a large margin. Those who have experienced the AirPods Max and the spatial/Atmos audio they are capable of producing will certainly be disappointed with the Ace in this regard. Once again, I don't think these are issues that we will be talking about in a few months' time as they can be addressed through software updates, but as of now, I would recommend holding off to those that were planning to use them for movies. Thanks for stopping by, Salvaggion! I appreciate you!! ✌🏼🤟🏼

Hello, Josh! After making that statement, The internet was quick to point out that there are in fact MANY fans of the Magic Mouse! I have started to use it for small tasks here and there while using my mobile editing setup. It does have a few advantages, but functionality was never my problem, it was the comfort! This sucker is just TOO small for my lanky hands LOL Thanks for stopping by and commenting, Josh- I appreciate you! ✌🏼🤟🏼

Hey, Linde- outside of the headphones, it really works well! They just need to figure out a way to give the ace the same treatment! Also- do you think I used the word “Ecosystem” enough? Probably could have squeezed a few more in there 😂 Totally didn’t realize how many times I had said that- I’m actually kind of cringing over over here lol Take care and see you on the next one ✌🏼

Hey, Gobin- thanks for taking the time to comment! I appreciate it! ✌🏼🤟🏼

Love my set too! Very happy with them.

Exactly, 0Dark! I’ve been telling people about the 2 week trial for some time now. That really is the only way to know what quality of service you have in your area. If it’s no good, send it back- no harm done! I think in most cases, it’s only available in areas that have usable speeds anyway. It’s not likely that they would even allow a customer outside of a decent coverage zone to sign up. Glad you’re having a good experience with it! Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment, 0Dark- I really appreciate appreciate it! ✌🏼🤟🏼

@@NigelWorkman in the same cut to ATT we’ve closed out both the DSL and archaic phone plan totaling about $200. Now we at $40.00 month and a free plan on Ooma.

Thanks so much, CHS- She is full of personality, that’s for sure! I can always sense when she is creeping up behind me lol Glad you enjoyed the review, and I think you will LOVE a pair of 5’s in your life! Take care, and thanks for stopping by- I really appreciate it!! ✌🏼🤟🏼

Hello, Seven- Thanks for stopping by! I appreciate the perspective of someone who works with reference monitors designed for studio use. It's important to remember, though, that the Sonos Five is aimed at a different audience and use case. While professional equipment like your Genelec setup offers unparalleled precision and clarity, the Five is designed for general home audio use, providing a more versatile and user-friendly experience. Its "ear candy" qualities are indeed intended to enhance casual listening and home entertainment. The differences you mention, like the coloration and balance, are part of what makes the Five appealing to many home users. It's about striking a balance between technical performance and enjoyable everyday listening. Your feedback is valuable, and it's great to see such detailed analysis being shared. However, it's also important to appreciate products within the context they are intended for. Thanks again for your detailed comment! ✌🏼🤟🏼

It’s such an important way to decipher what a product can do though. Why have EQ ever? It’s for preference but it’s also for speaker placement and different music. The “ear candy” is not a good thing just like candy isn’t good for you. It tastes good but you’ll be sick of it really quick. That’s also why I gave it the “20 min” rating. That’s not bad. For $1,000 I find it to be very hyped up in the mids and that ruins the pocket for each instrument. Maybe $2,000 needs to be spent to get rid of that. For a wifi category speaker with ease of use it’s good. Comparing it to studio monitors is a flattering effort as well. If you mixed music with these though it’d be a disaster.

@@viasevenvai I completely understand where you're coming from, Seven. Your perspective highlights a critical distinction between professional-grade studio monitors and consumer-oriented speakers like the Sonos Five. EQ and speaker placement are indeed essential for optimizing sound based on personal preference and the specific environment. The "ear candy" quality of the Five, which can be appealing for casual listening, does come at the expense of the precision needed for studio work. Your analogy to candy is apt-what's delightful in small doses may not hold up over time, especially for critical listening. For users seeking a more analytical and balanced sound, professional monitors like your Genelec setup are undoubtedly the better choice. The Sonos Five, however, serves a different market-those who prioritize ease of use, versatility, and a more engaging sound for everyday entertainment. It's a trade-off between convenience and audiophile-grade accuracy. Your input is invaluable for helping others understand these differences and making informed decisions based on their specific needs and preferences. Thank you for sharing your insights!

Thanks man HAHA

Hey, Kyler-thanks for stopping by! So here's the deal: When it comes to music, whether digital or otherwise, these are going to sound great! Now, when it comes to TV/movies, they will certainly sound better than the built-in TV speakers, but you will be missing out on any sort of multichannel audio experience that you would get with an Arc or Beam and would be limited to basic stereo L/R. If you are okay with that and just need some more volume along with much better sound than the TV, go for it! If, on the other hand, you see yourself wanting that home theater experience with Dolby Atmos, etc., you might want to go a different route. Hope this helps, Kyler! If you have any other questions, throw 'em at me! ✌🏼🤟🏼

Thanks… what I assumed wasn’t sure if they had any of the speak features for say watching tv and could act as a center channel…. Sounds like maybe 1 and a center channel is the way to go. Good size open living, kitchen , dining here in Portugal in a higher condo watching the big waves of nazare mostly where I do jetski surf rescue for a team.

Hello, Darrin- thanks for stopping by. Sorry to hear that your area doesn’t have as good of service as mine. The tough part about doing a review of such a thing is, experiences can vary greatly depending on your area. I did mention that I was in a pretty optimal set of circumstances which like accounts for why mine is so good. Many people have great service and unfortunately many people don’t. As far as my relationship with T mobile…..pretty sure they are unaware of my existence- wish they did though! 😂 Take care and I hope your service improves!! ✌🏼🤟🏼
