Thank you for teaching me how to sync without using the app!
Great video. Quick and clear without the need for over elaboration.
very helpful thanks a lot
Thank you.
Very informative !
This was very helpful.
Good job
Jazzed about the new Symfonisk lineup!
Great info, but what about loudness? How does that work against night mode etc.?
Hi.
I'm thinking of buying an IKEA sonos lamp,i think its the same app...would you know if you can turnthelamp on or off?..Great detailed review Thank you
Great video interesting and helpful thanks
Hi I don’t seem to see the speech enhancement on the app for the beam just to make sure it’s on, great sound though
Emily , I have approx 10 Sonos speakers spread across the house. They work just fine.
However, the app on my iPhone, can only connect to Sonos when it is connected to the "main" wifi . ( for example when I'm in the bedroom the phone connects to a TP Link wifi extender) So although the Sonos mesh extends for the bedroom speaker to play, I can't control it unless I walk back into range for the main WiFi .
Sonos (Move)
Do you have any tips for this particular speaker
Trueplay tuning stopped working on my iPhone. Any ideas why? It was working fine for the past two years. Could it be because of the new system and Sonos discontinuing support? is my hardware already bricked ? :(
Hey, i can't get dolby digital to work on my beam and sl's when using my firestick, it works fine with freeview. Any ideas?
Can you put a video about comparison between Sonos Move and Bose Portable Home Speaker
hello, when I start to play a song one speaker play and after 5 seconds start to play the others one....why?I would Like to play the son and the same time all speakers play in the same time.
can you help me? thank's
I have a audio-technica
AT-LP60XBT record player can you connect a Sonos one gen 2 to it?
Great video
Would my speaker be louder if I play music through the sonus app or on my regular Bluetooth settings through my iPhone
Trueplay is pretty cool
Can you use airplay for multiple Sonos devices at the same time? For example, if I have a Sonos beam in the living room and a Sonos one SL in the kitchen. Can I use airplay to play music from both speakers at the same time?
Hi Darreon. Yes, this is possible. Similar to how the Sonos App works, when using AirPlay 2, a drop down list of all your AirPlay 2 enabled devices will show and you can tick multiple speakers at the same time and the music will play on both at the same time. I hope this helps and thanks for watching!
Good evening I have a sonos play 5 1st generation I have having a problem connecting it how do I do that with the new app
Looking at purchasing a sonos system, but, can you tell me if I'm streaming music through my home and a phone call comes in, does it mean my phone call will then be streaming throughout the house too? I have a small bluetooth speaker I use sometimes and when a call comes in, I have to turn the speaker off to stop everyone in the office hearing my phone call! Just wondering if I'll end up with a similar dilemma at home? tks
Linda Carroll that’s the great thing about WiFi speakers as they are not interrupted if your phone rings or battery dies. Sonos speakers connect directly to the music Sevices so your phone only acts as an controller. Hope this helps.
Could I use 2 of these for me Nvidia shield tv?
Does not going thru the Sonos app also work with Pandora? Thank you
Hi. So we love the songs how ever we listen to music and it looses music and the music goes off few seconds then continues any idea why it is cutting out.
Can you review some Bowers & Wilkins or Monitor Audio? Maybe H&K or Bang and Olufsen?
Hi there, thanks for watching! We have some other videos on our channel reviewing the Bowers & Wilkins Formation Suite - feel free to check them out :) If you're into in-ceiling speakers take a look at our ceiling speaker series which mentions both Bowers & Wilkins and Monitor Audio products.
Smart Home Sounds Ltd. thank you :)

Can you Show me how to create a playlist with my android.galaxy s9?
Can I playing my youtube music song with out wifi router? Like bluetooth?
Only with the Sonos move. The other Sonos speakers are WiFi only.
How can my wife use her music stream services on same system. I’m on Sonos S2 now.
I have the original Sonos , how can I use that with all the things you’ve been doing.
HOW CAN I PLAY MY OWN TRACKS?
I have 41 days of flac, lossless tracks stored in my Android phone and I can't seem to play any track.
Any hint is appreciated 🙏🏼
Can we use sonos play one to watch tv of Netflix on tv ? Cheers
I was seriously thinking about getting a beam and one sl but next to no one gives a example how to use it with a Android phone. And from what I see on the Google play store the apps gets a terrible review for being very poor to use! Shame as I really fancied the beam paired with a SL but not if I can't use it because I have a Samsung galaxy S20!
François SVP Merci
It’s curious Sonos don’t allow any eq presets but allow bass and treble adjust anyway.
Thank you so much! I like the Sonos speaker but despise that it doesn’t have Bluetooth tech. Now it sort of does because I have an iPad.
If you like to solve network issues, and app updates before you listen to your favourite album, Sonos is for you
Can I pair a Sonos speaker with a different WIFI Speaker?
i don't know what it is, but any UK or Aussie famine
accent is like yummy!
Enjoyed the tips thank you. But why aren't some of the Apple tricks available for us Android users. Frustrating!
tough lol!
KWJJ It is all about the Quality I am afraid. Sonos made the decision that only Apple phones would have consistent enough microphones to set up using true play......... in other words, there are so many crap phones out there with crap microphones that are running Android! Sorry, but this is the facts. Sonos = Quality Hardware. Apple = Quality Hardware. Android could be running on any old crap device, so the true play set up wouldn’t be as good.
@@Laptopdog78 not even the top Android phones? Nevertheless, that's a lame excuse.
Prashanth Akunuri No it is not, Android is software that could be running on any phone, and they can’t determine wether it is a quality phone running it or not. iOS will only be running on an Apple phone. They have to have high standards.
@@Laptopdog78 Kind of harsh but true. I might have mentioned that Apple is a closed system, meaning both the OS and the hardware are fixed and under the control of Apple. Android is, for lack of a better term, "open" and not tied to a specific set of hardware. The results from an Android device are just to unpredictable to make it useful.
Try to find someone who knows how to port it together from start to finish & show all the parts & with app to get
Hi I have a Samsung soundbar on my TV which I love playing music on. Is it possible to incorporate it with my sonos speakers and ikea lamp?
No Sonos only likes Sonos. By ikea lamp do you mean Ikea loudspeaker lamp? You can use ikea loudspeaker lamp with other Sonos speakers.
@@marcusm5127 oh nah I meant use my Samsung sound bar as a sonos item. And I got it working, I bought a sonos connect
why is it not possible to play itunes music on Sonos
Tip6 “press this little button here”. Which button is that, does it have a name? It is not possible to see what you are doing
To set an alarm: "Alexa wake me up at 7am" DONE!
That is just an alarm, not for radio/music....
Why can't you stream videos from photos app to sonos
How to connect my digital piano to my Sonos speaker
Anyone know the Android equivalent of Air Play?
Air Play will only work with an Apple device. It does not work, nor will it ever work, on an Android device.
@@areliablesource2848 Obvious that AirPlay only works with Apple products, That wasn't the actual question. But thank you for taking the time to reply.
@@jefflebowski3319 Sorry, I got the term "AirPlay" confused with the Sonos term "TruePlay". Is the Apple "AirPlay" the streaming music service from Apple? The reason for the clarification is that I don't own Apple products. As for Android streaming services, I use Pandora but there is also several others and I think it is Spotify that may have the direct Spotify to Sonos functionality. Again, sorry about my confusion.
@@areliablesource2848 No Problem! I use Spotify so it's fine as it does direct connect as you stated above. I just wish there was an equivalent to Airplay as I have other other streaming apps that are not supported on SONOS.
@@jefflebowski3319 I understand. I do have a Spotify question I would like to ask if I may; does Spotify allow for playing complete albums in the order the song were produced? Example, will Spotify play the complete album "Tommy" by the Who in the order disc 1, side 1, song 1, 2, 3 ... then disc 1, side 2, song 1, 2, 3 ...
Pandora does not allow for this and it is damn annoying. Thanks.
please let sonos one connect to ALL Panasonic TV's.
Tip #6 is Apple only, right?
Yes
WHY is that accent so attractive??? I just watched this to hear her talk...
You keep telling us to "Go To More", (3 dots, bottom right), but my App does not have the 3 dots. A Settings wheel is in it's place, and when opened does not show any headings you have. Mine is Account/System/Services&Voice/App Preferences/Support/Data Privacy/Legal.
Is this for an old App, since updated rendering this video as too old and unhelpful?
Thanks for the reply. Yes this video may not be current for you but is still current for users on the S1 Sonos app. We will be doing an updated tips & tricks video for the new Sonos S2 App in the coming weeks. Once again thanks for watching abs keep a lookout for this video.
@@smarthomesounds Thank you for your quick reply. I'd suggest you include a video of how to "move your (Sonos One Gen2) speakers around or reallocate them"
I erroneously assigned a speaker and it all went pear shaped trying to correct, and I was frantically searching to resolve.
I eventually found one place where they addressed this issue with simplicity and the comments indicated that I was not alone in my dilemma (typical comment: "I was two seconds from throwing it out the window. You saved me !! Thank you") . Weirdly, it has a name very similar to yours, (Smart Home Sales), but probably deliberate by them.
There are many "opening the box" tutorials (too many?), and not enough very helpful tech solutions like yours, which I liked. Many thanks.
like the features, setup was difficult for some of my devices (August Door lock, ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-dKeb4aB Bose speaker)... but all switches and outlets (5), thermostat, tankless water heater. Unfortunately all I can do is turn on/off Bose. It doesn't support volume or changing channels, but I believe that is due to the particular speaker I have.... Worth getting if you already have other devices to use it with... I don't sit around and ask Alexa questions much so that doesn't really matter to me....
How to sync Sonos speakers?
Can you show how I can stream my vinyl throughout the house?
I’ve a Sonos connect connected to my hifi amp and Sonos Play 1’s and 5’s around the home.
cerec69 I can’t remember if I had to configure anything on the Connect/Port system menu. You can check Line-In system settings for your Connect if this doesn’t work first time... Perhaps it was automatic, but here is the basic process... Connect your preferred HiFi source to the analogue IN phono sockets on the back of your Sonos Connect/Port. Within the Sonos App select the Sonos speaker room you want to hear music through. Now choose to “browse” from that Sonos room. Choose “Line-In” and viola the music can play from whatever source you cabled to the input on your Connect/Port. Enjoy!
...and notice you can adjust the “Source level” in the Connect/Port Line-In System Settings to align the sound volume level with your other streaming services. 👍
I don't have a more button on my app. How do I use the tips?
mee too!
Do not a “more” button either...
Probably need to update your app, it should appear then.
Waited a while to get a Move. What an awkward job to set up…
First you need an email account, to download one of the four apps I came across on my iPhone 12 ios app store, then I needed to get confirmation via an email and before I could listen to anything!
I own a Marshall Stanmore and a Marshall Acton. They were simply unboxed, plugged in, sync’d with my phone via bluetooth and I was ready to go.
I sent the Sonos move back.
The quick set up paperwork inside the box was not correct.
A shame really, because I may well have invested in another Move.
I trust you have a video on the Sonos Move.
Informative but out of date. Things have changed recently (surprise!) and this info could use an update. Now, regarding tip 10, Airplay functionality; there are some Apple products where this functionality does not work. For example the Ipad Pro; can't do it. I have heard from other sources that even the newest Iphones can't do it. It's functionality that "might be" really neat but it is very device (not manufacturer!) specific.
Sones have fixed prices in a way that Sonos dictate prices in the shop including when there is special offers (Kartel). That is illigal in Denmark, and I boycut them.
I have 3 Sonos speakers, I like the sound quality and flexibility they provide but I find the Sonos app to be almost indecipherable. If I need to change anything it is usually done by trial and error. As for tips and tricks, if the narrator spoke a little slower I may have got some benefit from them, unfortunately even after pausing and replaying the tips I was interested in numerous times, I am no wiser.
Think you might want to get checked for dyslexia
You can slow down the speed of any UA-cam video in settings
Beautiful hands and nails
Alarms are good but you cannot have the alarm work in sync over multiple dspeakers 😂
So irritated by the fact that you have more Sonos features with an iPhone. Wholy do they not implement these options in other phones? I'm not here for a debate on which phone is best because I love my Huawei. It's just a shame that you don't get all the features from Sonos itself. End of rant
The new Sonos app is abismal 😟 I really don't know why Sonos had to change it, it's the second time the app has been changed for the worse.
Who can see her screen?
You're cute
This is so low. Those are basic features, not tips ?!
Dennis Ossi thanks for the comment. We have been selling Sonos for over 7 years and while these may not be tips to you or us they are actually extremely useful for the majority of users. Thanks for watching.
I wish I’d never bought my Sonos system. Awful !
Sonos is a terrible company that at one time had a great system. My speaker was great until the company fixed where it would never play my music loaded into my iPhone or iPad. Now it will only allow streaming music which sucks because I don’t listen to the radio ever. I wish the idiots would give me my money back because they’ve basically made my speaker useless.
I just tried mine and I am able to play music store on my iPhone
I couldn’t but someone showed me another way which takes longer but finally it works again.
It’s been able to play audio stored on your phone..? I haven’t had any issues.
Wow, such anger issues...just do some research online and you will sort it.
They didn't tell us that our five year old devices would be designated as 'legacy' and have support pulled. DISGRACEFUL!! DON'T BUY SONOFF!!
Come on Pete, the "legacy" devices will still work, they just will not work all together anymore. I (think) that you and I are in that same boat; I have mixed devices; old Play 5's, new Play 5's. It is my understanding I have a couple of options. Turn in my legacy devices for some credit (30%) or have them split off into two "networks"; that are independent. I am going to go with "door number one" and trade in the legacy for the new version. Now, if you don't have any of the new devices you set up (I think!) will continue to work. You will just be excluded from any new features that are delivered in the future.
@@areliablesource2848 5 years old, goodness most audio equipment is defunct by then. Just treat yourself and go out and buy some new kit and stick your old kit on ebay or something.
