SONOS PLAY:1 REVIEW

The great looking Sonos Play1 is a premium mono speaker that, for a limited time comes with a free Sonos Bridge, meaning you can get started for $273.68.

Sonos Play 1 : Performance

As a solo device, the Play:1 chucks out a decent amount of audio wedge for its size. It takes woofer and tweeter cues from its bigger Sonos Play:3 cousin and shrinks the tech down into a package just bigger than a kilo bag of flour.

Sound at high volumes is poised but you'll need to tweak the EQ to move away from muddy thumps. The sound dispersion is impressive, however, and will fill a bedroom or smallish room no problem. But it's still mono - and you can't not but notice that.

Therefore, pairing it with another Play:1 has a dramatic effect. Music of all types is instantly more balanced and it copes with higher volumes much easier. In stereo mode, two Play:1's can fill a decent-sized room, with bass levels being notably impressive.The Sonos software allows you to wireless stream anything on your phone (providing it's an iPhone)to the speaker. The only two connections are an Ethernet port and power socket.

Sonos Play 1: Features

They're completely sealed and humidity tested to work in a bathroom, yet you'll need a dodgy workaround to convert the UK plug to a two-pin socket.The Play:1 speakers are also the first to swap the mute button for play/pause option. Pressing this on Play:1 speaker will stop all music in the zone it's grouped with. Pressing it again almost instantly brings the music back.

Sonos has released a software upgrade to allow all existing ZonePlayers and speakers the same feature. It works a treat and is great for quickly pausing all 

tunage if you can't get to a controller quick enough.

In the company's Egypt test, the Nexus 5 actually outperformed the iPhone 5s, posting a score you'd more commonly experience on a full desktop computer.

The Google 5 reached 58 frames per second during test compared to the iPhone 5s score of 56.7 frames per second.

The leaked manual was leaked several months ago and specifications may have changed. According to the reports, the phone's RAM may have been increased to 3GB and it may now come with an Andreno 330 GPU.
