Design and Build: The Sonos Five is a robust speaker with a stylish, monochromatic finish, available in black or white. Its design features a sealed architecture to eliminate reverb and echo, enhancing sound clarity. The speaker is sizable, weighing in at around 6kg, which contributes to its deep bass capabilities.

Audio Quality: This model is equipped with three high-excursion woofers for rich bass and three tweeters, including two precisely angled side tweeters, for a wide stereo soundstage. It’s praised for its room-filling sound, offering deep bass and impressive stereo sound, making it suitable for various music genres. The speaker supports Trueplay™ tuning technology, which optimises sound for the specific acoustics of the room, though this feature requires an iOS device.

Connectivity: The Sonos Five connects via WiFi (802.11b/g, 2.4 GHz compatible) and supports Apple AirPlay 2 for streaming from iOS devices. It includes an Ethernet port for wired connectivity if WiFi is unstable, and a 3.5mm analogue input for direct audio connection from devices like turntables or CD players. However, it does not support Bluetooth connectivity out of the box, though you can add this via a third-party Bluetooth receiver.
Control: Control is primarily through the Sonos S2 app, which offers access to various music services, EQ settings, and room tuning. The speaker also has physical touch controls for basic operations like play, pause, and volume adjustment. Voice control is possible through integration with external voice assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, but requires another smart device.

Compatibility: Note that while the Sonos Five is part of the Sonos ecosystem, it requires the Sonos S2 platform for operation, meaning it’s not backward compatible with older Sonos speakers running on the S1 platform.

Overall, the Sonos Five 3rd Generation is lauded for its sound quality, ease of integration into a multi-room setup, and the flexibility of its connectivity options, though its lack of built-in Bluetooth might be a consideration for some users.
