Sonos Digital Music System (ZP100 bundle) Reviews

By David Carnoy and Nathaniel Wilkins

The Sonos Digital Music System is sleekly designed and easy to set up, and its wireless, color-screen remote allows you to access your music from anywhere in the house. The Sonos system is also easily expandable (to as many as 32 rooms); it has a ...

Somewhat expensive ; no digital audio output ; remote's rechargeable battery isn't removable ; doesn't play protected WMA or AAC files

Editor's note: As of May 2007, Sonos has discontinued the distribution of this particular configuration of its Digital Music System. So why has little Sonos, a start-up based in Santa Barbara, managed to attract so much attention for its...

Sonos Digital Music System

By Chris Chiarella

Not to sound cynical, but, at this stage of the distributed audio game, "me too" products don't cut it anymore. What we want is something new, something different, something better. Luckily for Sonos, that's what their Digital Music System delivers. ...

Sonos Digital Music System Review

By Rebecca Day

The Sonos is an impressive digital-age multi-room music system that gives you room to grow.

Easy to setup and use ; good sound quality ; bright and colorful display on remote

First ZonePlayer must be physically connected to the router ; the system depends on the remote controller

Editors note: The Orb Audio Classic Two speaker system (available in white to match the Sonos system) would be a perfect fit for the Sonos Digital Audio System. Full ReviewFeatures and Design The Sonos Digital Music System is a self-contained...

Sonos Digital Music System reviewed

By Donald Melanson

Yahoo is carrying an AP review of the Sonos Digital Music System that pretty much follows the line you'd expect-it's really cool, but it costs a bundle. Although they do point out one potential flaw that might be a deal-breaker for some-it currently ...

So if you've built up your music collection using iTunes, you'll be out of luck until someone comes up with a hack or Sonos strikes a deal with Apple; however, it's definitely worth noting that Sonos is claiming PlaysForSure compliance and the...

Sonos Digital Music System

By Chris Stevens

If Apple made hi-fis they would look like the Sonos. It's a delight to use, looks fantastic and sounds even better

Excellent sound quality ; quick set-up ; reliability ; elegance

That we had to give it back

The Sonos Digital Music System is a rare beauty among freaks. Of course, a fine ship is of little use without a star to sail her by, and the Sonos Digital Music System's remote control is certainly an impressive little twinkler. The Digital Music...

Sonos Digital Music System

Sonos has been in the multi-room music game since the very beginning - but is its iPod-styled kit still the gold standard for streaming?

Simple to use. Stunning sound quality. Sexy design. Brilliant build quality

There are cheaper (though not better) alternatives

Sonos Digital Music system

By Lawrence Latif

Got a hankering for multi-room audio? Then you better read on

While the remote control's reliability was a major let down for me, its design both physically and software wise is excellent. How Sonos managed to get away with the click-wheel interface piques my curiosity no end.
