Very impressive sound quality
Stream millions of tracks directly from the device
Dead easy to set up. Affordable. Best music app of its competition. Great sound — better than most docks. Most file formats supported. No distortion at max volume

Huge, room-filling sound, small footprint, Highly enjoyable sound with all kinds of music, Multi-room setup is remarkably simple, Sonos controller app a joy to use, Solid, inert construction
Mids can sound a little distorted, No standard speaker inputs, i.e. only compatible with other Sonos gear

Rocksolid performance, best user experience in the business, and Bluray quality downloads
You need the disc vault to store your Blurays, the system is expensive, and the Kscape doesn't support HD music files (yet)

Small powerful speaker, Wireless convenience, Really can stream “any song on Earth”
Sonos' cheapest all-in-one speaker at $299 is still pricey, $49 Bridge or no $49 Bridge, that's the question, No line-in or headphone jacks like the bigger Play:5
Insane amount of music options, Very affordable for Sonos, Wireless is an option, Free app makes control easy and portable, Two boxes make a nice (and loud) "stereo pair"
Sound gets distorted at high volumes, No option to hook to a larger AV setup, Needs hardwired connection or $50 more for wireless
The PLAY:3 isn't the best-sounding product that Sonos makes, but it's certainly the most compact, the simplest to use and configure, and the most affordable. On its own, in a single speaker configuration it doesn't quite belt out the music at high vol...
Strong audio performance, Can be paired with a second unit to make a stereo pair, Switches to mono output automatically when in vertical orientation,
No aux input for direct listening from a mobile device, Needs the Sonos Bridge to function wirelessly (not included), Sonos Desktop Controller does not automatically update your music library,
The Sonos Play:3 sounds fantastic and is finally affordable, but the omission of an aux input or the ability to dock or stream directly from a phone or iPod make the system less versatile than other wireless audio options. ...
