Amazon Music Uncompressed

I purchased two Fives to use in my small home office. Streaming is through Amazon Music HD and I also use the line-in from my computer to watch online videos. Music was a big part of my life many years ago back in the 1970s and 80s. Then life got busy and music kinda went to the wayside. My wife also thought we could make better use of the space that was taken up by my large stereo system. So the Bose 601 series IV speakers, NAD stack, Dual 1229 turntable, and Teac CD player went into storage. I've listened to many songs through Amazon Music HD from my music era and think they sound great on the Fives. The convenience of high quality streaming can't be beat. It would be tough to go back to flipping vinyl again or using CDs. Although, I may fire up the old system someday just for old time sake and do a sound comparison. I'm no longer interested in listening to "loud and time to party like a rockstar" music. The Fives can certainly put out that type of power if that is your thing. I'm more interested in hearing the minor details and nuances within the music. The Fives do not disappoint in this area...especially after running Trueplay. Some recommended songs to highlight the Five's capabilities are: Guinnevere by Crosby, Stills & Nash; Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes by Paul Simon; Barcelona Nights by Ottmar Liebert; and Peel me a Grape by Diana Krall. I'm very happy with the Fives and will be adding additional components going forward. Next purchase will most likely be another Five and then upgrade the sound on my 65" Sony TV. Thank you Sonos for bringing high-quality music back into my life.

All my music streaming seamlessly with the Era 300 but by far the service offer by Amazon Music is really good with a lot of Atmos music and sound more light on the bass give this speaker the best sound compared to Tidal. The wireless connection is the most useful giving no downtime to hiccups otmr buffering issue.

Can read and write HD uncompressed video fine.

I run the play:5 via the iPhone app, it works very well and I can stream the whole music catalogue on my phone and via Amazon Music. The sound is fantastic and after about 6 weeks of owning it, I'm yet to dare to try it at max volume. It's quite astonishing really.

Thy dynamic range on this speaker is amazing. I hear things in my music I never had before. The only downside is that when I use Amazon Prime or Pandora, the songs frequently cut out in the middle and then skip back to the beginning. This also happens on MLB app radio feeds, where the broadcast will jump back a few minutes. This can sometimes happen two or three times to the same song/at bat.

I use this in my office to provide back ground and the chance to listen to some great music. It picked up my Amazon music and Apple music library straight away.

Outstanding sound Easy set up Be aware is big!! Not compatible Amazon music

Don't think about it if you have Apple or Amazon music just buy this speaker. Dolby Atmos is the next big thing in music this isn't a gimmick like lossless. The joy of re listening to your favourite music in Dolby atmos is something any music fan should do and the Era 300 does this and then some. It's that good I will be getting a second.

Use this on my LG 65" tv also to stream my Amazon hd music. Use Spotify as well. A really good buy. Gerry.

Background music through Amazon music . A combination of an expansive library and excellent sound reproduction . All at the touch of a button .
