Picking Up Background Music On My Wireless Speakers

I primarily use it as a mic for my PC, so I don't have to wear a headset. But I also needed it mounted just over 2 feet away, 80 degrees to my right, and for it to minimize picking up sound from my speakers. So far I'd say it works quite well. My voice comes through clear at normal speaking volume, while picking up the tiniest bit of background noise from my speakers. Game audio is very distant sounding, and not intrusive in the mix. The audio is clear and my voice is the focal point of the playback. I haven't tried yet, but I bet I can tune the mic with the RODE software to help even more with the background noise. I also wanted this mic in the off chance I want to use it with my Fuji camera. I tested video recording and the audio is much more directional than the normal mic, focusing the audio input where the lens is pointing, of course. My use case is amateur and weird, but overall very happy with the performance of this $99 mic.

The Play:5 has been a revelation. Up until I bought it, I'd been using a number of AirPlay speakers. These suffered from two big problems: they were unreliable (the devices often wouldn't show in my list of speakers for reasons I could never fathom) and, more subtly, they played music from my phone itself. This meant if your phone died, no music. If you went out of range, no music. If you clicked a YouTube link, it would suddenly blare out of your speakers. But with Sonos, it's just worked from the moment I unboxed it. It sounds good, even in a large-ish room. The only problem is that I now want more dotted all through the house!

Atmos music sounds great on the Era speakers. I can hear so much more background music. Great work as always Sonos

I've got it driving two small outdoor patio speakers and you get a nice background level of music with a very low volume setting.

Really needed the BT for the wedding before and after background music. Also plugged a wireless lavalier into channel one and a wireless handheld in channel two. . .worked like a champ. Connected them with xlr cables and just worked great outdoors for a small venue. . .was well worth the price for two. . .

I mainly use it to provides nice background music .

After not having a traditional stereo system (receiver, speakers, CD players etc) for quite a few years, I had been thinking about getting a new something or another to fit how today's music is presented. I could listen to music on my computer and I had a couple of other items, but the sound was lacking and I really wanted good sound again. I already bought a Sonos Beam for my TV in one room, and I've been extremely pleased with its sound. After I played around with this and learned how to stream music to the Beam (sounded great), I decided to check out other wireless speaker offerings. Of course, when I listened to a few of the available wireless speakers, none of them measured up to the rich, clear sound of the Sonos products. I found the Five's sound to be most impressive, and after hearing it I was interested only in the Five. I've had it several weeks now and I'm very happy with it. I like the fact that if I want, I can move the speaker to different rooms....just plug it in and use the Sonos app to start the music. The Sonos app is also quite good and easy to use. Overall, I'm very happy with the Sonos Five and would purchase it again.

I’m a music major and I’ve been looking for wireless speakers that has good sound level. And then I bought this and I’m impressed with the sound quality and volume level

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently bought Belkin Airplay 2 audio adapter for my old Bose music speakers and for my RV audio system. It is compact and easy to install. The sound quality while streaming is awesome and there is no connection loss with my HIFI music speakers. I am loving it playing music on my non wireless speakers and it literally gave life to my old speakers. Airplay connection with this is seamless and on one click and no searching for device while connecting , just tap and you are connected. I would definitely recommend this product for those who don’t want to spend hasty money to get new wireless speakers. It’s makes your old audio devices works as new wireless speakers. No need for wired connection. With one tap you can have friends connect to your device and play their music.
