The new app is a complete disaster even 4 MONTHS after the release. It was a cash grab just to launch their new headphones. The app is infested with bugs, their support is non-existent, and their CEO is tone-deaf to loyal customers and is providing the public with a masterclass on what NOT to do in business. The Sonos stock went off a cliff in May, dropping nearly 30% in value at the time I'm writing this, and their shareholder meeting scheduled for 8/7 should be pretty interesting as the quarterly earnings will undoubtably show that headphone sales aren't enough to offset angry customers that are abandoning Sonos after being completely disrespected. Basic features and system instability have made the products unusable. Doesn't matter how good the hardware is, when customers are held hostage by the software, which is proprietary. This isn't the first time customers have been screwed by Sonos' decision to brick their hardware. Clients will not be fooled again.

I’m a new customer not familiar with the old app I don’t have any problems the app

Dolby Vision IQ and Roku Smart Picture both work very well as “auto” settings, I usually tweak everything but found I don’t need to for streaming content now, just over-the-air (OTA) signals. I bought a Roku Pro 55” to replace my TCL 6-series 55” QLED and it’s a great upgrade for the price. Does anyone know why Dolby Vision and other formats don’t seem to be in OTA signals? Thanks in Advance!

You guys have no idea what are you talking about.

All they seem to be interested in is sending me emails to buy their ace headphones ( even though I recently unsubscribed from their marketing emails) I received one today giving me a small percentage off retail price so I suspect they are toiling. They will not get any more money from me. Cannot believe how arrogant this company is.

Never mind

What are the numbers. How much are these prices

I am so, SO disappointed with SONOS and this update debacle. I have lost my trust in their product and my have no willingness to invest in it further. I will not recommend it again until enough time passes and it is shown to be fixed, and not in a spiraling downward trajectory. They have shown themselves to be completely out of touch with the UI/UX and have demonstrated a lack of understanding of what their devoted customers want and need from their product. Really bummed about this whole thing.

Just rolled back to old app on android phone, feels like I am in heaven again.

Do not, repeat do not buy a Sonos. Almost unusable. Complete rubbish. It really doesn't work. Utter waste of money.

Hey! Great stuff! Jabra is leaving the TWS market hence the second generation rather than a new product. Your comments on the 75T and noise cancellation were amazing. The 75T originally didn’t have noise cancellation and then they did a system update and boom they had some noise cancellation. I agree it wasn’t the best, but I thought it was pretty cool they had that little built in feature that they could turn on with a single update. Again, great stuff and can’t wait to hear more of your content!

Burn Notice is great. I want to go back through it and watch it with the wife. We've recently started Suits which has ended up a really fun watch also so far...another USA show.

I have to reauthorize devices seemingly endlessly!! Why do they screw with what works??

Just shocking what they did.

I have 9 speakers and the old app worked fine!! - this New App is confusing !?!?? - and lots of ERROR messages... I want the OLD APP back !!!!!

The Wiim Amp Pro Plus Ultra!

It’s absolutely terrible. A disgrace for such a company to fob this shit on its customers.

Great review....Crap app..... But I gather they won't listen and give us all the standard pr....we've all heard this.....now ask again roll back to s2 and sort this mess out.....angry one man band of my broken sonos system....😢

IT SUCKS

As for you can’t listen to music from Sonos. Where does it say that you can’t? Your Sonos Ace is connected via Bluetooth to your phone. You open the Sonos app on your phone and just play any content. Similar to the Roam and other BT enable devices on the Sonos App. If you are listening via your Sonos home speakers just switch sending the audio from your Sonos speakers to your bluetooth headphones. Just like you can do with the Roam as example . Isn’t that the case with the Ace?

The take away concerning the Sonos Ace is the following. First headphones to support Dolby Atmos spatial audio with head tracking on both iOS and Android. Sony, Bose and Apple doń’t support it yet. First headphones that give you a home theater experience with any device connected to a Sonos Soundbar.Other companies only provide spatial audio with headtracking on specific apps and devices. Sonos is the first to use a device as a hub to enable home theater across devices. And finally, of all the bluetooth codecs out there, Sonos picked the highest quality one “aptx Lossless” to future proof the headphones when connected to a Snapdragon audio device. And that includes not only smartphones but any device as long as you use a USB BT 5.4 dongle with Snapdragon audio. So in practice you can add Aptx lossless to your PC, tablet, or even non supported iPhone. It’s not a perfect solution, but there is no other better format. Apple locks their devices to BT AAC. So not much Sonos or anyone else can do.And finally unlike some other companies, they included cables that can charge and let you listen lossless audio on any device. So another workaround. Until now, wifi remains prohibitive for headphones. It just consumes too much battery. That’s why no one is doing it. Apple, Bose, Sony and others. all uses bluetooth, Those that allow lossless wireless streaming like PC headsets and headphones all require a USB dongle that basically creates a dedicated low energy network between the two devices. So they are still disconnected from the local network and can’t be taken out of home. So might as well go with bluetooth. So other than if ANC is good, if sound quality is good and other minor features, there isn’t much wrong with the Sonos Ace. Quite the contrary. It seems given technological limitations they are providing solutions others didn’t.

The Sonos app is a joke. All my NAS music is no longer accessible.. I really hate Sonos now. Its so fuck-up.....

No reason to by so around the bush about what Sonos did to our systems. They just enabled people to go Bluesound.

it's a terrible release My system is basically broken now

No local library access, which is what I use. The orginal s1 app was better than s2, the new app is unusable. Latency is hrrible. Nothing goes to que

Its a goddamn mess

I bought two on Tuesday, everything was great when in WiFi but when you head to the beach you will find you can only play one speaker with bluetooth. How is it that a $99 JBL flip 6 can pair two speakers in stereo in bluetooth and not Sonos?? They could have been great, now they are Best Buy open box for someone else.

Even if all the previous features were there, the design is awful. On my 13” iPad most of the screen is just empty space! I had to buy a 3rd party app to make my system work again. And why do I need a cloud based control of my speakers to play local files that are on the NAS in my local network?

Good afternoon ☕️ I run the OG Wiim Pro feeding my new Denafrips Ares DAC …and it’s damn nice 😊

The reason they released the app in this state is to meet the targets set before the earnings report earlier this month. If they didn't release the app then funding would be pulled by the investors. The people that matter to a publicly traded company are the shareholders.

The new Sonos app SUUUUUUCKS!!! 🤬

Sonos is the drunk uncle at your wedding of music apps. Stay away.

Roku Plus Series TV's are outstanding with a great price.

When i opened the app and got the message i was excited 'cause times are tough.

Tablo was purchased by Scripps, whose networks include ION, Bounce Laff, and Grit. They immediately fired all of the original Canadian employees (who were so good), and outsourced everything to India. Among other things, trying to cancel the guide service means countless emails and phone calls, them lying to you that you are not being billed, and then a charge appearing every month on your credit card statement. I am just waiting for HD Homerun to get an ATSC 3.0 version so I can set it up with Plex.

I was actually at my local Walmart looking for dog food for my poodle, and I actually told an associate who helped me out his corproate employer was buying Vizio. Needless to say, even he was shocked.

Wow! I didn’t remember that.

There was Columbia House for other pre-recorded movie formats.... inclulding LaserDisc AND Video 8 tapes.

Google and Amazon have not made the experience better but they have made it more profitable which is better for the bottom line.

Pure garbage, I had the older version and it worked great so I upgraded to the 4th gen. Forget watching it on a PC, doesn't work on a Vizio TV, and this last firmware update breaks anyone wanting to watch a video on a Samsung device. I'm returning it.

They sound great

Hello, I am now the owner of 2 x wiim amp. Now a question, can I only play the music played in the wiim app (radio, amazon, spatify, tidal,...) as multiroom? Or can I also play music as multiroom from another app, outside of the Wiim app? hope it's understandable what I mean?!? Thank you

Is 49 inch true 4k?

Tablo Gen 4 is a huge downgrade from legacy Tablo. I’m a long term Tablo user with a lifetime guide subscription. My Legacy Tablo antenna is directionally pointed at an antenna farm 50 miles to the south of me and works extremely well. I purchased a Tablo Gen 4 with their 35 mile antenna about a month ago to better capture 6 LD channels 5 miles north and 3 full power channels 25 miles north. I use Roku at home. The 4 Gen reception is choppy and crashes at times while watching. There is no manual record and guide data is missing on 3 of the channels, meaning they can’t be recorded. Unlike Legacy, you can’t rip Gen 4 shows to your computer to watch on Plex later. The Gen 4 interface always loads to a “home” screen rather than where you left off. I’m not interested in the shows Gen 4 pushes on the “home”. There is no remote viewing for when I’m on trips and also no ipad/pc/iphone viewing on my home LAN. I just purchased a used Legacy on ebay to replace my 4 Gen. Not sure what I’m going to do with the Gen 4 now.

The WiiM phone app is another big thing that makes this system stand out. Graphic equalizer and all.

Wiim has had a huge impact in the market for well over a year. Respectfully, I am shocked you guys are just discovering Wiim products. The Wiim amp is inexpensive compared to other products. It is a great value! Please read other reviews to support my comments.

Wow you saved my life! ❤

The original Xbox controller was called the Duke.

I've not gotten the last 2 episodes on the pocketcast app. They show up in the youtube music app though. Are you aware of an issue with your podcast and pocketcast?
