why not make the whole system easier and just allow users to connect via bluetooth?? Never buying another product from you again, we bought a speaker from you for traveling and we can’t use it using the internet from the hotel!
Because Bluetooth is a very old standard and doesn't support that much data. The only reason you can do this at all is because Sonos is handling the stereo pair side of things.
This video is confusing. It says you cannot stereo pair over Bluetooth. Then it goes onto pair them? But the sound is not true stereo? It seems (and I probably have this incorrect) but the demonstration in the video requires one of the two speakers to be on WiFi??? I have $40 Tribit Micro speakers that play stereo sound via Bluetooth. Give the people what they want when you produce a premium product.
My opinion exactly, it's ridiculous and pathetic for sonos. I bought two Sonos Roam without doubting for a second that it wouldn't work. Every speaker I know can do this, except Sonos. I should be ashamed of you
@@BlackTL1000think about guys like me who have 2 move2 for use in the backyard without WiFi. They can’t be paired in BT. How ashamed will be of myself.
Once a pair of Sonos Era 100 is stereo-paired via WiFi, can I then use them as a stereo-paired Bluetooth speaker *without* having WiFi coverage (i.e. Bluetooth only)?
Here's the (MBP) solution with amazing pure Stereo sound: 1. Bluetooth connect one SONOS at a time 2. open Audio MIDI setup and +/configure Multi-Output Device: Left(1) and Right(2) plus any other device 3. in Sound/tool bar (top right) select Multi-Output Device 4. INPUT: adjust the level of each program/source (mixer/preamp) 5. OUTPUT: volume buttons on each SONOS control output level (front-of-house) Be careful: this effectively bypasses the MBP pre-amp and allows direct signal input into the SONOS. Always start with low volume before switching (avoid loud peaks).
So is it possible to pair them in the app and then leave your house/network and use two of them paired? Or grouped? I guess I'm a tad confused on that. I guess the real question is, without a network, is it possible to play two speakers with one device at the same time whether they are "stereo paired" or not
Planning to buy 2 Era 100 speakers to pair as stereo. Just want to re-confirm, if we play music via Bluetooth to stereo-paired Era 100, is it a true stereo (one speaker is the left channel, another one is the right channel), or 2 speakers just have the exact same sound?
Doesn't work with Move Speakers. Only plays out of one speaker, even though my 2 Move speakers are paired. Very disappointed. Will never buy another Sonos product.
Hi there! While you aren't able to stereo pair via Bluetooth, you can stream music via Bluetooth using the workaround tips in the video. Hope you find it helpful!
@sonos I have two Move speakers that I paired over wifi. When I then switched each Move speak to bluetooth music only played out of one speaker. So, when I select one of the speakers in the bluetooth settings device menu the sound only comes from one of the speakers. When I connect to the other Move thru bluetooth the sound switches to that one
1- two Move speakers that I paired over wifi 2- one of them switched to bluetooth 3- start play music from iPhone 4- in app at the Rooms tab is no way to finish pairing to group make sure Sonos Move is connected to wifi and is set up on this system ----system-groups-This feature is available on systems with three or more rooms
I think Sonos engineers should shut down the shop and find some work in some restaurant in Palo Alto. This is ridiculous as it can get. My $35 speakers from Oontz can do it why not Sonos?? These guys need to take Lessons from some Chinese manufacturer. Pathetic. My frustration is through the roof man.
The Era100 should not be advertised as Bluetooth speakers coz they are really bad at it . I bought a pair of Era100 and paired with Samsung TV , they worked fine for about 45 mins but as soon as I forwarded some of the video I was watching the speakers just went mute , the LED on the Right speaker was blue and even the TV showed it as connected but no sound . Sonos seems to have really sad quality check for the price of these speakers
The video title is very confusing / borderline scam. Yes, you can use Bluetooth on stereo paired Sonos speaker **but the playback is not stereo sound**.
I'm going to save you about 15 minutes of your life. Sonos sucks. They don't know how to support their app and they don't know how to support the hardware. They used to be awesome at one time, but now they just don't give a damn. SONOS SUCKS.
Doesn’t work. Sonos app just says no wifi connection when my Move Speakers are in Bluetooth mode.

Same issue with move. See no way to connect/group the second speaker after speaker 1 connects to Bluetooth.
Please advise if I’m doing something wrong
Sonos sounds beautiful but the Simplicity of connections is ridiculous. How do some Sonos speakers not have Bluetooth
Once a pair of Sonos Era 100 is stereo-paired via WiFi, can I then use them as a stereo-paired Bluetooth speaker *without* having WiFi coverage (i.e. Bluetooth only)?
Not really answering the question. Will it be playing in stereo (one speaker per channel) or just two speakers both playing left and right channel?
Here's the (MBP) solution with amazing pure Stereo sound:
1. Bluetooth connect one SONOS at a time
2. open Audio MIDI setup and +/configure Multi-Output Device: Left(1) and Right(2) plus any other device

Be careful: this effectively bypasses the MBP pre-amp and allows direct signal input into the SONOS.
Always start with low volume before switching (avoid loud peaks).
Can this work with two Sonos Roams in an environment without Wifi?
Hi there! You won't be able to stereo pair two Sonos Roam speakers over Bluetooth, but this video has a workaround tip for ya!

No.
Confusing

Each one it’s a separate channel. So you’ll hear great stereo sound quality.
Duck u never buying again!
Can you sinc 4 speakers?
Will it play out of both Sonos Era 100 speakers at the same time?
Indeed!
Doesn't work with Move Speakers. Only plays out of one speaker, even though my 2 Move speakers are paired. Very disappointed. Will never buy another Sonos product.
Doesn't work with moves:(

@@tomc409 The same situation
app says
1- two Move speakers that I paired over wifi
2- one of them switched to bluetooth
3- start play music from iPhone
4- in app at the Rooms tab is no way to finish pairing
to group make sure Sonos Move is connected to wifi and is set up on this system

Work this with era 300 too?
Hi Joy! Yes, Era 300 is Bluetooth-enabled so this should work with that system, too. 👍
The Era100 should not be advertised as Bluetooth speakers coz they are really bad at it .

Can you do this from PC as well, or is it restricted to audio playing from mobile devices because of the app?

Sonos sucks ..
It sounds beautiful but the connection part is confusing
