Sonos makes a fantastic multiroom audio system, but with recent problems with the Sonos app, some folks are wondering if there's a better choice.
We have recommended Sonos wireless speakers and components for years. We still think the company makes a fantastic product. But the absolute fiasco caused by the May 7 Sonos app redesign broke almost every aspect of the Sonos experience — and we’re still waiting for fixes that were promised weeks ago.
Of the five options we present below, only the first three meet a majority of these requirements. But we’ve included two more options that will give you a “Sonos lite” experience, if you don’t need all of the features Sonos offers. These extra features tend to make Bluesound products more expensive than their Sonos equivalents, but you may find the added versatility is worth the extra investment.
You’ll find HEOS-compatible AV receivers from Denon and sister brand Marantz, which greatly expand your options for multiroom sound without the need for separate network music streamers. Bose The best for easy setup Bose is another company that has been diligently following Sonos’ lead on wireless multiroom speakers, and it now has a lineup of “smart” products that can go toe-to-toe.
You won’t find support for advanced audio formats like MQA, DSD, or hi-res FLAC, but that doesn’t stop these speakers from sounding excellent. There’s full support for grouping and individual control of components, hi-res audio compatibility including MQA, and several of Wiim’s products are Roon-ready for fans of that music management software.
