I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don’t hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don’t even use.

      What don’t you like about them? I’ve just gotten a set for my TV and really look forward to expanding to the rest of the house.

      They’re expensive, but they sound amazing and they’re so easy to use.

        Not the original commenter but for me it was that they didn’t integrate well into my multi-device management platform and instead required you to use Sonos’s platform and products to play on multiple devices. The sound was decent but I only had one and it didn’t work with my other speakers so it rarely got used.

            Our family is an Apple family and I’ve found the Sonos works quite well with AirPlay… just cast to everything in the house and the Sonos and the AirPods HomePods all work together seamlessly.

        I have a small standalone speaker, not good for TV. I doesn’t want to link with my Google profile, so no voice control from Assistant. So the only way to use it is from their app, or maybe casting
