The Boofon Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Getting fed up of Sonos with their lack of ability to play stuff over bluetooth such as Facebook DJ streams etc. Don't want to plug in an aux cable and source it what way. Too much fucking about. Anybody got a decent recommendation for a Sonos equivalent worth speaking about around about the same sort of price range that is capable of said function and also decent sound and bang for your buck?

You can stream anything you're playing from any bluetooth device,, laptop, phone etc.., Great sound ,piece of piss to set up and look good as well. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B071YV97LK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Yeah sort of. Was more thinking like Sonos type ones connectable through wifi but able to bluetooth music to them. This is far from my expert subject so happy for all advice. Not a fan of those Hanz. That yellow bit in the middle looks awful. Link to comment
Guest milne_afc Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I’ve got a couple of Bose speakers Boof. Use the smaller one more regularly but it’s plenty to fill a room with sound. The newer versions have Alexa etc https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bose-Speaker-Amazon-Alexa-built/dp/B07QF5786C/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=bose+speaker+with+alexa&qid=1610889797&sprefix=bose+speaker+&sr=8-3 Link to comment

The Buzzard Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Don't know if it's the type of thing you are after but I have this for listening to my music. It does the trick very nicely for my requirements in terms of having it on when I'm in the kitchen. I don't need anything too high spec or fancy Good sound from it.

Anyone interested in buying 2 x Sonos 1 (first gen) and a Sonos 5 (first gen) I'd take a Sonos one if going individually though they're definitely trying to encourage people with primitive models to buy new ones. Ive to use the Sonos 2 app now. I just switch source via the Spotify app, I do everything through the Spotify app, the Sonos (and Sonos 2) app are poor to use, in my opinion. Link to comment

I’ve read the title...! you have an iPhone or iPad? The newer sonos connect through airplay now as well. And if the rest of the speakers are grouped, they’ll all play your DJ sets etc. If you’re wanting to save forking out on loads of new speakers Link to comment

manboobs109 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 We've got a Sony thing that's a piece of piss for a spazzy like me to use. Bought a cheapo Kindle Fire just for using with it with Amazon music on it. It basically plays anything that plays on the music app or the browser (YouTube etc) https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/audio-and-headphones/audio/hifi-systems-and-speakers/sony-srs-xb33-portable-bluetooth-speaker-black-10211812-pdt.html Great sound from it and I take it in the garden. Im like you though I'm not too clued up about shit like this so better options may be available Link to comment

Fridge Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I mind going to Holburn Hi FI for a set of speakers when I bought my first flat at 22. Asked the boy for a recommendation and he produced these things for a 1k. Fuck me, like I would have that sort of cash kicking about. Link to comment
