Anyone had experience of either of these?

I know there are a few Sonos bods on here but didn't know if anyone had any experience of the Bose Soundtouch kit.

Any feedback gratefully received

I've got full sonos through the house and it's the nuts. If you want awesome sound quality pair a couple of play 3s and a sub in a main room. Solo Play ones will pretty much suffice in any secondary room.

Have to concure. I have a Sonos Playbar paired up with two Sonos Ones and then a Sonos 5 in the kids playroom. Gonna get myself the Sub to add a bit of depth.

I also love the ability to be able to scare the shit out of people in the house on my return from work and remotely play music via the app

Sonos for me too. It works perfectly, sounds great and is very simple to set up. It is also very easy to add to, as I have discovered to my cost.

That should be Sonos - not so so!

Sonos here. Slippery slope. Received a Play:1 as a present which has been supplemented with a Play:3. More will arrive as funds allow.

Multi-zone is the shizzle.

Cheers people. Confirmed pretty much what I thought. Always good to have it endorsed by the gurus on NSC though!

Sonos for me too.
Ease of use is the dogs and coupled with spotify premium, which I got free for 6 months with the sound bar.

Amen to that.

When you pair up Sonos and Spotify (and your smartphone/tablet as a (giant) remote control) you will literally not know you survived life without it.

Went for the Sonos. Awesome piece of kit.

Came with 12 months free Deezer as well.

Very slightly OT, have just taken receipt of one of these. For a package of sound quality, convenience, portability and appearance, cannot find a fault YET. The badger's nadgers.

We're up to 3 (three) Sonoses (Soni?) here with a growing need for a fourth and, soon, a fifth.

We switched from Spotify to Deezer as the third baby Sonos arrival came with a year free Deezer, so using that saves £120 over the year versus sticking with Spotify.

My only complaint is they just don't seem to have got podcasts sorted properly - it feels difficult to listen to and track podcast listening.
