Excellent choice for a pair of loudspeakers
I have paired two of them in a stereo and they sound really great. Truely room filling sound. The fact that it can stream over WiFi or Airplay2 makes it stand apart from wired speakers and any other bluetooth speakers. Using the line-in (3.5 mm jack) I connected it to the TV as well (Audio delay can be reduced via the app to 75ms). Just incredible. Go for it.

At a glance
The Sonos Five White is a premium home wireless speaker built for people who want powerful, high-fidelity sound for music streaming, vinyl, and other audio sources. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and larger shared spaces, with strong stereo performance and room tuning as key strengths. A limitation is that it is mains-powered, so it is not designed for portable or outdoor use.

Things to consider
This speaker is designed for mains-powered indoor listening, so it is less suitable than portable speaker alternatives if you want battery operation or regular outdoor use.
Multi-room flexibility
High - designed for Wi-Fi-based listening and well suited to multi-room audio within a Sonos setup
Portability rating
2/10 - mains-powered design with no battery, best kept in a fixed indoor location
Music quality score
9/10 - strong high-fidelity sound with deep bass, stereo capability, and room tuning for music-first listening
Smart home compatibility
Works within the Sonos wireless audio ecosystem over Wi-Fi
Outdoor suitability
3/10 - suitable for indoor spaces rather than regular outdoor use due to mains power and home-focused design
Key benefits
- Wi-Fi Streaming: Plays music and audio content wirelessly over 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi networks for flexible placement around the home.
- 3.5 mm Line-In: Connects directly to a turntable, CD player, projector, or other audio source for more listening options.
- Three High-Excursion Woofers: Helps deliver deep, room-filling sound with strong low-end performance for music-focused listening.
- Sealed Acoustic Architecture: Reduces reverb and echo to support clearer, more controlled sound.
- Automatic Stereo Orientation: Separates left and right channels when positioned horizontally for a wider stereo image from a single speaker.
- Stereo Pairing Support: Pairing two units creates broader stereo separation and a wider soundstage for larger rooms.
- Trueplay Room Tuning: Adjusts sound to suit your room so playback is better matched to the space.
- 2 m Power Cable: Gives added setup flexibility when placing the speaker on shelves, cabinets, or furniture.
Q: Does the Sonos Five have Bluetooth?
A: No. Sonos Five is designed primarily for Wi-Fi streaming through the Sonos platform, and it also supports Apple AirPlay 2 plus a 3.5mm line-in for wired sources. If Bluetooth playback is a must, a model like Sonos Move 2 suits that need better.
Q: Can a turntable be connected to the Sonos Five?
A: Yes, through the 3.5mm line-in. The turntable needs a built-in phono preamp, or an external phono preamp between the turntable and speaker, because a raw phono signal is too low to connect directly on its own.
Q: Is one Sonos Five enough, or do you need two for stereo sound?
A: One Sonos Five can play stereo from a single cabinet, especially when placed horizontally. Two Sonos Five speakers create a proper left and right stereo pair with wider separation, which is the better choice for larger rooms or more focused listening.
Q: Is the Sonos Five the same as the Sonos Play:5?
A: Not exactly. Sonos Five is the newer model that replaced the Play:5 Gen 2 in 2020, while Play:5 Gen 1 is the older and less compatible version. Buyers comparing models should treat Sonos Five as the current equivalent, not a fourth generation Play:5.
Q: Does the Sonos Five have a built-in microphone or voice assistant?
A: No. Sonos Five has no built-in microphone, so Alexa or Sonos Voice Control do not run directly on the speaker itself. It can still be controlled in the Sonos app, or by pairing it with another compatible Sonos speaker that has voice control.
Q: Is the Sonos Five a good choice for TV sound?
A: It can work with a TV only if the TV can feed its audio into the Five's line-in, but that is not the cleanest setup. Because it has no HDMI ARC or optical input, a Sonos Arc or Beam is usually the better fit for regular TV and movie use.
