This is a perfect all in one roaming unit. Just add power.]]>Oct 20th 2009 9:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/sonos-s5-ears-on-review-the-premium-ipod-speaker-dock-without-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/sonos-s5-ears-on-review-the-premium-ipod-speaker-dock-without-t/
As for the matter at hand, I'd still enjoy it more if it had a dock (with charging support), as well as a rechargable battery, for use on the go.

I know that's not exactly what Sonos targets itself at, whatsoever, but it's still functionality that I"m looking for, when I spend $400+ on a device. Shit, I'd even pay an extra $99 for them to throw that functionality in.]]>Oct 20th 2009 9:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/sonos-s5-ears-on-review-the-premium-ipod-speaker-dock-without-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/sonos-s5-ears-on-review-the-premium-ipod-speaker-dock-without-t/

Now that an Apple product was mentioned in the *headline* we're really gonna hear it.]]>Oct 20th 2009 10:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/sonos-s5-ears-on-review-the-premium-ipod-speaker-dock-without-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/sonos-s5-ears-on-review-the-premium-ipod-speaker-dock-without-t/
An iPod dock could be included at a cost of probably only about $8 for Sonos, and way more people would be interested in it. At least I would be. Lest we forget that adding an iPod dock would also effectively add an LCD to the unit.

One of the best things about these types of units is their portability. It becomes a little less portable when you can't leave your apt. with it. (Yes I'm aware that it has a line-in jack, so my point is admittedly a little less valid).

If I'm going to outfit my house with a Sonos, I'm going to want to hook up my main speakers to it. I can absolutely see how this would be a nice addition to an existing Sonos setup, however.]]>Oct 20th 2009 10:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/sonos-s5-ears-on-review-the-premium-ipod-speaker-dock-without-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/sonos-s5-ears-on-review-the-premium-ipod-speaker-dock-without-t/
I have a Sonos system set up in four rooms in my house. And I have an iPhone with the Sonos app installed. What does this do that my current set up doesn't?

This appears to me to be nothing more than a wireless router with speakers for your iPhone.

Does your current set-up allow you to move your music from one room to another in a single unit. If this unit were available when I bought my Sonos system, I would not have needed to install outdoor speakers on my deck to enjoy my music collection.

This is also the perfect unit in the garage, basement, guest room etc. The best part is you buy one and move it to where you want it for the moment.]]>Oct 20th 2009 10:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/sonos-s5-ears-on-review-the-premium-ipod-speaker-dock-without-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/sonos-s5-ears-on-review-the-premium-ipod-speaker-dock-without-t/Oct 20th 2009 10:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/sonos-s5-ears-on-review-the-premium-ipod-speaker-dock-without-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/sonos-s5-ears-on-review-the-premium-ipod-speaker-dock-without-t/Oct 20th 2009 11:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/sonos-s5-ears-on-review-the-premium-ipod-speaker-dock-without-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/sonos-s5-ears-on-review-the-premium-ipod-speaker-dock-without-t/

Sonos systems all still have a 65,000 track limit. Serious users are disqualified from owning any Sonos equipment until this limit is fixed, and engineering has claimed that outliers with large libraries are not their market since inception, rather than growing their indexing hash above two bytes.]]>Oct 27th 2009 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/sonos-s5-ears-on-review-the-premium-ipod-speaker-dock-without-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/20/sonos-s5-ears-on-review-the-premium-ipod-speaker-dock-without-t/
"Serious Users" who have more than 65k tracks can run a server (just like the other systems out there) which will give them an unlimited number of tracks. You can also use services like Rhapsody and Napster to give you access to millions of tracks at your fingertips.]]>Nov 6th 2009 6:42AM
