Sonos One Airplay Support

I wasn’t expecting my channel to turn into the Sonos channel, but shortly after posting my Sonos One review video Sonos released Airplay 2 support. This is a quick follow up to walk through the Sonos One airplay support update process and how to setup Sonos with Apple HomeKit, as well as my experiences with it over the past week or so.

*I like the old style Echo Dot because it's small also **Newest.Technology**, gives out decent sound and doesn't take up a lot of shelf space if you want to put it on beam in the workshop or shed.*

[@aidenmiddleton]

This channel is going to be big. It has very high quality content, great reviews and the perfect setup. The colors in the background of your videos are perfect. The little jokes that are spread throughout the video make this awesome to watch. Matt, I hope the best for your channel in the future, I know you will get to 100k in no time. P.S. maybe you should set up a paypal me donation link so people can donate money to help support the future gadgets and development on this channel. Love from Michigan

[@UndecidedMF]

Thanks so much! I’m learning as I go and it’s great to hear that I’m getting some things right. I’ve been thinking of setting up a Patreon for supporters, but need to figure out the right way to do it.

[@aidenmiddleton]

Your very welcome. I hope you can get your Patreon set up!

[@johnhamilton5778]

Great clips Matt: crisp, on topic and very engaging style.. well done

[@asnijmegen]

Dear Matt, until now you helped me a lot to learn about Sonos. Thanks for that! I have a few questions and I hope that you can answer them. I want to buy Sonos speakers for watching movies and play my music collection. 1.) If I want to setup a 5.1 with Playbar, 2 Sonos ones and a sub for a 32m2 living room. Is that ok? 2.) When I want to play my music on these speakers together ( playbar, 2xones and a sub) is then the sound quality great and rich for a 32 m2 living room? 3) I have lots of mp3 on my IMac and iPhone. Not purchased with Spotify or Apple Music. It’s around 5000 songs that I collected from my youth. Is it possible to AirPlay these songs to my 5.1 installation? I just want to say that your channel is great and I just subscribed. Greets

[@UndecidedMF]

Thanks, Alex! That's a pretty big room, but the Playbar combined with some Sonos ones and sub should really fill the space. It should work nicely for movies and TV for sure. On your second question, keep in mind that you could add another Sonos one, Play 5, etc. further fill it out. I'd be really surprised if you had too though. But if this is a great room (like a living room straight into a kitchen), you could drop a Play 5 or something in the kitchen end of the room later. Then when you listen to music, just group up the 5.1 setup with the Play 5. That's kind of the beauty of the Sonos system. It can grow and expand with you. And on #3, yep! You'll be able to airplay from your phone any audio source you want to the 5.1 setup. The 5.1 setup will show up as a single Airplay speaker within the iPhone's airplay menu.

[@kardy12]

One thing to note, if you add Sonos One’s as surround speakers to a Playbar, they will NOT allow you to use airplay (tried and tested, unfortunately...). Apparently whatever device is connected to the TV is the master device, and if that does not support airplay adding airplay compatible speakers as surrounds will not help... Oh, and the first version of Play:5 speakers also don’t support airplay (again, learned through experience as I have one), it’s only the revised Play:5s that have the feature.

[@UndecidedMF]

Good note on the Playbar with a pair of Sonos surrounds. Thanks for sharing that.

[@brodg40]

Great Job. Could you add these as computer speakers to your iMac?

[@ridewithme123]

I have just bought Sonos One Gen 2, is there anyway of playing KZbin videos and songs through it without the premium KZbin membership please

[@andyperez4255]

Wish I can connect my sonos sl to my smart tv.

[@RhymesWithPorridge]

Nope, this is absolutely WRONG. I've had several updates since 2018 and at NO TIME has my iPad EVER shown ANY of my SONOS speakers as Airplay compatible. In my SONOS app under System/Settings there is an AirPlay section. When I go there, it says I have NO AirPlay Compatible devices even though I've got a Generation 5 iPad with AirPlay. I've also NEVER experience SONOS updates going "without a hitch". Usually the software forgets one or more of my rooms and I have to power speakers on and off, or restart the app several times before it finally gets its shit together.

[@RedlineGeckos]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@defaultgreen]

How long do you have to wait?

[@UndecidedMF]

Wait for what?

[@sudheeshrao]

will this work for sonos play 1?

[@UndecidedMF]

Sadly, no. It will only work if you have at least one Airplay compatible speaker (Sonos One, Play 5 2nd gen, Beam) you can pair it with when using Airplay.

[@Deadpool4531]

Can someone give me the point to this rather than just using the Sonos app ? I just ordered a Sonos speaker but is the airplay as good as just using the Sonos app? Besides like let’s say Siri which I don’t care to use with it ? And can I connect Apple Music and SoundCloud to Sonos speaker with the app and switch between it ?

[@MrAsag]

try to stream audio from windows))) it's impossible! max what you can do, download some stupid Sonos player. Where you can listen music only in you phone!!! any sounds and media you can't play from PC or laptop!!! Sonos One so stupid product!

[@hernandolara9261]

The video was very helpful! however I can’t connect muy SONOS with the Airplay 2. It doesn’t recognise them. What should I do?

[@VivaElMole]

Hello I have the same problem, did you fix it? Thank You

[@mwilliamsdp]

Can you disable or not use the Alexa feature? I just want a Sonos One for the AirPlay 2 support. Not an Amazon Alexa fan.

[@Rkevwill2687]

I bought the sonos to use with Alexa,, my own list of songs in my library over airplay 2, and the most recent airport express, Works great, sounds great. and I blame it all on you! I'm gonna buy another one to use in my dining room :)

[@UndecidedMF]

Ha! Happy to hear that you’re enjoying it.

[@tobiasspelaren]

Now if only we had siri support for spotify...

[@UndecidedMF]

iOS 12 might open the door to that. 🤞

[@Mistygio]

I’m looking into a Sonos because I have a HomePod and a Bose SoundTouch 30. Both are Airplay speakers of course but they both don’t work. The Bose is just slow and annoying. The music pauses every time I click do something on my iPhone. Like simply navigating through Apple Music, every swipe and tap I do just makes the music pause for a split second. And the HomePod.... horrible reliability. The stereo pairing doesn’t work half the time, the tap and hold to talk to Siri doesn’t work, the connection to it gets lost just like typically Bluetooth... and the point of airplay is to ensure great connectivity lol. I’m still searching for a speaker that works.

[@danquest8590]

I'm now ready to buy a Sonos One. 👍🏻

[@CPSLondon]

Great video.... trying to decide on Homepod or Sonos. Have yet to judge the sound but will do so in an Apple Store. Sound is of greatest concern to me....but that has to be balanced against budget. A Stereo pair of Homepods is big bucks. But putting the same into Sonos gives expandable options that Apple just doesn’t have. I believe that following the Beam going on sale, it won’t be long before the Playbar gets a refresh and then Sonos will offer a great system that includes surround sound for my living room and big TV. Do you have the Play 5’s that support AirPlay 2 ? I hope they sound as good as the HomePod. My musical taste is nothing eclectic or esoteric. Some Pop, Rock and due to my parents... 60’s and 70’ bands and solo artists. Some examples of songs you love listening to on your Sonos speakers would be useful. BTW your presentation, clear speech and relaxed manner is great. Good luck with the channel, you got another subscriber.

[@UndecidedMF]

I don’t own any Play 5’s, but I would put them on par with the HomePod for room filling quality sound. HomePod might still get the quality edge, but not by much. One thing to keep in mind is that HomePod and Sonos One/Play 5/Beam all play nice together with Airplay 2. Thanks for the sub!

[@Spud_E_Buddy]

Already 283 subscribers. Well deserved, as you have a nice demeanor and style to your videos.

[@UndecidedMF]

Thanks, Spud! Appreciate it.

[@candlurn6073]

After a week, that's nearly doubled! 507 now!

[@RoidRage369]

Will i be able to use 2 sonos play 5 + sub as desktopspeakers for my macbook through airplay?

[@Ohkeh640]

How do I get my KZbin on my phone to play through my sonos beam??

[@59317]

Great content, Matt. I agree the Airplay 2 support is surprisingly well done here. I'm so used to vaporware from other companies that it was a nice surprise when Sonos pulled through with adding this feature. It was almost enough for me to keep my Sonos in the mix, but not quite. I'd like to return to Sonos someday (the audio is great), if they can work out the kinks with the rest of the Alexa ecosystem. Definitely sub'd.

[@robertlego9335]

I love my echo dot! It also connects to everything like the ring doorbell

[@otherhumans6171]

I have the play bar, sub, and 2 play ones, would I need to replace my 2 play ones for the new ones? Or can I just get 1?. And if I do get the new ones would it connect to my play bar and sub and would the sound from air play come through all speakers or just the 2 Sonos ones. I’m confused lol.

[@420405]

Hey Matt quick question, Can you use airplay 2 for multiple Sonos devices at the same time? For example, if I have a Sonos beam in the living room and a Sonos one SL in the kitchen. Can I use airplay to play music from both speakers at the same time? I don’t want to use the group feature through the Sonos app.

[@MrJD240sx]

How can i set it up without using any wifi ? Plz help.

[@jacobhoak1736]

Great video! How does the lock screen controls/playback on IPhone work with the new update? I’ve heard you no longer have lock screen controls with the update to Airplay 2 and Sonos 9.0. (I currently don’t own any Sonos but am wanting to get some). But is that only when you are using the Sonos Controller app? I use Apple Music and play music directly from the music app from Apple. Basically I just want to know if I play music from the Apple Music app (not through the Sonos controller app), do I still have lock screen playback/controls (changing songs and volume on screen as well as using the hard buttons on the side)? If you could check this, that would be great. Thanks.

[@rs7111]

Can you ask Siri to play spotify or KZbin music to the Sonos? Or it’s just available if using Apple Music

[@TheRobbSki]

110 likes and ZERO dislikes! Keep it up, Matt. This channel is gonna explode! Looking forward to your next video.

[@UndecidedMF]

Thanks! Working on the next video right now, so it should be out in the next day or two.

[@damiankirkwood7924]

so i can play music i own from my iphone on the sonos ? its confusing some reviews say you cant....but you can with airplay? or is this only with the apple music subscription ?

[@frangize2149]

Does sonos play1 support airplay 2? Thx

[@frangipanboo]

Zero help but thanks for trying

[@mommytomaddieraine]

I can’t even find the airplay menu 😭

[@travellingpiker9897]

Great Chanel maybe you can make a video on how to play music off an iOS device to a connected amp for us technophobes now sonos has removed this feature.

[@candlurn6073]

Just subbed! Looking forward to your content. I don't have sonos (yet), but I was really curious about the Airplay 2 support on older Sonos speakers. Could you do an in-depth look at how that is setup and how it works?

[@UndecidedMF]

Thanks for subscribing! Sadly, I don’t have any older Sonos speakers to create a video with.

[@ayalm111]

Looking forward to more videos from you. Keep it up.

[@jonathanlanderos2266]

Can you connect Sonos One to iTunes and watch movies ? or Is it for music only?

[@UndecidedMF]

Because of Airplay you can select Sonos speakers as your audio output from a Mac (same for iPad and iPhone). Once you've selected your speaker, it'll play any audio source ... so KZbin videos, iTunes movies, music, etc. All the audio will play through that selected speaker.

[@blue.light.fazbear]

I really hope they release Airplay 2 for amazon echos because we have a Sonos one and an Echo Plus and a regular Echo and it would be really nice to use them together with airplay 2 so we can play one song throughout the whole song because speaker grouping doesn’t work with Alexa on Sonos and only works on echos

[@UndecidedMF]

I’d love that too, but think it’s a long shot.

[@gogohappygirl]

Great video, thanks for this! Currently an iTunes Match subscriber but do not have Apple Music. I’m trying to decide between the Sonos One end HomePod. Does the Sonos app support iTunes Match directly, or would I have to use Airplay? I read somewhere that if you also install the Sonos desktop app on your computer where your physical iTunes match files are stored, you can then access the files through the Sonos app via the speakers rather than having to use Airplay. Any experience with this?

[@UndecidedMF]

Thanks for watching! I do have experience with this as I'm an iTunes Match subscriber too without Apple Music. Same exact boat. If you're using the Sonos app on your iPhone or iPad, it will only see music that is on that physical device. If it's not downloaded, Sonos won't see it. However, now that the Sonos One, Beam, Play 5 second gen have built in Airplay support it doesn't matter. I just use the Music app on my iPhone and iPad and sling music to any or all of my Sonos speakers directly. I barely use the Sonos app at all on my devices anymore. The Sonos controller app on my Mac doesn't see my iTunes library at all, so that's not something I've ever been able to use. That app allows you to start streams from other services or change the mix of speakers that are playing audio, but doesn't seem to tap into your Macs iTunes library (strange). If you have a Mac though, you can use Airplay from iTunes. Another thing to consider is setting up a Plex server (it's free) on you computer and using that to serve up your full library. Plex has built in support on Sonos, so you can use that as a way to augment iTunes Match.

[@Leo_TV.]

Is it possible to connect a stereo Sonos one pair with AirPlay?

[@UndecidedMF]

Yep! It shows up as a single speaker in Airplay. If you have a surround sound setup, same deal.

[@sheptube99]

Overall, airplay 2 has been huge for my Sonos. But not flawless. Multiple apps I use are not compatible with AirPlay, most notably Yahoo Sports which I use to watch NFL on my iPad while I'm mobile around the house. Can play game audio through Bluetooth speaker but not AirPlay 2 Sonos. I've sent feedback to Yahoo.

[@UndecidedMF]

Thats frustrating and odd that it doesn’t support that already. Seems like Yahoo is lagging behind on their apps a bit.

[@UttRConcrete]

Next time I got to Costco I’ll be picking up a pair of Sonos sls

[@mich8261]

I’ve been pretty happy with the addition of AirPlay. I initially wanted it so I could seamlessly switch from phone to speakers when listening to a podcast although in the time it took for AirPlay 2 to be deployed I discovered Pocket Casts which essentially does what I wanted but through the Sonos app. Still it’s nice to be able to throw audio from a web page or elsewhere to the speakers. I understand the processing limitations of the older Sonos speakers and for that reason I am even more impressed at the lengths they went to provide some support for them. It’s a rare tech company that does not embrace planned obsolescence. So, what else are we going to hear about?

[@UndecidedMF]

Agreed. There aren’t many companies that stand behind their products like this. As for what’s next for the channel, I have plans for more tech product reviews, advanced how to’s for home automation (including more on Sonos, Alexa, etc.), a Tesla Model 3 review and thoughts of going fully electric (when I finally get mine), and more. I’m still feeling my way around the channel, but I’m a big believer in tech making people’s life better and going green. I think a lot of my content will revolve around one or both of those ideas.

[@manuelferran6486]

Hi. Just suscribe. Great reviews, well explained. Want to ask you something not specifically related but there it goes. When I use the Sonos airplaying apple music the phone equalizer appear not to affect music.

[@UndecidedMF]

Thanks for subscribing! Your phones equalizer settings shouldn’t affect the Sonos audio, so if you want to adjust the Sonos speakers sound, you’ll need to adjust that through the advanced settings in the Sonos app.

[@chakwong]

I have older iPhones, iOS version 10.1.1. Can they have AirPlay 2?

[@UndecidedMF]

I believe iOS 11 is required for AirPlay 2 support. iOS 10 will still be work under AirPlay 1, so you’ll only be able to send audio to one speaker at a time.

[@chakwong]

I updated my iPhone 5 to the latest iOS, and the version is still 10. I guess I will have to upgrade. I was hoping to use the unused iPhone 5 only for music to feed multiple Sonoses. Sigh!

[@UndecidedMF]

Chak Wong Good idea, but yeah ... you’re going to be capped on such an old phone like that.

[@antoinep9733]

Off-topic, but what program do you create your little animations with? (They’re pretty slick)

[@UndecidedMF]

Those were created in Motion and Final Cut Pro X, but they’d also doable in Adobe After Effects.

[@gidokrom]

Hi, do you know if you can control the sonos speakers with homepod? Im getting a homepod and i want more speakers around the house, and it would be nice if it can be linked. I thought about sonos as speakers for the tv and stuff, so i dont need apple tv. But i want to play music around the house with homepod so i dont need to use my iphone every time. Just like with homepods that you ask them to play on all the speakers, but then with only 1 homepod and more other speakers.

[@UndecidedMF]

I just picked up a HomePod and still have some testing to do with it, but I believe you can control the Sonos speakers (sort of). If the Sonos speakers support Airplay 2, like the Sonos Ones or Beam, you should in theory be able to tell the HomePod to play something on those speakers as well. But I have to test that out (traveling now) when I’m back with my HomePod.

[@gidokrom]

Undecided with Matt Ferrell Let me know if it works when you get back. For now merry christmas 😁🎄

[@gidokrom]

Undecided with Matt Ferrell I got a message from sonos; At present you can't control Sonos using Siri in the Homepod, however we are planning on adding support for voice assistants like Siri as we did for Alexa a year ago. Google Assistant is next on our list expected to be released next year, and I'm confident that Siri will be added in the near future too. For the time being, you can use the Siri in your iPhone, iPad or Mac to choose what plays on Sonos, if you use one of our Airplay 2 compatible speakers. Airplay is currently supported on the Beam, One, Playbase and Play:5 gen 2. You can also connect Sonos with your TV, and for this you would need on of our soundbars. We have three, the Playbar, Playbase and Beam. The first two are our full sized soundbars, whereas the Beam is a new offering from us. It's a smaller alternative, but has some new features such as in-built Alexa voice control. Once you've added this, you can add speakers to create a home theatre.

[@UndecidedMF]

Well, their response is technically accurate. You can't use Siri to control Sonos and the Sonos features, but you can use Siri from the HomePod to control an Airplay 2 speaker like any other Airplay device. I just ran some experiments and was able to start playing a song on the HomePod and then transfer it to my Sonos One in the Kitchen. Or start playing a song directly on the kitchen speaker. While talking to the HomePod I could start and stop the music in the kitchen, change the song, etc. You just have to add the name of the speaker to each Siri command. While I was in the kitchen I was able to use Alexa to pause and resume and skip to the next track. That's basically what I thought would work, and I'm happy to see that it did. Not as nice as having Siri on the Sonos One itself, but nice that the HomePod sees those speakers as just another playable device because of Airplay. One oddity is that I haven't been able to get the same thing working on the bedroom Sonos One yet. Not sure why, but Siri just responds that she can't find a speaker named Bedroom. I think it has something to do with my device names in there and need to do some more sleuthing.

[@allyenw]

FYI, Airplay 2 only works on 2nd Gen Play:5, my 1st Gen is not supported. :-(

[@UndecidedMF]

That really stinks.

[@gride5153]

Hey thanks for your video, really enjoyed it. Does your HomePod play well with the Sonos Airplay speakers? Can it control them? I currently have a HomePod and use Siri to play from my iTunes Library. I'm thinking of adding a Sonos solution and want to use Siri around the house. Any thoughts?? Many thanks in advance

[@UndecidedMF]

It works great, but to a point. You can use Siri on the HomePod to start playing music on any airplay speaker you want, like a Sonos One in another room. But Siri doesn’t work directly on the Sonos itself. When you’re in the other room, you can use Alexa on the Sonos to then play, pause, skip, control volume directly on that specific Sonos ... even though it’s getting the music streamed to it via Siri/Airplay.

[@gride5153]

Thank-you

[@danielherndon16]

I am using an Apple TV 4 connected to a projector for all my video watching in my living space. The problem w that has always been audio, since neither the Apple TV or the projector have audio out ports, I have been forced to rely on Bluetooth speakers. Which as you can imagine have been a night maker to stay connected and provide a fluid tv or movie watching experience. Can Sonos One w AirPlay2 resolve this issue for me?

[@UndecidedMF]

Potentially, but I can't speak to how well it stays connected over time. I'm able to play audio from any of my Apple TVs to one or more of my Sonos speakers over AirPlay. Since they're using wifi instead of Bluetooth, I have to assume it will be more reliable over extended periods, but I can't say for sure.

[@danielherndon16]

Undecided with Matt Ferrell, thanks for the reply.. perhaps after some troubleshooting and testing this could turn in to a video tutorial for you. Would love to see more on this specific issue

[@K_Ragnar]

Hey! For the newer tv's that support airplay 2, can one connect sonos one's for sound?

[@UndecidedMF]

You can't connect them through the Sonos app/experience. But you should be able to group the TV and Sonos speakers through your phone or Apple TV.

[@andrewuk]

Any news on google cast and Sonos

[@UndecidedMF]

None that I’ve heard. Really would love that too.

[@mdwhite85]

A little confused as I want to buy my parents a speaker that they can use their voice to play Apple Music (but don’t want home pod). With the sonos one, can they say things around their phone like “hey Siri play my favourites on the sonos” ? Annoying that Alexa and Apple Music aren’t integrated, otherwise the sonos one with Alexa would be a no brainer cause then we could just talk to the speaker itself to play Apple Music. I’m hoping an easy compromise would be speaking to iPhone or iPad (via hey Siri) to control music on the sonos?

[@UndecidedMF]

Yep, they can say something like “hey Siri play so-and-so in the living room” and their iPhone will stream Apple Music to the living room Sonos. It’s not as nice as on the speaker itself, but it works well.

[@mdwhite85]

Great channel, thanks for he reply, is this assuming the ipad or phone is already Hooked up to the Sonos via Bluetooth ? (Will they need to make sure they Bluetooth connect every time, or will the “hey Siri” and airplay 2 take care of everything ?

[@UndecidedMF]

Thanks! The newest Sonos speakers (Sonos One, Sonos Beam, and 2nd gen Sonos Play 5) all support Airplay 2, so there's no bluetooth connection at all. The Sonos speakers will just show up as an available Airplay device automatically on their iPhones and iPads. They just have to be on the same wifi network as the speakers. You'll have to go through a one time setup to add the speakers to Apple's Homekit, which enables Siri control. Once you've done that, there's no connection or reconnection rigamarole they'd have to go through. It will all just work going forward. Just ask Siri to play X on whatever speaker name you gave the Sonos in Apple's Homekit.

[@benjaminlabrie6982]

I legit hunted for this because I remembered your last Sonos video. I’m thinking of picking up an Apple TV 4K tonight since my partner and I got PS Vue... Any idea how well airplay 2 works with Apple TV and watching video?

[@UndecidedMF]

Glad you found me again! I have both the 4K and non-4k versions of the Apple TV and they work great for Airplay 2. If you’re listening to music, you can sling music to them just like any other Airplay 2 Speaker (alone or as a part of a group in sync). Slinging video from your iPhone or iPad works great as well, but keep in mind that your phone or tablet is still the device processing and controlling the video, so you can’t switch to another app. As for PlayStation Vue, the Apple TV app for that is pretty good, but I only used it for a few weeks while I tried the service out.

[@benjaminlabrie6982]

Undecided with Matt Ferrell thanks for the reply! We picked one up and I love it already! Still figuring out how it works and whatnot but just set it up quick to watch tv for a bit without diving in. But using two Sonos One speakers via Airplay 2 and streaming a few episodes of different shows through PS Vue worked wonderfully although the volume had to be turned up quite a bit, probably due to the fact they are quite small to have to be so heavily relied on, but for a small space and all the versatility... 100% worth it to me.

[@UndecidedMF]

That’s great to hear! Hope you enjoy the setup ... and keep us updated on how it goes as you dig in more. Also curious how you like PlayStation Vue.

[@frankcharles1814]

I dont know when was the last time that I commented on a youtube video honestly. Also got to your channel because I just love Sonos and was then amazed by the quality of your videos and started clicking around on your Tesla one etc. - You're doing a great job, giving lots of value in your channel. Keep on going!

[@UndecidedMF]

Thanks so much ... means a lot to hear that.

[@michelle-3306]

Thanks for the video! Is it also possible to play sound on your iPhone and a Sonos One simultaneously?

[@UndecidedMF]

Sadly, you can't. It's either out of your device or the speaker/speakers, but not both.

[@kharyluke5549]

Can u ask Sonos one to play Apple Music by voice ?

[@UndecidedMF]

Not yet. You can play Apple Music through the Sonos app to the speaker, but Sonos/Alexa/Apple Music integration is still being worked on. Last update I heard about it was in December (www.trustedreviews.com/news/apple-music-alexa-sonos-one-3638783).

[@woodestineamos1233]

Great video I have 6 sonos play 1 , so I would only have to get the new play one and they all will work with airplay

[@UndecidedMF]

Yes, but with limitations. You can't play directly to the Play 1's in your house. You'd have to play to the new speaker, like a Play 5 or Sonos One, and group the Play 1's with that. It's roundabout, but works.

[@woodestineamos1233]

Undecided with Matt Ferrell Great ,thank you so much , I love your channel keep up the good work

[@peternorton7665]

Great explanation

[@mattturner8335]

Great channel man. I have a Play 5 and Play 1 along with a homepod. I like the homepod and think it is probably a better speaker than the play 1, but think if I am going to expand it will be more with Sonos than anymore apple speakers.

[@UndecidedMF]

Thanks! Interesting. Do you think you’d expand more with HomePod if Siri was better and Apple offered a wider range of speakers, sizes, and prices?

[@mattturner8335]

Undecided with Matt Ferrell probably not. Due to Sonos looking like they will continue to offer the best cross platform products. And if spotify offers lossless streaming before apple then i would go back to Spotify. Also, i worry that at the rate apple brings out new generations, the homepod could not be relevant as long as a sonos product. Speakers should last years, if not decades!

[@UndecidedMF]

Definitely agree that products should last a long time. One thing I find fascinating about all of these smart speakers is how they can actually get better over time with a simple software update.

Undecided with Matt Ferrell apple is to expensive

[@defaultgreen]

Undecided with Matt Ferrell the normal.person will not hear a difference in sound quality if they only hear one speaker and have nothing to compare it to. Plus to pay so much just to have a speaker for background music for a kitchen the sonos play 1 is much cheaper and does the same thing. Just airplay two missing

Does the Playbar or Playbase have airplay 2 support?

[@UndecidedMF]

Sadly, no. Only the One, Beam, Playbase, and the second generation Play:5.

Undecided with Matt Ferrell That's unfortunate for such an expensive device. Thanks for your speedy reply sir!

[@BigRedPropFromHell]

thanks for another great review Matt! can I play netflix from my macbook on to the speakers?

[@UndecidedMF]

Thanks! And you absolutely can over Airplay.

[@IsaacSant]

I'm still struggling and been researching all over the internet... device is visible in the Airplay list.. just all my iOs devices are unable to connect (iphone 11/12 and macbook). All the same issue. Sonos is the one gen 2 with 12.2.2 update..

So genuine! Love it, best of luck to you and your channel

[@UndecidedMF]

Thanks for watching!

[@heckytomatoes7628]

Can the Playbar use AirPlay?

[@UndecidedMF]

Not directly, but if you have any Airplay compatible Sonos speakers in the house, like the Sonos One, Beam, Play 5 (2nd gen), you can group the Playbar with one of those speakers to use Airplay. For instance, if you used a couple of Sonos One speakers as surround sound with the Playbar, you’d be able to use Airplay then.

Undecided with Matt Ferrell thank. I have a pair of Sonos ones for surround. I'll try it out.
