Sonos Five Wireless Speaker
Sonos Five is the all-new, updated version of the much loved Sonos Play:5, designed to fill even the largest rooms with studio-quality, dynamic sound. Tuned by renowned producer Giles Martin, Five ensures a high-performance listening experience for your favourite music, podcasts, radio stations and more.
Modern Design
Perfect For Any Space
The Sonos Five boasts a more refined appearance to its predecessor the Sonos Play:5. With a more discrete logo and colour matched matte grille the Five boasts the same, sleek aesthetic as Sonos’ latest products.
Featuring top-panel touch controls and a mesh front, it epitomises a high-quality speaker.
Choose between a horizontal or vertical orientation to suit your layout. With rubber feet on three sides, you can stand it tall or set it on its side and the speaker will automatically optimise the sound for the chosen orientation.

Upgraded Internals
Enhanced Experience
Sonos have packed the Five with enhanced internals including future-ready computing hardware.

Pure And True
Bold, Deep Bass
The biggest Sonos speaker packs a punch and connects you to the heartbeat of the music you love. Enjoy studio-quality, high-fidelity sound with deep, rich bass from three woofers packed into an unrivalled sealed architecture to prevent reverb and echo.
The three woofers team up with a trio of tweeters to enable remarkably distinct separation of voices and instruments like you’ve never heard before - from crisp high-frequency to deep bass. A phased speaker array design offers a wide stereo soundstage, directing sound to the left, right and centre.
The Five lets you hear and feel the emotion, energy and passion the artist packed into the original recording.
For Music Lovers
Superior Stereo Sound
When used on its own and placed horizontally, Five automatically separates the left & right channels for impressive stereo sound.
For the real music-lovers out there, pair 2 x Sonos Five speakers to experience a true stereo soundstage. With this set-up, the speakers smartly adjust to mono to gain more detailed stereo separation ensuring you hear every instrument, voice and sonic detail as the artist intended.
Connect Your Turntable & More
Line-in Ready
Use the 3.5mm jack line-in connection to play audio from a turntable, phone, laptop/PC or CD player. Once connected to the Five, you can send the audio to any other Sonos speakers in your system.
The line-in connection enables the Five to automatically detect when audio starts playing so you can start listening the second the needle hits the record.
Take Total Control
Apple AirPlay 2, Amazon Echo & Google Home Compatible
Decide how you want to control your speaker. Use the Sonos App or cast audio straight from your Apple IOS device using Airplay 2.
If you want the convenience of voice control, you can pair any Amazon Echo or Google Assistant product with the Sonos Five and use your voice to play and control your music, podcasts, radio stations & more.

Boasting a 3.5mm line-in and the most room-filling sound in the Sonos lineup, this more traditional speaker delivers truly impressive performance that easily asserts it as the powerhouse of the Sonos collection.
"The Sonos Five is a powerhouse and it shows. It's bigger and it handles being at those higher volumes more effectively than the Era 300."

Sonos Five - FAQs
Q. Can I stereo pair the Sonos Five?
A. Yes, you can stereo pair the Sonos Five with another Sonos Five or even use a pair as surround rears to a Sonos soundbar. You aren't able to stereo pair a new Sonos Five with the older Play:5.
Q. Do I need a pre-amp when connecting a turntable to the Sonos Five?
A. Yes, you will need to use a pre-amp between your turntable and Sonos Five. Some turntables have a pre-amp inbuilt, so please check this before purchasing a separate pre-amp unit.
Q. Can I connect the Sonos Five to a TV?
A. Whilst this is possible, we tend not to recommend this as you may experience a small lip-sync delay. We'd suggest opting for either the Beam or Arc if you're looking for a Sonos speaker that will connect to your TV.
