Sonos Play:5 review: one of the best wireless speakers money can buy

Big, full and rounded sound akin to a full-sized Hi-Fi - with a price to match - but squeezed into a box that can stream almost all app-controlled music services

The new Play:5 is Sonos’s latest speaker – a revamp of its biggest and most powerful wireless system – and it hopes to be all the Hi-Fi you need in one powerful box.

Pros: great sound, easy setup, good app, can be very loud, flexible music sources, compact for such powerful speakers, can be paired for very good stereo sound or with other Sonos speaks for home cinema, line-in for direct and multiroom playback, simple touch controls on speaker

Cons: expensive, difficult to wall-mount, no Bluetooth, AirPlay or Google Cast support
