The Sonos Five is the company’s most powerful music-focused speaker. In our review, we lauded it for (among other things) excellent sound quality and a simple setup process. We called the Five Sonos’ best speaker and gave it a score of 89.
You can pair it with a second Five for stereo separation or use it as part of a multi-room setup with other Sonos WiFi speakers.
