- WiFi rather than Bluetooth: SONOS speakers allow you to stream your music over WiFi rather than Bluetooth. This means that the connection from your smartphone won't be lost as you're walking around the house. Stream from popular services such as Spotify, Deezer or Apple Music, all over your wireless network.
- A modern, smart home design: Both of the products in this bundle are fairly big in size. However, this doesn't mean that they'll look awkward or out of place in your home. They're elegantly designed and look exactly like something you'd find within the interior of a futuristic connected home.
- Intelligent Trueplay technology: SONOS speakers are equipped with software called Trueplay. Essentially, Trueplay scans the layout of the room that the speaker is in, measures its accoustic properties and adjusts the speakers sound output accordingly. This means that your device will always produce the best quality sound, wherever you place it.
- Quick installation: Setting up these products is a simple process. The PLAY:5 can be connected to your home WiFi network in seconds. Download the SONOS app for further step-by-step instructions to get your speaker up and running. Use the app to link the SUB to your other SONOS devices and your new home entertainment system will be ready in minutes.
- Smart adaptability: The SUB may be fairly big but it's also very versatile. It will work wherever you place it, whether you have it laying on its side or standing upright. It will even work perfectly when it's tucked away, underneath your couch.
- Speakers that work together: Having two PLAY:5's opens up even more potential for an impressive sound. Place your them both on a desk in an upright position. Once in this position, the speakers work together and individually adjust to ensure stereo seperation. This allows for a much more crisp and detailed sound, meaning that you can enjoy your music like never before.
- Control through voice commands: SONOS products are compatible with Amazon's Alexa and the Google Assistant. Ensure that you have the relevant app or smart assistant device and you'll be able to enjoy the convenience of controlling your entire home speaker system through simple voice commands.

Getting your products up and running is a simple process. Download the 'SONOS Controller' app for installation guidance. The devices can be easily connected to your home WiFi network and the speaker and the subwoofer are linked together through the SONOS app. Once installed, the speakers utilise the clever Trueplay technology to produce the best possible sound. Combining the SUB adds serious bass and depth to this system and ensures that lower frequencies of music also get the attention they deserve.
Let's keep expanding!
This bundle provides you with the foundations for a great home entertainment system, but there's no reason why you should just stop there. Why not add some extra dimensions to your system by bringing in a SONOS soundbar such as the Beam or the PLAYBAR. Alternatively, you could create an immersive surround sound system by adding a couple of SONOS One's. There's so much potential to create your own unique home entertainment system.

FAQs
- Do these products also work with Bluetooth?
No, these products only use WiFi to stream music.
Does the Trueplay technology also work with the SUB?Yes, Trueplay is compatible and works well with the SONOS SUB.
Can I use Trueplay from my Android device?Unfortunately, Trueplay is currently only available on devices with iOS10 or higher. The sheer number of devices that use the Android platform means that the software, microphones and audio processes vary significantly. Therefore, SONOS isn't able to ensure reliable and consistent tuning on these devices. However, the brand is working on this and hopes to have Trueplay available on Android devices in the near future.
