Introducing Sonos Five

A new look. The updated design features new details and a monochromatic finish.

The latest technology. Increased memory and processing power provide improved performance.

 

Enhanced with Trueplay™

Trueplay puts the speaker-tuning capability of the pros in the palm of your hands, customising the sound of the speaker to the unique acoustics of the room.

 

Smart stereo sound

Horizontal – When positioned horizontally, Five automatically separates the left and right channels for impressive stereo sound.

Vertical – Pair two speakers and each smartly adjusts to mono for more detailed stereo separation and an even wider soundstage.

Connect your turntable, CD player, projector, or other device directly to Five using the 3.5 mm jack.
