Quality is a very important factor when it comes to buying any product, but it’s particularly important with HiFi systems and speakers. It’s never going to be easy to get a real feel for the quality of a product without being able to see or even test it.

This is why it’s so important to read lots of customer reviews, where you will be able to get an understanding from many of the customers of SONOS PLAY5 Wireless Smart Sound Multi-Room Speaker, just how good it is, in terms of quality. Take your time to read through the reviews looking for specific comments about the quality. It’s worth spending time looking for reviews from customers that have owned the product for some time as that will give you a really good idea of the product’s durability.

Our best advice for checking out the quality is reading reviews, but also use some of these to help you get an idea of the quality:

  • Price: The old saying “you get what you pay for” is a good indication as to how good quality you should expect from a product.
  • Specification: Check out the specs for SONOS PLAY5 Wireless Smart Sound Multi-Room Speaker and see how they compare to your expectations and other products.
  • Brand: Some brands are known for delivering amazing quality products, it’s a case of trying to find the Rolex equivalent for HiFi systems and speakers, but at a realistic and reasonable price.
  • Previous experience: Have you ever owned any HiFi systems and speakers? Think about your experience of the product and how good it was. What brand was it? How much was it? What was it made from? All of these can help you when considering your options.

Price analysis

SONOS PLAY5 Wireless Smart Sound Multi-Room Speaker scores 8.5/10 for price in our review.

Price is normally the most important factor when considering a purchase. Especially when you’re shopping online, it’s really easy for us to shop around now so we can easily compare prices of the same product against many retailers with just a few clicks. In fact here at Review Pros we do that leg work for you, by comparing many different retailers to find you the best price. But price is also a big factor for which product we choose too, not just which retailer.

To give an example, the most expensive product that we found in the HiFi systems and speakers category was £20000.00, whilst the cheapest we found was £9.97 so there’s a significant variance in the prices that different products are available for. For this reason we always recommend that you set yourself a budget before you spend too much time shopping around for a product. It’s easy to get carried away and buying a much more expensive product than you really need, but setting a budget will help to avoid this.
