> hassle-free Sonos system at home instead of trying to fiddle with custom soundbars, connectors, sub-par applications
I found this kind of funny, given my experience with the Sonos at work:
* it seemingly can’t stay on the wifi
* the app crashes frequently, often mid song, leaving you with something that can’t be controlled (without the buttons) for a few minutes while the app starts back and and lazily attempts to reconnect.
* both the app and the device apparently need to do updates all the time, and it will nag you relentlessly if you don’t do the update before eventually not letting you use it at all.
* It doesn’t appear to support airplay, but sometimes iTunes and Spotify can cast to it in a rickety kind of way?
* The app UI/UX is also downright horrible.
It’s quite literally the opposite of what I’d consider simple.
