Strange. I recently purchased some Sonos products and haven’t had any issues whatsoever. They’ve been absolutely fantastic for me.

What issues are you experiencing? Wonder if it’s something I can keep a look out for.

My setup is from Audio Pro, a Swedish brand. Never really thought Sonos were good value for the price and sound quality to be honest... Not an audiophile but I always look for the best bang for the buck I'm spending on audio.

My Sonos speakers has been kind of buggy but I also have a brand new google home and it is not any better. I am thinking the blame is on google assistant. Google assistant seems to do a much better job understanding me but is inconsistent with nearly identical input. Alexa seems to be worse but is at least consistent.

Building your own is also ridiculously simple and as cheap or expensive as you’re willing to spend on speakers and/or drivers.

I switched my Sonos speaker over from Alexa to Google and it’s working well enough now.
