That makes the Play:3 more sensitive to placement unlike the Play:5 with its powered 3.5-inch bass driver (more on that later). Notably, the Play:3 lacks an amplified subwoofer, relying upon a passive, rear-firing bass radiator. Naturally, the Play:3 had to scale back the individually amplified drivers as well just three - one tweeter flanked by two 3-inch mid-range drivers - compared to the five drivers found in the Play:5. However, unlike the bulkier Play:5, the Play:3 also includes a standard 1/4-inch, 20-thread socket for easy placement on the wall using a standard satellite speaker wall mount. To achieve its smaller size, the Play:3 is limited to a single Ethernet and power jack on the back compared to the Ethernet pair, headphone, line-in, and power jacks found on the Play:5.

Although it works well with TuneIn radio, Stitcher, Pandora and other apps, they still haven't really gotten the Music library down yet. Spoken word files and podcasts are difficult to manage. The only negative is that sonos needs to pay a little attention to its user interface. Control from your computer or an app from your phone. I have all my favorite radio stations and programs bookmarked. Its setup is really as easy as pushing two buttons. The Sonos system actually works - all the time. Wireless connections had problems, and the remotes never really worked. I've had other internet radio streaming devices before (sqeezebox) that never really worked. ![]() Overall, I give the device an A+ and the user interface a solid B.
