Hey Andrew Humiston, you're welcome and thanks for watching.

Hey Erick Macgon, thank you and thanks for watching.

Hey Walter Edwards, You're welcome and thanks for watching. I think they will too :)

O is that what that is. It’s very electronic.

Hey AR Industries, thank you and thanks for watching.

Hey stajlarn, thanks for watching and sharing your experience. Indeed, I'm also pretty satisfied with them as well.

I am thinking of buying these as surrounds, too. Are you pairing them with the Beam? How do you find the sound? And, how does the stereo pair sound just for playing music? Appreciate any thoughts you may have!

@@manLiMarth Yes, I am pairing them with the beam. It has made such a huge difference both in watching movies and playing music, easily one of my best impulse buys ever.

@@profilejohan definitely love to hear that! Picked them up already but haven't installed them. For music, do you have them as regular full speakers but grouped with the Beam, or still as surrounds? I was reading that there's an option somewhere in the settings...

@@manLiMarth I still use them as surrounds, but I've raised the levels a bit so that they're louder when playing music. Yeah you can change a lot of sound settings in the sonos app

Hey MARK MROZ , thanks for watching. Yeah, that sounds annoying. If the speakers are connected with AirPlay and the volume is controlled on the speakers itself, it will change on the iOS device as well (you will see the slider moving). If they aren't connected through AirPlay it will change the volume for the Sonos settings.

Hey Stephen Turvey, thanks for watching. I believe you can only add them as surround speakers so not as front speakers. Those are reserved for passive speakers.

i mean to put them on the left and right back of my sofa. Beam is in the front.

Hey Andrea Make Things, thanks for watching. Yes, adding two of these speakers will definitely increase the sound stage. You can set them up as "ambient" (mostly instrumental with vocals from the Beam) or as "full" (playing the same audio as the Beam).

b00bytrap thanks!

Hey David L, really good to be honest. The Beam is lacking a wide sound stage but these speakers in a surround setup with the Beam do make up for that. Audio meant for surround is only audible on that specific surround speaker (like helicopter sounds).

Hey Hugo's Drone Views, Haven't heard the Flip but even so I'm almost quite certain you won't regret it. The Symfonisk can also go really loud without distortion.

Hey Adam Kehoe, thanks for watching. Honestly, without modifying them, I don’t see a way to realize that. These speakers are meant for the Sonos controller. Also, if you want to use them as monitors, there are better alternatives out there for this use case. Don’t get me wrong, I love the sound quality of these speakers for home use but it’s not a “natural” sound. As for setting up these speakers that’s the same on Android as it is for iOS. Trueplay tuning is indeed only available on iOS and I believe that’s because there is no standard in microphone quality on Android devices what’s making tuning the acoustics inaccurate.

Hey FPL Lawyer, thanks for watching. The cord is 1,5m

Hey Pael Zuniga , thanks for watching. The bookshelf speakers don't sound quite as clear as the One and the One does sound better than the Play:1, but the price does make up for that easily. If you want the best quality, go with the Ones. If you want the best price/performance and still good quality, go for the SYMFONISK bookshelf speakers. It's hard to recommend the Play:1 speakers at this point.

Hey Sinseer Productions, yes but you'll need at least 3 speakers then :P

Hey 张明华, thanks for watching. Make sure your network is not blocking Sonos. I've seen it happen at some customer sites. Assuming this is not the case, what color does the LED indicate?

Hey scotty miller, yes you can. Since these speakers have AirPlay 2 you can select them on your Mac as a default output device. I've tested this on my MacBook Air and it works pretty well. On my MacBook, I noticed a small delay between the audio and the image but nothing major. drive.google.com/file/d/1SkguAEIienzs8B_Wns_-i5fo8WGXnywl/view?usp=sharing

b00bytrap I see. Too bad there is no 3.5mm plug in on these. Does it auto power off after a set amount of time also? The ikea Bluetooth speakers all seem to have auto turn off which is annoying

@@C_O_N_C_E_P_T Indeed, that would be a nice feature. The speakers (just like any other Sonos speaker) do go into sleep mode after some time when they don't receive a signal. They come online again when they receive a signal and that process takes a couple of seconds.

Hey Hélio Solar, thanks for watching. I have to disagree with you on the use case. For speakers in this segment, they sound pretty good at a higher volume too. They produce a rich sound without distortion. The hardware is on par with the Sonos Play:1 (not the One) and so does the sound quality. I will not compare them to my old JBL XTi (100 and 10) surround setup because that is totally a different segment.

Hey Maurice Buzzell , thanks for watching. This is why I tested them for a month before doing a video about them (with and without Trueplay tuning) and I have to admit that the overall quality is better when they are tuned but they will have to sound good out of the box (and they do). Android users have access to the Sonos app too but not to the Trueplay tuning (difference in mic quality with so many different Android devices). For them and because the app is available on Google Playstore, it will have to sound decent as well.

Gijs van der Sandt, no. Connect doesn't support surround for some stupid reason. But you can include the Connect so it plays music from the speakers connected, but no surround.

Hey Gijs van der Sandt, the classic Connect is intended to connect to a separate receiver. The Connect:Amp however can work in a surround configuration because you can connect two other speakers directly to it. If I'm not mistaken you can only set it up as a surround configuration so you'll still need a Playbar, Playbase or Beam.

b00bytrap Thanks, i’ve heard that you can use the new amp with two of the ikea speakers and a sub to make a 5.1 system

Garrett Bennicas , thanks for watching. Of course, but Ikea turned the form factor into a bad joke with the idea of a "book shelf".

Ikea Actually sells the mount so you can use the speaker as a book shelf lol

Hey Ryg Tno, Yes that should work just fine but it has to be set up first. You can try to do the setup again (after resetting) and see if that works. If so you can group rooms so you can play the same songs in multiple rooms at once support.sonos.com/s/article/3391?language=en_US

Hey José Da Franca Taborda, thanks for watching. Well, of course I did not test them for an entire month on my desk :) They were part of my surround setup in the living room and I tested them individually as well. That's what this video was about. The demo setup in my YT room was just to give an impression of my experience and the ease of use.

No, you need a playbar or beam for that

@@danny170 Or a sonos port I believe.

If your TV has airplay u prob can

Airplay 2 on your Apple TV

Brilliant question, don't see the point for buying this Sonos speakers if can't link them to a TV and only you can by buying another device....let alone that your home must be Apple products as well. I bought a IKEA Frekvens and linked to my Earthquake subwoofer and it works through cable or Bluetooth with all my devices and I don't have to have another extra app on my phone.

Hey J J, thanks for watching. Indeed, price-performance wise really good speakers.

Hey The.K.Locker , thank you for watching. You can indeed if paired with a Google assistant capable device, for example, the Beam or through Google Home.

Actually, you can use GA via smartphone to control your Symfonisk to play music from Spotify (premium) or radio by using voice commands. So a Sonos 1 with microphone is not needed.

Just to clarify, can I buy the IKEA speaker and cast KZfaq music directly to it without any other Sonos speaker and can I add it to a Google speaker group and cast to it that way?

@@futurecactus yes, for more info zeeley at live dot nl

@@Zeeley01 thanks for the help.

Hey SnukkieBoy, thanks for watching. I must say that I haven't heard the T15 speakers myself but I've read some mixed reviews about them. Obviously, these speakers (drivers) are not the same. Also, they're in a different category. It's nice that a pair of T15s are half the price of two Symfonisk speakers but you'll need a receiver as well. The target audience for Sonos are the people that want decent sounding speakers (not saying the best), ease of use and the least amount of cabling/equipment to accomplish that (myself included).

Hey Wojciech B. In the time I used these speakers I've never had issues with the WiFi signal. So as long as you have a good signal, you should be fine ;)

@@b00bytrap I got it :) the sound is quite OK (compare with EARFUN UBOOM) But I got some troubles to add radiostation other than built in SONOS SYSTEM... I try to find solution but from yesterday... No chance at all... Cherrs from Poland! Spend a great X-mass time!

You can turn up the bass

These beg for sound dampening. Get some butyl type rubber (I used second skin damplifier pro) the bass response improved a lot. I have 7 sonos ones throughout the house plus some other products. I also have two of the symfonisc. I get better bass from the symphonisc after sound deadening it. I cant do that on the sonos one. Plus I just recently ran a line out from the midwoofer driver to run line levels into a cheap extra 1w inch sub i have. And for under 300 bucks I have a nice 2.1 system in the office. Sounds better than my play 5 now.

@@chrishaney1954 Hi, I just bought 2 symfonisk's speakers and generally I am glad, but would like to increase bass indeed. Could you please explain a bit how to do it with a rubber you mentioned? I mean I've never done a "sound dampening", so any help would be appreciated...

@@tzwolas Did you manage to solve it?

@@Fremmy No, but basically I am glad with the sound quality

3:32 ah nevermind lol Hoi ik ben ook nederlands😂

Hey Dave, thanks for watching. Indeed ;-)

Hey Frans De Groot, thanks for watching. Well no, it's not a 5.1 configuration or a dolby atmos setup.. but.. technically it's still a surround configuration as the Beam has 4 full range woofers and a tweeter. Combined with these two Symfonisk speakers you'll have a surround configuration. Of course, the sound stage will be better when using separate speakers on the front but that's not what this video was about.

lol they have a 3" "woofer" - what can you expect?

Indeed, they do sound pretty good (for €99 costing speakers) and better than my video presents them. Unfortunately it was the best my mic could pick up and then of course there’s the editing and compression of the video.

Which is what they are...

Hey Paul Davies, thanks for watching. In general.. no. However, compared to the Sonos One / Sonos Play:1.. they are.

Hey Mohamad Khalil Hamieh , thanks for watching. Are you referring to the sound quality of the recording? In that case, I can confirm they sound much better than the recording. Sadly, my mic isn't capable to capture the full potential of these speakers.

@@b00bytrap I do agree with you , sound quality will depend on your mic ,again thanks for posting . thumbs up .

@@b00bytrap It's almost impossible to capture an accurate impression of sound quality of speakers through the filtration of ~The Mic ~The Analog to Digital Conversion ~The video compression ~KZfaq's further compression ~The playback system of the KZfaq Viewer. I do appreciate the attempt though, especially when you added them to your larger Sonos system so we viewers could have some sort of reference for comparison.

@@evshrug it's impossible to give sound experience trough KZfaq/web. I watched it on my phone. So every musik is the same "shit" quality. :)
