Sonos Digital Music System

The Sonos Digital Music System is another player in the networked audio world and they have come on strong. The have released not only a very full featured product but also a very stylish and well thought out device. They have gone for simplicity and and the idea that a product should just work out of the box.

You shouldn't need to leaf through the manual and search on the web for hours to get it working. They are aiming at the non geeks out there that just want a nice music player that allows them to play their music anywhere. Well from what we can tell so far they have hit it out of the park.

We haven't had the opportunity to get one in house for a hands on review, but we have been following this product closely for some time. We will make sure to update you all once we have put it through its paces.

From their site:

Sonos is the first wireless, multi-room digital music system that lets you play digital music all over your house—and control it all from the palm of your hand. With a wireless Sonos® Controller in hand, you'll have plug-and-play access to millions of songs—from music services, Internet radio, your personal digital music collection, or all of the above.
And, with Sonos® ZonePlayers in the rooms of your choice, you can play the same song in different rooms, or different songs in different rooms. To start listening, just grab the full-color Controller and simply pick a room, pick a song and hit play.

After reading their site we were very impressed with the features it had to offer and hat seemed like the coolest remote we have ever seen. We quickly jumped around the web to see what other people were saying about it. The reviews have all praised the Sonos for its looks, quality and innovation. Here is a well done review that showers praise on the Sonos:

We will be sure to give you all a more comprehensive review once we get to play with one of these bad boys ourselves, until then stay tuned.
