How can someone built a sonos killer that lacks quality? Sure, Beats knows a lot about marking and is pulling it of to offer overpriced products and actually sell them. I don't want to bash Beats...

How many "Sonos Killers" have there been? Logitech Squeeze box? Terrible. Bose? Terrible. Let's face it, Sonos is fantastic and nobody has come close. For those who will bash the sound of the Son...

$700 for a speaker because someone put bluetooth and wifi in it? Yea no wonder Apple killed it?

This doesn't make sense to me. To be a Sonos "killer" they'd have to have a platform that supported all of the various services Sonos supports. Almost all of those services were direct competitor...

For now, just integrate Apple Music onto Sonos and I could be sold. Until this happens, I'll be staying with Spotify!

Not launching a new range of hardware that supports apples own AirPlay direct standard when they launched the streaming service is a missed opportunity for me!!!
