| Review summary | No doubt a stylish system, but for its price we demand a little more functionality before we call it good value. But it sounds good and if that, plus looks, is what you're after, you won't be disappointed Read full review |
Every once in a while a product comes along that makes us drool like a newborn puppy. The Sonos is to home hi-fi what the iPod was to portable music players. We guarantee that anyone who installs a pair of Zoneplayers in their house is unlikely to leave it again Read full review |
Easy to set-up, a joy to use and a good-looking unit to boot. There's not much to criticise here apart from the lack of support for DRM-protected music. Most audiophiles will be dealing with higher bit rates than any DRM music comes in at the moment, so for some it may be a moot point. The original ZonePlayer set the standard, the ZP80 steals the show Read full review |
Simply put, this is the finest networked audio streamer we've ever seen. It's easy to use, beautifully designed and packed with features to an almost ludicrous extent Read full review |

Great value and function as a package, but some products perform individual functions better
Philips MCI-500H
A solid offering for the price, but its feature set doesn't attempt going the extra mile
