Following on from the hugely successful Sonos S5 comes the new, cute and compact Sonos Play:3

With dimensions that are even more petite than the already, less than clumsy S5, the Play:3 will fit the tightest of places and is perfect for the study, kitchen or bedroom.

Like other products in the range, Sonos take sound quality very seriously. That’s why each of the three speakers contained within feature their own digital amplification. This gives the Play:3 exceptional control over the music with crisp, clear treble, a natural mid-range and a surprisingly punchy bass response. Certainly, given its compact size, the room-filling bass response comes as a revelation after other similarly sized docks.

Controlling the Play:3 remains as effortless as ever. Using a free App you can utilise your iPhone, iPod Touch or Android smart phone to wirelessly control the Sonos Play:3. In addition to playing back your own music library, you can get unlimited music with access to Spotify, last.fm, iTunes, Napster, Pandora, Rhapsody, Sirius and over 25,000 free Internet radio stations via Internet Radio. In short, you’ll never run out of music!

With your smart phone in control, it’s good to know that texts and calls can still be received whilst the music continues to play! For added flexibility, the Sonos Play:3 is fully compatible with the Sonos CR200 controller.

Unlimited wireless music via your smart phone/iPod Touch is just half the story with the Sonos Play:3. By connecting it up to your Sonos system it can become a separate, fully controllable, zone within a multi-room system. Listen to different music in different rooms or the same song in different rooms in Party Mode, the choice is yours.

Stand-alone streaming device with easy controllability or system-controlled zone within a full Sonos multi-room system and everything in between; the Play:3 may be small but it opens up a vast array of possibilities. Small is beautiful!
