We discovered the Period 300 to be one of many best-sounding audio system Sonos has made after we reviewed it. The mannequin’s spatial audio expertise could be a hit and miss in that typically, the Atmos variations of songs might sound like they’ve an excessive amount of reverb that the vocals get misplaced within the combine. However total, it exhibited glorious sound high quality and may make songs shine by reproducing bass, vocal and instrumentation in nice element. It makes songs sound wealthy, crisp and vibrant. We suggested not shopping for the Period 300 just for the sake of spatial audio in our evaluation, because the library of tracks that help the function stays fairly small. That would change sooner or later, although, particularly if Apple actually does begin rewarding artists for providing their music in spatial audio.
It is value noting that Sonos recommends pairing two Period 300 audio system for “mind-bendlingly sensible encompass sound,” and getting the cheaper variations would make {that a} extra inexpensive prospect. The mannequin is fairly simple to arrange anyway — simply add the speaker to your Sonos app after which pair it together with your music companies of selection — so having two or extra will not be a problem. In case you are on the lookout for one thing else, although, Sonos is promoting extra refurbished units on its web site.
