Refurbished play 1 for $100 is a terrible deal.

Not sure why this is a terrible deal. These are still good speakers and can't be found for less anywhere else. They are generally considered better sounding than the Symfonisk from Ikea, and make good surrounds. Plus they are S2 compatible.

Yes, they may be dropped at some point, but they are still a good value. No sense (for me) to spend $60+ more a speaker for the newer versions (I don't need airplay or a voice assistant).

You are getting a discontinued speaker that has been refurbished and has little warranty and no future support. You limit functionality when talking about adding these to future adds to your system.

My favorite feature of these is that they are humidity resistant. I've tried a few different Bluetooth speakers, but these are so much better for a shower/bathroom speaker. If you're looking for a bathroom speaker, I highly recommend it.

Play 1s are being discontinued, ie. obsolete. Add that to the fact that this vis refurbished makes this a bad deal.

I don't have another refurbished deal on a discontinued speaker lined up for you. Sorry.

Thanks for sharing the discontinued bit. My friend was looking for one and they don't like the ones with Mics. Their system is all Play 1's throughout their place.

OP, thanks for sharing. In for one.

You are getting a discontinued speaker that has been refurbished and has little warranty...

The discontinued part is right. The warranty part is wrong. You get 1 Year warranty.

These are a good deal which is tough to find on Sonos. Yes there is some risk that at some point down the road (probably years since V2 was released relatively recently and they are compatible) but it has been my experience that when Sonos makes a product obsolete they offer a 30% off your next speaker promotion. If you apply that to a sub (for example) you would get $200+ off, more than this speaker costs. On that note just owning this will give you access to 15% off a new speaker from Sonos which depending what you are in the market for could pay for this speaker just with the discount.

There are non microphone Sonos one SL that are not discontinued and will still work with the Sonos app.

If that is all you can afford though they do sound just as good. Will just be rough when the app drops support.

This is a good deal if you don't need Airplay or built-in mics.

These go used on marketplace for at least $80-90 or so EASILY. $100 for refurbished straight from the manufacturer is good.

The guy saying terrible is definitely being hyperbolic. While they are in fact discontinued, Sonos has shown they will support discontinued products for quite awhile. And while it's not a smoking hot, I'd say it's good, especially if you were looking at it already.

Now that is a good plan if you can do it. Love the sub but it is crazy expensive

I have several Play 1s and they all work great, especially for rear surround sound. I wish they would have kept the physical buttons versus touch on newer models.

I have several refurbished play1s. Where is the info on this 15% off coupon?
