Yes, I also bought the Sonos one, and in terms of sound and design it's delightful.
Unfortunately, under the clean and unassuming look lurks a spying monster. Sonos tracks the hell out of everything. Even in the EU where consumers are supposedly protected by GDPR and other directives.
A look at their privacy policy[0] makes my hair stand
> Functional Data:
> This data is absolutely necessary for your Sonos Product or Service, including Sonos Radio, to perform its basic functions in a secure way and you will not be able to opt out from this data collection, sharing, and/or processing if you want to continue to use your Sonos Products.
> We collect:
> Registration data. This data includes your email address, location, language preference, Product serial number, IP address, and Sonos account login information (as described above).
> System data. This data includes things like Product type, controller device type, controller operating system, software version, content source (audio line in), signal input (e.g. whether your TV outputs a specific audio signal such as Dolby to your Sonos system), information about WiFi antennas, system settings (such as equalisation or stereo pair), Product orientation, names of the music service(s) you added/enabled on your Sonos product, the names you have given your Sonos Product in different rooms, whether your Product has been tuned using Sonos Trueplay technology, system performance metrics (e.g. the temperature of your Product or WiFi signal strength) and error information.
And this is "just" the "absolutely necessary" data ... by default they also collect more Usage data, which as you can imagine, includes much more...
