Hi Les,
Yes, you’ll love the setup and I know you’ll order a set of Play 1 as rear speakers, it really completes this set up and makes a big difference for movies as well as music listening. I am usually a bit of a purist when it comes to music and very much in the stereo camp, but the way Sonos handles music with a Playbar, Sub and two Play 1 speakers is indeed very nice. Also, keep in mind that there are companies which make various wall-mounting brackets for Play 1, Play 3 and even Play 5 players and there are wall-mount and TV mounts for the Playbar. Some of them get very expensive, but they are very nice and it makes for a very nice, clean look. I had a custom wrought-iron shelf/rack made for my TV and my 40 inch Sony LCD TV is mounted in that with a wall-mount. I was able to take off the base it sat on before and the guy who made the rack made me a custom setup for my Playbar which has two posts which go into the 2 square holes where the stand was attached so my Playbar is mounted right underneath the TV and flush with the front of the TV. All cables are pretty much hidden behind and I made a shelf out of solid walnut which sits in a frame above the TV and which holds my satellite receiver, Apple TV and blueray player. The very top of that rack which is about 5 and a half feet tall has another solid walnut shelf which is for nicknacks and decorations.

After reading so many positive comments about the Sonos system, I just order the play bar and sub for our living room. I have an orderly speakers yet, but I'm sure that will happen. My unit should be arriving today. I'm really looking forward to the excellent sound I expect to receive.

You can easily plug headphones into this, and indeed I have a device plugged into a connect that sends any audio from Sonos directly to my hearing aids. You can set it up as a room of its own or group it with another. For example, we have a Sonos PlayBar, sub, and two Play:1s in our living room for 5.1 surround sound. When we're watching a movie, I send audio to a Sonos connect as well so I get the sound of the movie straight into my hearing aids. But it could easily be wireless or wired headphones plugged in there. Becoming a Sonos household has been the coolest tech we've adopted since iPhone. I love this stuff.

I’ve been waiting fore this for at least the last 2 or 3 years and each year I hope they’ll announce such a product. Of course there are many situations where one would want to listen privately with a headset and considering how much of a focus there has been on headsets in the last few years I don’t get it how Sonos isn’t jumping on that bandwagon. I think there could be either one of two products or both: one would be high-quality stand-alone audio file quality headphones but of course such a product would be very pricy considering one can easily spend $500 to $1,000 or even more on true audio file quality wired headphones. I think a product around $500 to $700 US from Sonos would be the right price point and one where they could really make it sound awesome. The other product which I think should be a companion to the headphones would be a small iPhone-size or slightly thicker headphone amp with rechargeable battery, a quarter inch headphone jack and belt clip. This would be the product that connects to the Sonos system and acts as a separate player and it would allow users to plug in any headset or headphones they have from a cheap $20 pair of earbuds to a pair of Sennheiser HD800S for $1,699 which is probably about as good as it gets. A product like this should maybe cost $250 to $400 or $500 at most if they put in really good components and if Sonos were to make only one product I hope it would be this one as it offers a lot more flexibility with headsets users already own.

I was under the impressions that it did have a headphone jack but wonder if it was removed in the newer model. This is a real turn off for me. I guess I should have bought one earlier.
