SONOS in DUBAI - finally
 

I am so happy to finally setup my Sonos at home!
I've never thought to have it here since moving 1 month ago...
Good to find and agent here to help me.

Re: SONOS in DUBAI - finally
 

let me guess. YOU ARE the agent in question

Re: SONOS in DUBAI - finally
 

lol! :p:p:p

:goodpost:

he was referred by a friend mate.. just sharing my joy! :)

Re: SONOS in DUBAI - finally
 

yeah, uh huh. im sure.

Re: SONOS in DUBAI - finally
 

was that friend J-Lo?

Re: SONOS in DUBAI - finally
 

Are we just talking about the wireless speakers here? Why do you need an agent to help you set them up?

Re: SONOS in DUBAI - finally
 

He is not really an agent, a sort of technician / product specialist..

I put 8 speakers in the house in 4 rooms plus garden,kitchen etc..

That agent went for a site visit and setup my home internet and made it available everywhere in the house., since Sonos is wifi-based.

Its like an automation for my audio/entertainment..

Shiva and Flares - such a bully!!

What a welcome for me! I thought this is a friendly site!

Re: SONOS in DUBAI - finally
 

you were clearly mistaken

Re: SONOS in DUBAI - finally
 

Bullies? That's called taking the mickey.

Do toughen up or you'll never last in the ME.

Re: SONOS in DUBAI - finally
 

Or on BE in the ME !!!

Re: SONOS in DUBAI - finally
 

just bought a Sonos system yesterday. Play 5 plus Play 1 with a Bridge as my router isn't in a convenient place for the speakers. took me about 15 minutes to get it all up and running.

Re: SONOS in DUBAI - finally
 

You didn't need an agent to come and do it all for you? Extraordinary! I've been watching for the OP to come back and give us his recommendation on an agent plus price. I cannot imagine why else he would set up an account just to tell us the news, and post nothing else.

Re: SONOS in DUBAI - finally
 

download the controller app, install each speaker unit by pressing a combination of 2 buttons. Not rocket science.

Re: SONOS in DUBAI - finally
 

people can't even put petrol in their own car here so getting someone in to press those two buttons is not too far-fetched..

did you buy from sharaf or somewhere else by the way?

Re: SONOS in DUBAI - finally
 

the agent went to my house for a free site visit to check what are the requirements (because it is a wifi based system) and that's it.. i didn't pay him money or anything... he told me that i can purchase them from sharaf, eros or jumbo... my choice..

though my wifi is *****ed up, i have to pay somebody to fix it for me.. a freelancer that charged way less.. coz freaking internet solutions company charged 3k..
i am not a techy guy.. :(

Re: SONOS in DUBAI - finally
 

was planning to buy from Sharaf at Al Barsha mall but they were unable to answer their phone (tried numerous times)

so I bought from Eros in MOE and sent a nice message to Sharaf customers services asking them to congratulate their Al Barsha staff on a loss of a sale.

will be adding an extra play 1 or 3 in a couple of months.

Re: SONOS in DUBAI - finally
 

i am a techy guy, but even my mum figured out how to get wifi up and running on her own. if you're paying 3k to set up wifi i'll happily help you out..:thumbsup:

Re: SONOS in DUBAI - finally
 

Would suggest Sharaf DG+ in Times Square or Denon Showroom in Dubai Mall.
This two showrooms are purely audio specialist and they sell Sonos and other products..

Re: SONOS in DUBAI - finally
 

Do Denon sell non-Denon products in their stores now? I thought they'd be keener on selling there own versions of the Sonos...

Also, can you stream directly from an laptop or ipad to Sonos speakers, for example can you stream youtube through them? I thought not which is why I wrote them off and have been looking at alternatives.

Re: SONOS in DUBAI - finally
 

YES they do now....

They have this one product called, CONNECT. which you can connect home theaters, laptop, PCs, MAC or whatever source, then it will pass on the audio to other sonos speakers...

Re: SONOS in DUBAI - finally
 

you can stream spotify, Tunein radio and quite a few apps from laptop/phone etc but not youtube.

don't know if they will add that

Re: SONOS in DUBAI - finally
 

It has the line-in capability. so anything that you play from laptop or any other source can be played through Sonos.

Re: SONOS in DUBAI - finally
 

Play 3 and play 1 don't have line in
