Reviews

• Digital Tested issue 5/2010; place 3 of 3: "satisfactory" (69%)
  • Price/Performance: "good".
  • "Pros: easy expandability with additional Sonos items; control via 'Sonos Desktop Controller'.
  • Disadvantages: Remote control sold separately; WLAN function only with ZoneBridge."
• Stereo Heft 4/2010; Single test: sound level: 58%.
  • Price/Performance: "excellent" (4 out of 5 stars).
  • "In its no-frills, solidly crafted plastic housing, the ZP 90 is the foundation of the most sophisticated streaming concept currently available. It makes music smoothly and attaches importance to lush, sonorous timbres. Fine resolution and detailing are not among its strengths, but it still outshines the competition in its price range. Logitech and Apple offer similarly usable systems, but their expandability is limited."
• stereoplay issue 12/2009; single test: without final score
  • „... The ZP 80 is replaced by the ZP 90 ... which gained 2 sound points in the listening comparison. Above all, Sonos has improved the already excellent operation ... the solid and perfectly manufactured remote control automatically wakes up from sleep mode when moved and is then ready for use faster than an iPhone. ..."
• CT issue 5/2009; 11 products in test: without final score
  • „... The ZonePlayer ZP90 ... requires an external amplifier. ..."
• Audio Test issue 2/2010; Rank 3 of 3: "satisfactory" (69 out of 100 points).
  • Price/Performance: "good"
  • „... Particularly impressed ... the included server software with its extensive and user-friendly functions. Its counterpart on the iPod touch was also able to convince us with its chic interface and simple operation. ...“
