A couple of months ago we shared with you a piece of news that fully affected users of Sonos speakers in their older models. This was a "normal" measure for what we all think happens with older devices, the firm announced the end of support for the first ZonePlayer, Connect and Connect: Amp speakers (sold between 2006 and 2015), the first generation Play: 5 (released in 2009), CR200 (released in 2009) and Bridge (released in 2007) during the month of May of this year.
Finally the firm rectifies and it seems that it does so voluntarily although it is true that user complaints have been heard on many sites. It's all because the "recycling mode" that the North American firm had to activate forced us in some way to throw away the loudspeaker almost immediately once we activated it. In this way the speaker was completely disabled and we could enjoy a new speaker, but of course, the complaint is precisely focused because the disabled speaker could continue to function normally and not generating more garbage because it cannot be used ...
Well, all that is already solved and the brand will not block the older speakers even if the user uses this "recycling mode" of its official website to get a discount on a new one. So add the serial number of your speaker and activate the offer without leaving an unusable speaker at home. A very good decision the one chosen by Sonos this time since our old equipment will continue to work, with the update limitations and so on, but working.
