If you are using Sonos One or Sonos Beam in Singapore, you will be happy to know that as of two days ago (6th November 2019), Google Assistant is available for all Sonos users in Singapore.
Previously, if you want to use Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, you will need to go to your Sonos profile and change your country to the United States, as mentioned in my Sonos One blog post.
Sonos Amp is now available in Singapore at a recommended retail price of S$1,099.
You can get it from TC Acoustic Online Store or at Musica Boutique by Challenger located in Ion Orchard.
Before 2017, it has always been cheaper to get a Sonos PLAY:1 or Sonos One from Amazon, ship it to Singapore, and it is still cheaper than getting it in Singapore. That is how I got my Sonos PLAY:1.
Things have changed after that, and the prices for Sonos products in Singapore is almost the same as Amazon (sometimes even cheaper). And it comes with a warranty.
The Sonos BOOST is retailing for S$199 in Singapore.
It is retailing for US$99 (S$141) on Amazon and doesn’t ship to Singapore directly. Since the price difference before freight forwarding is only about S$60, it is not really worth getting it over at Amazon.
Sonos was having a Black Friday sale two weeks back for their Sonos PLAY:1. The usual price was US$199 (S$284), but for the sale, it went down to US$149 (S$213).
It does not ship to Singapore directly, so you have to ship it through a freight forwarder like HopShopGo.
The new SONOS PLAY:5 is now available in Singapore for S$999 in IT stores like Challenger and online at store.tcacoustic.com.sg.
About SONOS:5
The new SONOS PLAY:5 delivers a listening experience that is closer than ever to how every track was mastered in the studio. Built with six synchronized, custom-designed drivers, the speaker’s three mid-woofers create smooth mids and deep, powerful lows that go as low as 27Hz, and three tweeters deliver crystal clear highs at any volume. The drivers are strategically placed to create a soundstage that is much wider than expected in a single speaker, creating room-filling sound with precise separation of vocals and instruments.
