SANUS Wireless Speaker Stand for Sonos Five and Play:5 - Optimal

In this review the SANUS Wireless Speaker Stand is evaluated for owners of the Sonos Five and Sonos PLAY:5 who want a clean, elevated setup that preserves audio performance. The stand is clearly designed with the speaker in mind: it positions a Sonos 5 at the recommended listening height, hides cables in an integrated channel, and uses a heavy anodized aluminum base to stabilize the speaker. For anyone pairing speakers for stereo, adding surrounds, or simply wanting a neat, elevated display, the WSS52 delivers practical improvements without fuss.

Key Features

• Vertical and horizontal support: Holds the Sonos Five or PLAY:5 securely in either orientation so users can choose placement that matches their room and listening preferences.
• Optimal listening height: The stand raises the speaker to 31 in, which helps deliver clearer imaging and better overall sound for most seating positions.
• Durable anodized aluminum: The alloy construction offers a sturdy, attractive look that complements Sonos finishes while resisting wear.
• Integrated cable management: Press Fit channels conceal cords along the back of the stand for a cord-free appearance and neater installation.
• Improved bracket security: An updated front lip on the bracket ensures a snug fit and reduces the risk of the speaker shifting or tipping.
• Stability accessories included: Heavy base, optional rubber pads and carpet spikes provide a low center of gravity and adaptability to different floor surfaces.

Who It's For

The SANUS stand is best for Sonos Five or PLAY:5 owners who value room aesthetics, neat cable routing, and precise speaker placement for stereo pairing or surround setups. Audiophiles who want the speaker at a recommended height without mounting to the wall will appreciate the stand's thoughtfulness.

It may be unnecessary for buyers who prefer wall mounting, very low-profile furniture placement, or those who do not own a Sonos Five or PLAY:5, since the fit and features are tailored to those specific models.
