Hasta La Gadget!

For those of us who can’t stand shiny white electronics in our entertainment systems or on our countertops, Sonos has unviled a black version of the Sonos ZonePlayer S5 that was released late last year. When we reviewed the S5, we found it a great way to get some of Sonos’ best features, like streaming music from your iTunes library, Pandora, Last.fm, and SIRIUS Internet Radio into your living room with as few wires as possible, or wirelessly if you have other Sonos S5s in your home already.

The black S5 will set you back $399 US, the same as its white counterpart. The two devices offer the same features, including great sound quality in large spaces and the ability to control what’s playing on your Sonos device using the Sonos Controller app for your iPhone or iPod Touch, or by using the Sonos Controller desktop app for your Mac or PC.

You’ll still need at least one Sonos plugged in to your home network in order for the apps to work. Also, the device still doesn’t have an iPod dock or another place you can connect another digital music player directly to the device, but the S5 still delivers Sonos’ most popular features to a tabletop music system that’s more affordable than any other Sonos product. Now that it’s in black, you can be safe in the knowledge that your S5 won’t clash with the rest of your home audio equipment.
