Some Sonos speakers, like the Sonos Roam, have automatic Trueplay and automatically calibrate themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Proper audio design can be challenging, given how much stuff we cram into our homes. Sound waves are dynamic signals that bounce all over the place, so picking the ideal spot for your speakers can be quite the trial. Sonos gives you a hands-off approach to this task with its Trueplay feature.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_You_Need_to_Know_About_Trueplay\"><\/span>What You Need to Know About Trueplay<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Trueplay is software for Sonos speakers that calibrates them to sound good from anywhere in the room. This software is designed to analyze the features of a room; such as its size, layout, and furniture, so that your speakers can compensate for anything that will hinder the movement of the sound waves output by your speakers.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Sonos_Trueplay_Available_on_Android\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_1\">Is Sonos Trueplay Available on Android?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Sadly, Trueplay is not available for Android devices. As of April 2023, the Trueplay software only works with iPhones and iPads. This is due to Android devices having much greater variance in their microphones than Apple ones.<\/p>\n<p>To calibrate audio with smartphones reliably, you need constant microphone quality across all mobile devices\u2014otherwise, things won\u2019t sound right. Apple is in charge of all the hardware and software of their mobile devices, which results in better consistency, while Android allows third-party developers to take the reigns in those regards.<\/p>\n<p>This is not favoritism towards Apple products\u2014it\u2019s just the facts about the internal microphones across all mobile devices created by these tech titans.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Apple_Devices_Work_With_Trueplay\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_2\">Which Apple Devices Work With Trueplay?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For Trueplay, you need an Apple product with a microphone that runs on iOS 7 or later.

If you don\u2019t have an Apple device, then ask a friend or family member who does to come over for a movie night or something along those lines.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Sonos_Speakers_Are_Compatible_with_Trueplay\"><\/span>Which Sonos Speakers Are Compatible with Trueplay?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Depending on the Sonos speaker or speakers you own, it may have manual or automatic Trueplay software.\u00a0For manual Trueplay, you need to use an iPhone or iPad to calibrate your speakers.

Quick Tuning is not as precise as Trueplay tuning and should only be used if you need to do a simple test.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve moved any of your speakers or changed what room they are in, we recommend that you use Trueplay tuning to recalibrate for the best sound quality. Although, if you\u2019ve only moved one piece of furniture or accidentally nudged a speaker (or something along those lines), using Quick Tuning should be fine for checking the audio.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what actually happens when you select \u201cQuick Tuning\u201d: your iPhone or iPad emits test sounds for 30 seconds. You don\u2019t need to walk around and wave your device; just make sure the room is as quiet as possible for the duration of the process.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_Sonos_Trueplay_Work_and_Is_it_Worth_it\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_7\">Does Sonos Trueplay Work, and Is it Worth it?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you don\u2019t have a room that\u2019s specifically designed for acoustics (like a recording studio in your basement or something like that), Trueplay is definitely worth it. Many Sonos users agree that it increases the sound quality when they listen to music or watch movies and TV shows.<\/p>\n<p>This is due to Trueplay taking objects in the room into consideration so that the sound waves travel optimally. Normally, sound waves can be partially blocked by objects, however, Trueplay can compensate for this by sending those sound waves around said obstructions.<\/p>\n<p>To check the difference for yourself, you can toggle Trueplay on and off. By comparing how things sound with and without Trueplay, you can judge for yourself whether or not your room needs the added audio adjustments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
