Flexson Desk Stand : Nice stands, great shame about the retaining screw problem.

- by Brandle - 1 Comment

These stands are well made and sturdy. I’ve used them to make my floor-mounted sonos 1s a bit more prominent and lift them above trailing ivy plants. I don’t imagine they’ve made any.

Great little stands for the play 1 raising them off the surface by about 1. 5 inches and thus reducing any vibration. They look smart and the bolt securely holds the speaker in place. £20 for a pair i thought was reasonable. If your going to invest heavily in sonos which is not cheap then you can’t quibble about costs for sundry items like this.

They make one sonos speakers look really good in my bed room plus they keep the bass traveling through my furniture and annoying the rest of the house.

Very very good,i have four speakers so i’ve just ordered another pair. Really improve the sound and look neat.

  • Nice stands, great shame about the retaining screw problem.
  • Great addition, if you get the correct length bolts
  • Stands are as expected but as with other reviewers supplied

Flexson Desk Stand for SONOS PLAY:1 – Black (Pair)

  • Enter your model number
    to make sure this fits.
  • Stylish speaker stand angles sound to your ears
  • Optimises speaker performance by minimising vibration
  • Elegant metal design with chrome inlay
  • Black or white finishes to match SONOS PLAY:1
  • Perfect for office desk, kitchen, bedroom and living room

Very well made and study as you would expect, ideal if your using the sonos on a bedside table or dresser etc.

We have six sonos speakers around the house and four already use these stands. These were purchased for the remaining two but the bolt is too long so doesn’t secure the speaker properly. The ones we’ve bought in the past were perfect so disappointed these are not. Going to see if i can get new bolts at a diy store rather than the hassle of sending them back. Aside from this issue the stands are a great addition and look good. Not sure whether it’s phsycological or not but i think the sound is better. Without the stands the bass is a bit “thumpy” and the stands make a more rounded sound. They look good anyway and aim the sound up into the roomfinal verdict – go ahead and purchase, keeping your fingers crossed you get the correct bolts.

Speaker looks great raises it of the surface and enhances the sound , would recommend.

A very nice addition to the sonos speakers, they really look the part and much better than just standing the speakers on a table or shelve. Very easy to install and very well made, well worth the price. Technically i am not certain that they enhance the sound but to me the sonos speakers do seem to sound even better.

Love the flexion stands for sonos, why only 3 stars?. I had to add washers to give these a firmer hold on the sonos 1. Without them the speakers just wobbled around. Not sure if they were missing from the packaging but had some to hand and all fixed.

Great and sleek stand for the sonos 1 speaker. Not certain it works for the second generation of speakers, but this stand is very understated yet cradles the speaker very comfortably and helps with the sound quality, as the speaker is in lying flat on a surface.

Very solid and well made stand that works really well with the earlier sonos play 1. Very pleased with the item would certainly recommend.

These stands fit perfectly with the play:1 as you would expect,but to the point that they look like they should be provided with the speakers as standard. They give just enough lift to get the speaker raised and the cable management is all kept neat and runs through the stand.

For some reason i wanted these for some time and i caved in when they were 2 for 20quid. Very easy to fit, the bolt was fine and tightened nicely. Look good, no idea if they will offer any audio improvement but looking good is important.

Bought as a gift for our sons sonos play 1, it is a great piece of kit, an easy fit to the speaker and creates a better sound as vibrations are lost that would normally be found by laying flat on a shelf or desk. I’m that impressed i’m now looking at getting 2 for my self.

Fit the sonos 1 play speakers like a glove. They look the part and also help the sound.

This sonos speaker stand is perfect, it just lifts the speaker a couple of inches off the table so that the bass sound is not over amplified by the table the sonos sits on.

These are outstanding small stands, are unable to rate them very ample. Actually speedy shipping and well packed, thank you pretty a lot.

Getting read through assessments that the stand improved the sound excellent of the speaker by lifting it off the home furniture i determined to obtain 1. Audio excellent is surely better and the speaker stand is incredibly neat.

So just after looking through so numerous critiques about this product or service and seeking to exam out the included audio values of elevating the sonos speaker, i made the decision to order a single. The products is well place collectively and you can hear a change in the bass the moment in placement. I have experienced this product for a several months now, and have because acquired extra sonos speakers. I will upcoming be getting the flexson wall mounted fixtures for two engage in 1 speakers.

I also have encountered the difficulty of the retaining screw becoming tough to insert. For all the globe it feels as if you are attempting to screw a british typical whitworth thread into a metric thread. It defies perception that flexson are satisfied to see recurring detrimental responses about this issue and do practically nothing about it, when it plainly damages their standing and would certainly make me believe twice about purchasing any a lot more flexson goods. In phrases of resolving the trouble, on the 1st speaker i attempted to insert the offered screw into, i could only get it about a quarter of the way in just before jamming sound. Bizarrely the screw on the other speaker went in with no problem. I then attempted swapping the screws more than, and the one that had readily screwed into the second speaker went into the 1st speaker quite simply. I uncovered that the screw that wouldn’t go into the initially speaker could finally be inspired entirely into the 2nd speaker with repeated backing off and reinsertion. So in the stop i had equally screws absolutely property with out obtaining to resort to possibly washers or re-tapping their threads.

Very well they keep the engage in 1’s fantastically, lifting the audio extra to your head top. They look great and are a doddle to match. An great addition to any entrance home. Absolutely a excellent products.

Some critiques stated they had problems with the bolts fitting on the back again, so i was prepared for the worst, but they fitted correctly and i fitted them in a few of minutes and actually delighted with them, so just bought one more pair, and my buddy is also getting a pair. Properly created and glance good, you are unable to go improper.

    A number of people are posting that the screw does not fit properly into the back of the speaker. I have just bought 7 stands and the screws fit fine. The problem is that you need to properly align the screws too the hole. A little patience and they will fit.

    There are no issues with the rear screw as reported. You just need to carefully locate the screw by finger and tighten by hand and they will go all the way into the sonos thread, you can then back off the screw and slide into the stand. Even then you can hand tighten the screw by hand and they will be secure or a quarter turn with a screwdriver just to make sure. If you don’t locate the screw properly at the start you will cross thread the screw and the sonos thread, you will then feel resistance which then creates cross threading then a gap will occur which gives the need to use washers as the srew isn’t located in the sonos thread squarely. Theres a nice finish to the stand and it matches the sonos play 1 design. There appears to be far less vibration which tightens up the sound nicely. Enjoy and be careful with those screws, fingers first, don’t use a screw driver until the very end.

    The stand is just perfect to elevate the play:1 speakers. The screws are the correct size, you just have to ensure they are lined up correctly. Persist, i promise they are the right size.

    1. Looks stylish and improved the sound. And at just over £10, a bit of a bargain too. Some people have complained about the screw supplied is too long, but i didn’t encounter any issues. I bought this item along with the short play 1 cable and it has tidied things up nicely.

    Would have provided a 5 star rating if the fitting bolts weren’t too long. Other than that, they are sturdy and elevate the speaker sound throughout the room.

    Does what it is supposed to do. I would think it is essential for the speaker, both for better sound and ease of movement as well as how it looks.

      1. Like others have said, great stands but how can they still be sending them out with screws that are too long. Easily fixed but totally unneccesary.

    It’s a very simple product but does the job well. It elevates the speaker an inch and a bit, and points the speaker at your face sitting at a desk. Design is solid, and the two play 1’s fit a charm. The stand (if the speaker is fitted tightly) will vibrate with the speaker – especially the front. You might get an added boost in mids and lows depending on the surface you place it on. However this is subjective as to whether it’s a benefit but i stuck the foam to the bottom to remove this. Again, not a downside just personal preference. Most like the added boost in soundfor added flair i took off the grill of the play 1 to see the drivers as i listen to music (yes, i voided the warranty for this) however this added a couple of millimeters of space between the stand and the player. Fixed by taking the unit back off of the stand and cutting a little rectangle of foam to put in that space that comes with the stands.

    As per previous reviews these are really nice quality stands (and do look great) except the rear fixing bolt is a bit too long and so don’t hold stand securely onto the back of the play 1 speakers. I contacted the supplier 2-3 weeks ago, who asked me to send a photo of the bolt (which i did) and have heard nothing more since. In the end i added a rubber tap washer between the bolt and speaker fixing bracket which works perfectly (and you can’t see from the front). There is clearly an issue with the bolt length supplied and i hope the supplier sorts this out soon (otherwise i fear they will get lots of returned items).

      1. So after reading so many reviews about this product and wanting to test out the added sound values of elevating the sonos speaker, i decided to purchase one. The product is well put together and you can hear a difference in the bass once in position. I’ve had this product for a few months now, and have since bought additional sonos speakers. I will next be purchasing the flexson wall mounted fixtures for two play 1 speakers.

    Really sets the speaker off. Looks great and can only help with reducing vibration and improving sound quality. Visitor to the house over christmas commented positively on the looks of the sonos speaker and the stand itself.
