 Overpriced, but you can't get it anywhere else December 12, 2006

This charging cradle works as it should for the Sonos Controller, but it is very overpriced, considering that all you get are two pieces of plastic. An adapter is not even included, as you use the adapter that came with the controller. A functional product, but worth perhaps 1/10 of the price. Good news is that it comes for free with the ZP80 bundle here on Amazon and for free with both ZP80 and ZP100 bundles direct from Sonos.
 Worth having, but I wish they weren't so greedy October 28, 2007

All this does is hold the Sonos controller you already have and feed it electricity from the Sonos charger you already have. It's "worth" the price for the convenience, because not having one is inconvenient (more on that below), but there's no way that this convenience should have a $50 price tag. It's a classic case of charging your customers what they're willing to pay, not what something cost to produce, which is good business but just smacks of greediness when the rest of the Sonos system is so high class.
I thought I'd just get by without the charging cradle, but:
- the socket on the controller where you have to plug in the charging wire is hidden behind a little flap of rubber which is finicky about opening; it's more work to charge the Sonos controller, without the cradle, than any other rechargeable thingy I have (iPod, cell phone, etc). So, the cradle is more necessary for the Sonos than these other devices, in my opinion.
- if you leave the controller unplugged from the charger for too long (not sure exactly how long, more than a few hours, less than a day) then it goes into a low-power standby mode to save the battery, and it takes a long time to wake up from standby.
So the upshot is if you have the cradle, the controller behaves beautifully -- set it in the cradle when you're not using it, and it's always charged and instantly ready for use. If you don't have the cradle, you're stuck carefully prying the rubber port cover out of the way and plugging in the charger, and if you're ever too lazy to do this, you'll have to wait for the controller to wake up the next time you use it. The cradle saves me 30 seconds multiple times a day, so it's worth it, but I'm still annoyed I had to expend this much money and analysis over something so simple.

They dont even include a AC transformer for 50.00 This should be included with the bundles.. This scars an other wise near perfect product.
 Just as Promised March 19, 2007
If you already own a Sonos player you are well aware how excellent the product is. This Charging cradle is just as promised, nothing more, nothing less. The controller is just as sleek as the units and it just a plug in and use. Still a bit expensive for a cradle but sits by the bedside beautifully and allowing you to view what is playing.
Nice! November 25, 2007
If you have the Sonos system, you need this. Way easier than plugging the controller in every time.
