I have 2x Sonos Play:1s, 2x Play:3s, 2x Connects (hooked to my surround sound and garden stereo setups).
Pros:
Simple setup
Ability to use Sonos BOOST - a separate WiFi signal which will not hamper your home network - if needed, or hard wire via Ethernet (all except Play:1s)
Can control from phone/tablet - does not need to be same one - or PC/Mac
Trueplay tuning
Cheaper than BOSE
More online music options than BOSE
DLNA compliant
Handles more music formats than BOSE
Regular firmware/software updates which add more services/functions
Cons:
I personally have none, but you may consider-
No bluetooth capability
No separate remote
I note the BOSE is not DLNA compliant, so it may not read from a NAS - their own literature states "SoundTouch® systems are compatible with select NAS drives"
Neither are directly compatible with Apple Airplay, but the Sonos does have a workaround available
I would go for Sonos every time.
