By Father’s Day is coming up (June 19th) and there is at least one dad in your life that absolutely rocks. This year, thanks to our friends from SONOS, we’re helping one lucky reader give the dad in their life the ultimate Father’s Day gift… $1,296 in SONOS equipment that (like them) absolutely rocks. Don’t know what SONOS is? Watch the video below right now and you’ll thank me later:
My full review of SONOS will come early next week but I’ve been testing the system for over a month and trust me- it’s awesome. It only takes a few minutes to setup: connect one box to your modem, load the software on your computer, put SONOS speakers in the rooms you want to experience musical nirvana and you’re good to go. All of a sudden you’ve got instant access to tons of radio stations, the full music library on your computer (including iTunes), bundles of free and premium streaming radio services like Last.FM and Pandora and a whole lot more.
Did we mention you can control it all directly from your Android Phone? And with three S5s you’ll be able to control music in three different rooms! Stay tuned for the full review – but I know – right now you just want to know the contest details!
The winner will receive:
- (3) Sonos S5s valued at $399/each
- (1) Sonos ZoneBridge valued at $99
- Total value of prizes: $1,296!

Maybe your father is the hard-working super dad that seems to be everywhere at once. Or maybe it’s your husband, who is everywhere at once and still has time for the “Honeydo List”. Or maybe it’s your grandfather who seems to have accomplished all that while walking barefoot, uphill in the snow both ways to somewhere of massive importance (or so he says)?
You guys should have contests that don’t involve twitter. Not everyone has it.
Check again – you can enter by posting in AndroidForums.com, instructions above.
Thanks EarlyMon I didnt catch that. And what the hell is a twitter?.. These kids these days and their damn toys..
Not all our contests use twitter. We try to mix it up. You’re free to sign up for a free twitter account and enter- it takes less than a minute. That being said, I’ll keep your comment in mind and next time we’ll go with something besides twitter.
I think ones outside the North America
Who doesn’t have Twitter? I mean, seriously? If you have an internet connection and have access to free media (you must have or you wouldn’t be reading this site), you have access to Twitter.
Twitter is something I stay FAR FAR away from. Its one of the absolutely worst things Ive seen. While it does have its benefits, Ive just seen it breed stupidity.
Lie.
I can’t tell – do we have to do both the tweet AND the forum post, or just one or the other?
Seems like both to me which would make EarlyMon’s statement incorrect.
You’ve got to do both Jeremy. Tweet and then head off to the forum and post a picture and a link to your tweet. Hope that clears it up and goodluck!
“5 Finalists will be selected at random (finalists must meet all entry criteria)”
Must tweet AND post on AF. Sorry :(

<— cries in the corner…… wonder if i can convince my daughter to sign up to twitter
How do i get the url to my tweet?
There should be a bit that says something like “Posted 7 hours ago” or whatever. If you click that it will take you to a separate page for just that TWEET and you can use the URL from there”
that is alot easier than how I did it… I right clicked and hit view source and typed in the number… yours is much easier
Nice contest :)
You should pick me, okay? :D
You forgot the step to like phandroid in facebook, and donate my first born. What’s next, place my own commercial on tv about this content in order to enter…
Why does every contest use twitter not everyone uses it. I actually think its silly guess im not a good dad
Ok… just sent to my son and daughter. She’s a HUGE music nut… thanks to dad ;-P
And my son has Facebook, but not Twitter. C’mon, rugrats… pull through for dad! This would sound awesome in my townhouse!
Don’t understand how you can require someone to be a member of Tweeter or what ever it is to enter a contest. I don’t use it and probably never will
