Best praise vs top criticism for Mode Sonnet
Best Praise
+165 pts“Designer of the Sonnet PCB here. The connector pads were designed to be fixable once this happens, which seems like your case -- seems very easy to solder in.”

+18 pts“I have owned two Sonnets and one Envoy at this point, and I have built two Envoy's for family members. Currently, their stuff is a bit over-priced in my opinion. They are very basic, but that can be a good thing for some people. The customization options are really nice, but the other materials can be extremely expensive. The Sonnet really needs either a Copper/Brass Weight Bottom to sound decent, but it is incredibly expensive to add on those parts. If you can find one at a good price on the secondary market, go for it; otherwise, I would not spend the money to buy directly from Mode in my personal opinion.”
