One (Gen 2) - The powerful Smart Speaker with Amazon Alexa Built-in, White

I bought this because I wanted a speaker that could handle Airplay2 - something that’s relatively rare among speakers. I’ve never known any device so easy and intuitive to set up. Download the app and it pretty much does the rest for you, even joining the WiFi without having to type in your wireless key. I was up and rolling in five minutes. I’m blown away by the volume and sound quality of such a small speaker. Its integration with Airplay is seamless, and while I wasn’t really keen on getting an Alexa speaker I am very pleased with how it responds - particularly playing radio stations. I think the price is steep compared to other speakers in its market but overall given it does absolutely everything I need it to and flawlessly so, I’m happy.

I have 4 Sonos 5 speakers throughout my property. It is a fantastic system, we have 2 paired in the lounge for watching films, which is like a surround sound, we don't have a TV, so this is very important to us. This new Sonos 1 speaker is for my kitchen, it has finished off the sound system now. What a lovely clean white the speaker is. The sound as always is superb. It is so easy to use & the set up is so simple a 3yr old could do it!! I don't understand anyone having issues with the setting up of the product. If you have the Sonos app, you just follow the instructions in the booklet, & it practically does it by itself, it really is that simple, so don't be put off by negative people, it is not the Sonos!! I would recommend this system to anyone, obviously the only possible problem is if your WiFi goes down, so always wise to have another source of radio etc in the cupboard. Having said that, I have hardly ever had this issue. I love my Sonos & listen to it constantly throughout the day. If you want a treat, buy Sonos, you won't regret it. Enjoy.

Using it with Apple HomeKit - works perfectly - no Siri functionality but you can use it with Siri on HomePod or Apple TV. Ideal option if you want to extend your existing HomePod to multi-room experience at a great price. There is simply not many speakers with good Airplay 2 comparability at the moment or are very expensive. Once added to HomeKit the Sonos shows itself in Airplay menu on your iOS devices with multi-select option available (if you have other Airplay 2 devices). You can also use it Standalone or with Alexa via Sonos app (I did not enabled Alexa though). Sound is great but not as good as Apple HomePod (which is an of course an expensive option).

I absolutely love this had a Bose cd/radio for years but it broke so my children said to get into the 21st century & bought me this for my birthday as I love my music it lifts my spirit and is good for my mental health I must admit I’m not tech knowledgeable so I couldn’t have set it up myself my son-in-law did it for me it’s connected to my Amazon prime Alexa which I didn’t know I had with being a prime member the kids told me then to my phone & am so pleased I can work it myself now… the grandkids laugh at me though cause I say please & thank you to Alexa when I ask for something and have been known to have an argument with Alexa when she doesn’t get it right! 🤣🤣🤣

I bought this for our kitchen after a fair amount of research. We're a split iPhone / Android household and bluetooth can be problematic (generally on the Apple side). This has the advantage of airplay which is perfect for the Apple devices, they can basically stream from most music apps directly. Lacking bluetooth does bring limitations on the android side, as you can only use the Sonos app itself. That brings some limitations around the integrations with other music apps. In Deezer, for example, you can't scrub (fast forward within a track) when playing a mix, but you can when playing a single track or album. In BBC sounds you easily play a station, but you can't access the station schedule to play a previous programme, for example. Voice commands for BBC sounds are also not available while using the Sonos voice assistant or Google assistant, and we refuse to use Alexa having been frustrated too many times by her ineptitude. All in all it's the best compromise for us and I'd recommend, but be aware the system is not without it's limitations, particularly for Android users. You're also paying a premium for a brand badge and some of the accessories (like the box that plugs into an existing HiFi) are insanely overpriced for what they are.

Writing this review after 6 months if use and now I'm very happy with it. I know it's subjective, but for me this is the best sounding speaker at this price point. Initially it would not work with audible via Alexa, only via the Sonos app. This was a known bug which took Sonos support a long time to fix but is now working great.

I bought the Sonos after trying an Echo Studio. The Studio had a strong and engaging sound but it was too wild and woolly for me, the lack of clarity being the main issue. To my ears the Sonos has a much clearer and more detailed sound whilst still having plenty of bass. It has a sound that draws you in and makes you want to listen more. I thought that the lack of bluetooth would be a big drawback but in fact it works well from Alexa, Apple airplay, and the Amazon Music, Spotify and Sonos apps. I have also tried it against my stereo pair of Echos generation 3. Whilst the Echos gain from the stereo they are outclassed by the quality of the Sonos sound. No doubt a pair of Sonos would be good but a single one is conveniently portable around the house ( though it does need to be plugged in!)

I was looking for a small smart speaker for my office. I couldn't decide for a long time which speaker I want to buy. First option was a HomePod, because Apple is my love brand and second option was like try something new from other brands. I chose the Sonos One, and I can highly recommended . I'm very surprised how loud is the sound from the small speaker like that. I’m extremely happy with it because the sound is fantastic also I love this clear design. Really easy to use with Alexa, you can turn on your lights or vacuum robot only by you voice, I love it.

Wie beschrieben , funktioniert einwandfrei 👍

I was thinking to get additional echo for multi-room music playback and saw this speaker, it seems to promise better music playback experience so I gave it a try. With that in mind I bought two of them and made a stereo pair. What I love about this speaker: - Easy to setup via the iPhone app - Great improvement on music playback, definitely much better than echo / echo dot - Features that allows you to adjust the base/treble, tuning for Trueplay - Flexibility to add on other Sonos products, in fact I bought a Beam and Sub Gen 3 after trying this speaker - Airplay / Sonos streaming that can be recognised by Roon What I didn't expect: - Multi-room playback cannot work with echo, basically they are two different system This was not my initial purpose but the music experience changed my mind and I decided to keep this and build the Sonos system for living room, no regret on that.

كنت محتار بين هذا الإصدار و إيكيا symfonisk لربطها مع سونوس بيم جودة البناء و والميكرفون والتفوق البسيط للصوت كان لصالح هذا الإصدار مع أن السعر يصل إلى الضعف إلا أن وكيل إيكيا هنا لم يطل الحيرة بسبب السعر الي كان مقارب لإصدار one علاوة على عدم توفر الإصدار الجديد تطبيق سونوس يتيح ربط مكبرات الصوت مع خيار مستقل لكل مصدر حسب توزيع السماعات وموقع السماعة تم ربطها مع سونوس بيم وكانت تجربة صوتية مثالية مؤخرا تم تحديث التطبيق وأضافت سونوس التحكم الصوتي لتشغيل الموسيقى عن طريق الأوامر الصوتية واستجابة التحكم سريعة سعر جيد مقابل الأداء اجمالا اعتبرها تجربة رائعة

الصوت استريو قوي وجبار لكن هناك بعض العيوب اولاً ثقل السماعة ثاني عيب انها سلكية والسلك بالاسفل مما يجعل المكبر غير ثايت ومستقيم وثالث شيء التزامن مع جهاز الايفون ليس سهلا فيه بعض الصعوبة وكل مرة اريد الاتصال بالمبكر اعاود المزامنة وباخذ وقت اضطريت ارجعها مع انها ممتازة كصوت ونقاوة

Packaging was good for protection and delivery was quick, within 2 days. Seldom have any doubts on delivery service with Amazon anyway. The speaker was really awesome with the strong bass and loud enough to fill the room. I placed it in the living room and can generally hear around the house (subjective I believe). Setting up was really simple and quick, pairing with wifi through the app. Spotify works well and can also easily locate the speaker. Love it!!
