Great sound quality
Seamless setup and usability

No official smart speaker functionality at launch in Australia
Voice controls for music are quite limited right now
Microphones can be hit and miss when you're playing music loud
The One costs twice as much as the new Echo. It cannot form a stereo pair with an existing Sonos Play
1. There's no Spotify voice control or Alexa Calling at launch
And Google Assistant and AirPlay 2 support won't arrive until 2018. It doesn't work how y
The Sonos One is going to get a lot of comparisons to the Echo and Echo Plus from Amazon, which are also cheaper. But the main thing to keep in mind here is that the Sonos One is a great speaker first, and Alexa comes second. While the Echo lineup is more...

Sound quality, Easy to get connected, Microphones do good job at picking up voice
Convoluted setup process, Bass is a little much, No Spotify/Apple Music voice support at launch
Though the Sonos One is currently limited to only Alexa, thats sure to change with future updates promising Airplay and Google Assistant compatibility. For now it's an annoying hurdle but once it gets fixed, this could be the speaker to beat...

Superb sound for its size, Alexa works great thanks to a 6 microphone array with noise cancellation Redesigned Sonos app is cleaner and more intuitive to navigate, New touchscreen controls are neat, Support for Siri and Google Assistant is on the way
Spotify support is not available yet, but it's coming soon, Not all of Alexa's skills are enabled yet but software updates will address this, We would like to see the ability to pair a Sonos One with a PLAY:1 in stereo mode
The Sonos One represents the next step for Alexa and voice control. To that effect, instead of voice control technology coming first and sonics coming second, the Sonos One offers the perfect marriage of beautiful audio with voice control technologies. An...
As a speaker, Sonos One is pretty great. And it should be — it's basically a Play:1, which is where I'd point anyone looking to get into that ecosystem.There's lots of potential here, but it'll take time for that to play out.As a smart speaker, Sonos One...

Excellent audio quality, Comprehensive Sonos app, Lets you control lots of music sources, Can pair more speakers for whole-house audio, Works with Alexa and Google Assistant
Can't make calls using either Alexa or Google Assistant, Alexa drop-in not supported
Even without Alexa, Sonos’ speakers would be great for delivering music into every corner of your house. Not only do they sound awesome, but you can customize their audio profiles to whatever room they’re in, and you can stream music from dozens of source...
Excellent audio quality for the price, First Sonos to let you control your music with your voice, Attractive, inconspicuous design, Works with just about every music service you can use, Alexa integrations works almost exactly the same here as on the Echo
Voice commands only have full functionality with a few music services, Spotify voice commands not available at launch (but coming later this year), Voice commands are sometimes a little buggy, Setup process is a bit complicated
The Play:1 has been Sonos' best-selling speaker, and with good reason. It offers significantly better music quality than your average Bluetooth or smart speaker, at a reasonable price. It's also a great first step into a multi-speaker setup for your home...
