Great sound quality
Seamless setup and usability

The Sonos One integrates full-fledged Alexa voice control
Just like an Amazon Echo speaker but with better sound quality. It offers most of Alexa's smart home controls and its far-field microphone performs similarly to an Echo. The Sonos One works seamle

The editors didn't like
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
Abstract: Earlier in October, Sonos announced its new smart speaker device, called the Sonos One, which will launch On October 24 with support for Amazon's Alexa voice assistant. The Sonos One allows users to control the speaker entirely through voice, providing sm...
Great sound in a compact package, Powerful voice-recognition capabilties, Fantastic Alexa integration, with Google Assistant and Apple AirPlay 2 compatibility promised
You can't use voice commands to stream music from your own local server, You can use voice commands with only a handful of the 80+ streaming services Sonos supports, You can't disable the LED that glows when the mic is on, nor the tone that sounds when yo
Sonos has even better-sounding speakers in its lineup, but this one sounds great and it lets you control any Sonos speaker with voice commands (and the rest of your smart home, too)...

Unless you find the drawbacks I've described to be deal breakers, the Sonos One is a no brainer. That goes double for anyone who already owns Sonos components, and triple for Amazon Echo users. We'll have to wait and see if Sonos executes as expertly with...

Fits smoothly into an existing Sonos system, Assistant-agnostic means you won't be locked in, Sound quality belies the size and price, Controlling whole-home music by voice is transformational, All the usual Alexa skills
Some configuration stumbles, An Echo Dot is cheaper, No Spotify voice control yet
Viewed in isolation, the Sonos One is a great little music player. Aesthetically pleasing, it sounds, quite honestly, far better than a $199 speaker has any right to. It slips right into a larger Sonos installation with barely a ripple: ease of use, after...

Abstract: With the introduction of voice controlled speakers like Amazon Echo, Google Home, and the forthcoming HomePod, speaker company Sonos went from being a leader in offering the most cutting-edge speaker features to lacking a component that's become par for t...
The good news is Sonos is taking a remarkably open approach to the category by supporting any voice assistant and music service willing to participate. And if you're already deep in the Sonos ecosystem, adding Alexa only enables new ways to interact with...

Excellent sound quality,Nice, compact design,Alexa and Google Assistant built-in,Lots of streaming options,
Bass could be deeper, No Bluetooth,
The Sonos One is a small speaker with refined and crowd-pleasing audio quality, in a nicely designed shell. That it's also one of the most versatile smart speakers on the planet is the icing on the cake, especially with all the other great streaming suppo...

Still the best user experience, Good service support,
Individual speakers can be trumped for sound, No hi-res support,
While we still hope that Sonos has a change of heart and adds hi-res support in the near future, we don't believe its absence is a deal-breaker.But if you do, you should look at what Bluesound offers. Those looking for a simpler, cheaper and better-soundi...
Superb sound quality, Dead-simple setup, Super easy to use, Excellent Alexa integration, Priced well
No threaded insert for mounting, No Bluetooth streaming
Yes. If you want all the convenience of Alexa (and Google Assistant coming soon), along with Sonos' intuitive system and excellent sound quality, the Sonos One remains one of the best you can get...
Great design, Excellent sound quality, Brilliant Alexa integration with Google Assistant coming soon too, Voice control, Seamless multi-room audio, Compatible with over 80+ music services, Easy setup
Voice control for many music services like Apple Music not as comprehensive as Amazon Music or Spotify yet, Expensive compared to other smart speakers, No Alexa calling compatibility
The Sonos One is a small but mighty little speaker. It delivers a premium, solid design, just as you would expect from a Sonos device, but it couples its good looks with smarts too, living up to that "smart speaker for music lovers" tagline.It has some se...
