The editors didn't like
Unlike Bluetooth speakers
The Sonos system can't stream from every app on your phone or tablet -- so there's no support for iTunes Radio
For instance. The lack of a built-in battery limits room-to-room mobility
Light on bass
$299
Requires AC power (no battery)
No 3.5mm audio jack
Midrange can become muddy
Quite heavy
Living rooms will want two
Sonos app can feel limiting
Setup could be easier
Can't stream to the speaker
No battery included in the unit
Requires the Sonos Bridge
Which means first time buyers can't just spend the initial price to gain access into the Sonos system
Wonderful sound, easy setup, great interface, terrific value,
No Bluetooth or Line In
The Sonos PLAY:1 is the best $200 you'll spend on music this year. Great sound quality, impeccable design, and a wonderful user experience...

Abstract: The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are both strong phones, but they’re not quite complete. While you can dunk them, you shouldn’t really drop them, so you’ll need a good case. And because they don’t come with a headphone jack, these handsets are begging for w...
Having tested a sizable sample, I can say that many entry-level wireless speakers deliver surprisingly potent sound-especially given their small footprint. There were differences among the models in this roundup, but overall I'd say that most manufacturer...

Abstract: This is a review I didn't want to write. I've been putting it off for the past month. Why? Because the Sonos PLAY:1 is awesome, and once this post goes live, a lucky MakeUseOf reader will win the two I was sent to play with.The PLAY:1 is the entry level m...

Until recently, SONOS was the only audio streaming game in town, but in the last 12 months competition has exploded. There are now cheaper streaming solutions available on the market today. However, SONOS speakers offer fantastic sound quality with...
The Sonos Play:1 has good sound for a small speaker. The control app is easy to use. Adding additional speakers to your Sonos system is fairly easy
The Sonos Play1 isn't as expensive as the Play3 or Play5, but with an MSRP of $199, it could be too expensive for some. Wireless use may require the purchase of additional equipment,
The Sonos Play:1 hits all the correct notes. It looks good, sounds good, is easy to setup and has an attractive price. Audiophiles won't be impressed, but 99% of casual listeners will love it. The flexibility of adding more speakers to the Sonos system me...
