I have dozens of voice control devices and this is by far the easiest to set up because Google and Alexa are built-in. Sound is great. But permafrost carbon

This was my 5th Sonos product. I continue to be impressed with the great sound, quality and ease of set up. With the Sonos App I can link this to my other speakers and move it to a different room. Highly recommended.

very nice sound, easy to hook to my phone, stereo and smart tv. Love listening to Spotify anywhere now. Great to move it between rooms or outside and sync multiple speakers to play the same music in the whole house

I bought two of these for rear speakers in my sonos surround setup. It turns out that the voice assistant component is turned off when paired in surround sound. I could have saved some money and bought the version without voice assistant, but they are great speakers for filling in the surround sound.

These speakers are wonderful. Listen to your own music, stream music, either way these speakers give great, clear sound that fills the room. So easy to set up, too. I would definitely recommend them to friends.

Love the speaker. Sounds great. However, I got a pair to hook up with my sound bar and the voice assistant is not needed. Get the ones without the voice assistant if using for surround sound.

Easy setup and decent sound. Definitely fills the room with sound but lacks just a bit on bass. This is understandable due to the size but the reviews online make it seem like it was the best thing since the discovery of the wheel. I still think it's worth it when compared to the Bose speaker of similar size due to the price difference and ease of use.

So easy to set up, I love these speakers I have several pair and speakers in almost every room in the house. They sound great, and having the Alexa voice App. built in makes it so easy to operate.

Sonos speakers are excellent. We added this Sonos one to our setup and are happy with it. The sound quality seems to be slightly better than our older play one’s. We also use Alexa and that function works well.

Great sound comes in a small package!
Coming from a household of Bose speakers, this baby rivals the best of them! I haven't used the smart speaker with voice control, but just streaming my Sirius, Pandora and Spotify has been a breeze. There is a deep and full sound that comes from this speaker. We have one Sonos speaker in a warehouse at my work, and I was immediately impressed. I bought one for an outside bar/game room, and that one speaker eliminated the need for a full surround sound system. This latest Sonos speaker is in our living room on a side table and is quickly becoming my go-to for music streaming daily!
I will replace our sound bar with a Sonos system in the very near future.
Buy this.

Sonos build quality seems to be on point and packaged neatly (all this isn’t a performance attribute, but at least you know there’s a level of attention to detail right off).
Set up is generally pretty easy if you down load the app and follow the prompts (of note; if you are setting up a speaker wireless, ensure that you are setting it up on the same wife network channel. If you have a two channel router that has a 2.4ghz and 5ghz network make sure the device you are using is on one of those, the ensure the speaker is on the same one).
Sound quality is like many things down to personal taste. Listening to classical, jazz and acoustic music the sing along very nice and cleanly they aren’t bass heavy and as the volume comes up the bass fades further (begging you to add the Sonos Sub). The production of mods and highs will keep most listeners happy in most living conditions.
When paired as a stereo set, the experience is doubly good.
If wanting to use in stereo paired to say an appleTV, it can be done using the airplay2 feature and will sound better than plain tv speakers, but bandwidth drops off fast and then sound glitches. To this add any of the Sonos sound bars if planning to use for tv.

I purchased these as rear surround for my PlayBase 5.1 setup. I was blown away by how easy the setup was and how good these sound.
It is addicting now because I want more for every room! I love the fact that you can add more and more to build out an entire home sound system!
If I had to think of any Cons to this product, it would be that it does not support either Bluetooth or a physical connection via Aux cord. My reasoning is that if the WiFi were to go down for some period of time, the speakers become useless paperweights until the WiFi is back up.
Overall I would highly recommend if your home network can sustain a consistently stable network. I also recommend hard wiring one Sonos product for the best network results.

Sonos is famous for their high quality and this speaker shows it. The main difference between Sonos ONE and ONE SL is that ONE comes with Alexa built in. Right out of the box, the sound is pretty good, but depending of the room and place you put the speaker, the acoustic of that area can make the sound to be "not optimal". Don't worry, the sound can be fine-tuned for wherever you place the speaker. For that you need to download the SONOS app in you iPhone or iPad and use TRUEPLAY (not available in the SONOS app for Android). In my case, the sound improved a lot after I used trueplay. Overall, I'm impressed with the sound and the quality.
