While some find the price point to be high, many appreciate the lack of a microphone for privacy reasons. The speaker's compatibility with other devices and its sleek design are also frequently cited as positive aspects.

More forced obsolescence
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Doesn’t work with the original Sonos system which means you either have to buy all new equipment or none at all.

Not Worth It
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upon purchase I was told this speaker was bluetooth compatible. When I got home I realized it's not, you have to have AirPlay or another app to use it. When I tried to return it I was told I could not. FAIL.

Posted .Hi, and thank you for taking the time to review our product. We're very sorry you were given misinformation as our product (except Move) do not have bluetooth. The reason is that benefits of wifi include no loss of battery life due to streaming as the phone is not the source, but just a controller. No cut outs with music because of notifications. No distance issues. As long as your wifi reaches, that's all you need. As well as higher quality streaming! We hope that you'll give it another chance, as it's really an incredible experience. As far as not being able to return, we do apologize for this However we have no control over Best Buy's policies. We hope you'll reconsider your rating if you end up enjoying your Sonos One SL. :)

Open Box sold as "Excellent" but it was not
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sonos speaker is fine. However, the was an open box in "Excellent" condition. Having ordered such products before from Best Buy, that means that the product should be in new condition, the packaging should be intact and everything should be there. That was not the case with this order. I would say the condition was "Satisfactory" at best. It was filthy and had clearly been used for some time. It was configured for another network and had to be reset. The box was a disaster. Again, the speaker works fine, but Best Buy mis-represented the condition by more than a bit.

Posted .Hi, and thank you for your review. We would love if you would consider rescoring this review as it's intended on your experience with our products. These reviews do not effect Best Buy in any way and will probably not even be seen by them. We monitor these reviews to help with issues, see trends, ext with the products themselves. Either way, thank you for the review and we hope you continue to enjoy your One SL!

Fine surrounds to the Arc, not much by themselves
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Used for surrounds with the Arc they are fine. As stand alone book shelf speakers they are only ok. You can get as much or better sound quality for far less money.

Speaker
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Would have been nice to know the new speaker install would negate my speaker 5. I wouldn't have bought this speaker if I had known this prior to purchase.

Nice Wireless Speaker
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great sounding, small wireless speaker. I was looking for a wireless speaker that I could plug in and connect to in my office. I did not want a portable speaker that would need to be charged periodically, as I just want to leave it plugged in and be able to easily connect whenever I want to listen to it. I also did not need or want to control it with a voice assistant. This speaker fits exactly what I was looking for. I like the Sonos speakers, as I believe their sound is better than most speakers in this size range. After testing it out with a variety of music genres, I am very happy with the sound. It sounds great and has nice balance when listening to all music types at a low or medium level. It will be perfect in my office. However, if you are one who wants to crank your music to full volume and likes a heavy bass thud, this might not be the best option. I tested it out at full volume and found it became a bit distorted on tracks with heavy bass. It's just not a big enough speaker to crank to full volume and expect to get the type of sound you would get if running a large speaker with a subwoofer. I wasn't expecting that and needed something to play at reasonable volumes, so this works great for me. I still think the sound at full volume is better than you would find with most speakers in this size range. This speaker does allow you to pair it with additional Sonos speakers for full stereo sound. I suspect this may allow you to crank it to louder volumes and improve the sound also, but I am just using it as a stand-alone, so was not able to test that. It also lets you pair it with other Sonos speakers to play in multiple rooms at the same time. The speaker was easy to set up. You just download the free Sonos Controller App and connect your speaker to your Wifi network to get started. It will walk you through all the steps. It has a cool tuning feature, where you set your speaker where you want it in the room and use your phone to basically register a test sound all around your room, so the speaker can tune itself and optimize its sound for the room and position the speaker is in within the room. Pretty cool! The App has a bunch of neat features also. You can connect any streaming service you use through the App. It also connects to a large variety of radio stations that are all free, which was a real nice surprise. You can use the App to control what you listen to, volume, etc. It will also connect to your iPhone using Apple AirPlay 2. This is a great feature for playing songs that are already downloaded to your phone. It basically ends up working like Bluetooth. You just click on the Apple Airplay button on your iPhone and you can instantly play music from your library, control volume with your phone volume buttons,. etc. This is a nice feature for iPhone or iPad users, but would not be available for Android phones. For Android users, you would always use the Sonos App to play your music so you would need to be using this in a place where you have a Wifi connection for your phone and the speaker. Overall this will end up being a great speaker for use in my office. It has a sleek look and the sound is great, plus it gives me access to a lot of radio channels I did not have access to before. If you are looking for a speaker you can play at very loud volumes or need a heavy bass sound or have a very large room, then you may want to consider trying to pair it with multiple Sonos speakers, as a single one may not get you the volume you are looking for.

Would not recommend.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While watching TV you can only hear music not dialogue.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Sonos Customer Care
Posted .Hello Gary,
I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing difficulty with dialogue clarity while watching TV through your Sonos system. This issue could be related to the audio settings or configuration of your Sonos system.
To improve dialogue clarity, I recommend trying the following troubleshooting steps:
Audio Settings: Check the audio settings on your TV or streaming device. Make sure that any audio enhancement features, such as surround sound or dynamic range compression, are disabled. These features can sometimes affect dialogue clarity.
Sonos App Settings: In the Sonos app, navigate to the settings for your Sonos home theater system. Adjust the "Speech Enhancement" setting to increase the clarity of dialogue. This feature is specifically designed to enhance dialogue without affecting other audio elements.
Placement of Speakers: Ensure that your Sonos speakers, including the center speaker if you have one, are properly positioned and aimed toward the primary seating area. This can help improve the localization of dialogue.
Volume Balance: Check the volume balance between the center channel speaker (if applicable) and the other speakers in your Sonos system. Increasing the volume of the center channel can help make dialogue more prominent.
TV Sound Settings: Some TVs have specific sound settings related to dialogue enhancement or clear voice. Check your TV's sound settings menu to see if there are any options that can improve dialogue clarity.
If you continue to experience issues after trying these steps, please feel free to reach out to our support team for further assistance. We're here to help ensure that you get the best possible audio experience with your Sonos system.
