Wonderfully robust and detailed sound and moves from one room to another with ease.

These Sonos speakers are so easy to set up with ARC Bar & have great sound!

Won't connect to wifi and is seriously the worst thing I've bought in a very long time

I have two Sonos Beams and the older version of the Sonos Connect. What I love about the Beams is the AirPlay 2 functionality. So, when I saw that the new SL got the same AirPlay 2 functionality built-in, I knew I needed to add it to my system. There's no need to go into the Sonos app if you have an iDevice b/c AirPlay 2 works so well. Though the Sonos app is nice, I prefer just going into the Apple Music app and AirPlaying to the Beams and, now, the SL. If you're a heavy AirPlay 2 user, the SL will work great for you. The sound is great, as to be expected. I don't use the built in voice services, so I won't comment on that. All in all, very happy with the SL.

Sonos One SL will not connect to other Sonos devices. I regretted buying this Sonos one SL

Tried setting jt up. Requires a monthly subscription to listen to music in High Def

First off, this speaker sounds terrific. It has solid bass and crisp, clear highs. Noticeably better than my Amazon Echo devices. My disappointment comes from the fact that it doesn’t have the ability to connect via Bluetooth or direct line-in/headphone jack. One way I had hoped to use it was for work events that take place on the outside of the building. They happen close enough for an extension cord, but not within range of the WiFi. Additionally, it has a tendency to drop the network connection, a fact I find unforgivable in a device that is made for the sole purpose of playing music via WiFi connection. If you’re only going to do one thing, at least do that one thing well. It does have an Ethernet port, so you may not have a connection issue if you plan to use it in the same room as your router. Bottom line, this speaker is a one-trick pony that doesn’t do its one trick very reliably.

Returned, did not meet our expectations, the sound quality was low

I hate these speakers. The Alexa feature never works but I guess that means she can’t hear when I curse her lol.

Outstanding quality. Very easy setup. Selecting music and volume controls worked flawlessly. Would recommend to anyone looking for wireless speakers.

Terrible connectivity to wifi, my old play ones are easier to set up

company tried to sell me software i didn't want or need. wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

Excellent speakers. Love the sound and the bass nice.

Great sounding speakers I have them throughout my house. Only issue is the new Sonos app is awful, had to get app support to help set up new speakers when old app was great and simple to use.

It was excellent. Great quality easy to set up on

Doesn’t work and can’t figure out how to make it work

I wanted to love the Sonos SL but the way the bass cuts off is a huge bummer.The Sonos SL has some very clean sound and gets louder than you'd need it to but the bass just can't keep up, and it's not because it can't. The first song I played was "I Ain't No Joke," classic Eric B & Rakim. Boooom Boom-Boom-Boom Boom Boom-Boom Boom Boom-Boom. Very nice! Deep bass, clear mids and highs. At this point I'm happy. So I turn it up to 50% Still sounding good. The bass tapered off a little but I understand because you can't expect too much from a small woofer. Then I turned it up more... Bip Bip-bip-bip bip ... Darn! Did I blow the speakers already. I hurried to turn it down and see if I broke the speakers. Dropped it below 50% and Boom was back, it eased back in so it seems to be software controlled. Raised it up and it drops suddenly to almost a clipped bass. The higher mid-bass freqs were fine but the lower just cut completely out. After fiddling a bit I set the maximum level to see if I can find where the drop off happens. It seems it's at 56%. At that level the low base just disappears. If you go to the EQ you can lower the base by -2 and it comes back. You'd expect that at 55% volume that the bass would just stop increasing and let the others continue to climb. You'd get at least some of the near sub frequencies, but as it is you get none unless you tweak the EQ LOWER to increase the bass. Odd they chose to do it this way. The sound is clear up until the highest levels where it just has a bit of distortion, but not overly distorted. I mean... it's good, but still, what happened to the bass?? I didn't do research before I got the Sonos SL an assumed you could use bluetooth as well as wifi & ethernet. Wrong assumption. I was kinda upset as the first music service I used was YTM. Using YTM through the Sonos app doesn't allow radio or continue with other random songs when you pick one song. YTM support seems rather new so there's time to grow on that. I found GPM and Spotify to work through the individual apps fine by playing through the Sonos. Mostly I won't use the Sonos app since no radio, but making a playlist from multiple services is a nifty feature. One thing I almost forgot to do (OK I forgot until after I cussed out the app) was that I need to turn of cell internet when connecting to an AdHoc wifi that has no internet connection. I have a Samsung S10+ and I have it set to connect to wireless when wifi internet is weak. So I kept failing to finish set up until I noticed the 4g icon showing up on my phone during set up. The Sonos SL has some pretty clean sound and using your network instead of bluetooth should allow you to play higher bitrate music cleaner. But the bass at over 56% is a bummer for me. Now listening over 56% is gonna be a rare thing but just knowing that drop off is just waiting there is a big downer.

These are the best speakers I've ever bought. I tried the Play 1 but couldn't justify the purchase without AirPlay support. The only difference between this and the Sonos One seems to be the lack of a microphone and Alexa features, which has never been something I've been interested in anyway. The system is not cheap, and they can be addicting! I bought one speaker and thought I'd like to buy more! For every room, maybe even more than one!

Sonos speakers have held up well for many years and the app and software are great allowing you to play almost anything through your speakers. Bluetooth is for mobile and Sonos wifi connection very solid with modern router. For those attempting to limit the number of microphones in you house the SL is a great option. Spend a few minutes creating playlists and you will not miss the voice command

Sonos are arguably the best speakers. I am very impressed with the quality of the sound
