Sonos - One (Gen 2) Smart Speaker with Voice Control built-in - White

I tried a more expensive speaker first. It was ok, but my friend suggested using two Sonos one speakers w the Sonos sub. I have used Ones as a single speaker to have an easy way to get tunes in a room. But add the sub and these turn into a high end setup. They do something with snare drums and guitar that gets buried in the mix on other speakers. Very happy.

Have used Sonos speakers and Sonos Connects to A/V amplifiers for several years. Recently purchased the Sonos One to control various connected smarthome items, especially bathroom lighting, overhead bathroom heater, and house thermostat. Speech recognition is excellent, using normal speaking volume. Connected to Google Home and synced with WINK Hub so that we can control switches and/or plugs that do not directly connect to Google Home/Assistant. (Note: in the pic that is a recessed light above the Sonos, not the Sonos indicator light)

I tried different smart speakers for a total surround experience in my home and found that for the price and quality Sonos was hands down, the best choice.

Sonos in general is the best speakers brand you can buy. Either the one or the five are amazing speakers.

I have been interested in investing in a smart whole home audio system and was recommended by a friend towards Sonos. I cant tell you how impressed I am with these speakers! I purchased two Sonos Ones as I have heard them in stereo pair and they sound great. I have this pair currently in my office and use them to jam out during work. After using the TruePlay tuning (a must in my opinion) it took the sound to a new level! The mid range was toned down just a touch and the high range was enhanced so you can hear every bit of the music as it was intended by the artists Setup of the products was very easy and with just the touch of a button, they were in stereo pair. If you are looking for an easy, smart, whole home audio system I highly recommend starting with these speakers

I was thinking about buying Sonos play5, but finally decided to buy a pair of Sonos one speakers and I’m really pleased with the sound quality in my living room. Just make sure you buy a set of 2, pair them and you will have a really nice experience. I would not recommend a single speaker for bigger rooms, but for a small bedroom it will also be a good fit.

My wife and I just love the quality of these SONOS One Gen2 speakers have is 'unreal'.. They are very easy to setup and work beautifully off the internet and the SONOS app on my iPhone. YouTube rated these "the Best" of all the remote speaker systems. We listen to 6 different internet stations and their are many more to download that are all FREE... Watch for a sale on these SONOS speakers and try them for yourself !! You won't return them... A very happy customer.

We bought these two speakers to complement our Sonos beam (purchased about a year prior) and get some surround sound in our tv room. Since we have one big room that is our kitchen/dining/living room, we didn’t have a surface to place these speakers. So, we also purchased the outlet cover / pedestals for our speakers. I use the Sonos app (iOS) to add the speakers to our beam and treated it like one connected system. There were some hiccups with the update timing out a couple of times and it took me about 45 mins for all the updates and connections to take. I was not able to find any real good step by step instructions on the Sonos site to do what I wanted, but there were a couple of YouTube videos that I used for reference. As far as a stand-alone speaker I would say this speaker has better sound and bass than our google home mini and my Bose portable speaker (Revolve). We also enjoyed using the system with our Spotify account when we are not watching tv. Having Alexa is also a nice addition. The top of the speaker has nice touch areas to change volume without having your phone. Overall, I wish we had added these speakers sooner as it really changed the dynamics of our tv experience! The bass is the biggest impact that we’ve experienced and we haven’t added the sub yet. I have added the levels that my children say are the best mix because if you have the surrounds too high it will drown out the dialogue coming from the Beam. Hope this helps you if you’re on the fence to adding this speaker to your system or buying it as a stand alone. Note: I only took off a point for the ease of setup rather than the ease of use.
