Great device. Easy to set up and personalise. Good sound quality and deep base.
Audio quality amazing for price. Easy to setup just follow prompts. As Sonos is an independent company there are dozens of streaming services you can subscribe to. The new Sonos S2 app wasn’t good at launch in June but is much better now. Bonus you can play you own music stored on your device over wi-fi rather than the limits of Bluetooth. Your not limited to Alexa for voice integration but it is the best.
Works great with my iPhone and iPod. Great sound quality even at volume. Small so can easily moved from room to room.
This is my second Sonos one speaker and does what you expect from stand alone to all speakers playing. Great sound and simple to use.
Having lived off an echo dot for the last two years this Sonos speaker is amazing! Easy set up with the app and amazon account for Alexa (not managed to get voice recognition working yet), but the maximum sound is so impressive!
Brilliant sound. Easy to set up and link to WiFi. Can’t fault i
I absolutely love my Sonos’s my music system has never worked so well with such little effort.. would recommend highly.. I have 3 and have bought 2 as presents .. love love love
This is a great bit of kit I have had Bose in the past and this is at least it’s equivalent and smaller incredible sound from such a small speaker very impressive…
Easy to set up and Alexa works great. The sound quality is so much better than my Echo dot. Great purchase and I will be adding to the collection. Even my wife likes it!!
I had the Amazon studio, bass was overwhelming. So I bought a Sonos 1 with Alexa built in. The quality is outstanding. Only downside is not being able to change the wake word. The definitive Smart speaker in my opinion. It’s got some serious punch for a small size.
Excellent speaker as ever. Set up is very straightforward and Alexa integration simple. Great sound and a really solid feeling product.
Additional speaker for bedroom, already have one in dining room, the ancient clock radio had had its day, and the constant off-station crackle and interference was just too much. Sonos is just brilliant, clarity, and tone second to none, and it’s great to ask it the weather before you get up!
The sound out of this is marvellous. If you have an Apple phone or iPad it works seamlessly with airplay. I debated whether to get the Bose but I am glad I went with this. Design will last long – it’s finished to a high quality. Also like the way it comes in environmentally friendly packaging – no plastic.
Beats a echo home system for music quality and same Alexa functionality
For the size of the speakers they sounding excellent.I will add another speaker to make them stereo pair.
The speaker sound quality is excellent and was eady to link with the speakers I already had. Alexia was eady to install and I have had no problem with voice recognition.
Pros –
Great quality sound
Alexa Built in
Best in house speaker system you can get for enthusiasts
Cons-
Normal issues with alexa working (Poor understanding) Will improve with time
Bit of a mess to set up, jumping from alexa app to sonos,
Sonos app is very poor in general
Once up and running this speaker is a dream
Absolutely fantastic! Love using this product. Bought two, one for upstairs and the other downstairs. Can be linked together for stereo.
Bought for a one off party. The party didn’t happen because of Covid but the sound quality of these are so good I use every day. I own 4 now. You need 2 in each room set up as stereo pair for best effect. Worth the money.
I now have 6 Sonos speakers. Two are in the lounge but not Alexa supported but my Echo controls them. I added these 2 new ones to achieve surround sound and very pleased
quite simple to set up, sound quality 10/10 for the price would definitely recommended
Wow – I did a lot of research for what my chaps were looking for in our noisy machine shop.
We discussed options and decided on this one, knowing we could add another to the system.
We were not disappointed- amazing sound quality and the chaps can just pick the album’s they want on their phones.
Really happy with the sound quality and how easy it is to use :). Would be great if it had an integrated battery!
I’ve already own a stereo pair of Sonos One SL’s so I decided to go step up with Sonos One which have Alexa/Google assistant built-in as a gift for my daughter. She is very happy and I think she loves it. What can I say about Sonos?… These speakers definitely are not for audiophiles but they are simple to use, future-proof, good looking and of course they sound good ( really good as a stereo pair and after trueplay tuning ). Of course I’ve never heard their (Sonos) bigger speakers, so this refers only to Play 1/One/SL.
Sonos never disappoints, this is 4th Sonos1. Awesome performance, as an audiophile will rate this as one of the best speakers. My only feedback would be they should bring in Bluetooth., hopefully they are listening
Excellant rich sound, nice base and good volume level. I have a sonos one already and wanted another.
Just wish it had bluetooth
Upgrade for my play 1. Works brilliantly with sonos beam for home cinema. Sorry neighbors
Perfect apart from its refusal to accept my Apple Music – keeps telling me I have to buy Amazon music.
This product sounds phenomenal gutted that price went down by 40 after purchase but definitely a good buy
Within a few minutes linked to other Sonos units now sound throughout the house – simply love i
Does exactly what it says on the box , awesome sound quality, will be adding to it !!
Great product. This is the 5th Sonos product I have and 3rd Sonos play 1 sec gen. Sonos are quality products. Easy to set up and use. Great sound quality. Final addition to my Sonos network
Great addition, I’ve added a pair of these to replace a bulkier Sonos 3. Great product will buy again.
Great speaker! Finally I can ask Alexa to play a song and the sound quality is outstanding. Great voice recognition, better than Alexa specific equipment.
Looks and sounds good, does perform voice actions although with a warning that it doesn’t support them
I have many Sonos products, bought 2 of these to pair with my Playbar for surround sound. Effortless setup. Perfect sound.
I brought this to supplement my old Sonos speakers which I play music downloaded on my I Pod touch. I don’t stream. Unfortunately Sonos stopped the connectivity with my old speakers about a year ago so I brought this speaker as it has apple play and so reconnects all the speakers back to said i pod. I hate manufacturers withdrawing services – it should not be allowed! With this I can hear music from my i pod again!
I bought this for my wife instead of an Amazon echo, as this speaker is Alexa and Google compatible (not at the same time). Having options and not being locked to one system is always preferable. Sonos have been around for years and the quality of the hardware and sound are great. The other bonus is the expansion to add more connected speakers in the future. Setup took a little longer than expected but it wasn’t a big deal. Recommend you watch a video beforehand.
This is a really nice product that compliments our sonos surround sound system. Very happy with the purchase, looks great too.
Use two of these as my surround sound setup.
Sounds amazing ! Setting up is a breeze and connection is great and reliable.
This was an additional add on to my original Sonos and I’m can’t be happier . Now I have one on each side of the room to have a full balance sound! So far so good!
Very impressive, especially when linked to matching unit for stereo music sounds using amazon music for stored purchases (CDs)
Amazing sound quality and so easy to set up, plus I like the idea of adding extra speakers later on as and when you need to.
Small and neat you can her anything well almost anything brought this as a Christmas present Alexa has been a big hi
I took a star off because I had alot if trouble with it dropping connection. it turned out because I had both my 2.4ghz and 5ghz frequencies as the same ssid.. allowing devices to swap between them automatically the sonos was crashing.. it only connects via 2.4ghz frequency. their support helped me out in fairness but I had to rename my 5ghz network to avoid the issue.
Brilliant bit of kit, sound quality is superior to other smart speakers I have listened to, you can connect to Alexa, Google or Siri.
Using as cinema surround speakers with a sonos beam, very nice! Even better when you put music through…..these speakers rock!
Found google to be better, nice that you have the option.
Great audio, plenty of depth
Controls tv/chrome cast
Smaller than I thought it would be but wasn’t let down by the quality
Great sound quality. Annoying when you ask Alexa to play something that she always does it on Apple Music, and there’s a lot of music she doesn’t ‘know’
Great addition to the Sonos products but does not work with Alexa routines, Sonos really need to add this
Great sound… easy to use. Works great with Alexa and amazon music. Best speaker I have ever owned. Fills the room with great quality sounding music.
Added this to our other Sonos speakers. Great system easy to use and have one in each room now. This means you don’t need it loud in one room to hear it in another!!!
Bought in Black Friday deal. Sound very good. Got it one of those little stands to, that definitely stops furniture vibrating!
Easy to use. So handy in a busy kitchen. Ask Alexa to play anything if you’re signed up to Amazon!
VERY impressed with this speaker. the sound is incredible. connectivity is excellent and with Alexa built in this is a fantastic all round speaker.
Very glad that I finally bought this. The compact size and connectivity is great. Good sound quality for the size.
Best speakers I’ve ever had. I had Bose before but the connectivity and features are so much more and better. Easy to work interface.
Good sound reproduction if combined with playbar/sound bar & even better if you add the Sonos subwoofer, that combination really blows your socks off, Alexa is pretty good most of the time, if you speak clearly & loud enough, but although I bought all mine when on offer, I am still of the opinion that the purchase price is still out of reach for many consumers.
Not sure why but compared to my Play1s this definitely sounds like it has a much better sound even though the actual hardware is the same.
If you are contemplating whether to buy One or Play1 just remember that the later versions of One and Five can’t be stereo matched to the older versions so if you ever have a choice always go for the newer versions.
Excellent sound quality and enough volume to fill our 36 sq meter family room. Great Alexa integration and best price by far! I’ll definitely be buying another – maybe two…
Amazing product, works very well with all of my smart devices and is a very good looking device so fits well in a modern home.
Love these !
So easy to set up and sound is proper good !!
I have tried various WiFi speakers at various price points but these by far are the best by a mile !! Will be adding many more I’m sure :-))
I bought these to add to my Sonos sound bar for a complete surround sound and they are excellent for this. I can also AirPlay music from my iPhone through the system, I believe, you would have difficulty finding a system that gives a better sound quality. On the down side they are expensive but shopping around can save some money.
Upgraded our Dot for the kitchen so we had a better speaker for kitchen dancing with the kids! .. speaker is fab but the Alexa doesn’t seem anywhere near as responsive as as the Dot.. end up screaming at the Alexa/speaker to get it to respond and then takes a while to action.. maybe the Alexa doesn’t hear voices as well over the louder music??
It feels like an upgrade for my old play 3 and it’s great value for money,
I love the feature where when you’re playing a song on spotify, if you tap the play 1 it automatically starts playing.
Great sounding premium speaker however doesn’t come with full Alexa integration (can’t do voice calls or drop in – I presume this is common with all aftermarket products?)
A bit pricey, but definitely worth it as with the price comes the quality, had a satisfying frequency range and nice feeling bass. Also the app allows you to change the eq which is nice.
Really good sound and once you figure how to put alexa on it its works really well the alexa bit is a bit confusing cos at no point does it say it has alexa built in you have to add an app then add service bit confusing but after a15 minute call to amazon to a guy who I couldmt understand then sonos I worked it out but still a good buy dont let me being stupid put you off.
Bought this for my son, he loves it but I’ve noticed the Alexa sometimes doesn’t work every time. Not a massive problem. I’ve connected this to my sons led wifi strip lights and it’s perfect. I would recommend this device over similar priced smart speakers.
I use these speakers as rear surround sound speakers and as such they are superb. Very easy to add to my 5.1 surround system. I haven’t tested the Alexa integration with these Sonos Ones (so I haven’t scored for that) but it was very simple to set up with my Sonos Playbar.
Haven’t activated Alexa so can’t comment on that. Easy to set up. Online support is very good too. Works well with Amazon Music!
Great device, Alexa works very well and is great to pair up with a beam sound bar for surround sound. Audio quality is fantastic as is the Sonos app and airplay capabilities from iOS devices.
Added as part of a surround system. Dead easy to set up. Very well made. Sounds great. Alexa …… is Alexa, which is great.
Its Sonos, so its brilliant (in my opinion).
Happy to recommend.
This product is well worth every penny. My music sounds like I am in a club brilliant sound. I love that it has Alexa built in and Google Assist. I would recommend this product. I| love it.
Incredible speaker! The music quality is astonishing!!
The only thing that could be improved is the Alexa integration, it is hit and miss sometimes. It was working perfectly, till I changed my WiFi, then I had to reset everything to get Alexa working again.
Now it’s working perfectly again. I’d have one in every room if I could afford it!
I love the sonos eco system. Used it a few years ago and then sold it all as I moved to a differnt system.
I returned to the Sonos ecosystem a few months back and now have a small collection (again). There’s nothing else like the reliability, audio quality and audio sync between the units – it’s all flawless.
All of this at what is now a very reasonable price.
Fantastic speaker. Great sound quality for price. Even better if pairs up with another similar model. East to set up and easy to use. Sonos app is very good. For the price nothing much else comes close. Well built and reliable.
Really good sound on its own. Once I get a second one I will pair it with my beam. My friend has a beam with two sonos one speakers and it sounds amazing. Dlna and multiroom works great.
This smart speaker does exactly what I want it to do! I love the fact you can speak to it and also that I can link it with my other Sonos. It looks good and just the right size.
I was pleasantly surprised how this small device sounds. It has a lot of streaming services, and you can play your own playlist (.m3u) files. You can even stream PC audio this way. Android app is a little unintuitive. What disappointed me the most – unable to play audio from actual youtube. It does play music from Youtube Music, but it’s not possible to stream Youtube video’s audio. There is a workaround though – Apple AirPlay or SonosTube for Android.
Overall – no regrets. Would I buy again? Yes.
Great sound, look and built. The voice assistant feature is OK but not overwhelming. Tried both Alexa and Google and decided to stick with Google as it integrates better with Google Calender, Maps etc. (of course)
Another winner by Sonos. I pair it to my Sonos sound bar and I can listen to music or tv in another room. It looks smart and durable
I bought one of these speakers for my lounge, the sound is fantastic but I thought It needed two speakers to even it up, it’s even better now and I’m delighted.
Sonos is robust and businesslike, with great sound. I knew what I was buying and no regrets. Super quality. Haven’t yet set up Alexa, so no comment there.
The Sonos One delivers big punch in a little package – the intelligent speaker setup lets you position the speaker array in such a way that it sounds consistently excellent no matter which part of the room you are in, the alexa integration is absolutely seamless and the look and feel of the unit is classy and expensive. Great value and excellent sound quality 10/10.
An excellent speaker, the sound quality is pure and fills our front room. Alexa is a tad difficult at times, but nothing you can’t put up with. Overall I’m very pleased with my purchase, Sonos speakers are sublime.
I have older Sonos speakers so i already enjoy the setup. I bought this to allow the continued use of Apple and iphone music. Not yet convinced about the alexa part but will give it a go.
The Sonos range has always been a pleasure to use, the sound is great and build quality is great, I don’t think ill ever swap from Sonos. they are worth every penny
It is a hi fi speaker with smart built in. In no way is it a smart speaker that plays music! Its not meant to be portable so no need to consider that. Really great sound! Its just perfect for me and I love the added skills, particularly BBC and news flashes.
Love the speaker. Just amazing. BUT – Richer Sounds packaging a little too minimal. All they did was put an address label on the Sonos box, which I would say would encourage would be pilferers . The package arrived compromised and falling apart with the ethernet cable missing (good job not my first Sonos). Luckily speaker is fine, but luck more than planning.
Note: Richer Sounds have since contacted me and apologised. Thank you!
As a family music is a big thing for us and we all love listening to Alexa through this. Very pleased with the sound quality and my kids love talking to it.
Great sound we added 2 of these to the bat for surround sound and its really fantastic. Only issue is when you ask alexa to play music or read an audible book the music or book starts while she’s still talking.
Sometimes Alexa doesn’t work. So have to reset the SONOS up? Bit annoying. But other than that it’s perfect for sound ect. Bought as a birthday present.
I love the rich sound and the way it fills the room. Build quality is high and it looks good in my room too. I love it so much I bought a second one
Set up in minutes. Sounds incredible. Looks stunning. Alexa works really well. I have a beam in my lounge (which is also superb) and this in my kitchen. It sounds great when the whole house is playing the same tune.
We bought this for my dad as he lives for his music but my mum was sick of having an old fashioned stereo (Bose) and CDs taking up space. The sound quality is amazing, it’s easy to setup and my dad loves it – best present he’s ever been given after his motorbike!
Great quality, and sound, very easy set up. Considering buying another for stereo sound
