Sonos One (2nd Gen) Voice Controlled Smart Speaker w/ Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant - Black

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.

My husband bought this for me for Christmas, and wow what a great gift. I love love this new speaker. It sounds amazing and Alexa is fun to use. It’s small, but packs a great sounds. I love being able to tell Alexa to turn on music and turn off the music. I can’t wait to add more to it. I only gave it four stars because it’s confusing to set up and doesn’t come with a lot of directions, plus I severely broke a nail trying to unplug the power from the base. I had to find the user info online, but that still wasn’t easy. However, once I figured out what I was doing it was easy. I highly recommend this product.

Purchased our first one for the bedroom. Loved it. The sound is amazing true bass good vocal wide range. Compact easy to use. Can use Alexa or Google. But not at the same time. Went on to purchase four more. You can play whole house or individual speakers with voice command. Wireless. WiFi. Amazing product.

I added a pair of these as rear channel. Using with Arc and sub. I have owned quite a few surround systems over the past 30 years. This is the best sounding set I have owned. Ease of use with Sonos App.

All of my Sonos products are fabulous I love how they all speak to each other throughout the entire apartment.
