Full-bodied, rich sound, Combines best of Alexa and Sonos, Plays music while Alexa is muted
Voice controls don't support Spotify, Google Assistant is MIA until 2018
It feels as though the Sonos One could eventually end up being the perfect Alexa speaker. Fundamentally this is because it's underpinned by audio quality that's a step above what's available on Amazon's current generation of Echo hardware, but it's a spea...
Great design, excellent sound quality, brilliant Alexa integration with Google Assistant coming soon too, voice control, seamless multi-room audio, compatible with over 80+ music services, easy setup
Spotify voice control not as comprehensive as Amazon Music yet, expensive compared to other smart speakers, no Alexa calling compatibility
The Sonos One is a small but mighty little speaker. It delivers a premium, solid design, just as you would expect from a Sonos device, but it couples its good looks with smarts too, living up to that "smart speaker for music lovers" tagline.It has some se...

The Sonos One integrates full-fledged Alexa voice control, just like an Amazon Echo speaker but with better sound quality. It offers most of Alexa's smart home controls and its far-field microphone performs similarly to an Echo. The Sonos One works seamle
The One costs twice as much as the new Echo. It cannot form a stereo pair with an existing Sonos Play:1. There's no Spotify voice control or Alexa Calling at launch, and Google Assistant and AirPlay 2 support won't arrive until 2018. It doesn't work how y
The Alexa-powered Sonos One is the first smart speaker that actually sounds good with music -- and even more new features will be coming to it in the months ahead...

Abstract: Sonos wouldn't like it, but you could call its new smart speaker an “Echo.” A high-end, very nice-sounding, but flawed Amazon Echo—the kind someone who just got a promotion might buy themselves, because unlike the £50 Dot or new £100 Echo, this speaker wi...

Smart speaker voice recognition still generally dodgy
The Sonos One presents a pretty incredible value for those already firmly in the Sonos camp, and is a massive improvement upon the Play:1 speaker. Just remember, though, that Alexa will be available on all Sonos products through a Sonos app update...

Stylish and unobtrusive, Solid, sophisticated sound, Alexa and Google Assistant, AirPlay 2,
No hi-res audio,
After ironing out some of the initial software bugs, and adding features such as Alexa control of Spotify and AirPlay 2, the Sonos One cements its place as one of the best £200 smart speakers on the market.If you don't value the voice assistant you may be...
Great design,Excellent sound quality,Brilliant Alexa and Google Assistant integration,Voice control,Seamless multi-room audio,Compatible with over 100+ music services,Easy setup
Voice control for some music services not as comprehensive as Amazon Music,Apple Music or Spotify,Expensive compared to other smart speakers,No Alexa calling compatibility
The Sonos One is a great little speaker based on our first impressions. The design and sound are everything you'd expect from a Sonos device, while the addition of integrated voice control is certainly a welcome one.Yes, there are plenty of smart speakers...
You can customise the sound of the speaker to suit your room thanks to the Trueplay feature using the microphone on your iPad, Trueplay (available in the Sonos app) analyses how sound reflects off walls, furnishings, glass and other surfaces in a room, ad
It's expensive for a speaker of its size, At present, Alexa can't play songs from Spotify, There's no 3.5mm socket on the speaker that lets you connect devices that don't have wifi to the speaker
The Sonos One fuses great sound quality with the convenience of a voice assistant. Simple to use and with the ability to be connected to a multi-room audio system, there's not much else you could want from a small home speaker...
Abstract: Much like the explosive growth of the smartphone market in the late 2000s, the smart speaker category is now in its own period of rapid expansion. And like the rise of the smartphones, it's not a free-for-all - it's a proxy war.Sure, everyone is in it for...
