SONOS ONE GEN 2 ANDROID

Waft your iPhone (the feature isn’t compatible with Android devices) around the same room the One is in while it pumps out some precision-tuned ambient noise, and the speaker will tune itself to your surroundings. For more finesse, you’ll want a bigger, dumber model such as the Sonos Five or Naim’s Mu-so QB.Ī big part of the One’s powerhouse performance is down to Sonos’ TruePlay tuning. Whether it blasting out Brand New, Solange or Vince Staples, everything sounds pretty much spot on considering this speaker’s diminutive size. You’ll get by just fine with the One in solo mode, though. And as with all Sonos kit, the One can be paired with another One, or Move, or Roam or whatever. It’s got the power and the detail to do justice to your favourite tunes, even more so when you pair two of the things together for stereo sound. With the Sonos One, it’s a speaker first and a smart home whizz second. Like a standard car radio, you put up with it because other features are more important. While the latest Echo sounds better than previous editions, it’s still an unrefined listen. I’ve happily stuck on a few tunes with my Echo while frantically getting prepped for work, but I wouldn’t necessarily want to sit through a complex album in its company. So who really cares?Ĭrucially, the difference in sound between the Sonos One and Amazon Echo is night and day. The Sonos One doesn’t sound better than the Play:1, but it still ranks as one of the best small speakers you can buy right now. Having placed the two speakers side-by-side, that’s exactly the case. Sonos has built the One to have exactly the same ‘sound profile’ as the Play:1, which is a fancy way of saying it should live up to the same audio standards as as its predecessor.
