SONOS PLAY:1 Smart Wireless Speaker, White

Product Information

The new Beam’s internal layout is much the same as its predecessor’s, but the quintet of front-facing drivers are configured into five separate arrays rather than three. Sonos chose to discontinue the Play 5 after several years of software upgrades and the release of a new enhanced version branded the Play 5 (Gen2) in 2015. Sonos One and Sonos One SL are very alike in terms of design and sound but the One and One SL are a little bit refined in the finish, which offers capacitive touch controls like the other all-new Sonos speakers.

You can play music from your collection or stream music from Internet radio stations, as well as many other Internet music services after you’ve connected. Since this process wipes out all your settings, Sonos recommends troubleshooting connection issues before factory resetting your Playbar.After plugging it in, the Sonos One routinely discovered our Wi-Fi, and we become capable of picking this at the tool control in Spotify.

If pushed, I would certainly get rid of my echo devices, rather than Sonos, if that helps you to decide. In addition, while the Sonos One originally only supported Alexa, it now supports AirPlay and Google Assistant. I can definitely tell you that the listening experience of a single Play 5 (gen 2) is much better than that of the Play 5 (Gen 1). With AirPlay, stream directly from your Apple devices or ask Siri to play your favourites from Apple Music throughout your home.I don’t require an extra Ethernet port to expand my network, thus its absence from the Play 5 goes unnoticed by me (Gen2). The Play:1's sound is just as weighty and solid as we remember, with plenty of power and punch for a small speaker. The Sonos Wireless HiFi System lets you stream all the music on earth wirelessly in every room of your home with control from your Android® smartphone, iPhone®, or iPad®.

I've seen many threads about what is best between two play one plus sub or two play 5 2nd gen without sub, and it seems there's no a definite answer, as it is very subjective at the end.The device can be set up again, though, so as long as you know what you're doing, there is not any danger in hard resetting a Sonos. SonosOne delivers rich, full bass from a dedicated mid-woofer with a clear definition from mid-range sounds. The Sonos One (Gen 2) has a faster processor to register and respond to your commands with greater haste. The Beam Gen 2 provides a more enveloping, spatial soundscape with richer, more detailed audio as well as tangible motion and depth.
