Review on πŸ”Š Sonos One (Gen 2) Two Room Set: Voice Controlled Smart Speaker with Amazon Alexa Built in (2-Pack White) by Dakota Afzalian

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Alexa integration is misleading

Despite these being genuine Sonos speakers, claims of full Alexa integration are misleading. The speaker only supports native Alexa features like Smart Home. Pretty much every third-party skill that supports the regular Echo isn't supported by these speakers. Even abilities that you can add manually don't work on command. The speaker just sits there, listening, and then nothing happens. The Sonos user forums are also full of complaints about it. It's disappointing that Sonons released such an unfinished product or misled users. Nevertheless, I'm keeping them as I mainly use them for music and home automation, but at the moment the product doesn't deserve more than 2 stars. If Sonos fixes these issues I'll be happy to come back and update the review.

Pros
  • Wireless multi-room systems
Cons
  • Big and chunky
