Review on πŸ”Š Sonos One (Gen 2) Two Room Set: Voice Controlled Smart Speaker with Alexa Built-in - 2-Pack Black/White by Matthew Perez

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Alexa integration is confusing

While these are genuine Sonos speakers, the claim that they are fully integrated with Alexa is 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
  • Get the latest weather forecast, quick briefings, sports scores, set timers and all the other great Amazon Alexa features.
Cons
  • Slightly dented
