Review on Sonos One SL - Two Room Set: The Exceptional Microphone-Free Speaker for Music and More - Black by Victor Houser

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Beautiful balanced sound, easy to set up and use - amazing!

I'm picky about my sound and worried that like many well-reviewed speakers, the output would be loud, muffled and dirty. I was also concerned about the setup as I have a Netgear Orbi system and in my research I found that many SONOS users were having trouble getting their Orbi home network to recognize SONOS. My speakers were quickly identified and very easy to set up - another surprise! I started the installation later on Friday evening and expected to finish it on Saturday, fully expecting to encounter obstacles. The interface, setting up the service, pairing the two speakers as stereo speakers went through quickly. I got the SL because I didn't need Alexa built in, it's already everywhere in my house. I was able to connect to my Echo footage and now I can tell Alexa to play Sirius' BBC news in the kitchen - no changes, it just works! I set the alarm clock for different times depending on the day of the week and put on different music. I'm really impressed with the sound - nice, crisp and balanced with just the right amount of bass. These speakers exceeded my expectations in terms of looks (beautiful looks - I have white), sound, interface and features. Solid processing quality! I have them hanging on my kitchen wall, and although I've only had them for a few days, I've used (and enjoyed) them many times! I believe in this product and would highly recommend it if you are looking for a versatile speaker that not only looks good but sounds fantastic too.
