'here is a completely different product with significant less functionality that costs more money'
Cool.
How is it a different product?
It's a bluetooth speaker that cant be stereo paired, can't use google home, doesn't have a dedicated network and has no multiroom capability. Which is the entire point of sonos.
It's a nice looking UE Boom, I guess.
@jjcf: I think you should really fact check Sonos. It does not have bluetooth, only wifi. Allure has both. Allure has Alexa assistant which Sonos doesn't. Sonos relies on devices with alexa or google home for the voice control function. Giving Allure does not have pairing but unless you going to buy two Sonos Ones for use in each room, there's no point to it.
To say Allure is a different product with significant less functionality is a joke.@itstuan: Sonos has Alexa assistant built in actually, as well as google assistant. Sonos doesn’t rely on other devices with Alexa/Google built in to operate voice control, it does it on the speaker itself.
A Bluetooth speaker is OK, but a lot of people prefer speakers over wifi so they can operate in their own network, have better audio quality, and not cut out when you get a notification.
Personally I think offering a standard Bluetooth speaker as comparison with Sonos completely misses the point, ad the previous person responded to you.
@ihavecentsnotsense: It really doesn’t, please read the specs again. Sonos One SL does not have built in Alexa or Google. nor does it have bluetooth. Cheers
@ihavecentsnotsense: You might have mistaken the Sonos One and One SL which doesn’t have the smart features. Just read up:
https://www.whathifi.com/au/reviews/sonos-one-sl
And now read the HK Allure:
https://www.whathifi.com/au/harman-kardon/hkallureblkeu/over…If you still think the One SL has built in voice assistant & the Allure is just a Bluetooth speaker then I give up
No Bluetooth :(
Sonos has never had Bluetooth in the ones. What's the issue?
can get $40 off if you can make it 240
Sonos have stuffed up their Android app (I don't have Apple devices so I can't comment on their Apple app) for a long while now and haven't been able to fix it. I've basically got thousand dollars+ of speakers that are inoperable.
Check the app reviews if you don't believe me.
I prefer to use spotify connect.
Same. Spotify connect or nothing.
The ios app is fine, if you are one of the three weirdos who actually uses it.
With 4 Android phones and 2 Apple devices in the house we have had zero issues with the older Sonos or the newer S2 application. Even the ugly desktop PC program works just fine. Unless you have older generation devices that got excluded from their support, then you're 100% excused to be pissed.
Is this a good deal if your looking at a Sonos One SL? What would others spend $200-250 on in the wireless speaker market, don’t care about Bluetooth or Voice assistant crap. No gimmicks, just good sound to fill a smallish room.
Check out the Harman Kardon Allure or Citation One, they look and sound great for that price range. Otherwise you can't go wrong with this Sonos One SL either.
This is an excellent price for this device. I also started with one Sonos One and slowly ended up with building a surround system with Playbar, Sub, 2xOnes, plus 2 more Ones around the house. Their sound is amazing and they only need power, no cables or extra amps etc.I think they are moisture resistant and you can place them in your bathroom as well, but you might need to look into that some more if you're considering it.
They fulfil our audio needs 110%.
Edit: IKEA Symfonisk is a disguised Sonos One speaker, so you can always try a cheaper alternative and see if it suits your needs. Or go for the Symfonisk lamp and enjoy great audio on your bedroom's night table.
Decent price but I would probably go for the Harman Kardon Allure for 249 as it looks so much better than the Sonos.
