For Sonos fans and music fans after a smart speaker that delivers excellent sound quality for its size, a great design and fantastic integrated Alexa and Google Assistant voice control, the Sonos One won't disappoint. It is the smart speaker we've been waiting for.

Great design; Excellent sound quality; Brilliant Alexa and Google Assistant integration; Voice control; Seamless multi-room audio; Compatible with over 100+ music services; Easy setup

Voice control for some music services not as comprehensive as Amazon Music; Apple Music or Spotify; Expensive compared to other smart speakers; No Alexa calling compatibility

The Sonos One takes an already great wireless speaker in the form of the Play:1 and puts most of what’s great about Amazon’s Alexa in the top. The result is the best all-round music-focused smart speaker available in the UK.

A little hard of hearing compared to the Echo

If you care about music and have kitted out your home with at least a smattering of smart kit, then the Sonos One should be teetering close to the top of your smart speaker wishlist right now. Most of its early inconsistencies have been ironed out by some software updates and, even if it can sometimes be a little hard of hearing compared to Amazon's Echo, it's a superb wireless speaker. Given the One is a carbon copy of the already brilliant Play:1 with a fresh paint job and the same internal driver configuration, that’s no surprise at all. Alongside the HomePod, Sonos’s Alexa-powered speaker remains a class apart from the competition – and won’t force you to commit to Apple’s ecosystem ’til death do you part. Now that’s a romance we can totally get behind.
