like the features, setup was difficult for some of my devices (August Door lock, ruclips.net/user/postUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-dKeb4aB Bose speaker)... but all switches and outlets (5), thermostat, tankless water heater. Unfortunately all I can do is turn on/off Bose. It doesn't support volume or changing channels, but I believe that is due to the particular speaker I have.... Worth getting if you already have other devices to use it with... I don't sit around and ask Alexa questions much so that doesn't really matter to me....
The app can’t find the speaker, do I need to have the Ethernet plugged in cuz that’s in my sons room upstairs and I will never use it there, don’t have any other Ethernet ports! What do I do?
I have a SONOS eco system, 4 Ones, Sub and Beam. The One’s bass is not very good you do need the Sub to really get good overall sound. The Home Pod by itself sounds better and if you have the wallet get the Devialet Phantom.
I have one of these!😃 I hate it 😞 C O N S T A N T connection issues. Also, the mic sucks. You have to be very close to it, or screaming from across the room. It's nice looking, expensive garbage.
Super to-the-point review which answered many things I needed to know. Thank you. Considering a refurb Gen. 2 from SONOS now at $134 (-10% through capital one visa). Like so many others, I have champagne tastes on a beer budget. My only hesitancy is that I use RUclips music. I think that airplay will work, but I'm a little confused if Google assistant will recognize their product (RUclips music), and play using that voice assistant. I'm not sure you have any experience with this, but if you do, please advise. Another hesitancy is that the available refurb color is slate…not white, which I would really prefer, or black, which I think looks sharp. Such a deal at this price…a sale on refurbished, and I really don't have the budget to be picky and buy the white ones new -- I don't think they come up in the referred category… this is what we call a First World Problem.
Really good info however when you was setting up the sonos I struggled to follow your video as there are no indications to which place you where going in the setup on the phone. Other than that good!
bought a gen 2 my samsung phone and galaxy with sonos app wont detect the gen 2 sonos , i did buy an item that has been used once after openning .pls help
Hello. I hooked up my sonos 1 speakers and they seem to be working fine. I just relized i did not press the button in back of the speakers like recommended. They are working but am i missing out on something from not pressing in the button?

@@Music-for-Miles This is accurate information that I haven't thought about in a very long while. I suppose the world is a bit smaller than my initial comment. Now that I re-watched the video, I put a name to the face. Good to see you're doing well man!
I thought it doesn’t have Bluetooth, but it asked you for Bluetooth 🤔. Im bought one of these, but I read that Bluetooth doesn’t work with a laptop, si I’ll have to see if I keep it after trying it Thanks for the review. Is there another speaker you’d recommend aside from these?
@@Music-for-Miles is it annoying to not have Bluetooth connectivity? Does it make more difficult to get tired devices paired? That’s my only concern. I have a iPhone and iPad and use Spotify and Amazon music
@@avalancha08 the Sonos app connects all of your services through its interface. It’s much higher quality audio than Bluetooth since it’s over a different WiFi codec.
I was looking at making a purchase for the Sonos One, and SL for my kitchen setup. The current temporary prices are quite attractive (Dec '20). Thanks for the detailed unboxing, breakdown, comparison, and setup process on this Sonos product. Looks like I'll be adding these into my Sonos ecosystem. Great production value, keep up the great work!
I'm interested in buying a Sonos, but in all review vids I just see the streaming services u can use. Can u play music that is downloaded to a phone since I don't stream? Can u listen to a RUclips video? Or is the playback just for streaming music apps?
The one definitely plays Spotify! However it’s through the Sonos app which connects to all your music services. This speaker does not do Bluetooth but the Sonos Move does. I have a review of the Move going up shortly

Thumbs down, the set up should include the instructions for new sonos users, this video assumes you had a connection to the other sonos system before
$289 for 2 speakers, that seems very low, can you verify what you paid, please?

does it still suck, or did you figure it out?
You can get a lot of questions answered on Reddit (ee the SONOS subReddit).
@@Yowzoe Sounds great when it works, but when it doesn't it's very frustrating and that happens too often. So it still sucks 👎

This compatible with Samsung qn94a? I heard the beam gen 2 didn’t have pass through so it may be an issue for this tv……
What is app name sir

How do I add my own music from my phone library onto this
Thank you, yes would like info on the move.
how does it get its power? do I need to put it near an outlet??
I came to see if your cord at the bottom lays flat in the space?
Lose that awful racket I can't call it music good review though.
Hey now lol be nice, I wrote that racket ;) I turned down the background music in future videos.
Not equipped with battery for outdoor use?
Geny Sys you’ll need to get the Sonos move for ourdoor use. These are focused on high fi audio streaming through WiFi. No Bluetooth
Dude! Good job Menifee!!! Thank you!!
Did I leave my address somewhere ? Lol

I have the Sonos one and I want to know how to hook to Bluetooth to my iPad prob
Great effective.
289? Probably 389.00
Yeah, I think that was a great sale he got in on.
Question? If you unplug the speakers do you have to set them up again with the app?
No they reconnect automatically! I move my speakers around all the time.
@@Music-for-Miles Thanks brother... would you know when i initially set them up as surround speakers do i do each one separately?
Can you pair a Sonos one with a SL speaker in stereo mode
Yes, Sonos suggests one gen 2 pairs with one SL in a stereo pair as there is no reasons for two voice enabled devices in the same space.
@@shiouuk Thanks very much. I was hoping that was the case. I didn’t want to have 2 voice enabled speakers when I only needed one 👍🏻
so these need to be plugged into outlet as opposed to wireless?
Correct! The sonos move is the wireless model that provides comparable sound.
@@Music-for-Miles thanks, i thought i was doing some wrong :)
I thought it doesn’t have Bluetooth, but it asked you for Bluetooth 🤔. Im bought one of these, but I read that Bluetooth doesn’t work with a laptop, si I’ll have to see if I keep it after trying it Thanks for the review. Is there another speaker you’d recommend aside from these?
Only the Sonos move has Bluetooth. When did it ask me for Bluetooth?
@@Music-for-Miles during the app set up. I thought I saw that it asked you to turn on Bluetooth, maybe it was something else

You can use AirPlay if you have an Apple Device.
Does it play Spotify music? Does Bluetooth allow me to play music on my phone?
The one definitely plays Spotify! However it’s through the Sonos app which connects to all your music services. This speaker does not do Bluetooth but the Sonos Move does. I have a review of the Move going up shortly
@@Music-for-Miles and Spotify Connect, right?
I could, and would, have watch it to the end, if it wasn’t for that background noise/music
