Sonos One Review: Perhaps the best "listening" smart speaker!

Why do you say this? If you have read the article "I guess you may not be able to buy smart speakers why should be here", you may agree with the text. The so-called "smart speaker" is actually an entrance to the Internet. Perhaps under the conditions of the foreign network, the use is fairly smooth, but in the domestic network environment, it is basically the performance of foreign goods such as paraplegia and domestic goods such as intellectual disabilities. So when SONOS ONE (official price: 1680 yuan) this with Amazon's ALEXA voice function speaker sent to Xiaobian evaluation room, Xiao Bian can not help but think, SONOS in addition to smart, consumers can also pay this money get something?

Appreciation: Apple's "good friend"

As a "good friend" of Apple, the package style of SONOS ONE is very similar to that of Apple products. The PConline evaluation room was sent to the black version, and the black SONOS ONE was brought out of a combination of technology and fashion. There is a lyric that says "it's invisible but tempting, black, black, and black." This time black lining is not only a temptation, but also a tall feeling. A friend may have discovered that there is a microphone logo above the speaker's hard shot, indicating that this is an intelligent product that supports voice interaction.

Open SONOS ONE packaging, we can find in addition to SONOS ONE speaker body, as well as a series of necessary paper files, the package also has a power cord and a cable, fully demonstrates the nature of SONOS ONE can be networked and intelligent. What about SONOS ONE's smart operating experience? Later, we will combine the APP in detail.

Some of my friends may have complained that SONOS ONE has sold this price, and there are still so few accessories. Is it something that means cutting corners? In fact, SONOS ONE as a wireless speaker, such a volume weight is 1.85kg, can be said that money is basically thrown into the speaker. In terms of appearance design, SONOS ONE continues its own minimalist style tradition, as if many foreign big names are now good, such as Apple, B&O, and Google. But it is this "Less is more" design concept that allows SONOS ONE to integrate into the environment and become an ornament in the environment.

The design highlights of SONOS ONE are mainly placed on the upper and lower parts of the body. Let's start by looking at the above section. In addition to the "SONOS" logo on the front, the operating area on the top panel is also worth pondering. In the circular operation area divided by “points as lines”, the horizontal line runs through three buttons, from left to right are the volume reduction, play/pause and volume plus functions. As for the function of track switching, yes, Sonos One also integrates a "gesture control" function, which allows the user to switch between the next track and the previous track by sliding the finger from left to right or from right to left.

Is the circular area just a decoration? With SONOS ONE powered on, we can see that this is a row of LED lights that can show the current microphone state of SONOS ONE and the state of the voice interaction. The microphone logo on the operating area once again reminds us that this is a smart speaker combined with the Amazon Alexa service. Speaking of voice services, SONOS ONE has 6 built-in microphones for better voice recognition.

In the lower part of the SONOS ONE, it is an embedded power connector. This power connector can hide the cable well and let the SONOS ONE maintain a simple “cool” range that looks neat and clean.

For network cables that cannot be bent, SONOS ONE puts the cable interface on the back of the speaker. Just above the cable interface is the network configuration button, which allows the SONOS ONE to access the network, thus implementing a series of network functions.

A friend who is familiar with Sonos may find that in the design, he strives for a philosophy that integrates as much as possible with the use of the environment. The simple and atmospheric design looks very good and always feels where he has seen this product. Indeed, One's design prototype is a powerful PLAY:1 that can be understood as an upgraded version of the latter. And we can't see the inside, One basically uses PLAY: 1 two-way design, above is the tenor (visual measurement is 1 inch silk dome top) + lower bass speaker, both speakers are Sonos customized version of the product, With its configuration is a dual class D amplifier. It seems that the configuration is more general, but it must not be overlooked. Sonos and Bose are all masters of "playing volume". Under the mini volume, there is a fierce monster.

APP experience: It's more annoying, but more and more addictive

Although the SONOS ONE is a smart speaker, so according to routines, before we officially start using SONOS ONE speakers, we still want to connect it to the Internet. Put the SONOS ONE and the mobile phone in the same wifi environment so that a series of operations can be performed on the SONOS ONE. The configuration process has a lot of items, similar to connecting a router, enabling microphones, adding music services, and sound calibration. But the guidance is still very strong, so although it is a bit annoying, but these settings are one-time, I think it is acceptable.

It is worth mentioning that in the "sound calibration" session, we can see SONOS' exclusive Trueplay technology. This technology enables SONOS ONE to analyze the sound intensity and EQ associated with the horn according to the placement and spatial attributes, and to achieve the best possible performance.

After connecting, we can start using SONOS ONE. It is worth mentioning that SONOS ONE currently supports up to 15 domestic music platforms. No matter which music platform you are using, SONOS ONE can support it. In the SONOS App, users only need to search for songs or singers, and the system will search and display them on all streaming music service platforms (premise, binding has been added). The idea of ​​opening a track library allows users to use SONOS ONE without considering music software. This one-stop operation is also very convenient to use.

Audition comment: shocking energy

The sound quality has always been Sonos's strengths. Although in various places Sonos does not advertise how good and how HiFi sounds its own sound, it is like the small size mentioned in the previous section. Almost all products are applauding and winning. Sure enough, when listening to Sonos One, its sound performance did not disappoint Xiaobian. The overall tuning mid-downcast is more suitable for popular or jazz, and has the distinctive characteristics of a typical “American-style” sound, with rich atmosphere, good surrounding, excellent resistance to noise, and aggressiveness. The source of low-frequency energy is endless, and the dive has a good depth. In addition to the feeling of explosion, the low-frequency analysis is still in place. The medium-frequency human voice density is high, thick, vocal position is prominent and a little bit of dyeing; high-frequency brightness is deliberately enriched for a few minutes, but the burr is modified together to better show the details and the screen .

It has to be said that Sonos One sound pressure level is also quite amazing in the case of “individual soldier combat”. In the 15 room of the evaluation room, the Sonos One only needs to open up to 40% of the volume level to have enough loud voice. Supports the entire music scene. The only thing that can be said about, after all, is that there is only a single sound, and in the aspect of sound positioning, One feels a weak feeling, and the positioning is a little vague. Of course, this is the common defect of most mono sound systems. However, if you have more than one Sonos speaker and you have a 2.0 or 2.1 channel system, this problem is not a problem.

Voice control: currently a bit tasteless

After talking about the operation and sound quality experience, let's take a look at the voice operation experience of SONOS ONE. SONOS ONE has a microphone logo on the box to support voice operation, which is the result of combining with Amazon ALEXA. After completing the above basic configuration of SONOS ONE, you need to add an Amazon account to complete the function configuration of ALEXA. Because you understand the reasons, to use ALEXA or to spend a little thought, and ALEXA does not support Chinese for the time being, so for some users, ALEXA temporarily like a chicken, Xiao Bian is also looking forward to whether SONOS will introduce HKUST. Class voice system.

But in the process of using ALEXA, the experience is still quite good. After all, with the six-microphone design, the ALEXA didn't need to yell, even if it was playing music, the recognition of the instructions was really quick and quick (aside from the network delay), and the instructions and When processing, the volume of the music will be reduced intelligently, and return to normal volume after processing. As the first SONOS speaker to support voice commands, ONE's performance has been excellent enough.

Evaluation summary

First of all, let Xiaobian answer the question of the opening of the article: In addition to smart SONOS, consumers can still pay this money is the best sound in the current "smart audio." But honestly, Xiao Bian doesn't think of it as a traditional wireless stereo. Although it can be annoying to you in the SONOS ONE configuration, if all of this "disposable" configuration is done, we can even separate it. Sonos One, as a stand-alone smart device, calls it a home music platform perhaps more appropriate. The highly integrated music content of different music services does not need to worry about the copyright of any song. For people who have a certain quality of life, SONOS ONE is a good choice.
