Expensive for a single speaker
There's an annoying white light on the top

The Sonos is really great – but it's also really expensive. Unsurprisingly if you pay Ferrari prices, you'll tend to get a Ferrari – and it's the same here. Whilst I'm not entirely convinced £169 is “entry level” it doesn't stop me from recommending the...
The Play:1 is my favorite Sonos product to date, and one of my favorite wireless speakers to date. It sounds much more like one of the better large wireless speakers (the B&W Z2 or the JBL OnBeat Rumble) than like other products in its size and price rang...
Great sound for a smaller speaker, reasonably inexpensive, great way to expand a multi-speaker system,
Lack of Bluetooth feels limiting if used as a standalone speaker, Bottom line: A perfect speaker system building block, but not the best in isolation, Alt: A great addition to an existing Sonos system or if you usually use streaming services, but lack of
The Sonos PLAY1 is a great speaker to add onto your existing Sonos sound system. If you're looking for a single, small speaker, however, we think the Bose Soundtouch 10 is a better option with its more versatile connection options...
Wonderful sound, easy setup, great interface, terrific value,
No Bluetooth or Line In
The Sonos PLAY:1 is the best $200 you'll spend on music this year. Great sound quality, impeccable design, and a wonderful user experience...

Abstract: The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are both strong phones, but they’re not quite complete. While you can dunk them, you shouldn’t really drop them, so you’ll need a good case. And because they don’t come with a headphone jack, these handsets are begging for w...
Having tested a sizable sample, I can say that many entry-level wireless speakers deliver surprisingly potent sound-especially given their small footprint. There were differences among the models in this roundup, but overall I'd say that most manufacturer...

Abstract: This is a review I didn't want to write. I've been putting it off for the past month. Why? Because the Sonos PLAY:1 is awesome, and once this post goes live, a lucky MakeUseOf reader will win the two I was sent to play with.The PLAY:1 is the entry level m...
