Finally Took the Plunge

I bought a pair of One SLs for my home office, which I've been spending a lot of time in since about March 2020. I had heard great things about Sonos from friends but had felt my Alexa ecosystem with computer speakers sufficed. What tipped the scales for me was going on vacation and staying at a house that had a Sonos Connect. I downloaded the app and started listening. I was impressed with the "app within an app" functionality when listening to streaming services like Spotify or SiriusXM. Once I got the pair of speakers set up at home, I was really impressed with the sound. I now have them connected to my Mac via AirPlay and they have worked flawlessly. I'm thinking seriously about getting a second pair for the living room. They aren't the cheapest out there but I feel I got my money's worth.
I install the Sonos app on ipads and iphones and windows pc. Then I just push the button on the speaker to start/stop the music, adjust the volume, or skip forward/backward. I don't like having to use the phone all the time. I would like more control from the speaker itself, like more buttons on the top. I don't like that I always have to navigate back to that one youtube music playlist. Just let me pin that playlist as my default. Great sound, good looking. I have the SL but would rather have the Google Assistant included. I wouldn't buy the SL again. Also, this speaker should support bluetooth.
Bought a pair for my garage workshop. Already had a bunch of speakers all around my house. Every time I setup a new Sonos speaker I am impressed with how easy it is and how good the sound is. Add to that the flexibility of the available music (Sonos, Apple Music, Pandora, Spotify, and more) and how easy it is to control.
Pros: Different Music, Different Rooms, Easy to Set Up, Expandable, Free Control Options, Streams All My Music, and More, Superior Sound, Wireless
These speakers add a TON of volume to the current Sonos Arc I have. I would have to say, I do not think they were that easy to set up. I am disappointed in the fact that I have to use my phone to turn ALL three speakers up/down at the same time. My Firestick remote will not allow me to do this. I can only increase/decrease the volume of the Arc speaker with my Firestick remote. To increase all three speakers together I have to use my phone (unless I'm not able to figure this out). The speakers are stylish and do a great job at adding surround sound to the whole system. I will be getting the sub when i can save up enough money. Def worth the money.
