We bought a set of the one SL and the sound was so clear. We loved it. It doesnt have much bass to it so we ended up expanding the system. They sound so goooooood!
Pros: Different Music, Different Rooms, Easy to Set Up, Expandable, Superior Sound, Wireless
In my living room, I use a pair of One SLs with stands + Beam soundbar. They're fantastic and I will purchase more for other rooms. The app has deep functionality, but needs some re-organizing to be simpler & more coherent IMO. PROS: It's great not to need wires, other than power. The default sound is great for both movies & music, being balanced, full, and detailed. Most importantly, it's adjustable to your taste. I tried HomePod, which was uncustomizable & too much bass (esp when living in an apartment). I appreciate that the One SLs have Night Mode, Speech Enhancement, custom EQ, & surround speaker volume adjustment. CONS: When the Wi-Fi goes down, the speakers need to be re-synced via a very loud calibration process (sounds like Star Wars pewpews turned up to 11). The app is solid, but organization is confusing. Tapping System (EQ icon) > Living Room for example gives only Night Mode & Speech Enhancement quick toggles. But tapping through the dedicated Settings menu gives you settings for Account, App Preferences, etc. Meanwhile, tapping Settings (gear icon) > Products > Living Room gives you *different* settings like EQ, Trueplay, Surround Audio, etc. Not to mention a list of System Settings for more mundane things like date & time. There's literally 4 different places to change settings!
Pros: Customizable EQ, Expandable, Superior Sound, Wireless
Cons: Needs Setting Up When Wi-Fi Goes Down, Unintuitive App Organiation
I would recommend these speakers for surround sound!

I bought a pair of One SL's to pair with my Arc. I would definitely recommend these. Sound stage is exceptional. I really do wish, maybe its wishful thinking but fingers crossed, that in the future, Sonos will make upward firing rear speakers for home theater.
Pros: Different Music, Different Rooms, Easy to Set Up, Expandable, Free Control Options, Streams All My Music, and More, Superior Sound, Wireless
I use it with my 72" Samsung Tv. I needed wireless to get the sound effect I wanted. It is perfect in my Great Room teamed with the Sonos Beam and Subwoofer.
