great sound, but google integration is still not seamless. You can control this from google assistant, but that's about it. You cannot use it as a google speaker and group with other google speakers. If you are only buying Sonos, then it is fine. But if you have a google ecosystem and you want to add on, you cannot.
These speakers have great sound, are unobtrusive, and look great. The biggest drawback is the setup. Sonos has made it impossibly difficult to set these up. I'm no whiz at this, but the convolutions one has to go through to set these up is ridiculous. At one point I was ready to return them. You can follow all the instructions in the manual, but then you'll have to call the service line. Expect to be on hold for 45 minutes, as everyone is calling them. Sonos needs to step up and make its products compatible with consumers' servers and routers. As it is, they expect everyone to modify their systems to accommodate their products. The world doesn't work that way.
Pros: Streams All My Music, and More, Superior Sound, Wireless
I purchased the Sonos Arc system for my TV room (Arc, Sub and (2) One SL's). The sub is quite powerful (I listen to it in the "night mode" regularly). The surround sound is so realistic that my dog often thinks the sound (emanating from the speakers) is coming from outside and charges to the front door... The system is super easy to setup and to use, it woks flawlessly with my TV controller or i-phone. Music from Spotify sounds awesome, so much so that I purchased a second set of One SL's for my sitting room to listen to music. The bass response of the SL's (alone) is quite impressive. The product design and finish is very classy... Sonos does not disappoint.
Pros: Easy to Set Up, Expandable, Streams All My Music, and More, Superior Sound, Wireless
