SeekerSonos One
The Sonos One is a cleanly designed, feature-rich and great-sounding device that brings together the best of both ecosystems. You’ve got ever-improving voice assistants, including Alexa and Google Assistant, on the one hand, and on the other you’ve got Sonos with its own multi-room smarts. If you’re prepared to pay the price premium over Amazon’s or Google's first-party speakers, the One is the best smart speaker bar none.

The Sonos One is the best-sounding smart speaker yet, and its integration with Amazon’s—and Google's—assistant is excellent (if not yet complete).

The Sonos One takes an already great wireless speaker in the form of the Play:1 and puts most of what’s great about Amazon’s Alexa in the top. The result is the best all-round music-focused smart speaker available in the UK.

The Sonos One is the best smart speaker we’ve tested. It’s more expensive than rivals but really is worth the extra for a huge difference in sound quality – not forgetting about design and build, too.
Alexa and Google Assistant voice control are great – although we’d like more Sonos-specific voice controls.

The Sonos One is a powerful and neat audio player that slots neatly into an existing Sonos setup, giving you the full multi-room capabilities. At launch, it had Amazon Alexa built in, but you can now alternate and choose to have the Google Assistant instead, opening up the options and satisfying those that bought Google Home devices rather than Echo speakers. As such, this isn’t just a great music player but the most flexible smart speaker, too.

A smart speaker that sits at the top of the pile in its own right, but one that can become even better thanks to the wider Sonos multi-room capabilities.

The Sonos One is a great smart speaker and a perfect addition or start to a Sonos system, if you can find it at a good price now it's been succeeded by the Era 100. There's Alexa and Google Assistant on offer, excellent sound performance and there's still a great design despite being 6 years old.

The Sonos Era 100 is a little taller and wider, as well as pricier than the Sonos One and One SL, but it offers a more environmentally-friendly design, Bluetooth capabilities, USB-C line in and more intuitive controls, as well as stereo sound.
