In today’s consumer market, it's quite common to purchase a wireless speaker that supports mobile app control. Even if such a speaker comes with a higher price tag, it doesn’t carry the same stigma as buying an expensive headset, which might be seen as a foolish choice. This suggests that speakers have always been perceived as relatively high-end electronics. However, when it comes to smart speakers, opinions can vary widely—some may find them impressive, while others might question whether they're worth the cost.
Why do I say this? If you've read the article titled “I Guess You May Not Be Able to Buy Smart Speakers, Why Should You Be Here?†you might agree. A "smart speaker" is essentially an entry point to the internet. While it functions smoothly under foreign network conditions, its performance in domestic environments often feels like foreign goods are struggling and local alternatives are lacking in intelligence. So, when the SONOS ONE (officially priced at 1680 yuan) was sent to our evaluation room, we couldn't help but wonder: besides being smart, what else can consumers get for this price?
**Appreciation: Apple's "Good Friend"**
The packaging of the SONOS ONE closely resembles that of Apple products. We received the black version, which exudes a blend of technology and fashion. As the saying goes, "It's invisible but tempting, black, black, black." This time, the black design isn't just attractive—it's also impressive. Some may notice the microphone logo on the top of the speaker, indicating its voice interaction capabilities.
Opening the box, we found the SONOS ONE speaker, along with necessary documents, a power cord, and a cable. This shows that the device is fully networked and intelligent. What about the smart experience? We’ll explore it further with the app.
Some friends might complain that the SONOS ONE is priced high yet comes with few accessories, suggesting it’s cutting corners. But considering the weight of 1.85kg, the price reflects the quality. The minimalist design, reminiscent of Apple, B&O, and Google, allows it to blend into any environment, becoming a stylish addition rather than an eyesore.
The design highlights are on the top and bottom. On the top panel, there’s a circular control area with three buttons for volume adjustment and play/pause. It also features gesture control for track switching. LED lights indicate the microphone status and voice interaction state. With six built-in microphones, it ensures clear voice recognition.
On the bottom, there’s an embedded power connector that keeps cables hidden, maintaining a clean look. The back has a network port and a configuration button for easy setup.
Familiar users may recognize the design philosophy of seamless integration with the environment. The SONOS ONE is based on the PLAY:1 model, featuring a dual driver system with a 1-inch silk dome tweeter and a bass driver. It uses a dual class D amplifier, delivering powerful sound despite its compact size.
**APP Experience: More Annoying, But Addictive**
Connecting the SONOS ONE to Wi-Fi is the first step. The setup includes configuring the router, enabling microphones, adding music services, and sound calibration. Though a bit tedious, the guidance is clear, making it a one-time process.
One standout feature is Trueplay technology, which analyzes the room’s acoustics to optimize sound. Once connected, the app allows access to up to 15 domestic music platforms, offering a unified experience without worrying about specific apps.
**Sound Quality: Shocking Power**
Sonos is known for its excellent sound quality. The SONOS ONE delivers rich, atmospheric audio with strong noise resistance and deep bass. The mid-range is warm, ideal for pop or jazz, while the highs are detailed without harshness.
In a small room, the speaker can fill the space at 40% volume. However, it lacks precise sound positioning, which is typical for mono systems. But with multiple units, this issue is minimized.
**Voice Control: Still a Bit Basic**
The SONOS ONE integrates Amazon Alexa, requiring an account for full functionality. Although Alexa currently doesn’t support Chinese, the voice recognition is quick and accurate. It adjusts volume automatically during commands, making it user-friendly.
**Evaluation Summary**
To answer the initial question: besides being smart, the SONOS ONE offers excellent sound quality among current smart audio devices. Despite the setup being a bit tedious, once configured, it becomes a powerful home music platform. Its ability to integrate various music services makes it a great choice for those seeking a high-quality lifestyle.
