The Play:1 (branded as the PLAY:1) is a smart speaker developed by Sonos, announced and released on October 14, 2013, as the fourth and least expensive product in the Play line of speakers. It is one of the compatible speakers that can also link in SonosNet, a mesh network that can interlink speakers to play media for one, some or all speakers regardless of location.Just to say that the “Play: 1” and “Sonos One SL” speakers do not have voice control, so if you’re looking to replace your echo dot in the room then you may wish to consider the “Sonos One” 1st or 2nd generation … note the Alexa voice component onboard these Sonos devices do not completely replace what an echo dot can do, some features are missing from the Sonos devices, like full support for routines and voice calling etc. Given that the original still blows us away with its sound quality, can the new model, with the added complexity of Dolby Atmos support, achieve extra spaciousness and immersion without having to sacrifice any of the original model’s directness, detail or general musicality?

The Play:5 was designed to be “the ideal speaker for the digital age,” according to Sonos, with a new design and a focus on flagship sound. Specifically, Sonos One pumps out 65 dB, which according to diysmarthings.com is the equivalent of 90 kW.

Because, other parameters such as the age/materials of the building, furniture/windows in place also have an impact on room acoustics.

The company says that these upgrades are organized with an onward-looking perceptive. Also, they say that they have not planned any features for Sonos Gen 2. The major difference between these two is in the three main parameters. It is said by the company that the Sonos Gen 2 comes with a more powerful processor, increased memory, and is more advanced in features.

The bass comes out without covering the mids. It has a different appearance than the original, but it blends in seamlessly with the company’s other recent releases, such as the Sonos One and Sonos Beam.
