Caleb Denison of [[Digital Trends]] called the Sonos One "the perfect small speaker," citing simplicity, sound quality, and effectiveness.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.digitaltrends.com/wireless-speaker-dock-reviews/sonos-one-review/|title=Now that every speaker has Alexa, don't you want the best?

Denison in particular was impressed by the Alexa integration, noting that "If you think Alexa is smart now, wait until you use it on a Sonos One speaker."

Hardware

The Sonos One features two Class-D amplifiers, a subwoofer, a tweeter, and six far-field microphones.[5] It also has an AC and Ethernet port on the back of the speaker and is capable of 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi connection. It runs on a 64-bit motherboard.

The Sonos Controller app mainly controls and sets up the speaker, but can also connect other music services like Amazon Music, Pandora Radio, and iHeart Radio through voice interaction.[6] As with its predecessor, the speaker can link with SonosNet, a mesh network to play media for one, some or all speakers regardless of location. The speaker communicates with the companion app and music streaming services through Wi-Fi.
