I own Sonos One. Love it when the wifi connectivity between my cellphone/laptop and my Sonos don’t die. Iisten Spotify and some radio podcasts. The sound quality is great, especially the bass is pretty good. I wish there’s a bluetooth option which would offer better connectivity quality in short range.
I bought a Sonos One for my partner and regret it.
One of our use cases is playing audio from videos of dance classes. But it can't do this, because the WiFi streaming protocols are set up for linear streaming, using long buffers. That kills the ability to do frequent seeking and looping of sections of a video. Yet the most basic of crappy Bluetooth speakers has no trouble with this.
It never occurred to me that a premium wireless speaker released in 2017 could not do this. My fault, of course, for not researching it thoroughly enough. But Sonos's also, for arbitrarily restricting a perfectly sensible use of generic hardware like a speaker.
