Therefore, after an in-depth analysis and evaluation of the speakers’ design, features, specifications, cost and hardware difference among others, we came up with a detailed comparison between the two. Below is the exhaustive comparison between the two smart speakers. What crosses your mind when you hear of design? Design is the eye-catching feature that will draw the first attention of the consumer’s eyes. The shape, appearance, and color are the most important tools in the design process of smart speakers. As they always say, the first impression matters, so it is with products such as these smart speakers. The Sonos One speaker has an incredible design displaying an indented top with rounded edges and a tapered bottom that allows for the floating effect. Also, it is surrounded by a metallic grille which stretches almost 360-degrees around the speaker. In addition to this, the Sonos One speaker is designed with a capacitive control pad at the top panel which allows you to perform touch controls like pausing/playing, microphone on and off, and adjusting the volume. It also has a status LED light which illuminates to let you know that Alexa is listening to you and goes off when you stop talking to it. Moreover, the power cord is located at the bottom of the speaker while the Ethernet port and the pairing button are located at the back of the speaker. Furthermore, its size is quite smaller than that of Sonos One and so is its weight. It measures around 5.8 in x 3.4 in x 3.4 in, in size and approximately 821 g in weight. This makes it easy for you to carry around while traveling but is disadvantageous when it comes to the quality of sound produced as compared to that of Sonos One. Sonos One provides an excellent sound quality feature. It is an implausible sounding speaker with a clear, smooth and rich sound. It also has a controlled bass that gives you a tremendous power to refine your sound. However, the speaker does not support Bluetooth compatibility or line-out abilities. On the contrary, it can connect to other devices purely through the Wi-Fi connection. The cost of a product is also a major deciding factor when you want to purchase a particular product. Depending on the size of your wallet, you can decide to take home a start speaker of your choice that is within your reach. However, they always say cheap is expensive. This means that your choice for smart speaker regarding its cost might come at a price. That is, cheap commodities will cost you later on.
