Power cord doesn't fit in the speaker

I just bought two Sonos One (Gen 2) speakers. The power cord doesn’t fit the speaker plug on either one. I am reluctant to push harder unless I know that this is expected. I’ve pushed quite hard; the plugs have become stuck without connecting, how much harder is normal?

Obviously, setup is halted.

There’s really only the one L shaped cord that comes from us. It is a snug fit, so my advice would be to push harder. But if it’s really not going to work, you can contact our support team directly and they can probably send out new cords or replace the unit.

Sounds like you were not shipped the right cord.  Can you post a picture to confirm?  Sonos monitors these threads and would be able to confirm as well as other customers.

    Thanks for your replies.

    It looks like it’s the right cord, L-shaped, same configuration-it’s just very tight. I’ll try again and if it still doesn’t fit I’ll contact the support team.

    OK, thanks again. The cord fits, I just had to lean into it with some bodyweight.

      I learned to use a very light touch (not spray) of dry (just leaves a powder, not oily coating) silicone lubricant to ease the cord insertion process and if ever needed I sure hope the removal process too.

        You evidently have a Sub gen 2, with the cord for a Sub gen 3.

        It looks like your cable has a thin, circular flange, which is designed to go flush into a circular recess on the body of the product. That’s a cable for the later Sonos products: Beam, Amp … and Sub gen 3.

        A Sub gen 2 needs a cable like this: https://www.sonos.com/shop/power-cables-sub.html

        You’d better go and sort it out with Curry’s.
