Can I setup a PLAY:1 and a Sonos One as a stereo pair?

If I'm being honest, I find myself considering replacing an existing pair of P:1 s with Sonos One's just so that I can drop "in the living room" from my voice commands. How sad is that? That's the one major advantage I see over Sonos One vs just adding a dot, in a replacement scenario anyway.

I feel pretty compliment that we'll be able to link an echo to a sonos zone for default purposes, fairly soon though. I think I can be patient.

Just a note here, for now, the plan is not to have the drop-in feature available on the Sonos One. This may change one day, and I'm certainly not trying to talk you out of anything, but just want you to go into it with open eyes 🙂

I also was hoping for the ability to pair a play 1 and sonos one that way I could move my spare ones around and have even more sonos in other rooms.

use your phone and a spotify premium account linked to google assistant. You can use voice commands via the spotify app to play without any new devices if you have an android phone with google assistant. try it today! it works if you set your chosen sonos speaker at the start of your music session! ok google play swing music....

I wish I'd have read this before buying the one, I probably would have bought a dot instead. My plan was also to pair 1s with ones and go to more rooms. Now I feel kind of cheated

I wish I'd have read this before buying the one, I probably would have bought a dot instead. My plan was also to pair 1s with ones and go to more rooms. Now I feel kind of cheated Just return them and your feelings of being cheated are gone. 🙂

I either buy 4 more sonos one's or return the one I just got and get echo dots and an echo plus. I have 5 rooms with a pair of play ones, I would change one in each then move the others to the larger areas. Does Sonos want to compete for wallet share? If it's technically possible, the return on investment is there, without factoring in customer satisfaction (I have 10 play 1's, 2 Play 3's, a Play 5), now I'm waiting on the new apple product since a complete upgrade brings in the possibility of a switch. Competition is getting heated, defend your install base.

I sure hope this is a hardware compatibility issue and not a marketing decision. Either way, it's stupid. Sonos must know that customers would want to interchange existing Play 1 pairs with the new Ones. A super bonehead move! And it's costing customer dissatisfaction as well as sales. I was going to get a couple of Ones to mix with my existing Play 1s, then gift the two Play 1s to a friend. But, I guess everyone loses.
This feels like something apple would do, and the reason I don't own any of their products.
It's a sad day in my otherwise happy sonos house.

Hi, it is possible to pair a Sonos One and a Play:1 but you have to use a 3rd party app. I do not want to make any promotion but there are so much threads about this topic... Looks like many of us want to do this:

You can use the official Sonos app after you created the stereo-pair and it works like a "normal" one ..

even tho i just picked up a open box Sonos One at Best Buy for $160, the shelves are loaded with returned Sonos ones here in my area, i am thinking about returning it also, just buy another cheap echo dot to do the same thing...i cannot pair my sonos one with the play:1 in the same room to get that stereo sound that i thought i would get... 😞

You can pair them quite easily with an app called Sono Sequencr.
