Question

If not using the voice control, any difference between PLAY 1 and SONOS ONE?

Just would like to ask all of the experts here that if I'm not using the ALEXA or GOOGLE assistant etc... Is there any difference between the PLAY 1 and SONOS ONE? Will SONOS stop upgrading the firmware of PLAY 1 or the users will not be able to use it in some years? I'm quite worry because I have 8 PLAY 1 in my apartment...

    It isn't just about English, it is about Sonos not being as able as Amazon to have a global footprint being a lot smaller than Amazon. Amazon launched Alexa/Echo in India in October 2017, with voice control in English. But for Sonos to work in India via voice with Alexa, it needs to also be able to have server presence nearby as Amazon does, to avoid latency and delayed responses. As long as it does not have this presence, voice won't work as well as it does on Echo hardware in India.
    I expect HK to be in the same boat and if English is an issue, that makes it even more complicated.
