Pairing a Play:1 with the new Sonos One

Then maybe you should say "People are going out and spending £180 on a speaker that can't stereo pair with different models, which is no different than every other model they offer" instead of "People are going out and spending £180 on a speaker that can't sync with its own speakers out of the box."

Of course, that doesn't have quite the impact.

Would love to see ONE and Play:1 stereo pair. Was shocked when I could not pair them. I bought one per room and can’t use. Why would I need 2 echos next to each other?

Is their an Android equivalent of Sonosequencer, so that l can test pairing between a One and a 1?

Add me to the list of Sonos punters who would like to stereo pair a Sonos 1 with a Play 1. I’ve grouped them instead and I don’t notice any obvious sonic difference so would it would be nice to create a stereo pair. Not the end of the world but more convenient.

I would not wait on it being officially allowed. You can do it with sonosequencr very easily so I would recommend you do that and not plan on it being officially implemented. Sonosequencr method works fine.

i can't see why or how this could not be done in the near future

I am surprised can't pair Sonos One with Play:1... Sonos always seems to be ahead of the curve and not let down on expectations... first time for me. Hope this is resolved soon.

At this time, you still cannot pair the two and it looks to be that way in the future. The SonoSequencer app will pair the two, and is available for iOS. This is not an officially supported app, but it does work.

SonoSequencer can create a stereo pair, but it cannot create a 5.1 setup (PlayBar+Play:1+One or PlayBase+Play:1+One). So, it has no use for me. this feature was promised a month or two ago, but never released.

Sonos never promised any such thing.

Sonos said they are sonically different but they would check to see if engineers thought it would be good idea. That is all they said. I expect their engineers had reasons for not thinking it was a good idea.
