Sonos ONE wall mount

Just got my Sonos one. Immediately disappointed. 2 things. No mount! WTF! I use stands and I have to buy new! Second is the color difference with the existing Play 1. What were they thinking? Now my stereo pair is mismatched. Dumb, just dumb.

Uhhhm, what do you mean "stereo pair is mismatched". The One is a different model and cannot be stereo paired with a Play:1 for just that reason.

I meant the color was mismatched. but I was unaware it could not be put in a stereo pair so strike 3! You may say I should have known or read the description before I bought it and you'd be right. But again, why would they do this? A play 1 with an Echo in it sounded perfect to replace one of my Play 1 stereo pairs and get an echo in each room. I have 7 PLAY 1's in 3 Stereo pairs plus an extra stand alone. This makes no sense to me.

The wall mounts do look ugly though :(

I have Flexson wall mounts for my Play 1's and although a bit expensive for what they are, they are great quality and unobtrusive.

I know there's a lot of extra Alexa tech inside, but I'm still surprised that there wasn't space for a threaded mount.

Yeah they are ugly. I sent an e-mail to Flexson asking about three status of products for the Sonos One and here is what they said;

"At the moment we will only have the Floor Stand and Wall Mount for the new Sonos play One.
Will be available by the end of November / beginning of December, can be pre-ordered earlier but I don't know the exact date yet.

The Flexson wall mounts look way better.

Flexson told me that their new mount for Sonos One will be compatible with the existing footing for the Play 1. So although it’s a pain having to order (and pay for!) a new mount, it should mean the at least the fixing of the existing mount can stay on the wall and I don’t need to re drill, as the outer part of the new mount should slot in. I’m still annoyed at Sonos for not including the threaded hole on the new unit though!

What is this madness!

-Old wall mounts are now useless with new ones costing £55 and not ready for another month.
-Still waiting for spotify support.
- Will not link to a Play 1 claiming it is a different product even though my other sonos products link with it.

WTF Sonos?

Everyone needs to call them out on this! Let them know on Facebook and Twitter

Yeah, nothing like a Facebook and Twitter campaign to magically fit a threaded mounting hole where it wouldn't fit before. 😉

He would have been better off just getting an echo dot to use with existing play:1

Why would anyone buy 2 alexa enabled play ones to get srround sound?
