Sonos ONE wall mount

Hey there,

Looking for a bit of info regarding the new Sonos ONE with Alexa. I currently have my Sonos PLAY 1's mounted on brackets in the corners of my living room for surround sound. Will the Sonos ONE be able to mount on the same wall bracket or will there be a different way to mount it?

Thanks for any replies.

Cheers,

Alan

Bingo.

A quick search of Sanus, and I found this:

Just added a One to my collection and wanted to mount it on a narrow wall between a window and a mirror. It's in a place where having Alexa would be handy. But no reasonably priced wall mounts. Bad Sonos! One screw hole? You couldn't give us one screw hole to mount this thing on a wall?

I found an acceptable solution with this one-foot-wide tempered glass shelf. You can find it on Amazon for $11 bucks!

My guess is that the electronics packed inside the case don't allow for a mounting screw, otherwise they'd have left it there. and not have had to retool the back part, and instead reuse the PLAY:1s backplate.

Looking at both of these iFixit teardowns, they could have easily moved the Alexa mic button up about 1 inch, or put somewhere else on the Play One to allow for them to keep the same 1/4" mounting hole. The power delivery and motherboard of both the Play 1 and Play One (horrifically terrible naming scheme aside) appear to be the same, so it wouldn't have been impossible.

I suspect it was removed because someone did a survey somewhere down the line and found out that "less than 18.7777% of Sonos Play 1 owners use the rear mounting hole, so let's remove it to pad our profit margins!" To be clear, I'm still looking to buy a pair of Play One speakers for my back deck, as Sonos still has the best implementation of a whole-home speaker solution, but they really could have done better for their customers with this one.

    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. Same thing happened to me, I had play:1 and got One because of the airplay features. I liked to have them mounted on a bracket which had it looking like floating on the wall, now I have to buy new brackets which look like a shelf on the wall ! /:(
