I will be connecting only a Fire TV and PS4 to the tel...

One vs. Play1
Answered

Hi everyone. What are the cons by getting two "One" as stereo set instead of a "One" and a "Play1" as a stereo set? I think there is some money to save and I suppose that you only can use voice control with one of them? 🙂

To Play Music in Dining Room: 2 Sonos Ones or 1 Beam?

I am new to Sonos. I was planning to purchase 2 Sonos One speakers to add music to my dining room/kitchen area, but with the release of Sonos Beam, I am wondering if I should go for that instead.

I'm trying to decide between a pair of sonos ones or a pair of play:1s + an echo dot. I understand that at the moment, it is not possible to pair the play:1s directly with a dot (because Alexa is not room aware), meaning that Alexa will talk back through the dot, rather than through the play:1s.
