Sonos One Review - 6 Months Later

Review of the Sonos One (Gen 2) after 6 Months of use. Deep dive into Sonos' Voice Control Feature vs. the Google Assistant and Alexa, AirPlay 2 support, the Sonos app, why you would get this smart speaker over those made by Amazon, Google, & Apple, the issues we've run into with it, and if it is actually the best smart speaker for the money.

We'll also get into how Alexa and the Google Assistant perform on the device, issues with the Google Assistant and playing music, lack of automatic play queues for music in the Sonos app, how to use Apple's AirPlay 2 with the speaker, how much of a difference TruePlay makes, go through how the lack of Google Chromecast support impacts the user experience, and give our recommendations on who exactly should buy this product.
