Sonos One Gen 2 introduces many small refinements while maintaining internal design and functionality.
Sonos One Gen 2 is the evolution of the basic model of the well-known smart speaker of the American company. Sonos has worked hard to refine its product to offer its customers greater quality. From the design point of view, the second generation of the smart speaker has a look substantially identical to that of the previous model.
The real novelties are in fact at the hardware level. Sonos has integrated a faster processor, more memory and the Bluetooth LE. The internal microphones have gone from 6 to 4 but have a greater sensitivity. This hardware refresh should allow the Sonos One Gen 2 to last longer. Please note that the Bluetooth LE will only be used during the setup procedure.
Sonos One Gen 2 does not introduce anything new in terms of functionality. The new smart speaker will have exactly the same functions as the previous model. The firmware updates will also be the same. Those who hoped that the new model would lead to the debut of the Google Assistant may be disappointed. The arrival of the Google Voice Assistant will still have to wait some time. Present, however, the integration with Alexa.
The new Sonos One Gen 2 has already been offered for sale in Italy for 229 euros. The previous model will remain on the market at 178 euros probably until stocks are exhausted.
More details about the product are available in the official sheet on the Sonos website.
