About the product
The most compact Sonos speaker. A perfect fit for bookshelves, counters, and other snug places. PLAY:1 lets you enjoy great-sounding music wherever you want to listen. Surprisingly Powerful: PLAY:1 sounds a lot bigger than it looks, thanks to two Class-D amplifiers and custom-built drivers, all meticulously tuned to the speaker’s unique acoustic architecture. Trueplay Speaker Tuning: This exclusive Sonos feature fine-tunes your PLAY:1 to make sure you get the very best sound in any room, no matter where you place it. Humidity Resistant: Enjoy your favorite songs in music-starved places like bathrooms and outdoor patios. Stereo Pair With Another PLAY:1: Turn each speaker into separate left and right channels for wider, bigger and deeper stereo sound. Home Theater Rears: Add a pair or PLAY:1 speakers to PLAYBAR and SUB for an epic surround sound experience.

What customers say about "Features"
 
Bose SoundTouch 10 Wireless Speaker
  • For this to work, you do have to download the Bose SoundTouch App. Good app, comfortable.
  • I have tried 3 ways (phone, remote, and on the speaker). I paused the music on the remote, and started it again on the phone.
  • The on-device interface and remote control are simple: power, source presets and volume buttons.
  • The setup was very easy. I love the control of the entire system right from my phone.
  • SoundTouch app can't control the speakers!
