Powerful Sound

The Sonos One SL speaker fills a room with deep, rich sound you wouldn’t expect from a four-pound speaker. One tweeter delivers crisp, clear high-frequencies, while a mid-woofer guarantees consistent mid-range vocal frequencies, along with deep bass. Knowing each room is different, Sonos also built customizable bass and treble controls into the One SL speaker, meaning you can customize the sound based on personal preference or room acoustics.

Syncing Capabilities

When paired with the Sonos app, you can control the speaker straight from your phone and customize the volume and levels. The Sonos One SL speaker also has Siri compatibility; ask for a favorite podcast or the next song on your playlist and Siri can play it for you—hands free!

For a full home-theater system, you can pair one Sonos One SL with another in the same room for more detailed sound. The speakers can also connect via WiFi throughout the house to play the same music and sounds from one room to the next.

Stylish Design

At four pounds and 6.36 x 4.69 x 4.69 inches, this compact speaker can easily fit in just about every room in the home—including the bathroom. The Sonos One SL is humidity resistant, which means it’s safe to use while you’re showering, soaking in the tub, or getting ready for work.

The Sonos One SL comes in white with white matte grille and black with black matte grille, with touch controls for volume, switching tracks, play/pause, microphone mute, and an LED status light.

The Sonos One SL will be available for preorder starting 9/12 for .
