The Sonos Play:1 is a small but mighty wireless speaker with rich sound that can fill nearly any room. It streams music over Wi-Fi, is moisture resistant, and can be wall- or stand-mounted. It can be paired with another Play:1 to turn each speaker into separate left and right channels for a larger stereo experience, and it connects to an Amazon Echo or Dot for voice control. All of this is packed into a speaker that measures 6.36 x 4.69 x 4.69 inches and weighs just over 4 pounds.

But how does that sound?
In general, performance measurements for wireless speakers (or any small speakers for that matter) rarely get better than this.
The frequency response for the Play:1 on-axis, one meter in front of the tweeter, is shown in the blue trace of the graph above. The average response over a horizontal listening window of ±30 degrees is shown in the green trace. When measuring the frequency response of a speaker, you generally want the blue (on-axis) line to be as flat as possible and the green (average) response to be nearly flat, perhaps with a slight reduction in treble response.
