Sound:

The two speakers are built with the same cabinet and internals, so they sound very similar to one another. The Sonos Trueplay feature on both uses advanced algorithms to measure your room’s acoustics and adjust the sound output of the speaker so that you can enjoy optimal clarity.

If you want your sound to be as clear and sharp with the best possible quality, get a pair. The speakers will output true stereo which sounds significantly better than when it plays separately with mono sound. The low-frequency output of these speakers is punchy and boomy, but since they’re so small you won’t be able to hear any rumbling.

Listening to vocals-focused tracks is a pleasant experience thanks in part due to the forward mids. The highs are sharp and well-defined, so you can hear everything in clear detail. This means that high-pitched vocals will not be harsh for the best quality. The Sonos S2 app lets you adjust the sound for both speakers with an EQ slider that offers bass and treble settings.
