UMVA has learned that a highly sought-after wireless speaker, the Sonos One SL, is now available at a significantly discounted price, offering a unique opportunity for those looking to experience high-quality audio without the need for voice assistants.
This compact speaker, which delivers exceptional sound and seamless integration with the Sonos ecosystem, can be purchased for just $104.99, a substantial discount from its usual price of $299. This deal, available exclusively through Woot, represents a savings of $194.01 and is expected to last for 10 days or until inventory runs out.
The Sonos One SL stands out from its counterpart, the Sonos One, by omitting a built-in microphone, thus providing a voice assistant-free experience. Despite this difference, it retains all other features, including support for Apple's AirPlay 2, Sonos' multi-room audio capabilities, and Trueplay room tuning, ensuring a rich and balanced sound with clear vocals and controlled bass.
Inside the speaker are two Class-D amplifiers, a tweeter, and a mid-woofer, which work in harmony to produce a sound that can comfortably fill a room without sounding strained. For existing Sonos users, the One SL offers enhanced functionality, such as the ability to pair two units for stereo sound or use them as rear surround speakers with compatible Sonos soundbars.
However, it's worth noting that the One SL has some limitations, including a reliance on wifi or a wired Ethernet connection for connectivity, which means it cannot stream audio via Bluetooth. Additionally, it does not support hi-res audio formats. Despite these limitations, for those seeking a compact wireless speaker with excellent sound quality and no interest in voice assistants, the One SL is an attractive entry point into the Sonos ecosystem.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that this deal is particularly appealing for Prime members, who can enjoy free shipping, while non-Prime members will incur a shipping cost of $6. The speaker is described as Grade A refurbished, indicating it has been thoroughly tested and restored to near-new working condition, with only minor cosmetic wear.
