In our case, we have the One SL wall mounted in the kitchen using a third-party mount but Sonos themselves do also sell a “Shelf” and stand, although they are quite pricey. One fun design element I like about the One SL, and the rest of Sonos’ products, is that their logo reads both upright and upside down, so if you mount the speaker to your ceiling it will still be readable. The One SL supports first and third-party mounting options. Nor is there an AUX input, one of which can be found on the far pricier Sonos Five – I would’ve liked to have seen an AUX input as this would give users such as those who have a turntable the flexibility to listen to it using their Sonos as the speaker output without the need for any additional hardware. One thing you’ll notice is that there is no power button on the One SL, it is designed to be on and connected all the time. The rest of the speaker is otherwise fairly bare, as the rest of the speaker is set up and managed using the Sonos app. The figure-eight power cable plugs into the bottom of the device and is right-angled. The back of the speaker has an Ethernet port for a physical network connection which you can use instead of connecting the speaker to your Wi-Fi network and there’s a Join button for resetting the speaker. The One SL has an understated and minimal design. The top also has a status light that can let you know if the speaker is turned on and connected or on mute – although there are a variety of other status colours and patterns outlined on the Sonos website. A swiping gesture across all three buttons is used to skip tracks, this is fairly intuitive and does keep the top of the speaker looking clean and tidy. Three touch buttons can be found on the top of the speaker, these allow you to control the volume, skip tracks and also play/pause. The top plastic area of the One SL is home to the only physical way to interface with the speakers. I do really like how the One SL looks, it’s clean and understated and works and blends into the home with ease and has a fairly compact size, at just over 6 inches tall and just over 4.5 inches deep and wide. The metal speaker grille surrounds the entire speaker, and both protects and hides the two forward-facing speaker drivers, whilst the top has a plastic finish. The One SL is available in white and black and features a matte plastic and metal design that looks modern and minimal.
