As you’d expect with a lot of products, quality is a very important factor for choosing products in the “Audio Equipment” category. But it’s even more important to consider and get a feel for quality when you’re buying online because you aren’t given the benefit of being able to see and try the item for yourself.
This is of course why we can’t stress enough the importance of reading lots of reviews, as it will really help you to get a good feel for how good the quality is.

- Price: It probably sounds obvious, but there are links to the price you pay and the quality of a product. Try and set your expectations for the quality based on your budget. You wouldn’t expect a Rolls-Royce for the price of a Fiesta so bear this in mind when shopping.
- Specification: It’s a really good idea to look over the product description and specification section of the website, for Sonos One (Gen 2) Smart Speaker with Voice Control you can read the full details on the John Lewis & Partners website where it will give you all the detail you need.

You’ll probably have a good idea of how good the quality of the product was and any faults or floors you remember from it.
