Our Verdict

Sonos One Gen 2/One SL

Denon Home 350

The Denon Home 350 is a better speaker than the Sonos One Gen 2/One SL overall. The Denon offers outstanding support via Alexa. It has a better-balanced sound profile, has a more immersive soundstage, and can get louder with fewer compression artifacts. It also supports Bluetooth, although it has high latency on iOS and Android. That said, the Sonos comes with both Google Assistant and Alexa built-in, though it isn't as good as the Denon at registering your commands in noisier settings.
