#6

Voice assistant responsiveness was a bright spot in positive reviews, especially Sonos Voice Control working hands-free and even over Bluetooth for basic commands.

Voice assistant responsiveness is generally acceptable but not perfect, with one reviewer needing to articulate the wake word more clearly.

Response speed is often quick, particularly in expert testing and with the newer processor. Some owners still report multi-second delays, sluggish Alexa+ behavior, or commands that do not execute promptly.

Voice control is often quick and useful, though one review reports false activations and another notes limited feature depth.

#18

Siri handling can work fairly well when the required HomePod setup is available. That praise is narrow because voice control is not a headline feature here.
