It took a while to finally arrive, but in May 2019, Sonos and Google answered our prayers by rolling out Google Assistant integration to select speakers. Now, you can use the Assistant on the Sonos One, Beam, and Move. Having the Assistant on these speakers is a great addition, allowing you to easily control smart home devices, check your calendar, and more while jamming out to your favorite songs.

With all of that out of the way, you've now successfully enabled Google Assistant on your Sonos speaker! You can get the Assistant's attention at any time by saying "Hey Google" or "OK Google", followed by your command/question.
Again, this works on the Sonos One, Sonos Beam, and Sonos Move.
Our top equipment picks
Do-it-all speaker

Sonos One
Don't judge it by its size
The Sonos One may not look like much at first glance, but it packs quite the punch. It sounds fantastic, supports Apple's AirPlay 2, and allows you to talk to both Alexa and the Google Assistant. You can use it on its own, pair two together for stereo sound, or make it part of a home theater setup.
The best cameras

Google Pixel 4 XL
My phone of choice
The Pixel 4 XL is not a perfect smartphone, but it's the one I choose to use over everything else. Why? It has outstanding cameras, the 90Hz display is a joy, and nothing beats a clean Android UI with years of guaranteed updates. It's an expensive phone, but one I think is well worth it.
