First, it is a closed ecosystem, so you must use Sonos-branded devices if you want all of the pieces of your multiroom system to work together seamlessly. The Sonos ecosystem has two main drawbacks. IKEA sells Sonos-compatible speakers, too.Īll Sonos-branded speakers have built-in AirPlay 2 support, some newer models support Bluetooth, and many of them add voice control via Amazon Alexa, Google Home, or both.
The company also sells four portable speakers and two subwoofers, as well as three smart soundbars-all of which can pair with two Sonos tabletop speakers to form a surround system. Currently you can choose from five tabletop speakers priced from $200 to $550. Sonos’s speaker offerings come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and prices.
Plus, the platform supports more streaming services than the competition-in some cases, a lot more. The mobile and desktop apps rank among the most polished available and offer unified search across every music service you subscribe to. Sonos has made multiroom wireless systems for longer than anyone, and its experience shows at every level.
