Thanks to the rise of the internet, we've seen a resurgence in home speakers. The idea of having a "smart speaker" is more appealing to people than a traditional "dumb speaker." Since 2002, the company has made killer speakers. Its product line is now better than ever, with its top offering being the tried-and-true Sonos One. The One is one of the company's best gadgets.
The one speaker that stands out for most people is the Sonos One. The Gen 2 model benefits from an upgraded processor and better performance than the Gen 1 model.
It's our favorite speaker because of a lot of reasons. Even though it has a small footprint, the sound coming out of it is amazing. The audio is better than your typical speaker.
You can use the far-field microphones on the Sonos One to talk to the two voice assistants. You can only have one assistant at a time, but the fact that you can switch between them on the fly is great. If you're involved in the Apple community, you'll be able to get support for AirPlay 2.

You also get the usual array of perks. Pair two Ones together for stereo sound, control the Sonos One via the excellent Sonos mobile app, and connect the One with other Sonos speakers in your home for simultaneous music play across all of them at once.
If you like what you see with the Sonos One, but don't want to use it to talk to virtual assistants, you should check out the Sonos OneSL. The speaker has the same sound quality, ability to pair with two OneSLs for stereo sound, and the ability to be controlled from the app. It's the same as before, but you can't use it to interact with either of the two tech giants. There is still an Apple device on the One SL.
We think it's worth the extra money for the Sonos One, but if you don't want to use the Assistant orAlexa, you should go for the SLS.
We found the Sonos Move to be efficient and versatile in our review after years and years of waiting. It's one of the best wireless speakers and you will pay a pretty penny to own it.
The Move has a more powerful amplifier and deeper bass that makes it sound better than the One. This is an excellent mid-range option between the two and you will need to stick with the Sonos Five for the best sound. You can use the microphones on the Move to talk to your friends and family.
You can set up the Sonos Move as a stationary speaker in your home, but it's the fact that you can take it with you wherever you want that makes it so appealing. The built in handle on the back makes moving the Move easy. The Move is protected from rain, snow, dust, salt spray, UV rays, and extreme heat/cold and has a good battery life. If you've ever wanted to take a Sonos speaker with you out of the home, you'll be hard-pressed to resist the Move.
The portable speaker was the last frontier for the company. We reviewed the device and concluded that the company could take this level seriously.
You can use the speaker just about anywhere and everywhere with the added convenience of being able to do so from anywhere. You can use your wi-fi connection to listen to whatever you want from the speaker. You can listen to music wherever you go with the wireless connection. It's so easy to take it to the park, pool, beach, or campground because it's rugged.
The Roam is so small it's hard to tell it's a Move. It's similar to holding a water bottle that emits sound. It's good to put it in a bag. You have a smart speaker that plays nice, too, if you have support for the two voice assistants. At least the sound quality is up to snuff, making it a little easier to forget about the battery life issue.
A good soundbar can take your TV experience to the next level, and Sonos tried to address the size and output combination with theBeam (Gen2). It's similar to the original Sonos Beam in many ways, but it has a couple of differences.
It is not long or cumbersome because it is the same size. The front of the speakers are made of plastic and there is no fabric on them. It's a great choice for people with limited space on their TV stand, because it takes up less than a foot. The approach of the Beam is the same as setup is easy. Plug in the power cord and you're good to go.
The speakers were not changed so that you would hear the same sound. Everything from movies to music sounds great if you crank up the volume. It's best to connect it to your TV's eARC port since it's not compatible with the previous beam. It's possible to say goodbye to audio/ video sync issues if your TV has an HDMI 2.1 port.
It's a shame the speakers don't try to bounce sound off the ceiling for more of that virtual effect. You get a lot of support. It's compatible with both Apple's and Amazon's products. To create a true surround sound system, you should pair the Beam with the company's products.
It's an update to the already-great Play:5 that Debuted in 2015, and it keeps the same great audio quality whileUpgrading the internals to ensure it gets updates for years to come
The Five is capable of kicking out deep bass that gives all of your tunes immense power and force. The entire package is sealed tightly so that you won't find echoes or echo on other speakers of this size. The result is great audio no matter what you're listening to.
If you can afford it, you can pair them together. You can plug in a turntable or phone with the 3.5mm headphone jack.
When we tested the Arc, we found it to be the most powerful product for your home theater setup. It's long, bulky, and expensive, but it has a lot of power.
The number of drivers in the Arc is 11 compared to five in the Beam. This will give your movies, TV shows, and music a lot more oomph. It is possible to experience a 3D listening experience with the inclusion of the Sonos Arc.
Support for Apple's AirPlay 2 is included in the Sonos Arc, along with voice control via the Google Assistant and Amazon's voice assistant. Set up is easy, and you can expand the Arc with additional gear like the Sub and OneSL for a surround sound system.
The sound of the speakers is great and the ability to pair and play them across multiple devices is simple. If you already own a pair of non-smart stereo speakers, you can introduce the port to them.
The Port has a number of ports on the back of your old hardware that you can connect to through the interface. You can connect your audio equipment to the line-in ports or the line-out ports.
Controls for bass and AirPlay 2 are included with the Port.
There isn't a bad speaker in the whole lineup. The speaker we think is the best one for most people is the Sonos One.
The Sonos One is the perfect speaker for many reasons. It's small enough to fit in most rooms, has great sound quality, and can be used to answer all of your random questions throughout the day, making it a great option for busy people.
The Sonos One works well on its own, but thanks to how it was designed, it gets better the more you buy into it. You can pair the One with other products throughout your home for home-filling audio, pair two Ones next to each other for stereo sound, or pair a couple of Ones with the Arc for 3.1 surround sound.
For its relatively low asking price, the Sonos One has an insane amount of value and function.
