When it comes to audio products, Sonos is one of the names that would often crop up in a conversation. In fact, Sonos continues down the warpath with the introduction of the Sonos One, which is a totally new, voice-controlled smart speaker that is more than capable of supporting multiple voice services. Of course, it does not forget its primary reason for existence: to be able to play back your favorite tunes for all and sundry to listen to and enjoy, podcasts, audiobooks, as well as other kinds of sonic content from over 80 streaming services. The rich sound is well accompanied by a thoughtful design which will fade nicely into the background, where the asking price of $199 a pop for the Sonos One as it is released globally this October 24th is rather reasonable.

When the Sonos One is launched, music fans living in the US, UK, and Germany are able to interact with Amazon Alexa in order to gain control of the Sonos One right out of the box, now how about that? It even comes with full voice support for Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, Pandora, SiriusXM, and TuneIn. Alexa voice control for Spotify on Sonos One has been set in stone for arrival not too long after its launch. Apart from that, you will be able to enjoy voice transport controls such as pause, skip, volume up and down, not to mention asking what’s playing that will be available for all other music services under the support umbrella of Sonos. In other words, Sonos One will empower owners to make full use of voice in order to control their slew of Sonos home sound systems.

Support for music is not the only great thing about the Sonos One: owners can also enjoy everything else that has made Alexa so enjoyable, including hearing about the weather, set timers, listen to news and traffic reports, not to mention the latest sports scores. Regular cloud updates make it all the smarter, too.

Many of us do own a TV in our homes, and these TVs tend to be mounted on the wall. Where then, do you place the speakers? Assuming you are one of the few rare people who place your flat screen TV on its stand, then you might want to consider picking up the Sonos PLAYBASE. The Sonos PLAYBASE will be able to slide right underneath your TV, as it delivers a powerful home theater sound whenever the TV is on, as well as handle music all the time while it is turned off.

The Sonos PLAYBASE is the latest addition to its wireless home sound system, and this is the latest speaker in their home theater range. The PLAYBASE is a thin and yet powerful speaker, where it remains discreetly under the TV. With an asking price of $699 a pop, you will be able to find the PLAYBASE arrive in black and white shades with availability kicking off from early next month onward.

The Sonos PLAYBASE measures a mere 58 mm in height, where it packs a whopping 10 drivers. With the PLAYBASE, it offers everything that one can expect from a Sonos speaker. Offering great sound and music playback, it has been specially designed to disappear into the home. The way it has been designed makes the Sonos PLAYBASE look as though it has been cut from a single piece of granite. Apart from that, it also challenges traditional expectations of sound, all coming from a thin speaker. There are no visible seams that result in incredibly clean lines, while sporting an ultra-flat top surface with over 43,000 holes which make up an acoustically transparent grill.

The manufacturing process involves a complex insert molding process as well as a custom-designed glass-filled polycarbonate exterior that ensures vibration is kept to a minimum, enabling it to withstand the weight of a TV for a very, very long time.
