The current model is the Sonos One Gen 2, which differs from the first generation in that this new model supports BluetoothBLE, it has a more modern processor and consumes less power. It is also compatible with second generation Apple AirPlay.

Regarding the rest of the characteristics, the One have integrated microphonewhich means that these simple pieces of equipment can be used as smart speakers. According to Sonos, this line has a great future ahead of it, partly because of its great connectivity options, since it also integrates Wi-Fi and an Ethernet jack.

Sonos One SL

This model is practically identical to the One, but it does not have a built-in microphone, so it is not compatible with Alexa or Google Assistant. It’s a bit of a model cheaper for those who do not want to use this smart speaker device or do not have a home automation with a virtual assistant.

Sonos 5

Five is a enlarged version of the One. They can be placed horizontally or vertically. Part of their charm is using them in pairs, each making a channel for a completely different sound. stereo. The design of the Play is its strong point, with black and white matte finishes. They replaced the Sonos Play:5 in 2020, although they kept the price of this product.

Ikea series

One of the best associations that Sonos has made to open up to the market and that more and more people know the brand is its collaboration with Ikea. Some of these products are very similar in features to other Sonos mainline equipment, but are somewhat cheaper.

Symfonisk Bookshelf Speaker

Its operation is traced to Sonos One SL which we have talked about before. However, it has two key points. The first is that, if we anchor them to the wall, we can use them as a small bookshelf, capable of supporting the weight of a few books. On the other hand, it is quite more affordable than the SLbeing a very interesting bet.

Regarding the operation, the integrated speaker is gold Sonos One SL.

Symfonisk Picture Frame Speaker

Symfonisk Picture Frame Speaker

Without a doubt, the most curious product of the collaboration between Sonos and Ikea. The idea is that it looks like a frame or a piece of art hanging on the wall. The funny thing is that the “work” of the painting can be substitute for another, and it will be as easy as changing the grille to the speaker by removing the rubber clips on the back. The works can be purchased both at Ikea and on websites such as Etsy. Another very interesting function is that it can be associated with another identical model to create surround sound in a room.

sound bars

In addition to stand-alone speakers, Sonos makes high quality sound bars that can be complemented with the rest of the equipment that we have at home to create a quite complex sound environment.
