REVIEW: Sonos' Alexa-powered smart speaker makes me want to ditch all my 'dumb' speakers
Antonio Villas-Boas/Business Insider
Now it has a new model that does more than just allow you to play your favorite tunes in every room of your house.
The $200 Sonos One isn't just a connected speaker. It's a smart one.
Just like you could do with Amazon's Echo or Google Home, you can command the One to play music, control your smart home, give you a weather report, or tell you about your upcoming appointments, all by just speaking to it.
Right now, the One uses Amazon's Alexa as its built-in voice assistant to handle such commands. But Sonos plans to allow users to interact with the device using Google Assistant.
There are a growing number of smart speakers on the market. How does the One compare?
